The next morning, Chu Yang and Chi Yan took their clothes and went swimming. They had been there once before, but because they had encountered Gao Miao and then the incident with Zheng Tianyuan, they felt that they hadn't really had a chance to enjoy it properly.
This time, they were determined to have a good time.
Chu Yang and Chi Yan went to the same swimming pool that belonged to Zheng Tianyuan. This time, they didn't run into Gao Miao, and the two of them swam back and forth in the private VIP pool several times. They even imitated race countdowns.
Chu Yang watched Chi Yan swimming like a fish and nodded, thinking that he should do well in the sports meet. As for herself, she could only consider it as playing around.
Chu Yang had signed up for the 200-meter swim, a single lap, but she felt that her endurance was not up to par.
When Chu Yang got tired from swimming, she would float on her back to rest. Seeing this, Chi Yan would come and tease her. The teasing became a bit suggestive, as they were both scantily dressed and naturally attracted to each other. Chi Yan pulled her into his embrace, with Chu Yang's legs wrapped around his waist as she clung to him. Chi Yan kissed the woman in his arms, and in the confusion, Chu Yang's shoulder strap fell down, exposing a glimpse of her snowy white skin. Chi Yan's hand started to move down...
"Slap!" Chu Yang's face flushed red as she slapped Chi Yan's shoulder. "We're outside."
Chi Yan finally came to his senses and reluctantly let her go, swimming several laps to vent his excess energy as he could barely hold himself back. Meanwhile, Chu Yang got her clothes in order on the shore, noticing that it was almost time. "Chi Yan, it's about time. Let's go eat."
Chi Yan's voice was still a little hoarse. "Okay." He felt that if he swam a few more laps, he would lose it...
After lunch, the two returned to Chi Yan's place. Chu Yang opened Weibo and handled her clients' needs first, then began studying new Witchcraft.
Chi Yan sat across from Chu Yang, also with a book in his hand. Chu Yang placed the crystal ball on the table, grabbed a chopstick from the kitchen since she didn't have a wand, figuring it would at least give her an air of authority.
Then Chu Yang released her magic power and recited the incantation from the book, "Jiluxiuxi balihuahuaxue... xiximilufengshenguilai..."
"Whoosh!" Chi Yan across from her was suddenly drenched with water, his hair completely soaked.
Chi Yan: ...?
Chu Yang: Oops...
Chi Yan looked up at Chu Yang, blinking his eyes. The book in his hand was also soaked.
"Haha," Chu Yang laughed awkwardly, putting the chopstick down on the table before quickly ducking behind the couch. "Sorry, I didn't mean to."
Chi Yan put his book down, then pounced over to grab her.
"Ah!" Chu Yang ran away laughing. "My bad."
With his long legs, Chi Yan caught up in just a few strides, flinging her over his shoulder. He then carried her into the bedroom and tossed her onto the bed, grabbing some clothes from the closet and throwing them at her. "Since you know you did wrong, come help me change clothes. And help me dry my hair too."
Chu Yang raised her hands. "Right away, right away."
Chu Yang first used a dry towel to wipe his hair, then it was time to change clothes... Uh... Chu Yang suddenly realized something was off. "Change... clothes?"
Chi Yan just sat there like a lord, grumbling. "Uh-huh, look at me, my clothes are soaked through." His white T-shirt was so wet that you could faintly see his abs.
Chu Yang swallowed hard, first helping him take off his top. Chi Yan was the type who looked slim when clothed but had a nice body when undressed. Chu Yang glanced at his abs, then looked away, only to glance back again. Seeing this, Chi Yan smiled and grabbed her hand, placing it on his abs, then whispered in her ear, "Feel free to touch."
Chu Yang gave his abs a squeeze, then poked them a bit. Good lord, they were actually moving! She poked again. However, she didn't notice that Chi Yan was having a hard time holding back.
After playing around for a bit, Chu Yang hesitantly figured he might catch a cold, so she decided to help him put his shirt back on first.
"What about my pants?" Chi Yan said in a low voice after putting his shirt on.
Chu Yang gave him a slap. "Change them yourself." His pants weren't that wet anyway.
Chi Yan pretended to look disappointed as he went to change his pants, then pushed Chu Yang down onto the bed. "Chu Yang... Chu Yang... I..."
Chu Yang was confused. "?"
Chi Yan leaned in and whispered something in her ear. Chu Yang's face turned beet red. "What do we do about that?"
Chi Yan softly said those words.
Chu Yang: ?
This guy!!!
No peeking, no peeking. Mainly because a certain someone had just said that he already belonged to her, and she wasn't allowed to abandon her husband in the future.
Chu Yang: ?
Chi Yan's ears were red as he used a tissue to wipe her hands. "We're just kids, after all."
Chu Yang immediately rushed into the bathroom, her face flushed, and used body wash to clean herself before opening the window to let the cool breeze in and air out the scent.
Chi Yan was still covered by the blanket, only his head peeking out as he smiled at her like an obedient wolf pup.
Chu Yang glared at him, then went back to the couch to continue reading her book. She flipped to the incantation from earlier and saw a line of small print at the end: For mischievous use only.
Chu Yang: ...
Oh well, on to the next one.
A little while later, the man whose innocence had been tarnished finally emerged shyly from the bedroom. Seeing that it was about time, he went to the kitchen to cook.
"Chu Yang, what would you like for dinner tonight?"
Chu Yang didn't look up from her book. "You decide. We'll eat whatever."
"Okay. Then I'll make some spare rib soup and stir-fry a couple of dishes."
An hour later, Chi Yan had finished cooking the meal. "Dinner's ready."
"Got it."
Putting down her book, Chu Yang washed her hands and ate dinner. "After this, I'll head back to the dorms." She had classes in the morning, and it was more convenient to stay in the school dorms.
"Huh? You're going back?" Chi Yan instantly looked crestfallen, feeling like the food had lost its flavor.
Chu Yang looked at him. "What's wrong? It's not like I haven't gone back before." She put a spare rib on his plate. The food was really good today. She hadn't seen him look so dejected before.
Chi Yan mumbled something inaudible.
"Speak up, I can't hear you."
Chi Yan: "I... after what happened today, you still want to go back?"
Chu Yang: ?
Chi Yan looked at her, then turned away, then looked back at her again. Chu Yang noticed his reddened ears and instantly recalled the afternoon's events...
Chu Yang glared at him and put down her bowl and chopsticks, reaching over to pinch his cheeks. "Chi Yan, aren't you being childish? How old are you?"
Chi Yan puffed out his chest. "I'm forever eighteen."
Chu Yang: ... She had heard girls say they were forever eighteen, but never a guy.
Chi Yan leaned over and put some meat on her plate. "I'll drop you off at class tomorrow morning, so don't go back."
Chu Yang: "Don't you think you're being clingy?"
Chi Yan stated matter-of-factly, "Who doesn't cling to their girlfriend? Only those without girlfriends don't cling."
Chu Yang: ...
