At the blazing end of summer, with clear skies and a bright sun hanging high, nothing could be more pleasant than soaking in a comfortable seawater bath!
When Jiang Feng and Bai Zhiqing arrived at the seaside, they saw Mo Zixun, Su Xiaoxiao, and Feng Yueji already having a great time in the water.
In a sense, they were all Heavenly Pride Girls; usually, because of their status and personalities, it was hard for them to really let go and play.
But here, this bit of heaven and earth and the sea all belonged to them and Jiang Feng, so they were willing to drop everything to enjoy and relax!
Especially Feng Yueji; the burden on her shoulders was usually far too heavyâhow long had it been since she truly enjoyed such childlike fun?
Following along with Mo Zixun and Su Xiaoxiao, she herself seemed a few years younger, no longer having to bear so much pressure, so her laughter rang out nonstop.
Jiang Feng and Bai Zhiqing set their things down on the beach, and Jiang Feng called to the three girls who were laughing and splashing about: "Donât swim too far out. This stretch of beach isnât a proper bathing areaâup ahead is already close to deep sea."
"Got it~"
Mo Zixun gave a reply but didnât take it too seriously; she was in the middle of a great swim.
"Master, Sister Zhiqing, let me help you tidy up, then weâll go down to play together in a bit!"
At this moment Feng Yueji had come ashore and spoke to Jiang Feng and Bai Zhiqing with a bright smile.
She was already an extraordinarily stunning beauty; now, as she rose gracefully from the water, she was like a lotus emerging from the pond, or even more like the legendary wet-bodied mermaidâher allure to men multiplied several times over. On top of that, the swimsuit clinging tight after being soaked only made her proud curves look more perky, inexplicably making Jiang Fengâs throat itch with a dry cough.
But Jiang Feng still pretended to be all "see no evil," and with the help of Feng Yueji and Bai Zhiqing, he first set up the grill, arranged the charcoal, and laid out the ingredientsâonly the tent was left unpitched.
Even so, the three of them broke into a sweat doing just that little bit of work. Bai Zhiqing lightly brushed a lock of hair aside and said, "Xiao Feng, leave the rest for later. Letâs go down and cool off too?"
"Alright."
Jiang Feng was already a bit distracted, and this gave him the perfect excuse to slip away.
They say men and women working together donât get tired; he was increasingly convinced that was nonsense!
Theyâd only done a bit of work together just now and he was more exhausted than from anything else; beauty as a feast for the eyes can really test a man sometimes.
Right then, Jiang Feng took a deep breath, dropped what he was doing, and walked toward the sea with the two women.
The seawater was actually slightly cool, and the farther in they went, the cooler it got. The chill against his skin felt indescribably comfortable.
He led Bai Zhiqing and Feng Yueji out a ways. At first the water wasnât very deep; their feet were firmly on the ground and their chests were still above the surface.
But going a bit farther, it indeed became unpredictable in depth.
Suddenly, Mo Zixun and Su Xiaoxiao, who had been playing ahead, swam over. Mo Zixun let out a silver-bell laugh: "Brother Feng, you finally came downâtake this!"
Then, with both hands she slapped the water, sending up a huge spray that splashed all over the three of them.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao immediately joined in and launched her own "attack" at the trio.
"You two little vixens, you come here and just start running wild, huh?"
Bai Zhiqing giggled as she retaliated right away, scooping up seawater and gently splashing it at the two girls.
Feng Yueji of course joined in to help, and in no time the four women were fully into the game. Water flew, pale limbs flashedâit was an indescribably alluring scene.
Jiang Feng was just there to play along; he couldnât really roughhouse with them. Even though he got splashed the worst, he barely fought back at all.
So in the end, the result was that he and Bai Zhiqing were forced to retreat step by step. Even Feng Yueji defected, laughing as she splashed water at Bai Zhiqing, making Bai Zhiqing grumble coquettishly again and again, yet there was nothing she could do.
Very quickly, as a married young woman, she had no strength to fight back. She was actually forced to hide behind Jiang Feng, and simply wrapped both arms around Jiang Fengâs solid waist, pressing her face to his back, using him as a human shield.
She found this game pretty nice after allâat the very least she had another perfectly legitimate excuse to get affectionate with Jiang Feng.
And when Mo Zixun and the other two saw that Bai Zhiqing was being so shameless, managing to openly cling to Jiang Feng in the middle of playing, each of them couldnât help but feel a subtle little twinge in their hearts.
So, during the next round of horsing around, they all started to hold back too, deliberately or otherwise imitating Bai Zhiqing. Giggling, they came over to Jiang Fengâs side, grabbed him to use as a shield, and enjoyed the feeling of skin-on-skin contact.
With that, Jiang Feng was really "suffering." He had never expected that being in the water would be even more torturous than staying on shore. The four women were treating him like public property, and were just short of groping him all over.
Jiang Feng wiped the water from his face. "Alright, Iâm done fooling around with you. Iâve cooled off enoughâIâm going up to set up the tent."
"Iâll help you~"
Hearing this, Bai Zhiqing immediately wanted to go with Jiang Feng again. The gentle seawater lapped at her full, plump chest, almost making Jiang Fengâs vision blur.
"Ahem, no need. You girls just playâI can handle it myself!"
Jiang Feng hurriedly turned and swam back to shore, fleeing this place of right and wrong.
Bai Zhiqing naturally felt a bit disappointed. She didnât reject the idea of sharing Jiang Feng with her close sisters, but from the bottom of her heart she hoped that this game could keep goingâthen they could keep holding onto Jiang Feng.
"Sister Zhiqing, even if Brother Feng wonât play with us, we can still play. I just saw lots of pretty little fish in the water over thereâletâs swim over and take a look~" Mo Zixun was having a blast today and said with a grin.
"Okay."
Bai Zhiqing put away her reluctant feelings and continued throwing herself into relaxation.
...
Back on the beach, Jiang Feng took quite a bit of effort to calm his mind before he started pitching the tent.
The camping tent didnât look big, but once it was spread out it was actually quite large, about the size of a minivanâalmost like a one-bedroom.
And he hadnât gone along when they bought it, so he had no idea what the four women were thinkingâtheyâd actually only bought one tent!!!
One tent meant that if they really camped tonight, heâd be forced to sleep with the four of them in it; otherwise he could only sleep alone in the car, and there was no way the four of them would agree to that!
This was a headache. Just horsing around in the water with them had already worn him out. If they ended up sleeping in the same tent... Jiang Feng didnât even dare imagine that scene.
Just then, he suddenly heard a startled cry from out at sea: "Crap, my leg cramped up!"
Jiang Feng snapped his head up. In the time heâd spent working on the tent, the four women had already swum out very far. Hadnât he warned them not to go into the deep-water area?
Deep water didnât just mean it was deep; it also meant the water temperature dropped sharply. A personâs body temperature couldnât adapt all at onceâgetting a cramp was practically expected!
The other three heard the cry and tried to go over to help, only to realize they couldnât touch the bottom at allâthe four of them had no idea how far out theyâd already swum.
Whatâs more, the water temperature here greatly restricted their physical functions, making their muscles contract; they were already getting signs of cramps too. If all four of them sank at once, that would be bad!
