Luo Qiqi marvelled at how lucky Yue Wuxin was. Nothing had happened to her in the water even after such a long time.
Su Jincheng shook his head every time she called for him to join her.
Curious, Luo Qiqi asked, âWhy donât you go for a quick swim?â
âWhy arenât you swimming then?â
Why? I canât tell him now. But heâll probably find out soon.?Luo Qiqi scratched her nose as she tried to think of an excuse.
âMe? Like what Yue Wuxin said, Iâm not dressed for it!â
âThen why didnât you wear something suitable?â
Luo Qiqi raised a brow. âYouâll let me wear something like that?â
âNope!â Su Jincheng answered firmly.
âSee!â
The conversation ended and they went back to people-watching.
Su Jincheng then asked, âQiqi, how about we go for a walk on the beach?â
Luo Qiqi had already given up on seeing Yue Wuxin embarrass herself, and she agreed.
âOkay, letâs go!â
Yue Wuxin spotted them leaving while she was still in the water.
Worried that she was being abandoned, she stood up and yelled, âJincheng, wait for me! Where are you going!â
Everyone near her, including Su Jincheng and Luo Qiqi, turned to look at her, only to be shocked by what they saw.
Yue Wuxin was topless. Her swimsuit was gone.
Su Jincheng turned away quickly while Luo Qiqi secretly jumped for joy.
Yue Wuxin didnât even realize anything at first, and it was only until she felt the cold breeze on her skin did she find out she was topless. She quickly went back into the water to hide herself.
The people around her started laughing, satisfied at their prank.
Yue Wuxin searched for her bikini top frantically in the water and finally spotted a red piece of cloth nearby.
She swam over quickly as countless pairs of eyes watched her.
Yue Wuxin wanted to murder every single one of them.
It must have been Luo Qiqi who planned this. I want to rip her to shreds!
Iâll make Su Jincheng fall for me one day. When that day comes, Iâll make sure to pay Luo Qiqi back with interest!
Su Jincheng saw that Luo Qiqi was laughing her head off.
âYouâre so silly. With how hard youâre laughing, Iâm guessing youâre the one who planned this?â
Trying to suppress her laughter, Luo Qiqi looked up at him, rolling her eyes as she asked, âWhat? You canât bear it?â
âI just think that this is the kind of idea youâd come up with...â
âTsk tsk tsk⦠look at you. Youâre trying to say that I pranked her right? I donât like her, yes, but I didnât come up with that idea. Didnât she want to tag along? Iâm giving her a chance to come with us. You canât blame me that sheâs the dumb one. People here are very liberal, and sheâs dressed so skimpily as well. Who asked her to be so curvy? Youâre going to blame that on me too?â
âIâm not blaming you. Donât get angry. Iâm just asking, not finding fault with you. Letâs go. Weâll come back and look for Yue Wuxin later.â
âThatâs more like it!â
Yue Wuxin grabbed the piece of red cloth that she spotted only to find out that it was a piece of red underwear.
This isnât mine!
Frustrated, she continued searching for her outfit but to no avail. Finally, she spotted a black bra somewhere and decided to just make do with it.
Afraid that history would repeat itself, she made sure that no one could touch her when she got out of the water.
She realized that what happened earlier was nothing out of the ordinary when she got a good look at the visitors in the area.
Even so, she couldnât help but be mad at Luo Qiqi. Luo Qiqi must have done this on purpose. Itâs no wonder she dressed so conservatively.
Inviting me for a swim but not going into the water herself. It was so obvious that she had something up her sleeve.
Yue Wuxin sat on the beach, staring into thin air.
She didnât have cash with her so she couldnât even buy a new outfit for herself.
The more she thought about what happened, the angrier she got. This wouldnât have happened if it wasnât for Luo Qiqi!
Most of those who passed her gave her a second glance. It was obvious that she was not wearing a matching swimsuit, not to mention the top did not fit her at all.
WIth nothing else on her, Yue Wuxin had no choice but to wait for Luo Qiqi and Su Jincheng to come back. Why does Luo Qiqi have everything I want!
She thought that Su Jincheng would go into the water with her since Luo Qiqi was dressed like that. She thought that she would be able to leave Luo Qiqi alone on the beach and have fun with Su Jincheng.
Who knew that Su Jincheng refused to go into the water at all.
Yue Wuxin sat there, feeling frustrated and embarrassed.
Su Jincheng and Luo Qiqi only returned after almost half a day.
She wanted to berate them, but thought better of it when her motherâs words rang in her mind. I have to play the victim!
âWhat took you guys so long! Iâve been waiting forever!â
Instead of answering her question, Luo Qiqi commented on her outfit. âWhat kind of style are you going for? Is this trendy here?â
This irritated Yue Wuxin, but she swallowed her anger since Su Jincheng was right there.
âI lost my top so I picked this up in the water.â
âOh! I thought you liked such a style!â
Seeing Yue Wuxin about to blow her top, Su Jincheng coughed and said, âYouâd better get changed!â
Yue Wuxin looked at Su Jincheng like she was wronged and stared at Luo Qiqi as she asked, âWhereâs my purse? Iâm going to get some clothes!â
Luo Qiqi smiled as she handed Yue Wuxin her purse. âHere you go. We were exploring the area earlier. I thought you were having a lot of fun here!â
Itâs so obvious you did that on purpose and youâre pretending to be innocent, thought Su Jincheng.
Even so, he didnât feel upset at Luo Qiqi. Instead, he found her even more adorable!
Yue Wuxin wanted to murder Luo Qiqi when she saw how Su Jincheng looked at the latter.
She snatched her purse from Luo Qiqi and headed for some shops nearby to get herself a new outfit.
After Yue Wuxin left, Su Jincheng asked, âQiqi, do you hate her that much?â
Luo Qiqi shook her head. âI wouldnât say I hate her as a person, but I hate the way she behaves. Why is she pretending to be all weak and fragile when sheâs an agent? Sheâs pretending to be all naive and innocent. Canât she tell that Iâve already seen through her? I donât see the point at all! She can just say it openly if she has feelings for you, and we can compete fairly. Why is she doing all this, playing the victim, dressing skimpily...â
Su Jincheng interrupted her. âQiqi, do you really see me as an object you can compete for? Youâre not even going to ask me where my heart belongs?â
âNo, I donât mean that. Iâm just saying that I donât like it that sheâs trying to play tricks. Itâs not that I hate her, it just seems like sheâs following somebody elseâs advice. I can tell that she really likes you, but her methods are so wrong!â
âI couldnât tell that you had such luck with the ladies in the past!â
âYouâve wronged me, Qiqi. I donât have luck with the ladies, even though Iâm pretty good-looking. But I know my place and Iâll be good!â
Luo Qiqi laughed. âSu Jincheng, how can anyone be this much of a narcissist?â
âIâm a great example!â
