Summer's Clear Sky

Day three at the resort.

After last night's spectacular fireworks display, the entire private beach appeared exceptionally gentle and tranquil in the morning sea breeze.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, a series of light footsteps could be heard from the dressing room.

"A-Yan, take a look at this outfit, what do you think?"

As the camphor wood door was pushed open, Aemeath walked briskly and jogged up behind Lu Yan was standing on the terrace tidying up his beach towels.

Lu Yan turned his head upon hearing the sound, and his gaze softened involuntarily the moment it fell upon Aemeath.

This is the last swimsuit they brought on this vacation.

Unlike the aggressive and wild black bikini on the first day, and unlike the pure yet alluring white high-slit bodysuit on the second day that perfectly accentuated her curves, this swimsuit in front of me takes sweetness to the extreme.

The swimsuit is predominantly light pink, adorned with layers of lace ruffles on the chest and hem.

The soft fabric clung perfectly to her skin, and the pink color accentuated her already fair complexion, giving it a delicate cherry blossom pink hue.

The layers of lace ruffles swayed slightly with her movements, not only subtly accentuating her figure but also adding a touch of innocent playfulness, like a fairytale princess.

Her signature long pink hair was braided into a side braid today, with the end tied with a ribbon of the same color, draped over her smooth shoulder.

Aemeath held up the lace edges of her skirt with both hands and twirled in front of Lu Yan, like a pink butterfly fluttering in the air.

She slightly raised her chin, her eyes filled with anticipation. "How is it? How is it? Isn't it completely different from the style of the past two days?"

Lu Yan looked at her, a smile gradually spreading across his face.

He put down the towel in his hand, nodded sincerely, and gave a definite evaluation. "Yes, this is still better."

Upon hearing this, Aemeath was taken aback for a moment, then tilted her head in confusion.

"Why?" She loosened her skirt, leaned closer to Lu Yan, her eyes filled with confusion. "Wasn't the black outfit on the first day sexy enough? Or wasn't the white outfit yesterday pretty enough?"

Seeing Aemeath look and insistence on getting to the bottom of things, Lu Yan couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her soft cheek, then smiled and gave his answer:

"I can look at you for a long time because you're cute, but you were too aggressive the other day."

Too aggressive?

Aemeath chewed on those words over and over, and it took her a full two seconds to realize the deeper meaning behind Lu Yan's words.

A beautiful blush slowly rose on her cheeks, like a ripe peach. But soon, a sense of pride overwhelmed her shyness.

"Hiahia!" Aemeath put her hands on her hips, deliberately straightening her posture to make the layers of lace ruffles on her chest even more eye-catching, and curled her lips into a mischievous smile like a little fox, "So Mr. Lu's defenses are so low~ You don't even dare to look more than a few times when you're dressed a little sexy~ I thought you had such good self-control~"

As she spoke, she deliberately moved closer, her breathtakingly beautiful face almost touching Lu Yan's nose. "But, since you like looking at cute things, I'll be merciful today and let you see as much as you want!"

Looking at her smug, self-satisfied expression, Lu Yan shook his head with a helpless smile.

He took her hand and hung a transparent beach bag filled with sunscreen and a water gun on her wrist.

"Come on, my little princess, this morning is all yours to do. Let's go to the beach and use up our last bit of vacation time."

The morning sun warmed the azure sea, and the waves gently lapped against the white sand.

Since it was the last day of their holiday, the two decided to let go of all their worries and frolic in the water like two carefree children.

Lu Yan dragged a huge, extravagantly designed pink inflatable flamingo float from the resort's equipment rental area.

"A-Yan, help me up quickly!" Aemeath stepped on the soft sand and eagerly rushed towards the huge floating bed.

The light pink lace swimsuit she's wearing today is a perfect match for this pink flamingo.

When Lu Yan lifted her up and she finally sat steadily on the flamingo's broad back, her layered, ruffled skirt naturally draped over the water's surface, gently swaying with the ripples. The scene was so beautiful it looked like it had stepped out of an anime.

"Hold on tight, I'm going to push." Lu Yan stood in waist-deep water, pushing the edge of the float with both hands, and led Aemeath towards a slightly deeper area of the sea.

"Charge! Flamingo, full speed ahead!" Aemeath waved her hands excitedly, the sea breeze ruffling her side braid, her clear laughter echoing across the sea.

However, a calm voyage is always short-lived.

As Lu Yan stopped to rest on the floating bed, Aemeath's eyes lit up, and she quietly dipped her hand into the cool seawater.

A handful of crystal-clear water splashed mercilessly onto Lu Yan's face.

