"Mo Yuan! You bastard!"
Gu Yue finally struggled to the surface of the Lake of Life. Covering her swollen lips, she glared at him.
"Well, look who's saying one thing and doing another. Who was so eager just now?"
Mo Yuan floated on the water, smiling at Gu Yue.
Her gauzy dress had been thin to begin with. Now that it was wet, it clung to every inch of her body, accentuating her slender curves.
More to the point, the wet white fabric was practically transparent.
Gu Yue realized she was exposed and hurriedly sank back into the water until only her head remained above the surface.
"You... you pervert!"
"Come on, I'm in the same boat. I'm not stopping you from looking, am I? That makes us even."
Mo Yuan spread his arms, giving Gu Yue an unobstructed view.
"That... that's not the same! You're a boy, and I'm a girl..." Gu Yue stammered. Despite her protests, her eyes stayed fixed on Mo Yuan. She couldn't look away.
Wow... he's so handsome!
Hearing Na'er gush inside her head, Gu Yue bit her lip and scolded her inwardly. Na'er, can you show a little restraint?
Oh, come on. You're looking too, aren't you? You just won't admit it, Na'er said dismissively.
Na'er's words stirred something in Gu Yue, and her gaze on Mo Yuan grew heated.
She didn't know why, but her heart had been in turmoil lately. Ever since Mo Yuan had scolded her that day, looking at him brought blush-inducing images to mind.
No, no. Gu Yue, how can you sink so low? she warned herself.
At last, after a tremendous effort, she forced herself to calm down.
But that day's desire had taken root deep in her heart.
"So what are you going to do next?"
