In Academy City, the Paradise Project begins.

Health room.

After a thorough cleaning, the room looked brand new.

Wan Neijuanbao and Pao Fuwanbin stood side by side, waiting quietly for the moment he would fulfill his promise.

However, Higashino seemed to have forgotten about it, stretching out with a big yawn and revealing an expression of great satisfaction with the results of his work: "Ah~ It feels so much better after cleaning! Thank you for your hard work, Paofu and Wannai!"

Pao Fu and Wan Nei were slightly taken aback, and exchanged a somewhat helpless glance.

Did he...forget? Or...change his mind?

For no apparent reason, they felt a sense of disappointment at their unfulfilled expectations... As for what they were actually expecting, even they themselves were somewhat unsure.

Just then, Higashino's gaze fell on the two of them, and he changed the subject: "Speaking of which, you two are the ace swimmers of the swimming club, right? Your swimming skills are super amazing, aren't they?"

Although the two characters didn't have many scenes in the original work, they still left a deep impression on Higashino because of their appearances in swimsuits.

The sudden change of topic caught the two off guard. Wannai Kinuho was the first to recover, waving her hand somewhat embarrassedly: "No...no, Dr. Higashino, it's just that I've been practicing a lot."

"Yes, slightly better than the average person."

Pao Fuwanbin echoed softly, but the undisguised confidence in his tone still inadvertently revealed itself.

"That's great!"

With his hands clasped together, Higashino said with a sincere yet slightly troubled expression, "To be honest, I have a very troubling problem this summer: I can't swim!"

His true intentions were revealed when the truth was revealed!

A mere kiss couldn't satisfy this wicked, lecherous doctor!

Of course, he wouldn't go to such extremes like Junko; that's something only you would do to punish a bad kid who lies. Wannai Kinuho and Awafuki Manbin are good kids who help him clean up.

Of course, if something unexpected happens and you can't help it, then there's nothing you can do. Remember those two policemen in the movie "The Mermaid" from my past life? They were so professional, but even they couldn't help but laugh sometimes...

It's quite difficult to control physiological reactions.

After eating meat, Higashino felt that he had become much more relaxed, and his morals seemed to have declined rather quickly.

However, he's still better than that certain clueless old skeleton, after all, that guy was a ruthless person who completely abandoned humanity and killed without blinking an eye not long after transmigrating. (After all, skeletons don't have eyes.)

He's just become a little more lecherous and his self-control has weakened slightly, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

"Eh?!"

The two young ladies exclaimed in surprise at the same time, their eyes widening. This Dr. Higashino, whom they considered perfect… was actually a non-swimmer? This unexpected contrast amused them.

"This...really? Dr. Higashino?"

Wannei Juanbao still finds it somewhat unbelievable.

"Replacement guaranteed."

Higashino shrugged, looking helpless.

He could tell lies so convincingly that sometimes he felt he was wasting his talents by studying medicine; he thought he might have a chance at an Oscar as an actor.

"I'm a little scared when I see water. It's so hot, it would be such a shame not to be able to swim, so..."

He looked at the two of them with a pleading expression.

"I wonder if you two 'ace coaches' are free this afternoon? Could you... take me, your clumsy apprentice, as your student?"

Although it seems strange for a man to ask two beautiful girls to teach him how to swim, the two girls didn't find it odd at all.

On the contrary, they felt that Higashino's request was perfectly natural, and Paofu and Wannai made almost no hesitation.

"of course can!"

Wannai Kinu immediately agreed, her earlier shyness vanishing as she revealed a reliable expression.

"It is our honor to teach Dr. Higashino."

"There should be no one in the pool now, which is perfect for teaching."

Pao Fuwanbin nodded, his eyes becoming serious.

Teaching swimming is their area of ​​expertise, which allowed them to temporarily put aside their butterflies in their stomachs.

Soon, the three arrived at the Tokiwadai Swimming Club's private swimming pool.

"Dr. Higashino, did you bring your swimming trunks?"

