Chapter 116
Chapter 116
Lan Yuxi thought carefully. Back then, Qi Lin had also tricked her into giving him her first kiss. Then, using a subtle and gradual approach, he hugged and kissed her daily. Not only that, but he constantly provoked her with his words, making her mentality collapse.
In the end, Lan Yuxi realized that this darkened version of Qi Lin was flawless—there was no way to outmatch him. If she didn't join his villainous camp, she would be played to death sooner or later. Since she couldn’t beat him, she had no choice but to join him.
Thinking about it from another angle...
If Qi Lin had forcibly taken her innocence the first time, what would she have done? A girl as pure as she was, experiencing such inhumane treatment for the first time, would have likely been unable to bear it. She would have either taken a knife to perish together with Qi Lin or jumped off a rooftop to end her tainted existence.
At this moment, Lan Yuxi finally understood why Qi Lin had taken things step by step. So it turned out... he was giving her time to adjust.
Thinking of this, Lan Yuxi looked at Qi Lin with both love and hate. She had always wanted to find someone she loved and who loved her in return to spend a lifetime with. But in the end, she was forced to become the girlfriend of a notorious playboy.
Yet, the irony was that she had now fallen for Qi Lin’s villainous charm and couldn’t pull herself away.
As they chatted, a bright orange MINI car stopped in front of them.
A tall woman with long, slender legs stepped out of the car, dressed in a black uniform-style skirt with sheer black stockings."Sister Yan Yan, you got a new car again?" Qi Lin stepped forward with a smile.
"Sister Yan Yan, hello! I'm Lan Yuxi, Qi Lin’s classmate. It’s a pleasure to meet you!" Lan Yuxi greeted her cheerfully.
"My old BMW broke down, and I haven't had time to buy a new one yet, so I’m just using this one for now," Yan Yan said with a smile, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Nice to meet you too, little sister."
Being young and beautiful was truly a blessing.
Looking at Lan Yuxi—cheerful, adorable, and just as gorgeous as herself—Yan Yan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. At the same time, Lan Yuxi also admired Yan Yan’s graceful demeanor, stunning looks, and perfect figure.
"Even though Qi Lin is a bit of a scumbag, I have to admit, his taste is impeccable. Every girl he flirts with is top-tier," Lan Yuxi thought. "If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be able to resist this big sister either."
"By the way, didn’t you say several female classmates were coming? Why are there only the two of you?" Yan Yan suddenly noticed something was off.
That was just an excuse Qi Lin used to fool Yan Yan and make her let her guard down.
"They suddenly had family matters to attend to and said they'd come next weekend instead," Qi Lin explained. "Honestly, when too many people go together, it’s not as fun. There are too many conflicting opinions. Just the three of us is perfect."
Yan Yan didn’t think too much about it and simply nodded. "Shall we go in now?" she asked, her pretty face showing a hint of excitement.
She had been wanting to have a carefree, thrilling day like this for years.
"We can go in anytime, but Sister Yan Yan, are you really planning to wear that outfit to play?" Qi Lin looked her up and down with a teasing smile.
The black fitted blazer, uniform skirt, and high heels made Yan Yan look stunning, but all the attractions involved getting wet. If her clothes got soaked, those men around would definitely get an eyeful.
"I… I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to buy a swimsuit," Yan Yan said, blushing in embarrassment.
"We already expected that! Sister Yan Yan, I'll take you to buy one," Lan Yuxi giggled, hooking her arm around Yan Yan’s and leading her to a swimsuit shop inside the amusement park.
Five minutes later...
"I’ve picked one. I’ll go with this," Yan Yan said.
She had chosen a conservative one-piece swimsuit with knee-length shorts, covering most of her skin except for her arms and legs.
Qi Lin glanced at her selection and immediately shot Lan Yuxi a look.
This swimsuit was way too conservative—he wouldn’t get to enjoy any eye candy at all!
Lan Yuxi caught his hint and responded with a sly emoji-like expression.
"Wow, Sister Yan Yan, are you secretly hiding your age?" Lan Yuxi teased. "Qi Lin told me you just graduated from college, so you should only be in your early twenties. Why are you picking something a forty- or fifty-year-old woman would wear?"
"Don’t tell me… you have some flaws on your body and don’t want people to see them?"
A woman’s greatest weakness was having her appearance, figure, or age questioned.
At the same time, Yan Yan assumed that Qi Lin hadn’t told Lan Yuxi about her marriage to avoid making her feel uncomfortable. After all, what married woman would go out to play with another man like this?
Thinking of this, Yan Yan gave Qi Lin a grateful look.
Since Lan Yuxi didn’t know she was married, wearing something this conservative did seem a little odd.
"I... I’ve never worn a swimsuit before, so I didn’t know how to choose. Yuxi, why don’t you pick one for me?" Yan Yan said, a little embarrassed.
"Leave it to me!" Lan Yuxi shot Qi Lin a confident look before picking out a swimsuit.
Soon, she returned with a short, strappy dress-style swimsuit.
Yan Yan, who looked no older than her early twenties, actually suited the youthful design quite well. The swimsuit was neither overly revealing like a bikini nor too stiff like a full-body suit. Instead, it perfectly highlighted her graceful figure.
"Isn't this… a bit too bold?" Yan Yan hesitated.
She was used to elegant, formal outfits. Seeing this youthful swimsuit made her face flush with shyness.
"Oh, come on, Sister Yan Yan! Looking good is all that matters. Can’t you see how someone’s eyes have already gone blank?" Lan Yuxi teased, glancing at Qi Lin.
"Don’t you enjoy seeing such an admiring gaze? It’s a compliment to your figure!"
