"Splish, splash~"
The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Through the hazy glass, one could vaguely make out the figure of a young woman in the bathtub, stirring up splashes as she washed herself.
Tiny droplets of mist gathered into beads on the glass, and the hazy scene carried a mysterious allure.
Li Yang, who had finished showering first, lay on the bed and kept staring at the bathroom glass.
After a while, the figure in the bathtub stood up and began drying herself and blowing her hair dry.
By the time she had dried her hair and changed clothes, he had already walked to the bathroom door.
Not long afterward, the bathroom door opened, revealing Chen Qian in a camisole nightdress and short skirt. Her exquisite collarbones, snow-white shoulders, and tender legs appeared before his eyes. Li Yang licked his lips and pounced straight at her.
"Brother Yang~"
Chen Qian's somewhat bashful call rang out. Her eyes narrowed as his two hands roamed over her. "Wait a little, Brother Yang~"
"The view outside is so beautiful. Don't you want to see the seaside at night?"
Li Yang held Chen Qian from behind with both arms, covering all her ample curves. Peeking out over her shoulder, he kissed from the edge of her lips to her ear and whispered with warm breath.
"Ah, can't we just lie in bed and sleep?"
Chen Qian opened her mouth and spoke pitifully, but Li Yang showed no mercy. Holding her, he took her to the large floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, where they stood and looked down at the night view.
They had come up after dinner, but it was still only a little past eight. Many seaside barbecue stalls and food stands had lit their lamps. Numerous strips of lights glowed on the beach, while searchlights swept across it and illuminated the shore.
Many beautiful women in skimpy bikinis, exposing large expanses of snow-white skin, were also walking together along the beach, chatting and laughing.
Some people were even surfing by the sea under the lights.
There were also plenty of lights beneath the rows of coconut trees beside the beach. Under the white illumination, the leaves looked exceptionally beautiful.
Chen Qian stayed in Li Yang's arms at the window for a while. At his suggestion, she tried bracing both hands against the dining table by the window to look at the night view.
Chen Qian was a little timid and not very used to it. Behind her, Li Yang kept giving her deep encouragement, granting her greater courage to take in the high-altitude night view.
Fortunately, the courage Li Yang gave her held firm. With his constant encouragement, Chen Qian persevered and continued looking out from the window.
For a time, the tranquil air around them brought healing to their souls.
More than ten minutes passed...
"Ring, ring, ring..."
A hurried ringtone suddenly intruded upon the quiet space, bringing a different atmosphere. Li Yang frowned and picked up the phone from the table, somewhat puzzled.
"An unknown number?"
Li Yang instinctively wanted to hang up, but then he thought that taking a call while admiring the night view by the window seemed even more atmospheric. The satisfaction of a successful man seemed all the more complete.
So he signaled for Chen Qian to keep quiet and swiped the answer button.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Li Yang calmly greeted the unknown caller first, but to his surprise, a furious roar suddenly came from the other end.
"Li Yang, tell me, what are you doing? What are you doing? What the hell are you trying to do?!"
The roar instantly told Li Yang who it was. He frowned, moved the phone away from his ear, then turned on speakerphone and placed it on the table beside him.
"What I'm doing is none of your business. If you have something to say, say it. I'm very busy."
Li Yang glanced at Chen Qian's back as she held onto the table and peered downward. A smile touched the corner of his mouth as he spoke calmly.
"Why did you block my phone number and WeChat? Are you..."
A stream of filthy abuse came from the other end, making Li Yang frown.
She had only just noticed she had been blocked?
As expected, her brain really wasn't up to much.
Still, the seaside night view had put Li Yang in a good mood. He didn't mind patiently communicating with her for an hour or two, so he didn't hang up and simply let her keep talking.
"You're finished. I'm telling you, you're completely finished from now on..."
"You actually dared to block my contact information. Don't even think about returning to Heyang..."
"I'll make sure you can't live or die in peace... Pay me fifty thousand yuan in emotional-distress compensation..."
"I'm going to expose you across the entire internet..."
The threats made Li Yang frown deeply. Fortunately, gentle Chen Qian embraced and soothed his heart, allowing him to grow ever more valiant amid the barrage of stormy, idiotic words.
At last, after who knew how long, Liu Lili's mouth grew sore. Under Chen Qian's gentle comfort, Li Yang suddenly erupted.
"Fucking idiot."
After Liu Lili paused for a moment because her mouth was sore, Li Yang offered her that simple greeting, hung up directly, and blocked her.
"I can't believe we both ended up running into such a bizarre person."
Li Yang grumbled, then considerately pulled the exhausted Chen Qian into his arms after she had spent so long comforting and soothing him. "Luckily, I cut through the mess swiftly and took you with me to escape. Otherwise, we'd have suffered plenty in the days ahead."
"We've been looking at the view for so long. You're tired, right, sweetheart? Let's go rest on the bed."
Li Yang spoke gently to the exhausted Chen Qian, then carried her to the bed with a beaming smile so they could rest.
"Playing by the sea was tiring enough. You started fooling around again right after showering. How could I not be tired?"
Chen Qian lay comfortably in Li Yang's arms, feeling relaxed all over. She held Li Yang's head, looked at his handsome face, and smiled involuntarily before giving his lips a quick kiss. Unexpectedly, one of the hands he had been kneading over her backside suddenly came free and wrapped around the back of her head, pulling her into a fierce kiss.
Chen Qian was kissed until she couldn't speak. Only after her lips had grown sore did she pat Li Yang's shoulder and make him let go.
"Smack~"
"You're awful, you bad brother. I'm not talking to you anymore."
Li Yang deliberately made a loud smacking sound. Chen Qian pouted and buried her head against his chest in protest, refusing to look at him. Li Yang chuckled, then could only move his hand lower.
After a while...
"Come on, let's wash up in the bathroom before sleeping."
Chen Qian was a little sleepy. She pulled Li Yang up from the bed and, refusing to take no for an answer, brought him along to wash up again.
After a while, by the time it was ten-thirty, the two of them finally lay down on the bed and settled in comfortably.
"Brother Yang, what are you looking at?"
Chen Qian, who had been playing while nestled against Li Yang's chest, suddenly noticed that he had taken his hand off her. Curious, she lifted her face from his chest and saw him browsing something on his phone. She moved upward curiously, turned around, pressed her cheek against Li Yang's, and looked at the phone screen with him.
"East District detached villa with a yard, 3.6 million yuan, parking space included..."
"I'm looking at houses in Heyang. What do you think of this villa?"
After Chen Qian got a clear look at the villa, her eyes curved into a smile. Li Yang took the opportunity to free one hand, pull Chen Qian's chest closer into his embrace, and hold up the phone for her to see as he asked.
