Chapter 426: Applying Sunscreen
Xiaomuqing couldn’t quite understand why sunscreen needed to be applied all over her body, especially since she was wearing a swimsuit that covered some areas. In her understanding, those parts wouldn’t be exposed to the sun and theoretically shouldn’t get sunburned. However, not only did her good brother say so, but even the internet said to apply it all over and reapply it every so often. It felt… too troublesome.
In the room, Xiaomuqing was lying on the bed, her swimsuit half-undone and hanging by her side, her smooth back exposed to the air. Before, she thought her good brother wouldn’t do anything to her, so she acted very casually around him, not minding much even if she was seen. But it was different now. Thinking that her good brother seemed to have feelings for her, Xiaomuqing felt a little flustered.
“Ying~”
Lost in thought, Xiaomuqing suddenly felt a cool sensation on her back. This sudden stimulation made her involuntarily let out a soft cry, then she tensed up nervously, finding it very strange.
“Relax, no need to be so nervous.”
Ye Ziming curved the corner of his mouth, finding it a bit funny. She was clearly so arrogant before, especially when they were living in South City together. Now, she looked incredibly obedient, just lying on the bed motionlessly.
“Hmm…”
Hearing Ye Ziming’s words, Xiaomuqing relaxed a little, her small head buried in the pillow, letting out a muffled sound. She didn’t speak, but her body said it all. From Ye Ziming’s perspective, he could see a faint blush on the tips of Xiaomuqing’s ears, and her ears trembled slightly, which was quite cute. Yes, his silly loli was small and cute to begin with.
Because Xiaomuqing disagreed, Ye Ziming didn’t help her apply sunscreen to the front, only to her back and sides. During this process, Xiaomuqing remained a bit nervous, especially when he was applying it to her sides.
“Didn’t you say you were only going to apply it to my back?”
“Isn’t this also part of my back?”
“Hmm…”
Xiaomuqing once again couldn’t argue with Ye Ziming, because he had the final say. Applying sunscreen didn’t take long, so it wasn’t long before Ye Ziming finished applying sunscreen to Xiaomuqing’s back, including her neck and other areas. As he was about to finish, he glanced at Xiaomuqing’s butt and curved the corner of his mouth into a sly smile.
“Ah!”
As Xiaomuqing let out a surprised cry, Ye Ziming thoughtfully helped her apply some sunscreen to her butt as well. After all, she couldn’t see this area and might have trouble applying it evenly, so as a warm guy, it was only natural for him to do it for her.
*Smile.jpg*
Xiaomuqing: Hmm, bad guy~ (covers face + steam from nose)
After it was done, Xiaomuqing sat up from the bed, covering her chest with her swimsuit, and pulled down the hem of her skirt, glaring at Ye Ziming. Her swimsuit was a two-piece: a small halter top and a small skirt, light blue with lace trim.
“Next, it’s your turn to apply it to me.”
Looking at Xiaomuqing’s fierce yet incredibly charming (cute kill) gaze, Ye Ziming chuckled softly. Then, he handed the sunscreen back to Xiaomuqing and lay down on the bed, waiting for Xiaomuqing to serve him.
“Hmph!”
Looking at Ye Ziming lying on the bed, Xiaomuqing let out a delicate snort, pondering how to get revenge. But she was still too young. When Xiaomuqing sat on Ye Ziming and did all sorts of things behind his back, he didn’t react at all; instead, he seemed to be enjoying it. This was too unfair! Xiaomuqing wanted to cry but had no tears.
Halfway through, Xiaomuqing retaliated by reaching into Ye Ziming’s pants and, like him, applying sunscreen to his butt. The result was that Ye Ziming still had no reaction, but Xiaomuqing herself turned bright red.
“Okay, you can apply the rest yourself.”
With a flushed little face, Xiaomuqing huffily rolled off the bed and went to the restroom by herself to apply sunscreen to her front. However, she didn’t know that Ye Ziming, watching her retreating back, quietly made a mental note.
After some commotion, the two walked out of the room together, met in the living room, and then set off for the beach. Although there was a beach nearby, it was free and open to the public, so its cleanliness was a bit lacking. The place they were going to was a paid beach that required a ticket. Besides having acquaintances there, the beach was also much cleaner.
Gathering all their things, the six of them chartered a seven-seater van and headed for the seaside.
“Did you guys apply sunscreen?”
In the car, Zhang Xiaoling took out a bottle of drink and turned to ask Xiaomuqing and Ye Ziming and the others behind her.
“I don’t need it.”
Hearing Zhang Xiaoling’s question, Lin Wenbin immediately interjected. After hearing what Xiaomuqing and Ye Ziming said, he had regained his confidence and was determined to win over his childhood sweetheart.
“…”
Zhang Xiaoling looked at Lin Wenbin, momentarily unsure how to respond. She felt that something was off. This strange feeling had been present since this morning. He seemed a bit too enthusiastic towards her, which made her a little unaccustomed.
“Mm, we did.”
Apart from Lin Wenbin, everyone else nodded. As Xiaomuqing nodded, she glanced at Ye Ziming with a very subtle look, her eyes seeming to hold a hint of complaint. Ye Ziming, in turn, smiled at Xiaomuqing without saying anything.
“Oh? How did you guys apply it?”
As they were exchanging glances, Wang Wenxin, who was beside them, suddenly asked the question. Wang Wenxin and Zhang Xiaoling helped each other, Meng Wenhao did it himself, and Lin Wenbin didn’t need it. So the question was, how did Ye Ziming and Lin Muqing, who were living together, ‘help each other’? As the question hung in the air, everyone else put on strange, motherly smiles, their eyes narrowing to varying degrees.
“Uh…”
Xiaomuqing was suddenly stunned, then her gaze shifted and she unexpectedly met Zhang Xiaoling’s eyes. They only looked at each other for a moment before Zhang Xiaoling quickly turned her head away, looking elsewhere, the awkwardness evident on her face. Then, before Xiaomuqing could react, Ye Ziming nonchalantly said:
“With our hands.”
His expression was very calm. If anyone only looked at him, they would think there was nothing improper about this. But when they looked at Xiaomuqing’s flushed face… everything became very interesting~
Before long, the car arrived at the parking lot outside the beach. Zhang Xiaoling got out and looked at the bright sunlight, wanting to persuade Lin Wenbin to also apply sunscreen. The beach, unlike other places, was easy to get sunburned.
“Uh…”
Hearing Zhang Xiaoling’s words, Lin Wenbin paused for a moment, then a lightbulb suddenly lit up in his not-so-bright mind. “Then can you help me apply it?”
