Sparkle, Passion, and a Show of Affection!
The midday sun shone through the hotel restaurant's huge floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the long table covered with a pristine white tablecloth.
Lin Hai, Sparkle, and Fu Xuan sat facing each other, the atmosphere subtle and ambiguous.
The waiter respectfully handed over the menu.
Sparkle glanced at the menu and smiled as she checked off a series of dishes.
Pan-fried foie gras with figs.
Black truffle cream of mushroom soup.
And your hotel's signature steak.
Lin Hai was much more casual, adding, "Give me the same thing she ordered, and also, open a bottle of smooth red wine."
Drinking means he doesn't plan to drive home today.
Of course, with his current abilities, he doesn't need to drive; he can easily carry the car on his shoulder.
Even if we take a step back and say the worst, no one can stop him!
Fu Xuan's gaze lingered on the menu.
"A vegetable salad with vinaigrette, and a pan-fried sea bass as the main course, something light and simple, thank you."
She handed the menu back to the waiter with an elegant demeanor, a stark contrast to Sparkle's casualness.
While waiting for the food to be served, Sparkle became restless.
She turned to the side, almost leaning against Lin Hai's arm, and gently poked at the small bread rolls in the bread basket with her fork. She took a bite herself and then offered one to Lin Hai so that he could take a bite as well.
Lin Hai seemed to be used to it, calmly lowering his head to eat, a hint of indulgent smile playing on his lips.
Is it delicious?
Sparkle blinked her big eyes and asked, her voice sickeningly sweet.
"Of course it tastes good if you feed it to me."
Lin Hai responded cooperatively.
Fu Xuan picked up his water glass, took a sip silently, and looked out the window, trying to ignore the intimate scene across from him that seemed oblivious to everyone else.
The dishes were served one after another.
Sparkle cut a small piece of the juicy steak from her own plate, but instead of eating it herself, she offered it to Lin Hai's lips again.
"Try mine, it tastes even better cooked than last time!"
Lin Hai opened his mouth to take it, chewed it slowly, and nodded in approval.
At the same time, his right hand, which had been resting on the table, was raised naturally, and his fingertips gently brushed against Sparkle's sensitive and delicate earlobe.
It carries a relaxed intimacy, as if it were a precious item worth appreciating.
Sparkle seemed to have been tickled, and she shrank her neck and laughed. Instead of dodging, she tilted her head slightly like a cat being stroked, offering more of her earlobe skin to his fingertips.
She glanced at him with a seductive look.
That's not enough.
Lin Hai's fingertips lingered for a moment, then slowly slid down along the curve of her smooth cheek, gently caressing her delicate skin with the back of his fingers.
His gaze remained focused and appreciative, as if he were admiring a masterpiece of art.
The Sparkle were absolutely wonderful.
This public display of affection made her squint slightly, nuzzle her cheek against his fingers, and let out a satisfied hum.
All of this was clearly seen by Fu Xuan on the other side.
Her fingers tightened slightly as she gripped the fork, feeling as if an invisible barrier, filled with pink bubbles, had formed around the two people opposite her, completely isolating her from them.
The undisguised flirting, the possessive touches, and the almost overflowing happiness emanating from Sparkle all seemed like a silent declaration.
Fu Xuan's cheeks flushed uncontrollably, the blush spreading all the way to his ears.
She lowered her head, pretending to be focused on cutting the sea bass on the plate, as if the fish required a great deal of effort to cut.
Her eating movements became somewhat stiff, she chewed with extra care, her gaze fixed on her plate, resolutely refusing to glance at the person opposite her.
She felt that the restaurant's air conditioning was on too high, making her inexplicably hot.
For Fu Xuan, this lunch felt unusually long.
Lunch ended in a subtle atmosphere.
As soon as the waiter cleared away the tableware, Sparkle enthusiastically suggested:
"The heated pool here is amazing! We're free this afternoon anyway, how about we go for a swim?"
