Chapter 434: Xi Xi, Are You Done Yet?

After lunch, everyone went up to the second floor first to relax and digest before heading to the beach.

Butler Liu led them to the second floor and gave a brief introduction to the facilities there.

For example, the billiard table in the center of the hall, the mahjong room to the east, the KTV lounge to the north, and even an indoor hot spring to the south.

The four parents went to the mahjong room to play a few rounds.

Li Luo was playing one against three at the billiard table.

Midway, Xu Youyu slipped over to the entrance of the indoor hot spring, glanced inside a couple more times, then said to Li Luo: "Want to soak in this tonight?"

Ying Chanxi, who was just aiming at the white ball with her cue, heard Xu Youyu say this to Li Luo, immediately widened her eyes, and hurriedly asked: "How can boys and girls soak in the hot spring together?"

"Just wear swimsuits," Xu Youyu said matter-of-factly. "Didn't you bring a swimsuit too, Xi Xi? We can all go together—I saw how big this indoor hot spring pool is."

"I want to come too," Yan Zhusheng raised her hand. "Can we not wear swimsuits? I think it's fine."

"I think it's not fine," Li Luo grumbled, pressing down on Yan Zhusheng's head and ruffling her hair. "Put on your swimsuit properly."

"Oh…"

They played on the second floor until nearly two o'clock, when Lin Xiuhong and the others emerged from the mahjong room, greeted Li Luo and the others, then headed upstairs to change into swimsuits.

Seeing this, Li Luo and the other three stopped playing and followed them upstairs.

"Mom, once you've changed into your swimsuits, just go downstairs and follow the staff to the beach," Li Luo said. "They've probably already set everything up there."

"Set up what?" Lin Xiuhong asked, puzzled.

"Sunshades, loungers, snacks and drinks—the guy said there's also one more thing to play with," Li Luo replied. "Butler Liu will explain it to you when you get there."

"Got it. You guys hurry up and change too."

The eight of them split at the third-floor staircase.

After watching their parents go upstairs, Xu Youyu grinned and leaned close to Li Luo's ear: "Help me apply sunscreen later, okay?"

Even though she whispered it near his ear, Xu Youyu's voice wasn't quiet at all.

Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi, who had been about to return to their rooms to change, clearly heard her, and instantly turned to look at Li Luo.

"Sister Xue… you're asking Li Luo to apply sunscreen for you?" Ying Chanxi asked after a pause, unable to hold back.

"What's wrong with that?" Xu Youyu blinked. "Xi Xi can ask Li Luo too."

"Hmm…" Ying Chanxi bit her lip. Uncharacteristically, she didn't blush—instead, she kept glancing back and forth between Li Luo and Xu Youyu.

Yan Zhusheng, watching them with suspicion, added: "Then I'll go change first—Li Luo, you apply mine later."

Seeing Yan Zhusheng say that, Ying Chanxi pushed her suspicions aside and quickly said: "Then—I want that too."

"Cough… why don't you just help each other apply?" Li Luo thought of having to apply sunscreen to three girls—even imagining it made him feel overwhelmed.

Not to mention actually doing it.

But Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng were firm—they gave him no chance to refuse, already turning and running back to their rooms.

Xu Youyu noticed the strange expressions on both girls' faces but didn't think much of it. Seeing them return to their rooms, she playfully poked Li Luo's side: "So? Aren't you going to thank me?"

"Thanks a lot."

"Then I'll wait for you in my room," Xu Youyu smiled. "Go room by room."

Li Luo: "... Didn't you all just come to my room after changing?"

"Yan Zhusheng doesn't mind," Xu Youyu said. "But Xi Xi will be shy—you have to go to her room alone to apply it."

"Fine."

"What do you mean 'fine'?" Xu Youyu glared at him, pinching his waist. "You got what you wanted and now you're acting like it's a burden?"

"You're the best, Youyu Sister," Li Luo suddenly hugged her, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "I just want to apply sunscreen to Youyu Sister."

That "Youyu Sister" instantly melted Xu Youyu. Her ears turned red, and a jolt shot straight through her mind.

Earlier, when she'd begged him to say it, he refused—but now he said it on his own.

Thinking this, Xu Youyu couldn't help but tilt her head up, cupped Li Luo's face, and rose on her toes to kiss him.

Their breaths grew heavier, footsteps light.

Xu Youyu's long hair brushed against the wall; to her left was Ying Chanxi's door.

Just then, footsteps sounded at the staircase.

Butler Liu walked up from below, facing the corridor, and saw the scene.

Although Li Luo and Xu Youyu immediately pulled apart upon hearing the footsteps, Butler Liu still caught a glimpse.

But he merely shifted his stance slightly, confirmed the two on the third-floor corridor had separated, then walked up calmly to Li Luo: "The beach is ready. If you need anything else later, just let me know."

"Yeah, cough… my parents should be done changing soon. Could you take them over directly?" Li Luo rubbed his nose to hide his embarrassment. "We'll be a bit later."

