I turned reality into a romantic comedy.

"Does Mumu want to play?"

"To be honest, I'm a little worried that I might fall off or interfere with Qianqian. I feel like Qianqian is driving way too fast."

Lin Mu lowered his head honestly, his toes fidgeting nervously in the fine sand.

"That's because I was with Youyou, and there were lifeguards on standby. If I were with Mumu, I would be very, very gentle."

"...Then, Qianqian, please drive a little slower."

Lin Mu's voice was barely audible, but her actions betrayed her, as she opened her arms and let Chen Junqian put the small life jacket on her.

"Alright, let's go up."

After putting a life jacket on his childhood sweetheart, Chen Junqian supported Lin Mu by the elbow and helped her onto the tall motorcycle. She sat on the back seat and, imitating Xu Youwei's actions earlier, slowly wrapped her arms around Chen Junqian's waist.

"Hold on tight?"

"Ah."

Perhaps because of what Xu Youwei had just said, Lin Mu's voice became softer and sweeter than she could even tell herself, and she shyly buried half of her face in Chen Junqian's back.

"Then we're off."

Boom—!

The engine roared again, but unlike the violent launch he had made with Youwei earlier, Chen Junqian's operation this time was quite gentle, instantly transforming it into a baby bus-like motion.

The motorcycle smoothly sliced ​​through the sea, moving into the depths with a rhythmic motion. The sea light and wind that came towards it instantly dispelled all the noise on the shore.

"You can open your eyes now."

Lin Mu tentatively lifted his eyelids a crack.

About a few hundred meters from the shore, the seawater changed from azure to a deep, jewel-like blue. Sunlight danced on the surface, as if countless tiny mirrors were simultaneously reflecting dazzling light. Without the obstruction of buildings, the horizon stretched out before us, appearing so magnificent and free.

"So beautiful..."

The girl couldn't help but sigh.

"Loosen your grip a little, let me let you feel the wind."

Chen Junqian's voice came from ahead.

After confirming that Lin Mu had adapted to the rhythm, Chen Junqian gradually increased the throttle, and the motorcycle's speed reached a pleasant critical point. Lin Mu felt the wind whistling merrily in her ears, so she simply let go of one hand and boldly tried to catch the cool water splashing in the air.

"Qianqian, that's amazing!"

She shouted loudly, while her mind raced back to the things she had just heard about liking someone, so she simply shouted out what she thought was an answer:

"I love it so much!"

On this vast, unobstructed blue wilderness, all shyness and awkwardness were broken by this primal sense of freedom. As she spoke, Lin Mu couldn't help but hug Chen Junqian's waist a little tighter. Through the life jacket, she could feel his laughter causing her back to tremble.

"Is it fun?"

"More fun than you can imagine!"

"Then—hold on tight to this bend!"

Chen Junqian shouted and suddenly made a smooth left cut, the motorcycle drawing an exaggerated arc. Lin Mu was thrown against his back due to inertia, her nose hitting his shoulder hard, but she didn't feel any pain. She just looked at the blue sea, the red glow of the sunset, the roaring machine, and the boy who was protecting her behind him, seemingly cutting through the waves for her alone, like a duet on the sea.

In that instant, Lin Mu felt as if only she and Chen Junqian remained in the world. But it was only for a moment, because Chen Junqian turned around and the outline of the beach reappeared, like a dagger piercing through illusion, bringing her back to her senses.

As the jet skis slowed down and gently returned to the bustling shore, the sunset was already beginning to gather on the horizon.

Chen Junqian parked the car, jumped into the water, and then naturally reached out his hands to catch Lin Mu, who was still dizzy.

He didn't give her a chance to jump down on her own. Instead, he lifted her off the cushion by his arm around her waist, just like he was holding a child.

Lin Mu experienced a brief feeling of weightlessness. Just when she thought her feet were about to touch the fine sand at the bottom of the water, the other person suddenly changed their actions. Instead of putting her down, they reached out and pulled her into their arms, one hand under her knees and the other supporting her slender back. Without any discussion or hesitation, they simply swept her up in their arms.

"Qianqian?"

Lin Mu was startled by the sudden suspension in mid-air. In her panic, she clung tightly to his neck and leaned against him, panting. The distance between them was instantly brought to an extremely dangerous level.

"...Why is it this kind of hug again?"

Even though there was no one else around, Lin Mu couldn't quite bring himself to say the words "princess carry," and could only use "this kind of carry" to try and cover it up.

"I already hugged her in front of so many people last time, Mu Mu should be used to it by now. Besides, didn't you see your legs were weak?"

Lin Mu tilted her head back, her long, wet hair clinging messily to her neck, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes moist and bright.

"It was clearly because Qianqian was driving too strangely, making me dizzy."

"Oh? Who was it that shouted 'Faster!' from behind just now?"

Lin Mu was speechless, and shyly kicked the water under her feet, splashing a little water onto Chen Junqian's face.

Chen Junqian didn't dodge, he just looked at her, and then suddenly reached out and used his thumb to wipe away a drop of water from the tip of her nose.

The crimson glow of the setting sun bathed the two of them, casting a dreamlike filter over the moment.

This should have been the most perfect CG.

Just as Chen Junqian was thinking about whether to continue with some lines to press the attack while the atmosphere was good, he suddenly felt a collision in his waist.

Something drifted precisely with the tide, landing on Chen Junqian before being stopped.

So the two of them looked down together and saw its true form.

Lin Mu tilted his head, as if he didn't understand the situation, while Chen Junqian clicked his tongue.

The image of "My swimsuit was washed away" shone brightly in his mind.

