Chapter 345 Sunscreen
“Yo! Shinichi, and Kiyomizu-san!”
On the noisy public beach, several young men and women were playing volleyball on either side of a net with focused expressions. Sobakada Asada, who was sitting and watching the game, saw the two approaching and waved hello.
Indeed, as the person in charge, Aoyama, had said, because it was the eve of the peak season, the number of tourists on the entire beach was not particularly large. This small volleyball court had been booked by students from class B-2, and those sitting around to watch were all familiar faces.
“Mm, why aren’t you playing?” Sato Shinichi, holding the young girl’s hand, walked over to Sobakada Asada’s side, patted him on the shoulder, and asked.
“Hoo, I just came down. By the way, do you want to play a round? You and Kiyomizu-san can form a team.” Sobakada Asada turned his head, his envious gaze sweeping over Sato Shinichi, and then looking at the black-haired girl a step behind, he asked.
“No need, Kazumi isn’t very good at sports, so I’ll take her to rest over there first.” Waving his hand, Sato Shinichi rejected Sobakada Asada’s kind offer and pointed towards the shaded lounge chair area on the other side.
“Mm, okay.” Looking at Sato Shinichi as he turned to leave, and the obedient figure following behind the young man, a hint of envy flashed in Sobakada Asada’s eyes. He couldn’t help but look at the tall, elegant figure standing in the center of the court, and then let out a long sigh. “Even someone like Kiyomizu-san, it’s really enviable to have a girlfriend…”
…
Kazumi naturally couldn’t hear Sobakada Asada’s envy and complaints now. Of course, even if she did hear them, she wouldn’t care. The young girl, her cheeks flushed, followed the young man to the special lounge chair area. The light blue umbrella blocked the harsh sunlight, creating a shaded area on the sand. Coupled with the special location that allowed them to feel the humid sea breeze, the two felt the heat on their bodies dissipate as soon as they entered the resting area
“Hey, wait.” Just as Kazumi was about to sit down, the clear young voice interrupted her. Sato Shinichi took out what seemed to be pre-prepared cleansing wipes from his pocket, squatted down, and quickly wiped the white lounge chair inside and out, then turned to look at the girl. “It’s public property, so it might be a bit dirty. It’s not good if you get an allergic reaction from direct contact with your skin.”
“You…” The series of actions by the young man left the girl speechless for a moment. Although at first glance it seemed a bit too much like a simp, when she thought that the person he was trying so hard to please was herself, she felt inexplicably happy. She lightly lay down on the long lounge chair. Even when the girl’s small body was fully stretched out, it couldn’t reach the bottom of the chair. She looked very cute lying on the chair.
“Shinichi, aren’t you going to play volleyball with them?” Stretching leisurely, the young girl seemed to remember something, sat up halfway, and asked her boyfriend who was sitting beside her.
“I’m not going. I’ll stay here with you, otherwise you’ll be bored alone. Kazumi, after you rest for a while, do you want to go swimming with me? It’s a shame to come to the seaside and not go swimming.” The young man sat on another lounge chair beside her, leaning forward slightly, and earnestly asked his girlfriend who was sitting cross-legged.
“I don’t want to.” Silently giving Sato Shinichi a glare, Kazumi turned her head and refused without hesitation. The girl couldn’t swim. Neither Su Jun in her previous life nor Shimizu Kazumi in this life had ever participated in swimming. Humans always maintain a strong vigilance towards the unknown. Coupled with the girl’s extreme profit-oriented personality, sports that yielded no profit or return were indeed less comfortable for Kazumi than lying on a lounge chair and sleeping soundly.
“Ah… okay.” The girlfriend’s refusal caused Sato Shinichi a little disappointment, but the young man also knew that the reason the girl had pulled him to talk about swimming earlier was because she was jealous of Shinomiya Mai. Given Kazumi’s personality, this reaction was normal.
“Come here, come here.” Seeing the young man’s head droop with disappointment, a trace of reluctance flashed in Kazumi’s eyes, and she beckoned him over twice. “You know, you don’t always have to think of me so thoughtfully. Shinichi, your own feelings are also important.” While unable to resist poking the perfect body in front of her twice, the young girl lectured with a motherly tone to the blond young man standing straight as if being punished. Her slender fingers gently pressed on the young man’s abdomen. The soft skin-covered, firm, and powerful feel of his muscles made the girl reluctant to let go, and she carefully played with the perfect abs she had never had in both lives.
“But… Kazumi, you… will be bored alone, right? It’s such a good opportunity to play with everyone.” The girl’s bold actions made the young man nervous at this moment, but after thinking about it, it didn’t seem fundamentally different from holding hands or hugging. Sato Shinichi also relaxed a bit and shifted the focus of the conversation, saying hesitantly.
“I’m different from you.” Casually withdrawing her right hand, Kazumi shook her fingers left and right, pursing her lips as if she had finished a exquisite appetizer. With a playful look in her eyes, she looked at the stunned young man in front of her. “I’m used to being alone. If it’s about relaxing, lying here and watching the sea is quite comfortable now. Instead, you don’t have to deliberately stay here with me. If you want to play with them, go and play, be good~” As if petting a dog, the girl reached out her right hand and gently stroked the young man’s soft blond hair. Kazumi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint, unclear expression emanated from her jet-black eyes.
“Then… then I’ll stay with you for a while longer?” Sato Shinichi’s eyes struggled for a moment, then he finally nodded in agreement, carefully raising his head as if considering the true intention behind his girlfriend’s words. In fact, Sato Shinichi also wanted to play with his classmates, but because the girl’s place in his heart was more important, he chose to stay with Kazumi. The girlfriend’s sensible words, which almost made him feel guilty, truly moved Sato Shinichi to the point of not knowing how to respond.
“Mm, here you go.” With a relaxed smile on her lips, the girl crossed her arms, watching Sato Shinichi look so touched over such a small matter. Her peripheral vision glanced to the sides, and her previously relaxed smile took on a hint of disdain. She reached into a small bag next to her, took out a small blue object, and tossed it into the lap of the young man sitting in front of her.
“?” Holding the small blue bottle in his hand, Sato Shinichi looked up in confusion.
“Don’t you have nothing to do?” “Then, help me apply sunscreen.”
