Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

But there's no one around...

"That won't do! Boys need to be careful to protect themselves when they're out, especially you, Xiao Zhe!"

"..."

Girls can do it, but Yu Zhe—can't!

What a despairing double standard!

.........................

Soon, Yu Zhe changed into the swimsuit that Qi Xinye had just bought for him yesterday.

Of course, Yu Zhe was pushed into Qi Xinye's room to change.

Even if no one comes around, just like Yu Zhe thought earlier, Qi Xinye will also think—then am I not a person?

If we see Xiao Zhe changing clothes right in front of us, then we can forget about playing in the water today.

Similar to the swimsuit she wore in Chloe, Yuzhe simply changed into looser, more comfortable shorts and a semi-transparent blue outer layer for sun protection.

He came from the house

She stepped out of the room, tossing her silver, star-like hair behind her back, the resulting sunlight reflecting off it more dazzlingly than the shimmering pool.

This immediately reminded Qi Xinye of the first time Yu Zhe came to the Qi family to play in the water.

Back then, Qi Xinye looked at Yu Zhe from ten years ago and couldn't help but marvel at how such a charming existence could exist in the world.

Transcending gender, possessing a beauty that rivals that of girls, and even carrying a touch of masculine heroism, Yu Zhe, when wearing a swimsuit, exuded a hint of coy reluctance.

Qi Xinye had to admit that although she was the one who prepared the pool surprise for Yu Zhe, she was the happiest person right now.

"Sister Ye? Sister Ye! What's wrong!"

"Hmm? Ah...sorry, I was a little distracted. Are you done changing?"

"Hmm! It fits perfectly. Sister Ye knows my body measurements very well, doesn't she?"

"Is that not certain? I'll see every centimeter Xiao Zhe grows. But it seems like you haven't grown for a while. Maybe you're just this tall? That's fine, it's just right and cute!"

"It would be best if it were a bit longer, otherwise it lacks authority... Okay, may I go in now?"

"Sure, I'm all ready!"

"Ahem, fine."

Yu Zhe just wanted to go into the pool, but he accidentally said something that was a little ambiguous. He's really sorry.

Lift your foot slightly and try to touch the water surface with your toes.

Hmm... these temporary outdoor swimming pools are nice, but the water coming out of the pipes is usually very cold.

Yu Zhe's glistening toes lightly touched the water's surface, causing ripples to spread across it.

Oh dear...

It's not as cold as I imagined?

It's not that it's not cool, but rather that while it's cool, it also has a warm temperature.

Feeling a little relieved, Yu Zhe stepped one leg into the pool and immediately felt completely comfortable!

Seeing Yu Zhe's happy smile, Qi Xinye covered her mouth and smiled.

"Don't worry, Xiao Zhe, this is spring water drawn down from the mountain behind us, not groundwater. The temperature should be just right, you won't catch a cold."

"This...this is simply heaven! Sister Ye, come down quickly! This temperature is amazing!"

"it is good."

Qi Xinye's stepping into the pool was far more elegant than Yu Zhe's.

Like a beautiful woman taking a bath, Sister Ye's movements of lifting her leg and tightening her waist, every smile and frown, were full of artistry.

She wasn't deliberately trying to impress Yu Zhe; it was just a quality she had cultivated since childhood.

But once they got to the pool, Qi Xinye wasn't so "reserved" anymore.

The water was up to their waists. Qi Xinye pushed through the water and swam forward, closing in on Yu Zhe to face him.

"Actually, we should have brought Zixiao, Yuche, and Yun'er along. It's more lively with more people."

"That's true, but the plastic pool can't hold that many people. Two people are just right. I'll get a bigger one at the Su family's place another day."

"Hmm, well then, I guess I've given you some inspiration. When the time comes, have a little pool party, add some chilled orange juice, and Little Lychee will definitely love it."

"Indeed... cough, Sister Ye, you were so good at swimming?"

"Hmm? Yes, after all, you used to like coming to the Qi family to ask for this plastic swimming pool when you were little. If I don't practice properly, how can I take you to play?"