As she spoke, her gaze was mainly fixed on Fu Xuan.
Lin Hai shrugged indifferently, indicating that it was nothing to do.
Fu Xuan wanted to politely decline, as she wasn't used to this kind of overly casual socializing, especially with two people with such a delicate relationship.
But on second thought, this might be an opportunity to observe the Lin Hai and Sparkle up close.
Fu Xuan wanted to see Lin Hai's true nature when he was relaxed.
She hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright."
The three got up and headed to the pool area.
Lin Hai walked straight to the men's locker room.
Sparkle then affectionately took Fu Xuan's arm and led her into the women's changing area.
The changing room was well-heated and softly lit.
Sparkle unzipped the side of her skirt, revealing a smooth, white, and dazzling jade underneath.
She even twirled halfway in front of the huge mirror, admiring the curves of her waist and hips, before finally picking up a black bikini and putting it on.
His movements were natural and graceful, radiating confidence.
Fu Xuan's movements, however, appeared much more restrained.
With her back to the Sparkle, she meticulously untied the sash of the Xianzhou -style robe.
She also has a good figure, with well-proportioned proportions and skin as smooth as porcelain, but her temperament is completely different from the Sparkle and hot Hanabi, appearing more aloof and reserved.
Fu Xuan chose a relatively conservative dark blue one-piece swimsuit.
Despite its simple design, it accentuated her slender waist and legs.
She could feel the admiring and appraising gaze that Sparkle was casting.
This made Fu Xuan slightly uncomfortable, so he quickened his pace of changing clothes.
When the two of them changed into their swimsuits and walked out of the locker room, Lin Hai was already waiting by the pool.
He was wearing only black swim trunks, which revealed his tall and slender figure. His muscles were not bulging, but they contained a restrained yet powerful sense of strength.
His gaze swept over the two strikingly different beauties walking side by side, his eyes filled with admiration.
Sparkle, like a nimble fish, leaped into the pool first, splashing water everywhere.
She swam to the edge of the pool and reached out her hand to Lin Hai:
"Come down quickly!"
Lin Hai smiled and stepped into the pool.
Sparkle immediately wrapped around it like an octopus.
The pool water rippled and shimmered, reflecting the two figures pressed closely together.
"Is the water temperature comfortable?"
Sparkle tilted her head back and asked with a grin.
"Um."
Lin Hai responded softly.
Sparkle, taking advantage of the situation, brought her red lips closer, her intention to kiss him couldn't be clearer.
Lin Hai readily complied, lowered his head, and captured her lips.
Sparkle responded enthusiastically, even with a hint of provocation.
The water rippled gently with their movements, making ambiguous sounds.
They kissed so passionately, so lost in the moment, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
Fu Xuan stood alone at the other end of the pool, the warm water reaching above her chest.
She originally wanted to swim away and keep her distance, but her gaze was drawn to the couple as if by a magnet, unable to look away.
A passionate kiss.
That possessiveness that permeated the air...
All of this was like a silent storm, assaulting Fu Xuan's senses.
She saw the almost intoxicated expression on Sparkle's face, completely immersed in Elation.
Seeing the focused, intensely aggressive yet doting gaze in Lin Hai's eyes.
An extremely unfamiliar and subtle emotion, like a bubble quietly rising from the bottom of the water, gently touched the walls of Fu Xuan's heart.
It was a faint longing, one that she herself tried to deny...
Fu Xuan quickly looked away and submerged into the water, trying to cool his inexplicably hot cheeks with the slightly cool pool water.
The image lingered in my mind.
She suddenly realized that, standing in this water that should have been relaxing, she felt like a complete bystander.
They were isolated from that overwhelming intimacy.
An indescribable sense of loneliness, mixed with a hint of longing, quietly spread through her heart.
Fu Xuan silently swam, moving his arms towards a more distant corner, his figure appearing somewhat slender in the wide pool.
