Lin Jie, using the buoyancy of the water, pushed himself up with effort and sat on the edge of the pool, gasping for air like a bellows.
He looked at the 50-meter standard pool at Qingniao Fitness Center and sighed at his own poor physical condition. He had only swum a lap, and his body was already struggling to keep up.
Feeling a chill, he shook his body vigorously to shake off the water droplets. But his right hand involuntarily touched his chest, where there was a vertical scar about 20 centimeters long along the sternum.
Lin Jie also understood that nineteen years of frailty, even with a powerful new engine, could not be transformed into physical strength overnight.
After resting for about ten minutes, Lin Jie swam another lap, dried himself off, and left the pool.
