Chapter 291: Chapter 291

The unique subtropical scenery of Yafeng Village is breathtakingly beautiful.

The gentle sea breeze, the beautiful sea view, even the sand beneath the feet is exceptionally fine.

Zhao Meimei looked at the beach full of bikinis and complained in a low voice, "I’ve grown up. Why do I still have to wear this one-piece swimsuit?!"

The swimsuit Shi Yang chose for Zhao Meimei was like a dance practice suit. The upper body was a tight short sleeve, the lower body was not only shorts but also had a circle of skirt around the waist, strictly covering her round buttocks.

Shi Yang himself only wore swimming trunks; his skin was even fairer than Zhao Meimei’s. His stature was tall and well-proportioned, and in the sunset, he looked handsome and charming. As he passed by, young beautiful girls would glance at him from time to time.

Zhao Meimei felt it was unfair. Why could Shi Yang flaunt his physique and attract others’ attention while she had to be dressed like a little quail?

Zhao Meimei held back a mischievous intention, glancing at Shi Yang’s fair chest and abs, and deliberately snuggled up to him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

Shi Yang hurriedly tried to fend her off with his hand, scolding, "No fooling around!"

After pinching, Zhao Meimei burst into laughter, so proud and joyful. Even after Shi Yang caught her and gave her a hard pinch on the butt, she couldn’t stop laughing with tears in her eyes.

Zhao Meimei had learned to swim from Shi Yang when she was a child. The sea water still had a warm touch, and it was very comfortable to soak in it.

Shi Yang led Zhao Meimei into the water. They didn’t go far but swam and played near the busy shore.

The sky was gradually darkening, and there were many people swimming by the sea. Shi Yang, feeling uneasy, reminded Zhao Meimei, "Stay around here, okay? Don’t swim too far; I won’t be able to find you!"

Zhao Meimei said, "It’s okay, I can find you. No matter where you are, I can find you!"

Shi Yang lectured, "No fooling around! This is the seaside!"

Shi Yang played with Zhao Meimei for a while, feeling the itch himself. Seeing many people swimming back and forth made his eyes itch with longing.

Shi Yang was planning to discuss with Zhao Meimei, asking her to stand there while he swam a couple of laps. In that unguarded moment, Zhao Meimei took advantage, diving underwater like a sleek fish, vanishing in a splash of water.

"Meimei!" Shi Yang was startled and hurriedly reached out to grab her, but it was a step too late. He could only watch as the waves swallowed her whole and she disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Meimei could swim and hold her breath well. Shi Yang assumed she was just being mischievous and playful, so he let her be. But after a good ten seconds, Zhao Meimei still hadn’t surfaced, and Shi Yang’s expression changed: "Meimei!"

Panicked, Shi Yang held his breath, diving towards the direction Zhao Meimei had gone, trying to retrieve her.

The sky was too dark, even in the water it was hard to see, so Shi Yang didn’t notice Zhao Meimei crouching in the spot she had gone under, holding her nose, waiting for him like a rabbit waiting for its prey.

Shi Yang only saw her when he was about a foot away. Zhao Meimei had her eyes open underwater, her hair drifting in the current. Seeing him, she quickly opened her arms, her face wearing a mischievous smile of someone who had just succeeded in a prank, every expression overflowing with joy and delight.

Zhao Meimei flailed her limbs, pouncing into Shi Yang’s embrace, and directly captured his lips, eagerly taking the air from his mouth.

A shallow breath of air exchanged between their lips and teeth. Suddenly, Shi Yang smiled, slowly pressing towards Zhao Meimei, holding her tightly in his arms. That breath of air seemed like an exchange of life, destined to be eternal in an instant.

Shi Yang, holding Zhao Meimei, surfaced together. Both were breathing heavily, smiling at each other. Their foggy eyes met through water-drenched lashes, and at that moment, they wished time could stop there, never moving another second.

In the evening, they had barbecue directly in Yafeng Village. They chose well-marinated grilled meats, clean fresh prawns, oysters, and scallops. Shi Yang picked a few items, chose a wind-sheltered spot with Zhao Meimei, and grilled them himself, eating as he cooked.

The grilled meat wasn’t much, but the seafood was very delicious. Even without adding any condiments, it was exceptionally fresh.

Zhao Meimei, dipping roasted oysters in garlic paste while eating, gestured for Shi Yang to look at the row of tents spread out along the beach: "What’s that for?"

Shi Yang followed her hand’s direction, answering casually, "It’s for tourists to rest, I suppose?"

The cook helping the next table with grilled skewers overheard and interjected, "Usually at this time, exhausted tourists from the day come to lie down a bit; the beach is still warm and very comfortable to lie on."

Zhao Meimei listened eagerly, her face full of longing.

Shi Yang found it amusing, asking, "Want to sleep in a tent?"

Zhao Meimei nodded eagerly, "Yes!"

Shi Yang agreed readily, "Alright, after we finish the barbecue, we’ll go over."

Shi Yang asked the cook, "Do you rent out tents too?"

The cook answered promptly, "Of course! And the location is quite good!" Googlᴇ search novel•fire.net

Shi Yang took out money, "Reserve one for me, please. Make sure it’s in a dry spot. By the way, do you have disposable blankets? Give me two."

"Yes!" The cook took the money and shouted for others to help prepare.

With her stomach full of seafood, Zhao Meimei contently followed Shi Yang to the reserved tent.

The staff leading them was very enthusiastic, saying, "We are open until eleven-thirty at night, so there are still two hours. You don’t need to rush; there are plenty of buses waiting outside to return to the city."

The reserved tent spot was indeed good, with the entrance facing the sea.

The person leading them left a full capacity sign hanging on the tent and then turned to leave.

Zhao Meimei eagerly wanted to slip off her shoes and get in, but Shi Yang held her arm: "Wait a minute; let me lay out the blankets."

Shi Yang spread out the two blankets flat and neatly, then beckoned Zhao Meimei to come in.

Inside the tent, with the zipper open, looking out felt no different than lying directly on the beach.

Zhao Meimei raised her head, gazing at the starry sky, her eyes in a trance.

The sea so close, and the bright stars hanging in the pitch-black night sky, created a breathtaking view.

While Zhao Meimei admired the night scene, Shi Yang gazed intently at her, supporting his head with his hand. His handsome features appeared even more defined and clear in the night, like a flawless and perfect statue, the warmth of love in his eyes softly landing on Zhao Meimei’s face.

The tent was incredibly quiet for a moment, as if they could clearly hear the strong, lively heartbeat in each other’s chests.

Zhao Meimei withdrew her gaze, turning her head to meet Shi Yang’s eyes.

With a smile in his eyes, Shi Yang asked, "Do you like it?"
