Chapter 229

The drive was quite long. Even the noisiest bunch who chattered all day long couldn’t resist the drowsiness that hit them.

After arriving at the beach, the school organized the students of each class to go through the check-in procedures. Wen Mingming made sure to purposely greet the people in her class before coming over to share a room with Su Qiuge.

The location of the room depended entirely on luck so it was obvious that they were very lucky. The balcony of the hotel was facing the sea. Upon walking in, the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling window curtains were blown by the sea breeze. And when the curtains were drawn back, the warm sunshine could be felt.

Wen Mingming exclaimed and ran to the soft big bed in three strides. Her entire frame sank into the bed as she said with emotion, “This money was truly not spent in vain!!! I heard that we can go to the beach to have a barbecue at night! Ahhhhh, this is the best event arranged by the Experimental School 2!!”

Su Qiuge laid on the bed with her feet crossed and played with her mobile phone for a while. After waiting for a bit, Wen Mingming couldn’t stand it any longer. She jumped up from the bed and began to open her suitcase. She winked at Su Qiuge and said, “Let’s go, Qiu Er, we should go swimming!”

“I’m going to put on my bikini and walk down the beach without giving a damn about what people think of me!”

It was mid-afternoon, but it wasn’t very sunny. They could enjoy the bustling scene of the beach from here, taking in the clear sea that reflected the blue sky. Su Qiuge was also affected by the atmosphere, but she still couldn’t forget one fact, ” I…I can’t swim.”

Wen Mingming let out a small sigh, “It’s not a problem, we aren’t exactly here to swim anyways. If there’s really no other way, we can always rent a swimming float.”

Su Qiuge couldn’t bear to hear her begging, so she yielded and finally went to change into a swimsuit.

Su Qiuge’s swimsuit was a two-piece, the upper part was a spaghetti-strapped top that exposed the navel whilst the lower part was a skirt. Generally speaking, it was relatively conservative. The more Wen Mingming looked at it, the more she felt dissatisfied.

She compared her pearl white bikini before raising her eyebrows and said, “No way. Qiu Er, why does your swimsuit look like you’re wearing a primary school student swimsuit? That’s it? Only this bit of cleavage is exposed?”

Su Qiuge, “…”

She was even debating whether or not to bring her one-piece when she was packing. After all, in her opinion, this navel-baring dress was actually quite revealing.

But she never expected that Wen Mingming would be this open to actually wear a bikini.

After changing their outfits and applying sunscreen, they took the elevator downstairs. Young and beautiful girls always attracted attention wherever they went in their beautiful clothes.

However, Su Qiuge couldn’t stand the admiring gazes. She regretted that she didn’t find a blanket to wrap herself up in. She even retreated and hid behind Wen Mingming, admiring her from the bottom of his heart— if she hadn’t stood up in front, she really wanted to go back upstairs and change her clothes.

There were obviously more people on the beach. Su Qiuge even met Peng Jianda who was playing beach volleyball with a bunch of girls.

Peng Jianda had always been a friend of women, so he got along very harmoniously among them.

Su Qiuge followed Wen Mingming, using her mobile phone to browse the delicious and interesting things nearby. Passing by the coconut grove, she didn’t pay attention to her surroundings and was directly pulled over by someone.

Wen Mingming didn’t pay attention to it either and was still running fast ahead. Su Qiuge raised her eyes in astonishment and met Xie Xinglin’s gaze.

The expression of the other party was hidden under the shade of the trees, but the arc of the corners of his lips was also a little cold.

This expression…

It didn’t look like he was very happy.

Just as Su Qiuge was about to say something, Xie Xinglin took off his coat casually and wrapped her tightly with it, leaning her back against the tree in this posture. Su Qiuge was about to say something as she pushed his chest with both hands, but he grabbed her wrists a second earlier, holding onto them and lifted her hands directly above her head.

Immediately afterwards, his body that exuded heat was firmly attached to her. With a strong sense of oppression, he looked down at her. It was obviously an extremely tough posture that didn’t allow her to refuse him, but his tone of speech did not conceal his jealousy, “It was Su Yuanzhou just now, but now it’s your friend; there are always so many people around you…”

There were always many people taking her attention away. He wanted to be a gentleman and be polite without stealing her away, but it was difficult to hide the jealousy in his heart. When he said this, his tone was a little troubled, “Even if I’m without a name and status befitting of you, am I truly undeserving of a bit of your time?”

His lips were attached to the bottom of her earlobe, and when he spoke, his low and hoarse tone fell on the side of her ear. His mouth opened and closed, barely including the tip of her small earlobe on his lips.