Wannai Kinu asked, her eyes sweeping over his empty hands.

Higashino smiled slightly and magically pulled a pair of dark blue swimming trunks that looked to fit him perfectly from his pants pocket: "I brought them with me, I just bought them."

Actually, he made it on the spot using his ability. After all, he never expected that such a thing would happen when he came to the school to clean. Asking the two of them to teach him to swim was also a spur-of-the-moment idea.

After all, it would be quite boring to go back so early. The villa would be empty after Index and the other two left, so there would be no point in going back so early.

Why not find a reason to spend more time with those two beautiful girls?

"Great!"

Wan Neijuanbao is relieved.

She was genuinely worried that if Higashino hadn't brought his swim trunks, it would take him a lot of time to go home and get them, or to buy new ones.

In that case, their waiting time must be agonizing, since the second agreement hasn't been fulfilled yet...

"Then let's go change our clothes quickly."

The three of them entered the men's and women's changing rooms respectively.

When Wannai Kinuho and Awafuki Manbin walked out wearing the swimming club's uniform competitive one-piece swimsuits, Higashino's gaze couldn't help but carry a hint of admiration and regret.

He's actually looking forward to seeing more distinctive, or even revealing, swimsuits.

Both girls have excellent proportions and exude youthful energy. The one-piece swimsuits are simple and efficient in design; although they offer good coverage, they still perfectly accentuate their beautiful waist and hip curves and long, toned legs.

The two girls keenly caught the fleeting emotion in Higashino's eyes. Wanai Kinuho bit her lower lip, then suddenly smiled mischievously, her usual generous demeanor now tinged with a devilish teasing: "Dr. Higashino, are you... a little disappointed?"

Pao Fuwanbin covered his mouth and chuckled, his bright black eyes showing understanding: "Yes, this is the style of swimsuits used for regular training."

She paused for a moment, looking at Dongye's slightly raised eyebrows, and lowered her voice, carrying a hint of shyness and teasing that she herself was unaware of.

"However... tomorrow during the shoot... as requested by the sponsors, there will be an even more... more 'special' swimsuit showcase. Dr. Higashino... are you looking forward to it?"

This almost blatant hint made Higashino somewhat expectant. He nodded without any attempt to hide his excitement, his gaze sweeping honestly over the two of them: "Of course I'm looking forward to it. Very, very much so."

This bluntness made the hearts of those in the bubbling waters and the bay, which had just calmed down, race again.

"Alright, let's begin! Dr. Higashino, the first step is to overcome your fear of water and feel its buoyancy."

Wannei Juanbao has entered coach mode, and her voice is clear.

She gestured for Higashino Yu to sit by the pool and practice kicking his legs in the water.

"Keep your ankles straight, and don't bend your knees too much, like this..."

Wannai stood in the water and very naturally grasped Higashino's ankle, helping him adjust his posture.

Through the cool water, the girl could clearly feel the warmth and smoothness of her palm.

Higashino cooperated and let her do whatever she wanted, looking like a complete novice.

"Can you feel the propulsion of the water?"

Pao Fuwanbin also went into the water and patiently guided the others from the side.

"You need to relax your body; the more tense you are, the easier it is to sink."

She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently placed her hand on Dongye's taut calf.

"You're overexerting yourself here, relax a bit."

Higashino relaxed his muscles as instructed, feeling the gentle guidance from Bubble's palm.

"Hmm...okay, that seems to be it..."

He pretended to suddenly realize something.

The next step is to hold your breath underwater.

He held onto the edge of the pool, took a deep breath, and submerged his head in the water. After holding his breath for only a few seconds, he suddenly looked up and coughed violently, pretending to choke.

"Oh dear! Are you alright, Dr. Higashino?"

Wannai Kinu immediately leaned closer, patting his back with one hand and holding onto the edge of the pool with the other, her entire upper body almost pressed against his arm.

"Cough cough... It's nothing, it's just... some water got into my nose..."