"Haha! The sneak attack was a success!" Aemeath sat on the floating bed, laughing so hard she almost fell over.

Lu Yan wiped the seawater off his face, tossed his short black hair, and a hint of fighting spirit ignited in his golden eyes.

"Your aggression has decreased, but your boldness has grown." Lu Yan's lips curled into a smile. "You started this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yan used both hands to create an even larger curtain of water, launching a counterattack at Aemeath on the floating bed.

"Ah!" Aemeath screamed, trying to use the flamingo's tall neck as a shield to block Lu Yan's attack.

The two engaged in a fierce water fight under the sunlight, with no regard for appearances whatsoever.

Aemeath's pink swimsuit was quickly soaked through by the seawater. The wet lace ruffles clung to her skin, losing some of their fluffiness but gaining an air of pitiful innocence.

Just as Aemeath was preparing to launch a new counterattack, a slightly larger wave surged in.

The flamingo float, already unstable due to the two of them fussing, suddenly wobbled.

"Ah--!" With a cry of surprise, Aemeath slid off the floating bed and plunged headfirst into the sea.

Lu Yan reacted quickly, grabbing her slender waist before she could struggle in the water and pulling her out of the water.

"Cough cough..." Aemeath, like a little pink kitten that had fallen into the water, clung tightly to Lu Yan's neck with one hand while wiping the water off her face.

Looking at her disheveled yet adorable appearance, Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud, the vibrations of his chest clearly transmitted to the person in his arms.

"Still being naughty?" Lu Yan teased softly.

Aemeath glared at him angrily, then snuggled up to his shoulder and mumbled indistinctly, "It's all your fault~ My hair is all messed up~"

Sunlight streamed down on the two figures embracing, even the splashing water droplets refracted a rainbow of colors.

After splashing around in the sea, the two returned to shore.

As noon approached, the sun's power gradually became apparent, and the temperature on the beach began to rise sharply.

After playing all morning, the two finally felt a little tired and held hands as they retreated under the huge parasol.

Lu Yan took out two glasses of freshly squeezed watermelon juice, brightly colored and covered with frost, from the refrigerator next to him.

"Here, have some iced water to cool off." Lu Yan handed Aemeath a glass of watermelon juice with a pink curved straw.

Aemeath took the cup and eagerly took a big gulp.

The cool, sweet watermelon juice flowed down my throat, instantly dispelling all the heat and fatigue.

"Wow, she's alive!" Aemeath exclaimed contentedly, then naturally leaned on Lu Yan's shoulder.

Under the parasol, the sea breeze wafts through the wide canopy, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Aemeath leaned against him quietly, holding a glass of bright red watermelon juice in her hands, her gaze fixed on the sandcastle they had built with their own hands, adorned with seashells, not far away.

"A-Yan, these three days have gone by so fast." Her voice carried a hint of reluctance as the layers of pink lace ruffles fluttered gently in the breeze, brushing against Lu Yan's arm.

"It's very fast." Lu Yan put down his cup, put his arm around Aemeath's slender shoulder, and made her more comfortable leaning against him.

"However, this is just the beginning. We'll have plenty of time to go to many more places later."

Aemeath tilted her head back, staring intently at his jawline.

"Actually, it doesn't matter where we go." A satisfied smile curved Aemeath's lips. "Like you said, as long as you're by my side, I can take my time no matter where we are. From now on, I'll only wear this cute swimsuit for you."

Lu Yan lowered his head, his gaze lingering for a moment on the light pink swimsuit that made her look incredibly charming, before finally settling on her bright, sparkling eyes.

"It's almost time." Lu Yan raised his wrist to check his watch. "Go take a shower and change into clean clothes. We'll have lunch, and then we should pack our bags and head back this afternoon."

Upon hearing the word "go back," Aemeath's eyes lit up instead of her disappointment.

She abruptly straightened up from Lu Yan's shoulder, her previous languid weariness vanishing instantly.

"Go back! Right, we need to go back to the city to take care of the most important thing!"

Aemeath grabbed Lu Yan's arm and shook it excitedly. "Let's go back to the city to get our marriage certificate! We also need to discuss the wedding plans with Grandma and Grandpa!"

Lu Yan couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Aemeath, who seemed so eager to marry him off.

"Hmm." Lu Yan stood up and extended his large, warm hand to her. "Let's go, future Mrs. Lu. We should pack up and go home."

Aemeath placed her hand in his palm and used the leverage to stand up.

The pale pink swimsuit, adorned with lace ruffles, shimmered in the midday sun.