Fine, so it's because of me again!

Yu Zhe realized that many of the things the girls around him were good at were because Yu Zhe liked or needed them.

For example, Zixiao is good at cutting hair because Yuzhe needs her help to cut his hair.

Yu Che is good at managing the company because she wants to help Yu Zhe reduce his stress.

Little Lychee is good at eating, that's because... oh, there's no reason why.

In short, Yu Zhe is very grateful that they were able to do this much.

As Yu Zhe watched Sister Ye holding a little yellow duck and swimming around him, he noticed a certain detail and suddenly realized one of the reasons why Sister Ye was such a good swimmer!

Her chest was actually able to float above the water!

That provides so much buoyancy!

Yu Zhe marveled, really wanting to share this amazing discovery with Yu Che.

Yu Che, I know why you always choke on water when you swim, it's really not your fault.

The two chatted intermittently.

Sudden.

"Hey!! Xiao Zhe! Stop fooling around!"

"Hey, how can you just stop making a fuss? If you don't make a fuss, what's the point of the swimming pool? Sister Ye, take this!"

"Stop...stop fooling around! If you keep this up, I'll fight back!"

That's right, this is an essential part of swimming pool activities.

—Splash water!

Since we've already changed into our swimsuits, without this splashing water, it's like the swimsuit has lost its soul!

Cool mountain spring water kept splashing on Qi Xinye's soft and plump skin. She raised her hands and smiled as she covered herself, then suddenly scooped up a handful of water with both hands and retaliated against Yu Zhe!

Yu Zhe also took a solid hit from the water curtain.

He simply stopped moving.

"Huh? Xiao Zhe? Sorry...did I splash it too hard?"

"No... Phew, Sister Ye, I'm convinced today."

"Ok?"

Yu Zhe clearly saw that when Sister Ye raised her arm to splash water, her chest bounced up and down several times like jelly!

Yu Zhe was completely baffled!

Perhaps she noticed Yu Zhe's gaze?

Qi Xinye symbolically covered her chest slightly and shrank further underwater.

But it reappeared shortly afterward.

Yu Zhe silently swam up behind her, pressing his chest against Qi Xinye's back.

We've been playing in the water for about half an hour now, starting from when we entered the pool.

Even though the water wasn't cold, it wasn't lukewarm either, and I was soaking in it all in early autumn.

There is also a risk of catching a cold.

So, Yu Zhe gently leaned close to Qi Xinye's ear and offered his suggestion.

"Sister Ye...how about we go inside next? We can change out of our swimsuits then...right?"

"Hmm... I'll listen to Xiao Zhe."

"it is good."

Yu Zhe originally wanted to show off by carrying Sister Ye out of the pool in a princess carry!

But...it's obvious that while she can carry Yu Che Xiaomeng, she can barely carry Zi Xiaoyun'er.

Yu Zhe was still overestimating his abilities when he thought he could lift Sister Ye.

Qi Xinye chuckled, climbed up herself, and even reached out to pull Yu Zhe out of the pool.

Next, perhaps, will be the real "play segment" for Yu Zhe and Qi Xinye today?

By the way.

When Yu Zhe led Qi Xinye back into the house.

But he didn't forget to bring the black stockings that Sister Ye had just taken off.

As long as you're not in the pool, this is better than a swimsuit!

66. A Little Understanding

Water droplets were released from the showerhead, splashing onto the non-slip tiles in the bathroom.

Yu Zhe took out an appropriate amount of shampoo, lathered it up, and gently pressed it onto Zi Xiao's smooth, black hair that was wet with water, lathering it up more and more, and it felt great to the touch!

Tomorrow is the start of the new semester at Fenghai University, which is also the day when Xiao Ruoke and her classmates will begin their studies.

Yu Zhe thought she would take a hot shower and go to bed early so she could go to university with them tomorrow.

As it turned out... he did take a bath.

But contrary to the plan, I ended up washing with Zixiao.
