Shi Nuan glanced at him, "What do you mean I’m actually afraid of water? Everyone has weaknesses, okay? My weakness is being afraid of water."

"You’re so afraid of water, what about participating in exercise?"

Shi Nuan looked troubled, "I’m also worried about it, but I can’t solve it. It’s the childhood trauma of nearly drowning that’s too significant!"

Chu Zhan’s eyes moved, "You nearly drowned as a child?"

"Yeah, I was very young, don’t remember much, but I’m just particularly scared, have nightmares every week."

Shi Nuan shivered as she muttered, "Forget it, let’s not talk about it. If I talk about it, I’ll have nightmares again tonight."

Chu Zhan glanced at her, almost saying something, but swallowed it back instead. Forget it, the little girl’s shadow from that incident is so big, it’s better not to ask.

Shi Nuan spoke to herself, "But luckily I have my second uncle, he’ll help me through difficult times, so there’s no need to worry too much."

The words "second uncle" made Chu Zhan recall the undercurrent from that day with Lu Xingshen, making him feel particularly uncomfortable. With a gloomy voice, he asked,

"What, you and your second uncle aren’t even blood-related, but have a pretty good relationship."

Shi Nuan, without any ill intent, said, "Yeah, in my family, my second uncle treats me the best. How could our relationship not be good? He’s my closest, closest family!"

Chu Zhan sneered, sarcastically, "You consider him family, but he doesn’t necessarily consider you family!"

Shi Nuan got upset, "Coach Chu, do you have an issue with my little uncle?"

Listen to this tone of defending her kin.

Chu Zhan instantly felt extremely uncomfortable, let out a cold snort, and walked forward in big strides, not wanting to engage with Shi Nuan.

"Hey, Coach Chu!" Shi Nuan dumbly watched the man walk away, couldn’t help but chase after him, muttering inexplicably to herself.

"Beep beep beep beep!"

At this moment, a sedan swerved over as if it had lost brake control.

At the same time, Chu Zhan was walking on the sidewalk, still brooding over Shi Nuan defending Lu Xingshen with his head down.

So, he was unaware of his surroundings, walking forward in a daze.

"Watch out!"

Shi Nuan, following closely behind him, heard the sound, suddenly widened her eyes, and in horror saw the car about to hit Chu Zhan. Instinctively, she pulled Chu Zhan’s arm from behind, catching him by surprise and pulling him to the back, while she leaned forward due to inertia.

The car was about to hit Shi Nuan, and she had already resigned herself, thinking even if she wasn’t dead, she’d be severely injured.

But Chu Zhan reacted quickly, wrapping an arm around her waist at the last moment, pulling her in with force.

The car brushed past Shi Nuan dangerously, while she fell into the man’s embrace. Due to the force, they rolled on the road, making Shi Nuan feel dizzy all over.

"Mmm hmm."

Until the man beneath her let out a muffled groan, Shi Nuan snapped out of it, looked down, and met Chu Zhan’s fiery eyes.

"Coach Chu..." Shi Nuan hadn’t finished speaking before she was pulled up by the other party, who asked her anxiously, "How are you, are you hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Shi Nuan had just been well-protected by Chu Zhan, so she was fine. She shook her head, looking at the scratches on Chu Zhan’s hand, "Coach Chu, you’re hurt, go get it bandaged."

"It’s nothing, I’m a man, this is nothing," Chu Zhan stared intently at Shi Nuan, his tone tense, "But you, in such a dangerous situation, why’d you pull me? Do you know if I hadn’t reacted quickly, you could’ve been hit!"
