Chapter 435

At the door of Yan Zhusheng's room.

Almost as soon as Li Luo knocked, Yan Zhusheng opened the door.

Li Luo looked at the petite Yan Zhusheng standing before him with suspicion and asked, "You open the door that fast?"

"I've been waiting right by the door," Yan Zhusheng said, blinking, then grabbed Li Luo's hand and pulled him into the room, immediately shutting the door.

The next moment, she casually untied the sash of her bathrobe, and the white fabric slipped instantly to the floor, pooling around her feet.

Underneath, Yan Zhusheng wore a one-piece swimsuit, pale green, with layers of ruffled hemlines like lotus leaves piled atop her upper body.

Even though this person was relatively less endowed compared to the other two girls, the lotus-leaf embellishments effectively masked that slight disadvantage.

Beneath the swimsuit's hem, Yan Zhusheng's long, slender legs—translucently white as snowmelt spring water—were fully exposed, undeniably eye-catching.

One's gaze would land on them and stick, unable to look away.

The leg-lengthening filters popular in post-era beauty apps would be utterly redundant, even absurd, if applied to Yan Zhusheng.

As Li Luo thought this, Yan Zhusheng had already lain face-down on the bed, turning her head to look at him.

"Where's your sunscreen?"

"I didn't bring any."

"... Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Aren't you the one who has it?"

"Wait a second," Li Luo said, exasperated, and hurried back to his room to fetch the sunscreen Ying Chanxi had given him.

Returning to Yan Zhusheng's room, Li Luo stood by the bed, staring at the golden-proportioned legs before him, reluctant to begin.

But under Yan Zhusheng's urging, he squeezed sunscreen onto his palm and began gently rubbing it along her ankles.

Result...

"Mmm... hmm..."

"Hmm~"

"Ah... hnn..."

"Wait," Li Luo stopped his hands, staring at Yan Zhusheng in disbelief, and patted her small butt. "I'm not even pressing hard—I'm just applying sunscreen. Why are you making all those noises?"

"Mmm..." Yan Zhusheng's voice sounded soft and limp. "But... I just can't help it..."

"Is it really that extreme?" Li Luo frowned, repeating the same motion—and Yan Zhusheng let out another soft whimper. "You're way too sensitive. Maybe you should just do it yourself?"

"No," Yan Zhusheng gently shook her long legs, her voice tinged with childish poutiness. "Keep going."

"Then hold it in."

"Mm, I'll hold it in."

Following Yan Zhusheng's wishes, Li Luo continued applying the sunscreen.

This time, Yan Zhusheng truly held back—though he occasionally heard her heavier breathing.

By the time he reached her small buttocks, he could clearly feel her slight trembling.

Li Luo had once thought Yan Zhusheng, who always went straight for the point, was a true powerhouse—only to discover now she was a total rookie.

Just two touches and she was like this—what would happen later?

Li Luo looked at her with amusement, patted her butt to flip her over, and resumed admiring her flawless legs from the front.

Admittedly, Xu Youyu's and Ying Chanxi's legs were also beautiful—but beside Yan Zhusheng's, they seemed pale in comparison.

For some reason, only Yan Zhusheng's legs—no matter how you posed them or from what angle you viewed them—were always breathtakingly beautiful, irresistible to admire.

Finally, seeing Yan Zhusheng's flushed face and unable to suppress her soft whimpers, Li Luo stopped his hands and ended the sunscreen application.

As soon as Li Luo finished, Yan Zhusheng scrambled off the bed and hurried toward the bathroom: "Go find Senior Sister first—I—I need to use the restroom."

Saying that, she shut the bathroom door.

Watching Yan Zhusheng's hurried back, Li Luo's expression turned peculiar.

But he didn't dwell on it; seeing her enter the bathroom, he rose and walked toward Xu Youyu's room.

"You're here?"

Hearing the knock, Xu Youyu opened the door, smiled, and winked at Li Luo. "How's it feel touching the two little sisters' bodies?"