"Understood. No problem," Butler Liu nodded and withdrew.

"It's all your fault," Xu Youyu blushed and poked Li Luo. "Someone saw us."

"You were the one who kissed me first…"

"Isn't that because someone was teasing?"

"You're blaming me for that?"

"Hmph." Xu Youyu turned away and walked toward her bedroom. "I'm going to change first."

Watching Xu Youyu's retreating back, Li Luo turned and headed to his own room to change into his swimsuit.

Back in his room, as he slipped on the black swimsuit Ying Chanxi had bought him, he bit his lip, savoring the kisses he'd shared today with Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu.

Honestly, they really were different.

Yan Zhusheng had crescent lips—two thin, curved lips like half-moons, easy to fully cover when kissing.

It gave a sensation of completely swallowing the other person.

Xu Youyu had heart-shaped lips—the upper lip's "M" curve blended softly with the full, tight lower lip, forming a shape like a small peach, offering a deep, satisfying feel.

Each had its own charm.

Thinking of these things, Li Luo quickly put on his swimsuit, threw on a bathrobe, and stepped out of his room, first going to Ying Chanxi's door and knocking.

Soon, the door was opened by Ying Chanxi—but only a narrow crack.

Ying Chanxi stood behind the door, cautiously peering out one small head, timidly gazing at Li Luo outside.

Seeing this, Li Luo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did you change into your swimsuit?"

"Mm… I'm changed…"

"Then… can I come in and apply sunscreen for you?"

Ying Chanxi didn't answer, but looked left and right; once she confirmed no one was in the hallway, she nodded, blushing as she opened the door fully, still hiding behind it, letting Li Luo enter.

Li Luo stepped inside and saw Ying Chanxi close the door.

His gaze landed on her, taking in her cute dead-kushui swimsuit.

After closing the door, Ying Chanxi turned around and met Li Luo's eyes; her hands instantly clenched nervously in front of her small belly, unsure how to cover herself.

Earlier, in the changing room at the swimwear store, the cramped space had forced Li Luo to stand right in front of her, close enough to admire.

But now, in the spacious bedroom, Li Luo could step back two paces and carefully examine Ying Chanxi in her dead-kushui.

She truly suited this swimsuit.

The dark blue top hugged her cute pouch, while the bottom revealed a pair of snow-white, slender legs; her tiny feet, bare in slippers, curled nervously, glistening toes tense.

Everything looked perfect.

As if the swimsuit had been tailor-made for her.

But for Ying Chanxi, the thought of lying face-down on the bed while Li Luo applied sunscreen made her head spin. After letting Li Luo in, she had no idea what to do—her mind buzzed with panic, utterly overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Li Luo was now experienced; he waved her over, and she obediently walked to him, like a puppet entirely under his control.

When Li Luo told her to lie on the bed, she obeyed, pressing her face into the pillow, refusing to look at him again.

"Where's your sunscreen?"

"Mm… on the table."

"Oh, I see."

Li Luo picked up the sunscreen on the table, gazing at Ying Chanxi, sweetly prone on the bed, momentarily dazed.

Then he snapped back, smiled, poured a bit onto his palm, and stood at the foot of the bed, saying, "I'm starting now."

"Mm." Ying Chanxi shut her eyes tightly, heart pounding, nodding softly.

She clearly heard the sound of Li Luo unscrewing the sunscreen cap.

Then came the rubbing sound as he pressed both palms together to warm the cream.

The next second, she felt Li Luo grasp her left ankle.

The cool sunscreen was smeared onto her ankle, then moved upward toward her toes.

Even the cool cream couldn't counteract the warmth of Li Luo's palm.

Feeling his touch, Ying Chanxi's lips parted unconsciously; with her eyes closed, her sense of touch seemed amplified manyfold.

Every stroke made her tremble slightly.

For Li Luo, as he spread the milky-white sunscreen over Ying Chanxi's tiny feet, his gaze grew intensely focused.

Watching her playful, cute toes curl tightly under his touch, then slowly relax when he paused.

When he touched them again, the little feet curled up once more, soft and white—utterly charming.

Especially after the sunscreen was applied, her skin seemed even more dewy, making him want to kiss it.

But Li Luo still kept his sanity, refraining from doing anything perverted.

After finishing both tiny feet, he moved upward along her ankles, applying sunscreen to her calves, thighs, all the way to the deeper areas.

When his hand landed on her firm, rounded buttocks, Ying Chanxi let out a soft whimper, muffled into the pillow, her legs involuntarily clamping shut.

Hearing her stifled moan, Li Luo chuckled, deliberately squeezing a little harder.

Feeling the pressure of his hands, realizing he was truly touching her, Ying Chanxi's face flushed crimson—but she couldn't bring herself to turn and ask him to stop.

Deep inside, she even felt a faint anticipation.

