The tension was palpable.
The two glared at each other, neither willing to back down.
Lu Shifeng tightened his grip on the ice drink cup, considering whether to smash it over Pei Ziheng’s head.
Pei Ziheng spoke gravely, "What, want to fight? Didn’t I teach you a good enough lesson last ti?"
Lu Shifeng’s narrow eyes slightly squinted, filled with nace, "Weren’t you the one who got hurt worse last ti?" Last ti, Pei Ziheng had co to Fengren to cause trouble after he made Xia Ling cry, and they ended up having a real fight.
Pei Ziheng said, "Stop being stubborn."
Lu Shifeng replied, "You’re the one being stubborn."
Both ended up bruised that ti; Lu Shifeng had a blackened eye corner, and Pei Ziheng’s lip was bleeding. It was hard to declare a winner, though each believed he was the victor.
The atmosphere chilled to freezing point, the two once again glaring at each other without conceding.
The cool sea breeze swept over the beach, with the clear, cheerful laughter of the girls echoing in the wind. Apparently, none of them noticed the tense situation here.
Lu Shifeng’s fingers gripped and released the ice drink glass repeatedly, weighing the consequences of fighting here. His panda eye began to fade only after a long while last ti. Wouldn’t that affect his dignified image in front of Xingyu? Clearly, Pei Ziheng was pondering the sa thing. Xiaoling cried for a long ti after he went back bruised.
"I can’t be bothered with you," Pei Ziheng spoke first, suggesting, "How about we head to the vacation house, find so other entertainnt, to stop you from constantly eyeing my woman?"
Lu Shifeng gave him an extrely disdainful look.
"What’s your taste?" he said, wondering what kind of man would like Xia Ling’s noisy and boisterous type.
He set down the ice drink, got up from the beach chair, and strode over to the two girls playing in the water.
The two girls were completely oblivious.
Su Xingyu was bent over busy splashing water on Xia Ling, laughing and shouting, "I told you to splash , I told you to splash ! Haha—ah!"
Suddenly, joy turned to sorrow, the world spinning; when she realized, she was already hoisted onto a shoulder, swiftly moving away from the shallow water.
Her head was spinning, buzzing, only recovering after several seconds. Recognizing who had her, she couldn’t help but pound on his firm back, "Lu Shifeng! What are you doing, put down!"
"Lu Shifeng, this is breaking the rules! Stop! If you have the guts, don’t rescue Xingyu!" Xia Ling shouted, following closely behind them, "Xingyu, you’re cheating! Co down, don’t leave!"
Su Xingyu also wished to co down, pounding Lu Shifeng with her hands and feet, "Put down! I’m not done playing!"
Lu Shifeng grew impatient, landing a firm palm on her petite rear, scaring her into silence.
"Behave," he said, "Water play ti’s over."
Boohoo, tyrant! Sparta! Lunatic!
Su Xingyu couldn’t believe that even at her age, soone was controlling her water play. It’s not as if she was on a school field trip!
It’s so early, the sun hasn’t even set yet!
"Lu Shifeng..." she protested miserably, but the hand remained on her rear, making her blush with embarrassnt, totally afraid to move.
Especially in front of Xiaoling and Pei Ziheng!
Su Xingyu decided to stop struggling, covering her face with her hands directly, boohoo, how embarrassing.
Lu Shifeng carried her all the way back to their lodging, not far from that stretch of beach. He then tossed her onto the soft down bed.
"Lu Shifeng, what are you doing?!" She finally had the chance to sit up and protest, "I was having a good ti with Xiaoling; why did you treat like that?! How mortifying..."
Seeing her accusatory look, Lu Shifeng was unmoved, instead putting on a stern face, reprimanding her, "Didn’t you notice Pei Ziheng there? Wearing a bikini? Couldn’t you find sowhere else to play?"
Su Xingyu: "...??...!!"
She was speechless, dumbstruck at the man before her, then glanced down at her bikini-clad self. The thin fabric outlined her shapely figure, but what was wrong with that? Almost all the girls playing on the beach would dress like this! Those beach resorts were packed with n! Why couldn’t he tolerate one Pei Ziheng?!
"You’re... too archaic..." she attempted to reason with him.
He leaned over her, extended his long, strong fingers to unhook her bikini strap, his voice growling, "Archaic? You yourself provoked ."
"Hey! Lu Shifeng! Don’t be impulsive!" The bikini strap easily undone by him, Su Xingyu was left struggling uselessly, trying to cover herself on the soft down bed. "You... you... behaving this way is highly inappropriate! What would Xiaoling and the others think?" She lanted as she tried to reason with him, "It’s not even nightti yet..."
"Nightti will have its own share," he showed no courtesy, pinning her hands and feet, "Xingyu, if you dare dress like that in front of other n again, you know the consequences."
Then ca a storm-like onslaught...
Su Xingyu couldn’t withstand him, tears in her eyes, cursing the tyrant, antique, and old-fashioned man in her heart. Wasn’t it just a bikini? Was it such a big deal?
...
After this incident, a shy girl didn’t leave the house for three days.
Lu the beast was thoroughly satisfied, having als sent to the room daily, eating and... sleeping with her.
By the fourth day, Xia Ling next door finally couldn’t take it anymore, secretly sneaking over to find her, pleading, "Xingyu, Xingyu, co out and play~ co out and play~"
Su Xingyu was covered in red and purple marks, unfit to be seen, cursing Lu Shifeng the beast over and over in her heart, while racking her brains to fool Xia Ling, "My period ca these past few days, I don’t feel well, can’t go in the water..."
"Ah? Really..." Xia Ling was visibly disappointed, "No wonder you’ve been invisible these days." As she talked, her spirits rose again, "Then will you accompany to explore the mountains? Just over there." She waved her hand casually, pointing at a small hill not far away, "I saw so beautiful flowers there."
Su Xingyu had been cooped up indoors, unable to bear it, quickly agreeing while Lu Shifeng wasn’t around, "Let’s go now."
The two girls snuck out together.
Only then did Xia Ling breathe a sigh of relief, "So nerve-wracking, Ziheng grounded , wouldn’t let co find you, saying he’s worried about encountering a lunatic. Xingyu, where’s the lunatic?"
Su Xingyu: "..."
"Where are Lu Shifeng and Pei Ziheng?" Su Xingyu quietly changed the topic.
Unaware of any issue, Xia Ling followed her lead, "Ziheng? He’s super busy every day, even on vacation people keep calling him. He’s probably dealing with work now. Your tyrant? Sa as Ziheng, when I sneaked over just now I saw them both handling work at the Coconut Sea Corridor café."