"... Don't ask questions like that."

"Just applying sunscreen took nearly twenty minutes," Xu Youyu glanced at the time and chuckled. "What brand of sunscreen are you using?"

"You'd have to ask Xi Xi—I don't even know what brand she bought," Li Luo said without blinking.

"Hmph, come in," Xu Youyu turned and walked inside, tossing her own bottle of sunscreen into Li Luo's hands, then lay face-down on the bed, smiling sweetly. "We've got great chemistry by now—just go ahead."

Around two in the afternoon, they went upstairs to change into swimsuits.

It wasn't until nearly half past two that Li Luo finally emerged from Xu Youyu's room.

The four gathered in Li Luo's room; Xu Youyu, still with a rosy flush from the sunscreen, smiled. "Now only one person hasn't had sunscreen applied yet."

"I'll apply it for Li Luo," Yan Zhusheng volunteered immediately, raising her hand.

"Then I'll help too," Xu Youyu grinned, glancing at Ying Chanxi. "Xi Xi, want to join? Three of us can save a lot of time."

Li Luo: "... Couldn't you at least ask my opinion first?"

"What opinion could you possibly have?" Xu Youyu rolled her eyes, grabbed Li Luo's shoulders, spun him around to face the bed, and pushed him onto it.

Beside him, Yan Zhusheng had already pulled off his bathrobe.

Xu Youyu then effortlessly pushed the bare-bodied Li Luo onto the bed, face-down, and turned to Ying Chanxi: "Xi Xi, bring the sunscreen from the table."

Ying Chanxi blushed slightly as she brought the sunscreen, gazing at Li Luo lying on the bed, her expression clearly intrigued.

Xu Youyu took it without hesitation, squeezed a bit onto Yan Zhusheng's palm, then a bit onto Ying Chanxi's, and finally onto her own.

"Yan Zhusheng and I each take one leg—Xi Xi, you rub his back."

After assigning the task, the three girls climbed onto the bed and began diligently working on Li Luo.

At that moment, Li Luo, lying on the bed, had originally thought this would feel much like when Xu Youyu had previously applied sunscreen to him alone.

But when the six small hands of the three girls began stroking and gliding over his body, Li Luo realized it was completely different.

That strange sensation was truly impossible to describe in words.

Especially since their hands were all different.

Yan Zhusheng's hands were long and slender, with prominent bones, making them feel relatively smooth against Li Luo's legs.

In contrast, Xu Youyu's hands were softer and more fleshy, feeling plush as they touched him.

Ying Chanxi's hands fell between the two, but because they were especially tiny and she had applied sunscreen with particular care, they gave Li Luo a distinct sensation.

This led to… when the three girls finished applying sunscreen to his back and Xu Youyu patted his buttocks to tell him to turn over, Li Luo felt a bit embarrassed.

"Cough… maybe I should apply the sunscreen to the front myself? You all go play on the beach first?" Li Luo said awkwardly. "I'll join you once I'm done."

"What's there to be shy about?" Xu Youyu chuckled. She knew exactly what was going on with Li Luo. "You've seen it before, haven't you?"

Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi were no longer naive little girls.

Under the influence of someone's novels, even Ying Chanxi now understood what was happening to Li Luo.

If only one of the three girls had been here alone, Li Luo wouldn't have felt this embarrassed.

But with all three present, Li Luo felt a pang of shame.

Still, under the persistent tugging of Xu Youyu and Yan Zhusheng, Li Luo was flipped onto his back, resignedly lying face-up toward the ceiling, eyes closed, accepting reality.

Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng's faces flushed slightly.

Yan Zhusheng was especially curious.

"Hey hey hey!" Li Luo suddenly opened his eyes. "Just apply the sunscreen properly—don't touch randomly, okay?"

Ying Chanxi glanced over, then looked at Yan Zhusheng across from her, envious of her boldness and naturalness. Though she too was curious about the texture, she didn't dare reach out to touch—she only dared sneak glances.