But after finishing, Li Luo didn't continue; instead, he moved to her back, applying sunscreen to the exposed skin near her shoulders.

Once her back was done, he deliberately patted her tiny butt twice, smiling, "Turn over."

"Mm…" Ying Chanxi whispered, obediently rolling over.

But with her turn came her pillow.

So she hugged the pillow tightly, covering her face, letting Li Luo continue applying sunscreen.

But just as Li Luo was diligently working on her thighs, the door opened.

Yan Zhusheng's head peeked in from the hallway; seeing Li Luo and Ying Chanxi, she immediately stepped inside.

"So you're here with Xi Xi."

Hearing Yan Zhusheng's voice, Ying Chanxi instantly flung the pillow off her face, eyes wide as she stared at Yan Zhusheng, then hurriedly blushed and said, "Zhu, Zhu Sheng… how did you come in?"

Dressed in her bathrobe, Yan Zhusheng blinked, matter-of-factly: "After I changed into my swimsuit, I went to Li Luo's room to find him, but he wasn't there, so I came to check on you. Xi Xi, are you done? When you're done, it's my turn."

"Not yet!" Ying Chanxi pulled the pillow back over her face, pretending not to hear, "Can you leave first? I'll have Li Luo come find you later."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded. "Then I'll go back to my room."

Peeking secretly from behind the pillow, seeing Yan Zhusheng truly leave, Ying Chanxi finally exhaled in relief and resumed enjoying Li Luo's private service.

After finishing her thighs, collarbones, and arms, Li Luo reached out, snatched the pillow away, and tossed it aside, laughing, "Close your eyes—I'll put sunscreen on your face too."

"Huh? I can apply it to my face myself."

"Like this?" Li Luo leaned down, bracing his hands on either side, positioning himself directly above Ying Chanxi, whispering, "But I think your future music videos might include kissing scenes on bed—Director Ying, do you want to practice?"

"Mm… this…" Hearing Li Luo say this, Ying Chanxi instantly understood his intentions.

But in truth, she was even more eager than Li Luo himself; though her face showed hesitation, inside she was already screaming, Say yes, say yes, say yes!

So finally, Ying Chanxi reluctantly nodded, said nothing, and closed her eyes willingly, letting Li Luo apply sunscreen to her.

As Li Luo squeezed out the sunscreen and slowly rubbed it onto Ying Chanxi's cheeks.

The closer he got to finishing, the more violently her heartbeat accelerated, her eyes still closed.

As if he might kiss her at any moment.

But in the end, Li Luo did not kiss her.

Instead, after finishing the sunscreen, he clapped his hands: "Done. I'll go see Zhusheng now?"

Hearing this, Ying Chanxi panicked and immediately opened her eyes.

Just as she was about to say something.

A dark shadow suddenly loomed over her, sealing all the words she wanted to speak inside her mouth.

"Mmm…"

Ying Chanxi opened her eyes and saw the amusement in Li Luo's gaze—her cheeks flushed crimson, and she quickly shut them again.

Her hands, which had instinctively risen to push him away, gradually softened, resting on his shoulders, then slowly wrapping around his neck.

From the initial anticipation while applying sunscreen, to the disappointment when he seemed ready to leave, to the sudden surprise of being kissed.

★co

The playful pout when she realized he'd done it on purpose, the ensuing shyness, and finally, the gradual surrender.

Ying Chanxi was completely lost in it, clad in her swimsuit, pinned beneath Li Luo as he lavished her with kisses.

Only when Li Luo finally pulled away did she slowly come back to herself, her lips heaving with heavy breaths; her gaze still hazy, she instinctively lifted her head, puckering her lips, craving another kiss.

Li Luo smiled, leaned down and rewarded her once more, then finally pushed himself up from the bed and rolled off: "If we keep going, Zhusheng will come looking for us again."

"Mm…" Ying Chanxi blinked, watching Li Luo get off the bed, and finally became fully aware.

Realizing what had just happened, her face burned red as she snatched the pillow back, pressing it hard against her face—her muffled voice came through: "Y-You go on. Come back and call me when you're done."

"Alright."

Li Luo responded, turned, and left Ying Chanxi's room, turning left toward Yan Zhusheng's bedroom.

As he walked down the hallway, Li Luo replayed the moment in his mind.

Unlike Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu, Ying Chanxi's lips were more of the pouty type.

Not as thin as Yan Zhusheng's crescent lips, nor as centrally plump as Xu Youyu's peach-heart lips.

Both the sides and center of her upper and lower lips were evenly full, with a beautifully defined cupid's bow.

Even when at rest, the cupid's bow made her lips appear naturally pouted—hence the name "pouty lips."

Such lips made girls seem even more innocent and harmless; even when angry, they looked adorable.

Sealing such an adorable girl's lips and kissing her fiercely brought an indescribable sense of conquest.

It was endlessly evocative.

As Li Luo thought of these things, he arrived at Yan Zhusheng's door and knocked.
