Chapter 38: 38. The reasons why Shen Qinghan tends to wet the bed

Translator: 549690339

Time flew by, and by late August, there was less than a week left before school started.

Zhang Wanxin saw that the summer vacation for the two children was almost over and none of the families had properly gone out for fun, so she suggested that they go on a seaside vacation together in the remaining few days.

Everyone agreed to this proposal.

The next morning.

Both families got up early, ready to drive to the nearest bay for some fun.

Before leaving, Shen Qinghan, as usual, wanted to ride in Lin Yansheng’s car and sit in the back with Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen felt that it wasn’t quite right to always lure someone else’s daughter into his family’s car, so he suggested taking Shen Jianye’s car.

About two hours later.

The car smoothly arrived at the destination.

The two families rented a seaside house, and after moving everything from the car into the house and getting settled, they quickly set off for the beach.

It was the height of summer, and the beach was bustling with activity.

Everywhere you looked, there were people.

Lin Yansheng and Shen Jianye, two grown men, faced with the occasional passing of sexy bikini-clad women, wanted to look but dared not, and awkwardly found themselves squinting.

Lin Zichen, being male himself, had no interest in so-called bikini beauties.

His gaze constantly swept back and forth along the shoreline.

He was looking for a less crowded spot suitable for swimming.

With the attribute of “Aquatic Blessing,” he now felt excited at the sight of water.

The wonderful sensation of soaking in the water at the swimming pool last time made him somewhat reluctant to leave, eager to experience it once more.

“Xiao Chen, there’s a changing room over there. I’ll go change into my swimsuit, and you wait for me outside,” said Shen Qinghan, pointing at a building ahead.

She could have changed into her swimsuit back at the seaside house, but she felt embarrassed at the time. It was only after arriving at the beach—where everyone was wearing swimsuits—that she slowly let go.

Lin Zichen accompanied her to change into her swimsuit.

And waited outside the building.

As for himself, he had come wearing only his swim trunks, not nearly as shy as Shen Qinghan. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

About ten minutes later.

Shen Qinghan emerged from the changing room.

She was wearing a very conservative swimsuit that covered so much not even her belly button was exposed, only her hands and feet.

It didn’t look like a swimsuit at all.

Yet even so, Shen Qinghan still felt embarrassed, her face red as she stepped out.

“Xiao Chen, do I look weird in this swimsuit?”

“Not at all, I think it looks really good,” he replied.

“Really?”

“Really.”

Lin Zichen said, going against his conscience.

Did it look good?

Very good!

But it was too covered up; it looked a bit odd.

Shen Qinghan didn’t know what he was truly thinking; hearing him say it looked good, a bright smile immediately blossomed on her delicate face.

Soon, the two of them found a less crowded spot to play in the water.

As it happened, both of their parents were also there.

The six family members coincidentally had the same idea and chose that prime spot.

“Xiao Chen, the seawater is so cold!”

“It feels like that when you first get in. Just adapt slowly, and then you won’t find it cold,” he said.

No sooner had he spoken these words than Lin Zichen submerged himself in the sea, commencing the long-awaited swimming session.

With his “Aquatic Blessing,” he was as comfortable in the water as if he were back home, finding every part of his body unusually at ease.

“[You are swimming, Qi-Blood +1, overall muscle strength +1, overall muscle coordination +1, water affinity +1, swimming skills +1]”

“[You are diving, Qi-Blood +1, overall muscle strength +1, overall muscle coordination +1, water affinity +1, anaerobic capacity +1, water pressure resistance +1, diving skills +1]”

With continuous progress fueled by the use-it-or-lose-it principle, Lin Zichen turned into a fish that seemed to have lived in the sea since birth, swimming more and more comfortably in the water.

Breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, freestyle… he tried them all, one after another.

Without repeating any style from start to finish.

…On the shore.

Zhang Wanxin, who was lying on a chair enjoying the sunbath, saw Lin Zichen swimming so impressively and couldn’t help but express her surprise,

“Honey, look at Xiao Chen! How can this kid swim so well? As far as I remember, we haven’t taken him to the swimming pool that many times since he was little, have we?”

“He probably learned it at school.”

Lin Yansheng answered casually, contentedly sitting nearby, grilling various flavorful meat skewers.

At that moment, not far ahead, Shen Jianye stood on a rock and shouted to him,

“Old Lin, come over here, there’s a rock that’s perfect for diving. I’ve checked below, and there are no hard objects; you can jump safely!”

“Coming, coming!”

Hearing there was a chance to dive, Lin Yansheng left the barbecue behind without a second thought and trotted over.

Soon after, childlike voices could be heard from the rock.

“Wuhu, a crow flying on a plane!”

“Boom!!!”

“Walla, walla”

“Look at my depth-charge dive!”

“Boom!!!”

“Walla, walla”

The two grown men got more and more excited with each jump, splashing water around, competing to see whose splash could rise higher.

Zhang Wanxin and Xu Meng on the shore were both speechless, criticizing these two dads for behaving more childishly than the actual children, not nearly as mature as their kids.

Elsewhere.

With his strong core strength, Lin Zichen effortlessly floated on the water’s surface, watching the two men diving and finding their antics quite amusing, not thinking of it as childish at all.

After all, a man remains a boy all his life, and as a fellow man, he really could relate to that.

“Xiao Chen, don’t just swim by yourself, come teach me how to swim!”

In the shallow water where the sea reached her knees, Shen Qinghan, seeing Lin Zichen ignoring her, called out to him rather plaintively.

Lin Zichen, upon hearing this, realized he had been having too much fun swimming and unintentionally left Shen Qinghan to her own devices.

Aware of this, he immediately swam back to her and patiently taught her how to swim, hand in hand.

“Xiao Chen, swimming is so simple, I learned it in no time!”

“Xiao Chen, diving is so easy too, I learned it right away!”

“Wow, Xiao Chen, I’m amazing! I always hear people say it’s hard to open your eyes in the sea, that it’s really painful from the irritation, but I don’t feel uncomfortable at all, it’s actually quite refreshing.”

Under Lin Zichen’s instruction, Shen Qinghan suddenly had an epiphany.

Once in the water, it was as if she returned home.

Every swimming technique was mastered with a single try.

In fact, without any need for acclimation, she was able to open her eyes underwater with ease, more comfortable than if wearing goggles.

Lin Zichen was dumbfounded, not understanding how Shen Qinghan managed to do this.

Born with an affinity for water?

But even with a natural affinity, one couldn’t possibly master every swimming technique instantly!

It was far from normal!

Hm? Not normal?

Wait a second!

Speaking of abnormalities, there was another unusual thing about Shen Qinghan, also related to water!

At that moment, the word “abnormal” that suddenly popped into his mind made Lin Zichen think of Shen Qinghan’s tendency to wet the bed and her pants.

Especially when combined with Xu Meng’s often comment about Shen Qinghan: “How come you’ve wet yourself again? Are you made of water or something?”

He had a bold guess about it.

Shen Qinghan’s bedwetting might not be due to a problem with her urinary tract, her bladder, or even her nervous control.

Instead, she might have a special connection, link, or relationship with water from birth, leading to her frequent bedwetting.

To put it simply, her bedwetting might not be a medical issue at all, but something extraordinary!

It might not be a bad thing as everyone thinks but a good thing that just hasn’t been discovered yet!

Like… the special constitutions for cultivation found in past-life cultivation novels!

The more Lin Zichen thought about it, the more excited he became, feeling as though he stumbled upon some earth-shattering secret.