…

Finally, after Li Luo had finished applying sunscreen, he rose from the bed, let out a long breath, and quickly grabbed his bathrobe to wrap around himself, heading toward the room's exit.

"Let's go, let's go—head to the beach!"

"Wait," Ying Chanxi hurried after him. "I need to bring my camera. You carry the tripod—I want to record some footage while I'm at it."

"Alright."

The four of them took Ying Chanxi's filming equipment and finally descended from the third floor, guided by the maid toward the beach.

At that moment, the private beach.

Four sunshades were arranged in a square, with eight loungers beneath them; tables held drinks, fruit, and snacks, available for anyone to take.

Beside them were various tools for playing in the sand, and directly ahead, a large net—alongside several volleyballs, clearly meant for beach volleyball.

But as Li Luo and the others stepped out of the villa and strolled beneath the sunshades, they discovered only Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling were lying there resting.

Their fathers were nowhere to be seen.

Gazing out at the sea, they could see only a yacht—no figures visible.

"Where are Dad and Uncle Xu?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"Over there," Lin Xiuhong nodded toward the distant yacht. "Butler Liu said he could arrange deep-sea fishing, so they eagerly went along. They're probably fishing out there now."

Li Luo laughed: "No wonder they disappeared—why didn't they call me? I've never tried deep-sea fishing before."

"Hmph, I don't know what you're all doing," Lin Xiuhong couldn't help complaining. "It takes you half an hour just to change swimsuits."

"You'll have to ask them," Li Luo said innocently. "I changed my swim trunks in seconds."

"Li Luo applied sunscreen for me," Yan Zhusheng said plainly beside him.

"Huh?"

Not only Lin Xiuhong, but even Cui Suling stared over in surprise.

But Yan Zhusheng quickly added: "He applied it to Chanxi and Senior too."

Li Luo: "…I just helped with spots they couldn't reach."

Sensing Li Luo's desperate need to survive, Xu Youyu coughed twice and changed the subject: "Are you just lying here? Why not go play in the water?"

"We've already been swimming. Now we're resting," Cui Suling said comfortably, stretching out to grab a drink, sucking through the straw with satisfaction. "Go ahead and play—you don't need to worry about us."

"Then let's go," Xu Youyu grabbed Yan Zhusheng's hand and headed toward the sea first, to prevent Yan Zhusheng from saying anything more strange.

Li Luo and Ying Chanxi hurried after them, and the four reached the shoreline.

"Let's shoot some footage first," Li Luo said to Ying Chanxi. "Then we'll play by the sea, and after that, how about some beach volleyball?"

"Sure, let me check," Ying Chanxi held her camera, looked around, found an angle she liked, pulled Li Luo over, set up the tripod on the sand, confirmed it was stable, then mounted the camera.

Xu Youyu and Yan Zhusheng also curiously gathered nearby, wanting to see how they'd film.

With two good friends watching closely and two aunts not far off, Ying Chanxi certainly wouldn't dare add any dramatic flair.

So after choosing the angle, she told Li Luo: "Walk from left to right, stepping on the waves. Don't do anything else."

"And what about you?" Li Luo asked.

"I'll film a solo shot first, then one together," Ying Chanxi said. "Then I'll follow beside you, and we'll chase and play on the sand, creating the feeling that we're on a romantic beach date."

"So when does the male lead cheat?" Xu Youyu asked from the side. "Give me some scenes too."

Ying Chanxi: "…"

"What about me? What about me?" Yan Zhusheng asked. "I want to go on a date and fall in love with Li Luo too."

Ying Chanxi: "…"

"Enough, enough—stop interrupting," Li Luo waved his hands. "Follow Director Ying's instructions, or I'll blacklist you both."

"Wow~ Scary," Xu Youyu laughed.

"Director Ying," Yan Zhusheng clung to Ying Chanxi's arm, rubbing against her. "I'm so well-behaved—give me more scenes, please."

