The gentle lapping of the waves against the shore accompanied Jiang Yichen's rhythmic movements as he sat on a rock, kicking his legs against the tide. The water's cool caress enveloped his skin, refreshing him. His robes, pulled up above his knees, remained dry as he sat there, enjoying the moment.
"Woah!" Jiang Yichen's eyes sparkled with excitement, his gaze fixed intently on the water as he kicked his legs against the tide.
"What are you doing?" The sudden sound of Mingyu's voice behind him made him jump, his heart racing with surprise. He turned back to look at Mingyu, who was holding two rods, one in each arm, his eyes gleaming with a hint of amusement.
"The water is so cold. Almost freezing," Jiang Yichen said, chuckling in amusement like he was having the time of his life.
Mingyu raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical. "Of course it's cold, so why are you sitting there? I brought you to the Crystal Cove lake so you could train, not play around."