Chapter 118: Did you know the roles have reversed? (Part 2)

Rewind ten minutes, while Chen Junqian was riding a jet ski with Lin Mu and Xu Youwei, Chen Xi was scrutinizing the swimsuit in front of her.

This was something she and Gu Lingguo bought together at the store. In Gu Lingguo's own words, as long as she wore it, she would definitely become the center of attention in the color CG, firmly attracting the male lead's gaze and attention. However, the more Gu Lingguo said that, the more Chen Xi hesitated. So much so that even though everyone else was wearing swimsuits today, she didn't change anything and just put on an extra jacket before coming down.

However, since the outfit she was wearing was completely soaked by seawater, compared to the shame of almost displaying the outline and color of her underwear so closely, it was definitely better to just put on a swimsuit. So she specially asked her best friend to help her deliver this swimsuit.

As the tides shifted, the once calm sea began to stir. Compared to the open beach where Lin Mu and Xu Youwei were, filled with laughter and joy, this rocky reef area on the side of the bay appeared exceptionally desolate and secluded. The huge, dark brown reefs, eroded by the sea wind with jagged patterns, resembled silent guardians, creating a space independent of the outside world.

Chen Xi was standing alone in a narrow passage at the deepest part of this reef group. It was a natural harbor, with two reefs, each about two people high, intersecting at the bottom, leaving a shallow beach of about three square meters.

Seawater seeped in quietly through the cracks in the rocks, reaching above her ankles, making gurgling swallowing sounds—a perfect spot to change clothes.

However, just a few minutes later, Chen Xi's eyes, which usually exuded aloofness and coldness, were instantly covered by a thin layer of shame and indignation.

Nature's malice always comes unexpectedly.

She had just taken off her T-shirt, unhooked her bra, and was trying to put on her clean one-piece swimsuit when a huge undercurrent, with the force of a thunderbolt, crashed violently against the outer rock wall.

"Snapped!"

A huge wave, like a runaway white dragon, crashed over the top of the rock and drenched her with considerable force. As she frantically wiped the seawater off her face and regained her footing, a gust of wind blew in, and a chill spread throughout her body.

The minimalist black one-piece swimsuit, which she had already put on halfway and was stuck at her waist, was suddenly ripped off by the huge suction force. In the swirling undercurrent, the black fabric, like a nimble yet ruthless fish, disappeared instantly into the bottomless dark blue waves along the narrow crevice. Her bra, which she had taken off and placed on the nearby reef, was also washed away.

"...No way."

Realizing this, Chen Xi subconsciously shrank into the darkest corner of the rock, hugging his chest tightly with both hands, squatting there like a fish with only half its head sticking out, bubbling away.

"Lin Guo? Lin Guo!"

I tentatively called my friend's name a few more times, but there was no response at all. The surroundings were deathly silent, with only the monotonous and empty sound of the sea lapping against the rocks.

"elder brother……"

This time, Chen Xi subconsciously called out the name of the person closest to her, but her voice immediately became softer after it came out, until it was so faint that even she could not hear it clearly, and it was quickly torn apart by the sound of the wind and waves.

After all, calling Chen Junqian over in her situation is the most problematic thing, isn't it?

Although she was completely submerged in the water and felt much more relaxed or refreshed than before, Chen Xi still felt uneasy. The coldness of the seawater, the swaying seaweed, the sand and pebbles under her feet directly touched her skin, clearly reminding her of a reality.

She is currently in a state of complete disarming.

The only saving grace was that they had come to a private beach that had been booked in advance, so they didn't have to worry about being seen by other people. But having acquaintances also had its inconveniences. Just thinking about Chen Junqian seeing her like this made Chen Xi feel her body temperature rise involuntarily. Her mind was even conjuring up erotic jokes about men covering their bodies and women covering their faces to escape when a bathhouse caught fire.

However, Chen Xi's wild thoughts didn't last long, because soon she heard a very familiar sound coming from the entrance outside the reef.

"Is Xiaoxi here? I found her here..."

Before Chen Junqian could finish speaking, Chen Xi shouted at the top of her lungs to stop him:

"Stop! Don't come any closer! Your brother is standing right there... Don't turn around!"

However, without her calling out, Chen Junqian's figure had already stopped at the entrance. All she could see was the boy's shadow cast on the reef, stretched out by the setting sun, almost enveloping her entire body.

"What happened? Are you hurt?"

"The clothes...were washed away by the waves."

Chen Xi buried her face in her knees, her voice muffled and thickly nasal.

Even through the thick reef, Chen Junqian could almost picture his sister's terrified state. His initial intention to tease her vanished instantly, and he quickly threw the lower half of his armor that was rushing towards him back at her.

"I found a piece of clothing here, so I took it off."

She didn't even care that Chen Junqian had found the underwear she was wearing. After receiving it, Chen Xi hurriedly put it on, finally escaping Xia Chuanzhenliang's predicament. She felt very relieved, since she could now cover her upper body with both hands... but it still didn't quite work. Suddenly, she could understand why everyone covered their faces when they ran away.

"...because I wanted to change into my swimsuit."

Where's the swimsuit?

"It was washed away too. My brother found other clothes, like my bra or T-shirt."

"No, this is all I found."

To be precise, it wasn't even found; it just bumped into me.

"Shall I go back to your room and get you another set of clothes?"

"...Don't go."

Hearing his younger sister plead with him in such a fragile, tearful tone was a rare treat. Chen Junqian, who was about to leave, paused, suddenly feeling a bit amused and exasperated.

What's going on? He's the only person of the opposite sex on this beach. If he just avoided her, she could walk out openly without any problem.

But as soon as he mentioned this idea, Chen Xi quickly rejected it:

"No, I don't want anyone else to see it either."

"They're all girls."