"We'll talk about this later."

"Oh."

The two troublemakers finally moved aside and began watching the show.

Li Luo followed Ying Chanxi's instructions and walked from the left side of the frame to the right.

In the camera's shot, slanted sunlight fell upon the sea, and Li Luo stepped through the waves, his body half above the waterline.

A yacht passed by beside his face.

After recording this segment, Li Luo walked through it again.

This time, however, Ying Chanxi joined him.

The two walked briskly along the beach, stepping through the waves, laughing and chatting, sometimes holding hands as they strolled, sometimes chasing and playfully wrestling.

Then Ying Chanxi misstepped, her foot slipping, and she toppled backward, about to fall.

Fortunately, Li Luo reacted quickly, lunging forward and catching her as they both tumbled onto the sand.

Ying Chanxi was momentarily stunned, then looked at Li Luo; the two lay on the beach as the tide receded, then rushed back with a whoosh-whoosh-whoosh.

They quickly sat up, exchanged glances, saw the mud smudges on each other's faces, and burst into laughter.

Back at the camera, Ying Chanxi reviewed the footage and thought the accident was perfect, deciding to keep the clip.

Beneath the sunshade, Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling chatted and laughed while sunbathing.

Then Cui Suling saw Li Luo and Ying Chanxi holding hands and hugging by the sea, and her heart skipped a beat; she couldn't help asking, "What's going on between Xixi and Li Luo?"

"They're filming a music video," Lin Xiuhong said, pointing to the camera nearby with a smile. "Xixi's really something—even when she's on vacation, she can't stop filming this stuff for Li Luo."

"Yeah, yeah," Cui Suling forced a smile and nodded, then her gaze fell on Xu Youyu beside the camera, and she clicked her tongue, her eyes tinged with exasperation.

After Li Luo and Ying Chanxi finished their scenes, it was Yan Zhusheng's turn.

Under Ying Chanxi's direction, a beach scene was added to Yan Zhusheng's "Sun" music video, requiring him and Li Luo to film together.

So Cui Suling and Lin Xiuhong watched as Li Luo returned to the shore, stepping through the waves, with Yan Zhusheng following behind him.

The two walked along the shore, sometimes holding hands, sometimes chasing each other—similar to what had just happened with Ying Chanxi.

But just as Cui Suling thought that was all, Yan Zhusheng suddenly threw himself into Li Luo's arms and kissed him.

"Oh my!" Cui Suling gasped in shock, "How did they just kiss?!"

"Huh?" Lin Xiuhong had just taken a sip of her drink and quickly followed Cui Suling's gaze—she saw Yan Zhusheng's back as he threw himself into Li Luo's arms.

But from their angle, they could only see the two embracing, so Lin Xiuhong patted Cui Suling's shoulder and hurriedly said, "It's a trick shot—there's no way they actually kissed, it just looks like it. Didn't Xixi and Li Luo do the same thing in their MV?"

"Oh… right," Cui Suling said, convinced by Lin Xiuhong's explanation; she realized she'd overreacted.

Still, the image of Yan Zhusheng kissing Li Luo in his arms left her feeling uneasy.

"Zhusheng… didn't I say there was no kissing scene?" Ying Chanxi said, watching them return, her expression complicated. "Why did you suddenly kiss him?"

"I didn't kiss him," Yan Zhusheng said seriously. "It was a trick shot."

"Really?" Ying Chanxi frowned, skeptical.

But from the angle they'd filmed, it was impossible to tell whether the kiss had been real.

So Ying Chanxi comforted herself, thinking that with Lin Yi and Aunt Cui watching from afar, Yan Zhusheng wouldn't dare act so recklessly.

But beside her, Xu Youyu quietly sidled up to Li Luo, reached out, and grabbed something—then chuckled.

Whether it was real or fake, wasn't one touch enough to know?

Zhusheng is really mischievous.
