In the hot summer, treading upon the soft sands soaked in cool water could be a very soothing experience. The coolness dispersed the hotness inside her body through her feet.
Qin Jiao turned to look at Dong Lijia from time to time. As he walked up, she hurriedly moved toward him with a smile.
"It's nice to walk on the beach at night, right?" Qin Jiao talked to Dong Lijia.
"Yeah, it's nice," Dong Lijia nodded.
Luo Yuanjun looked at Lin Wenwen, who was walking in the water alone. Abruptly, he went up to her and kicked into the water toward her. His flip-flop flew at Lin Wenwen along with the water, and a loud sound of water was heard.
Lin Wenwen nimbly turned around and dodged Luo Yuanjun's childish attack. She noticed him the moment he moved, so how could she possibly let the water pour on herself?
"Childish!" Lin Wenwen moved to the side and steadied herself, then habitually gave Luo Yuanjun a glare.
"Hah! You actually dodged!" Luo Yuanjun looked at Lin Wenwen and said with surprise. Not even a single drop of water landed on her body.
Hearing the noise he made, the others turned to him and Lin Wenwen.
After watching Luo Yuanjun's move, Dong Lijia had his eyes glowing. He sneakily walked up behind Lin Wenwen, but she soon saw him.
"What do you want?" Lin Wenwen turned and looked at him expressionlessly.
Being caught, Dong Lijia turned his head awkwardly. But in the next second, he burst in scream and kicked his foot that was in the water toward Lin Wenwen.
"Oi!" Lin Wenwen automatically shouted out loud and nimbly leaped up, flashing a few meters away. The others looked at her in shock; she ran really fast and reacted swiftly!
"Wow! Xinxin, you reacted fast!" Qin Jiao looked at her and said with a weird look on her face.
"You too?" Lin Wenwen scolded Dong Lijia, "Are you guys three years old?"
As both himself and Dong Lijia had failed to splash Lin Wenwen, Luo Yuanjun instantly got excited.
"Oh my! You dodged twice in a row! You are nimble! When did you become a nimble fat person?" Luo Yuanjun moved up behind Lin Wenwen to the beach. There was no water there, but he could use the sands!
Hearing Luo Yuanjun call her fat over and over again, Lin Wenwen finally grew upset. She suddenly turned and inserted a foot into the sand, then swung that leg toward Luo Yuanjun.
Puff! The sand spread in the air and flew at Luo Yuanjun, who was meters away.
Luo Yuanjun hurriedly attempted to dodge.
"Oi, you guys! We've just had dinner. Don't run so fast!" The quiet girl couldn't help but say to Dong Lijia and Luo Yuanjun.
After sending the sand toward Luo Yuanjun, Lin Wenwen quickly moved away from him and Dong Lijia, walking to the other side of the beach. Then, she turned and yelled at them, "Are you two idiots?"
"Oi! Who are you talking to? You big Fat Ball! How dare you call me idiot!" Hearing what she said, Luo Yuanjun exploded and quickly went after Lin Wenwen.
"Alright, Yuanjun," Deng Chenfei's cold voice was heard, "Be quiet! Do you want to suffer a stomachache?"
Being reminded by him, Luo Yuanjun instantly stopped moving. Then, he pointed at Lin Wenwen as he looked at Dong Lijia and complained, "What's wrong with her? When did she become so sharp-tongued?"
"I've told you that she has changed," said Dong Lijia. 'She's not my Xinxin! God knows who she really is!' he thought.
Lin Wenwen didn't want to say another word to them, so she turned and walked away alone.
She walked along the beach and watched the spindrift climb onto the beach wave by wave. After an hour of strolling, the others all returned to the hotel, but Lin Wenwen didn't. She spent another while walking on the beach, and then started jogging.
Qin Jiao and Lin Yuehui were standing on the terrace again. The former looked at the ocean and said, "Dong Xinxin seems to really have changed. She reacted fast just now, even managing to dodge Luo Yuanjun's attack. She's seriously nimble now."
Lin Yuehui nodded, "Yeah, she seemed agile just now. Do you think she'll wear a swimsuit tomorrow?"
Tomorrow, they would spend a day on the yacht. They prepared to wear swimsuits because they might go down in the water in a shallow area or do some surfing.
"She certainly won't," said Qin Jiao.
Lin Yuehui smiled and said, "You don't know for sure. Let's go to her room later and convince her to wear it. We'll tell her that we'll all be wearing swimsuits, and it'd be weird if she didn't wear one. Have you forgotten that she fears attention the most? People will notice her if she dresses weirdly."
"Oh, that's right," Qin Jiao said with laughter.
Lin Wenwen was exhausted by the time she went back to her room, where she had a nice hot bath. As she came out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, drying her hair with a towel, someone knocked on her door.
She opened the door and saw Qin Jiao and Lin Wenwen. She rolled her eyes in her head, but didn't show it on her face. She only looked at them with no expression.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
"Can't we come here just to spend some time with you?" Qin Jiao looked at her with a big smile, "Xinxin, you've been cold with us lately. Come on, let's chat!"
"I heard that they're gonna make barbecue tomorrow on the yacht, since we didn't do it on the beach tonight," Lin Yuehui said, also with a smile.
The two girls made their way in before Lin Wenwen invited them to.
"Xinxin, everybody will wear a swimsuit tomorrow. Will you wear one?" Qin Jiao sat down on the couch and said to Lin Wenwen, making it sound like casual chat.
"No," Lin Wenwen shook her head.
"Why? We'll all be wearing swimsuits," Lin Yuehui hurriedly joined the conversation, "It's gonna be weird if you don't… Did you forget to bring your swimsuit? We've prepared one for you. We managed to find your size."
Qin Jiao nodded quickly and added, "Yeah. We were worried that you might forget to bring one, so we had it prepared for you!"
After saying that, she took out a paper bag and opened it to show Lin Wenwen what was inside it.
Lin Wenwen clearly understood that the two girls would bother her for a very long time tonight, unless she agreed to do what they said. To make them leave as soon as possible, she should probably say yes.
"But, I don't want to wear it," she looked at the two and said.
"Why? Everybody will be wearing a swimsuit. It's really going to be weird if you're the only one not…" Qin Jiao looked at her and said.
Lin Yuehui knew Lin Wenwen would say that. With a grin, she said, "Are you worried that you might not look good in a swimsuit? Relax! This swimsuit isn't revealing at all. It'll cover your stomach. You really don't need to worry!"
