Chapter 126 The Long-Coveted Rosy Lips
It was a rare treat to find that the pool was still flowing.
Xie Xiao crouched down to touch it, finding the water cold and refreshing.
Lin Yu also crouched down to touch it, "Wow, this water feels great."
Liu Ou was more straightforward, "Let's soak our feet!"
At first, they didn't realize the so-called waterfall was so small and had each gone back to grab a set of clothes, wondering if they might get wet.
Now it seemed that wouldn't be necessary.
Luo Yanran was probably playing in such a small pool for the first time and was quite happy.
Xie Xiao reached out to support her, "Be careful."
After Luo Yanran sat down, she patted the spot next to her.
Xie Xiao smiled and sat down next to her.
The last of the group sat together, watching the small waterfall while they soaked their feet.
The weather in June was already quite hot, but the forest was cool, and soaking their feet felt truly comfortable.
Lin Yu shared out the watermelon, and they were comfortable inside and out.
Xie Xiao gazed at Luo Yanran next to him, who squinted her eyes as she watched for fish. Her long eyelashes and side profile obscured her bright eyes, her delicate nose, and slightly parted lips.
His girlfriend was really beautiful.
The more Xie Xiao looked, the happier he felt inside, and he couldn't help but recall the conversation in the car earlier, his thoughts wandering.
Since his attention was all on Luo Yanran, he naturally didn't notice Lin Yu sneaking up behind them.
"Crap!" Xie Xiao only felt a sensation of weightlessness as he faced down into the small pool.
A splash followed, drawing shrieks from the two girls.
The water in the pool reached up to Xie Xiao's waist.
He stood in the water, speechlessly glaring at Lin Yu, who stood at the bank laughing, "Damn it, how old are you!"
Lin Yu kept laughing, "Why do you care how old I am, long live fun."
Luo Yanran, standing next to them, blinked and felt he made sense.
Then, without warning, she pushed Lin Yu.
With Lin Yu's "Crap," he splashed down with a "plop."
After all, the four of them were now quite comfortable with each other.
Xie Xiao dodged and laughed as he watched Lin Yu make a splash.
The two girls at the bank hugged each other and laughed.
Lin Yu stood and just heard Xie Xiao cry out triumphantly.
"Luo, Senior! You…" Lin Yu wanted to say something, but then he thought again that they were a couple, and this was revenge for Xie Xiao.
Indeed, Luo Yanran smiled, "Long live fun~"
The group burst out laughing without any context.
Xie Xiao walked to the bank and gently grasped her foot soaking in the water.
She drew back a bit but found he was insistent.
The dappled sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, hitting each young laughing face.
That summer, a senseless cry of "long live fun" brought out foolish smiles among the young men and women.
Time seemed to freeze at that very moment.
Carefree, they were still young.
Luo Yanran moved her ankle but couldn't pull away.
Her gaze turned wary, "You're not going to return the favor with a grudge, are you?"
Her tone was soft, almost coquettish.
Xie Xiao laughed, naturally, he wouldn't. If he got her wet...
The thought alone was hardly bearable for him, and eventually he just rubbed her ankle a few times before letting go.
Off to the side, Liu Ou didn't look at the two, but muttered, "No peeking at intimate moments~"
This made Luo Yanran blush fiercely.
Behind her, Lin Yu was splashing water towards Xie Xiao, "What are you doing, come down and play nicely~"
"I dare not repay kindness with ingratitude, I'll reciprocate later." Xie Xiao said with a smile to Luo Yanran, then turned and pounced on Lin Yu, "You rascal!"
The two young men frolicked in the water, intentionally keeping a distance from the girls to avoid splashing their clothes.
Liu Ou glanced sideways at Luo Yanran. "Yo?"
Luo Yanran was still pondering whether his 'reciprocation' was serious or not when she heard Liu Ou's "yo" and looked up at her.
Meeting the teasing gaze of her best friend, Luo Yanran felt warmth lingering around her ankles as if Xie Xiao's hand was still there, "What's up?"
"Nothing much." Liu Ou laughed, glanced at the two boys now standing under the waterfall, moved a bit closer, and whispered, "I want to ask you what you're up to? No, what are you two up to?"
Even though they hadn't done anything, Luo Yanran inexplicably felt a bit guilty. She moved her hand to brush away the slightly messy hair on her face stirred by the wind, "I don't know what you're talking about, what could we possibly be up to."
Liu Ou laughed, "There's plenty you could be up to, shouldn't I have said one room per person earlier?"
Knowing she was teasing, Luo Yanran still couldn't help but blush and reached out to grab Liu Ou's hand, "Hai Ou!"
Liu Ou chuckled and stroked her face, "Ahh, our Luoluo is so cute, Xie Xiao is so lucky."
Finally, she lowered her voice and added, "Be safe, okay?"
Then, when Xie Xiao and the others came up, they all saw Luo Yanran sitting there with a flushed face, lost in thought.
Xie Xiao looked down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo Yanran took his hand and stood up, following the strength of his hand.
"Nothing..." she murmured softly.
Xie Xiao touched her flushed earlobe and looked toward Liu Ou pleading, "Junior Liu Ou, please stop teasing her."
Liu Ou laughed unabashedly on the side, "Blame me! But Luoluo really is adorable."
Xie Xiao internally agreed, she really was adorable.
The two guys were completely soaked, even their underwear were wet.
In the end, they had no choice but to head back first.
They would still be here for a few more days anyhow, and they could visit the sunset and the meadows next time.
Back at the hotel, Xie Xiao's room was at the end of the corridor. He didn't care what the others thought and pulled Luo Yanran along with him to his room.
Luo Yanran felt a bit embarrassed, "Why am I going in there when you're changing clothes..."
With a "beep," Xie Xiao unlocked the door, smiled, and said, "Keep me company, and let me repay your favor in the process."
Luo Yanran was about to speak when she was pulled inside.
With a "click," the door shut, and the young man's warm body pressed against hers.
Xie Xiao reached for the card slot beside him. He inserted the room card, the light turned on, and the central air conditioning started up.
The quiet room filled with the sound of the air conditioning starting up.
Xie Xiao looked at the girl he pinned against the door, her face rosy and her white, delicate teeth gently biting her lips. "Weren't you... weren't you supposed to change clothes?"
Her voice was very soft, as if she was scared and even afraid to meet his gaze.
Xie Xiao chuckled, their bodies already close, and his laughter caused a noticeable vibration.
Luo Yanran blushed and put her hand over his mouth.
But he grabbed her wrist in one move and, still smiling, said, "Want to watch me change clothes?"
"I was not! Go change by yourself!" Luo Yanran stared with wide eyes at him, exasperated.
When she looked up at him, Xie Xiao leaned down and kissed the lips he had long coveted.
He had wanted to do this since they were outside.
Her wrist was caught, her body pinned by his, Luo Yanran felt like she had no space to escape.
Xie Xiao kissed her forcefully, unlike any other time before.
The touch of his palm through the fabric reached her waist making her shiver involuntarily.
