Chapter 158
Colin happily accepted my invitation, even saying he would choose the most expensive restaurant so that I’d be forced to spend more.
Over the years, I had saved nearly a million from the prize money I received from participating in various competitions, the income I received from helping people draw, and scholarships. I could afford to treat him to an expensive meal.
The itinerary he arranged was to go swimming in the open–air swimming pool in the morning and have a meal at noon. There were two options for the afternoon. One was hiking, and the other was bowling.
Since I had some experience with the dangers of hiking mountains, I chose bowling. I had never played it before.
After breakfast, Colin carried me into the car under Mom’s earnest
reminders.
I protested, telling him not to carry me, but it was futile. He told me that whoever was stronger had the final say, so I gave up struggling.
The open–air swimming pool was a natural lake with a large area. I could see the beautiful blue sky and fine white sand on the shore.
I stood by the car, watching Colin take out the travel bag. He opened it and gave me a blue bag that he fished out from inside.
“What is it?” I opened it and took the contents out one by one. This had me instantly blushing.
Inside was a set of swimming equipment. The swimsuit was light blue with dark flowers. Its style and color pattern were to my preference.
“Do we have to bring these things? I thought I could just rent a swimsuit?”
I felt so embarrassed that Colin had to prepare a swimsuit for me.

He rested his sunglasses on his forehead and glanced at me helplessly. “Can you bring yourself to wear a swimsuit that countless people have worn?”
I wouldn’t have thought much about it if he hadn’t mentioned it. Upon hearing that, I felt goosebumps rise all over my skin and shook my head firmly.
The swimsuit size was my size. I wondered how Colin knew it. It should’ve been private.
He was so clever that he knew what I was thinking and explained himself, “I guessed it.”
Did he mean that he… No, he would never pay close attention to me. He was just smart enough to guess my size accurately.
Entering the hall, he turned left while I turned to the right. We went to the male and female changing rooms respectively.
After changing into my swimsuit, I went to the back lobby to look for Colin.
It was full of mist. Although many handsome men and beautiful women were inside, I immediately found him among the sea of people.
He was standing quietly in front of a tree, attracting prying gazes from
many women.
His tall and straight figure was really outstanding.
“Colin.” I took a few steps forward to block the intrusive gaze of a fat middle
-aged woman.
With such a figure, she should go home to be with her husband. Why was she coveting Colin so presumptuously? How annoying.
The moment he turned around and saw me, there seemed to be a faint light passing through his eyes.
I often saw descriptions of men’s abs when I read novels, but never in

reality. I was curious. Was it true that a man could have a perfect figure with eight–pack abs?
The answer was undoubtedly yes.
When Colin walked over to me, I could vaguely see his eight–pack abs. Only the outline of the lowermost abs was revealed, with the rest covered by his black swimming trunks. It made me want to see more.
Until the moment I entered the pool, my gaze still lingered on his stomach.
