In short, it was utterly humiliating!
"If you don't want to help, then don't." Amamiya Natsuki shifted a little to the side. "I need sunscreen too. Which of you will help me put it on?"
Zhuzhu lay facedown on the beach towel and turned her head to look over.
"Ask Haimeng-chan to do it for you."

Smack!
Zhuzhu slapped Amamiya Natsuki on the back, the sharp sound making her blurt out,
