"Song Daiyao, I can't believe you came up with this!"
Qiu Xi looked at the two light, flimsy pieces of fabric in her hand, utterly speechless. And they were pink, no less!
"You don't understand!"
Song Daiyao chuckled, adding meaningfully, "This was all planned. I've known Xiao Xi for so long, and I've always known she has a fantastic figure. It's a shame she usually keeps it so covered up. The most revealing she ever gets is in a long dress. Now that I finally have a chance to catch a glimpse of her charm, I couldn't miss it!"
"..."
Qiu Xi truly didn't understand.
"Do we have to wear these?"
Before Qiu Xi could finish her complaint, Liang Yunfei joined the conversation. While her own outfit wasn't too bad, she felt awkward with so many unfamiliar people around.
"No, you two hurry up. It's been an hour already; we should go down soon."
Fine, in the end, Qiu Xi couldn't win against the stronger force. With a wry smile, the three of them grabbed their clothes and prepared to change.
"Hehehehe~"
"Little ones, you've come this far, haven't you just learned to obey?"
At this moment, Song Daiyao had a little devil with a horned head in her mind, hands on her hips, laughing maniacally. The scene was too "beautiful." Seeing her like this, an outsider might think the world was about to gain another perverted lunatic.
"Cough, cough..."
Hearing the sound, Song Daiyao immediately composed herself, pretending to have just heard it, and looked up. As she looked up, her eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe it.
Xiao Fei and Shen Yan were one thing; one was a cool, mature older sister, the other a cute doll. She saw them often, so their sudden appearance was a bit startling. But Xiao Xi was a true stunner. Although Song Daiyao had chosen a cute pink outfit for her, it looked alluring yet elegant on her. The little top could barely be called a camisole, with its two straps that were practically negligible. Yet, this adorable color was stretched to appear full by her peach-like curves. Because it was tight-fitting, it couldn't hide her slender waist, which could be easily held in one's hand. Finally, paired with a pink mini-skirt, it showcased her S-shaped figure, with its curves and dips, to perfection. Without even looking at her face, her most striking feature was her pair of straight, long, fair legs, truly enviable. Song Daiyao, who had been lost in her beauty, then quietly looked down at herself. The gap was just too significant.
"..."
"Xiao Xi, you usually hide yourself so well!"
The moment she emerged, Liang Yunfei's gaze was fixed on her. The last time she'd seen her was during military training, but even then, she wore a tight-fitting training suit that was quite modest. Moreover, the lighting at night wasn't great. So, this was truly the first time they'd seen Xiao Xi in such an outfit, and it was quite captivating.
"Let me touch~"
Was this something the usually demure Shen Yan would say? Wasn't it said that such things were forbidden? So, was this a distortion of humanity or the downfall of morality?
"...Slap!"
Qiu Xi slapped away the approaching hand. If her face hadn't stayed the same, she would have suspected she had stumbled into a bandit's lair. These two, they were undeniably perverts.
"Hmm?"
"I'm not doing anything, just looking!"
Hearing Xiao Xi's tone and seeing the look in her eyes, Song Daiyao obediently lowered her hand.
"Doing the bravest thing, saying the most cowardly words. I despise you!"
For some reason, Song Daiyao understood the unspoken messages in their eyes.
"If you have the guts, you go ahead."
"I don't dare to either."
"Then why are you criticizing me!"
...
"What kind of spy game are you two playing?"
Watching the two of them incessantly exchanging glances, two black lines slid down Qiu Xi's forehead.
"No... nothing."
"..."
She was a little nearsighted, but she wasn't blind, especially not with them right under her nose. Forget it, she wouldn't bother with these children.
"Are we really going down like this?"
Pointing at her attire, Qiu Xi asked with some doubt. Although she had received excellent etiquette training, walking out calmly and without a ripple required some mental preparation.
"What are you afraid of? Aren't we all here together?"
As she spoke, Song Daiyao hooked her arm around Qiu Xi's arm, sneakily taking advantage.
"Exactly."
"At worst, you can wear this and take it off when you get in the water."
Liang Yunfei casually tossed over a shawl. It was neither long nor short, and when draped, it perfectly covered the mini-skirt. Fine, having something was better than nothing. Qiu Xi thought and put on the shawl.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~ Isn't this just trying to cover up what's already obvious?"
Looking at the pair of long, fair legs, Song Daiyao clicked her tongue, nodding. It was truly a little intoxicating.
"What are you doing? Aren't we leaving yet!"
"We're coming, we're coming."
Having prepared herself mentally, Qiu Xi thought that at worst, she just wouldn't go into the water later.
"Beep!"
"System task issued: Host must learn to swim within 3 weeks. Reward: 10,000 cash, hair like a waterfall."
"..."
"Xiao Hua, are you messing with me?"
Just as she was contemplating, the system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared. She wouldn't believe it if it said it wasn't intentional.
"Xiao Xi, you can't blame me. I'm just a system employee."
"No use trying to gain sympathy." She had already made up her mind.
"..." Is this not trying to make things difficult for its Xiao Hua?
"Xiao Xi, you don't have to do it. Just let it hang there."
It was clearly enjoying the show without caring about the trouble. Was this the same Xiao Hua that asked for a raise? People say there are a thousand faces to a thousand people, and her system might have more than a thousand faces. But it had to be said, this task still needed to be completed. Even if not for the reward, they had to consider the future, right? What if she fell into the water one day? Look at this foresight, this ambition, it had suddenly become so grand!
Pool-
"Look, they're here."
As the four of them walked in, the sharp-eyed Zhao Huasheng saw them immediately. Instinctively, Nan Hua turned his gaze. His eyes then fell solely on the girl walking gracefully towards him. A slightly messy ponytail, a transparent shawl, vaguely revealing the swimsuit underneath, and those straight, long, fair legs. Nan Hua frowned, thought for a moment, and then walked over. The constant furtive glances from the side were making him a bit agitated.
"Hey, Nan Hua, where are you going?"
Just as he was engrossed in watching, his view was blocked. Then he saw Nan Hua walk directly over, and Zhao Huasheng felt a bit dejected.
"Xiao Zhao, you really are a bit dense."
"No wonder he hasn't managed to win over a girlfriend! Someone who treats women like brothers and has such a straightforward thought process will probably take a while to find a partner."
"..."
"If you say one more word, I'm going to accuse you of cursing!"
Watching Yun Yi and Ling Shengyi exchange words, Zhao Huasheng felt his head spin, but he couldn't do anything. He couldn't fight them, and that was the problem. He was humble.
"Go ahead." Ling Shengyi waved his hand like a magnate, with a casual and carefree air.
"..."
"I'm going!!!"