Panting, Higashino took the opportunity to "weakly" lean half of his body weight slightly against the approaching bay.

The girl's warm breath and the touch of her skin with water droplets made him realize once again that his choice was indeed correct.

Pretending to be a newbie is a pretty good experience. I wish I had done this at the last swimsuit party. It would have been fun to have the girls take turns teaching me.

"Take it slow, everyone is like this at the beginning."

Unaware of his hidden thoughts, Wanai Kinuho simply offered heartfelt comfort, her supporting arm radiating strength.

"Just try a few more times and it will work."

Pao Fuwanbin was also on the other side, handing over a glass of warm water: "Drink some water to rinse your mouth, Dr. Dongye. Try again later, I'll demonstrate for you."

She took a deep breath and gracefully sank into the water, like a beautiful fish, demonstrating a perfect breath-holding motion. Higashino's gaze lingered on her graceful figure in the water and the ripples on the surface caused by her movement.

Learning to float became a major area of ​​physical contact. Higashino deliberately acted extremely uncoordinated, thrashing about in the water.

"Dr. Dongye! Don't be nervous! Relax, I'll support you!"

Wannai Kinu approached decisively from the front, one hand encircling his armpit, the other supporting his lower back, using her body to keep him afloat. The girl's soft body pressed tightly against his back and arms, and for balance, her chest even unconsciously pressed slightly against his shoulder blades.

The intense physical contact made Wannei's cheeks flush instantly, but she tried to maintain the coach's seriousness: "Can you feel it? The buoyancy of the water! Relax!"

On the other side, Pao Fuwanbin was helping him adjust his sinking legs: "Pull your waist in a little, don't tense your legs too much..."

Her fingers gently traced the outside of his thighs and buttocks; the cool water couldn't extinguish the burning sensation. Pao Fu bit her lip, trying to move quickly and professionally, but her reaction, which had turned her neck red, still betrayed the turmoil in her heart.

During each breathing exercise, Higashino's movements appeared clumsy, either choking on water or having a chaotic rhythm. Paofu and Wannai had to frequently approach him, either supporting his arm to help him stabilize his body, gently lifting his chin to adjust the angle of his breathing, or pressing on his abdomen to guide his breathing rhythm.

Every touch carried the coolness of water and the warmth unique to a young girl's skin; every exchange of glances carried worry, encouragement, and an increasingly undeniable shyness, and... a certain ignited flutter of excitement.

Chapter 163 A Beautiful Girl's Massage and Back Walking

An hour later, under the dedicated and close guidance of the two "ace coaches", Higashino was finally able to "barely" manage to paddle out about ten meters without being supported, using a clumsy breaststroke.

Although his movements were stiff and he had to stop every now and then to tread water and catch his breath, he had at least managed to "get started".

"It's...it's a success!"

He thrashed to the edge of the pool, gripped the railing, panting heavily, his wet hair plastered to his forehead, looking utterly exhausted.

"Phew...finally...I can...swim a little bit...thank you!"

Higashino was indeed tired, but it was from playing the role of a novice. Now he understood how hard it was for actors.

Wan Neijuanbao and Pao Fuwanbin swam to his side, their faces filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

Looking closely at his slightly disheveled profile and wet chest, both of them felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

After all, teaching a 'newbie' to learn a new skill they are good at from scratch is a special and fulfilling experience.

"Dr. Higashino learns very quickly!"

Wan Nei sincerely praised him, ignoring the fact that his movements were still far from standard.

"Yes, you'll be very skilled after a few more practice sessions."

Bubbles smiled and echoed.

"Ah...but...I'm so tired..."

Higashino lay on the edge of the pool, resting his head on his arm, his voice tinged with weakness.

"I feel like my whole body is falling apart... especially my waist and back..."

He turned his head to the side and looked at the two of them with a clearly pleading gaze.

“I helped you solve this problem…you taught me how to swim…now, as a student, may I make one more small request?”
