Chapter 827

In the pool.

In the end, Li Luo couldn't resist Yan Zhusheng's stubbornness and reluctantly complied with her request, using both hands.

But still…

The texture just wasn't as good as Xu Youyu's or Ying Chanxi's.

Chanxi may be petite, but she's certainly not lacking—soft, bouncy, perfectly cupped in one hand, utterly irresistible.

Xu Youyu, on the other hand, is entirely beyond a single hand's grasp—filling it completely the moment you clutch, uniquely intoxicating.

As for Zhusheng…

Only fingers can manage it.

Though she does have some curve, it's hard to match the natural contour of the palm.

Compared to that, her long legs and slender waist are far more alluring.

Li Luo's favorite was hugging Yan Zhusheng from behind, arms wrapped around her slim waist, occasionally tracing downward over her smooth, Bai Xi thighs.

Fortunately, Yan Zhusheng didn't press further, letting Li Luo give just a token touch before releasing him.

The four of them soaked in the hot spring pool a while longer, then, after eating and drinking their fill, Li Luo said, "Too long in the water isn't good. Let's get out now."

"Then let's go," Xu Youyu said, leading the way with an eager expression. "Go shower, then change clothes."

Saying that, Xu Youyu stepped down the pool steps, wrapped herself in a towel, and immediately pulled on a down jacket.

The others followed suit, rushing into the rooftop entrance and quickly entering the indoor area with heated air conditioning, avoiding any chill.

Originally, Li Luo had thought that since they were going to shower, they'd all have to go together.

But as he was still daydreaming about it, when they actually reached the third floor, Ying Chanxi and the others each headed straight to their own bedrooms.

Seeing this, Li Luo's eyes darted, and he followed Xu Youyu forward.

But Xu Youyu pressed her palm against his chest, smiling mischievously as she said, "What are you planning? So eager?"

"Cough… let's shower together," Li Luo said boldly.

"I already told you—today, you follow our plan," Xu Youyu gently pushed his chest, winking at him with suggestive warmth, then turned and walked into her bedroom. "Just go change quickly. Oh, and wear something loose."

Li Luo watched Xu Youyu close her bedroom door, then turned to Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi.

"No way," Yan Zhusheng noticed his gaze and immediately dashed into her room, poking her head out to say, "I already promised the senior."

"Don't even think about sneaking over from the closet side," Ying Chanxi said, eyes wary and cheeks slightly flushed. "Changing won't take long—you just go downstairs and wait for us."

"Alright," Li Luo said, seeing how mysteriously the three of them were acting, and resigned himself, returning obediently to his master bedroom with anticipation.

Boys change clothes quickly.

After showering, Li Luo changed into loose clothing as Xu Youyu had instructed.

After some thought, he decided not to wear underwear at all, slipping on only a very loose pair of pajama pants and a top before stepping out.

Seeing all three girls' bedroom doors still tightly shut, Li Luo didn't dwell on it, took the elevator down to the first floor.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Butler Liu quietly waiting in the living room.

"What's this?" Li Luo noticed the coffee table had been pushed near the staircase, and even the sofa had been repositioned.

A large open space now lay between the living room sofa and the TV.

Lying motionless on the floor was a rolled-up carpet, its pattern invisible.

"It was Miss Youyu's instruction," Butler Liu smiled. "She said you must not unroll the carpet until the three ladies come downstairs—just wait quietly on the sofa."

"Oh, by the way."

"The kitchen has already prepared the dinner ingredients."

"When the three ladies are ready to come down, I'll dismiss everyone else in the villa."

"I'll leave too. If you need anything, just message me on WeChat."

After hearing this, Li Luo raised an eyebrow. "This is also Youyu's arrangement?"

"Yes," Butler Liu replied with the same smile. "The three ladies have worked hard to create a beautiful memory for your birthday. Enjoy yourself today."

"Alright," Li Luo chuckled, walking over to the sofa and sitting down. He stopped overthinking, stretched his arms along the backrest, and yawned. "Then you and the others can leave now. You've all worked hard today."

"It's my duty," Butler Liu bowed slightly. "I'll inform the cleaning lady and leave right away."

After Butler Liu left, Li Luo, bored, turned on the living room TV and flipped aimlessly through channels.

Fortunately, Xu Youyu and the others didn't keep him waiting long—soon, his phone vibrated.

The caller ID showed Xu Youyu.

"Hello? What's up?" Li Luo answered, puzzled. "If you're done changing, just come down."

"That won't do," Xu Youyu giggled. "Is Butler Liu still here?"

"I sent him off," Li Luo said. "Didn't you plan for him to leave anyway?"

"Alright," Xu Youyu said on the other end. "Then the next steps are up to you—no cheating."

"What kind of trick are you pulling now?" Li Luo laughed.

"Nothing much," Xu Youyu chuckled. "The coffee table's been moved aside, right? Go to the drawer beside it and find an eye mask. Put it on."

"Let me check," Li Luo stood, walked over, opened the drawer, and quickly found a blackout eye mask.

He returned to the sofa, placed the mask on his forehead, then said, "I'll put it on now—then you'll come down, right?"

"Exactly~" Xu Youyu hummed. "Once we come down, you must not remove the mask until we say so."

"Alright, alright," Li Luo laughed, fully securing the mask and holding up his phone. "I've got it on. Come down."

"Okok~ We're coming down now—don't peek," Xu Youyu laughed happily, then hung up.

Li Luo set his phone aside. With sight gone, his hearing sharpened.

He could even hear the elevator moving.

Still, compared to others, Li Luo adapted quickly to the eye mask.

After all, with the Memory Palace at his disposal, even if he kept his eyes shut the whole time, he could move freely around the house without worrying about bumping into anything.

Soon, the sound of the elevator doors opening came from the first-floor elevator entrance.

Li Luo faintly heard three girls whispering to each other, though he couldn't make out what they were saying.

Their footsteps were light, making Li Luo frown slightly: "Aren't you wearing shoes?"

"H-How did you know?" Ying Chanxi's surprised voice rang out.

"I could tell from the sound of your footsteps," Li Luo said with a smile. "It's muffled—not like slippers."

"You're pretty smart," Xu Youyu said, having already leaned close to Li Luo.

A few strands of hair fell down, brushing across Li Luo's cheek, tickling him.

Li Luo instinctively raised his hand to touch it, but Xu Youyu pressed both his hands down.

"Hey hey hey, no touching," Xu Youyu said with a grin. "Let's play a little game first. If you win, I'll give you a reward later—how about it?"

Not only was Li Luo's face tickled by the hair strands, but now his heart was tickling too.