"Come on, let's go. I’ll help you tie the straps inside the fitting room!"
Before Yan Yan could protest, Lan Yuxi pushed her inside.
As she stepped in, Yan Yan stole a glance at Qi Lin and saw that he was indeed staring at the swimsuit. Her heart fluttered with embarrassment, and she gave up on changing to a different one.
Her smooth back, long, slender legs, and the youthful, woven sandals on her feet…
At this moment, Yan Yan didn’t look like a married woman at all—she looked like a stunning young beauty in her early twenties.
At that moment, an announcement played over the speakers.
"The wave pool will start its first wave at nine o’clock! Visitors, please head over now! Enjoy exciting music, energetic dances, and plenty of handsome guys and beautiful girls waiting for you!"
Where was the best part of the amusement park?
Wasn’t it obvious?
Of course, it was the wave pool!
With each crashing wave, everyone would be lifted off their feet.
Husbands would end up riding on strangers' shoulders.
Strangers would hold onto each other’s wives.
Nobody knew who was who—it was thrilling beyond words!
"Let’s go! The wave pool is starting!"
Qi Lin grabbed both girls by the hand and headed toward the pool.
Feeling Qi Lin’s warm grip, Yan Yan instinctively wanted to pull away, but when she saw Lan Yuxi looking completely happy and relaxed, she hesitated.
"Everyone else is so casual about it. If I act all reserved, won’t I stand out too much?"
With that thought, Yan Yan gave up on resisting.
See? Qi Lin had brought Lan Yuxi along precisely for this reason—to make things seem normal and lower Yan Yan’s guard.
And it was working like a charm.
"Isn't this a bit too intimate?"
"They’re just classmates. Wouldn’t this seem too strange?"
"Sister Yan Yan, having fun is the most important thing when you go out to play. Look at everyone around us, isn't everyone doing the same?"
Lan Yuxi had already guessed what Yan Yan was thinking and gestured toward the people around them.
Yan Yan looked around and noticed that every pair consisting of a man and a woman was in the same position as Qi Lin, as if this posture prevented them from choking on water.
If it were children, they would be hiding in their parents’ arms.
Only she was standing there alone, looking silly.
"Sister Yan Yan, come on, hurry up. I'm big enough to hold two people at once, no problem at all."
Qi Lin grinned as he opened his arms, extending an invitation.
But Yan Yan was a mature woman. How could she so easily let go of her psychological barriers?
"I-I think I’ll just manage on my own. As long as I pinch my nose and keep my mouth shut, I won’t choke on water, right?"
Yan Yan asked Qi Lin again.
Seeing her reluctance, Qi Lin didn't force the issue.
For beginners in the wave pool, it was impossible to learn how to handle the waves without choking a dozen times first.
Once Yan Yan experienced the fear of drowning, let’s see if she would still insist on doing it her way.
Qi Lin smiled and nodded. "Yes, just pinch your nose and keep your mouth shut, and you'll be fine."
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Whoa! Here comes the wave!"
On the stage, the host cheered excitedly.
As he shouted, a massive deep blue wave surged forward, crashing down toward the sea of people.
"Ah!!!"
Screams echoed everywhere.
Qi Lin smiled, holding onto Lan Yuxi, who was clinging to him like a koala, with one arm, while grabbing Yan Yan’s arm with the other.
He didn’t want her getting swept away by the wave and ending up in another man’s arms.
That would be a huge loss—he hadn’t even taken advantage of the situation yet!
Anyone who had played in a wave pool before knew the fear of being hit by a wave, feeling like a rootless floating plant.
For those who couldn't swim, at first, they could still hold their noses, but once they were engulfed by the water, panic would take over. They’d instinctively let go of their noses to scream—
And that was when water would rush into their nasal passages and mouths, leading to a choking sensation.
The sudden stinging pain, the fiery burn in the windpipe, the violent coughing—
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Yan Yan was now experiencing exactly that.
She had been pushed over ten meters away, and when she finally reached the shallow zone, she was still lying there, her delicate face filled with fear.
Qi Lin pulled her up by the arm.
"Wow! Hahaha! This is so exciting! So this is what a wave pool is like?"
Lan Yuxi, having obediently followed Qi Lin’s instructions, clung tightly to his neck with one hand and pinched her nose with the other.
The sensation of being submerged and drifting with the waves was simply amazing.
Yan Yan, on the other hand, wasn’t so lucky. The choking sensation had made her feel as if she were about to drown.
"Haha, wasn't that first big wave thrilling? Wasn’t it fun?"
"Alright, everyone, in three minutes, the second wave will be coming!"
The host laughed heartily from above.
"Sister Yan Yan, let's go to the deeper area quickly! The second wave is coming!"
Lan Yuxi grinned and tried to pull Yan Yan toward the deeper area.
But Yan Yan’s voice was trembling, almost crying. "No, I don't want to play anymore! I choked on water just now—I thought I was going to drown! You guys go ahead, I’ll stay here and rest."
Hearing that, Lan Yuxi pouted. "Sister Yan Yan, aren’t you being too timid? How can you be more scared than me, a little girl? This wave pool is so much fun, and there are even more exciting activities later. How are you going to handle them if you're already afraid now?"
Yan Yan, still shaken from fear, lost control of her emotions. "Of course, you're not scared! You had Qi Lin holding you! I got hit by the wave and nearly drowned—do you even realize that?"
Lan Yuxi had been waiting for Yan Yan to say this.
She immediately shoved Qi Lin toward Yan Yan and smirked. "Here, I’ll let you have Qi Lin. I’ll play on my own. If you still don’t dare to go in, I’ll seriously look down on you."
Yan Yan: "..."
This was the first time she had been mocked by a younger girl.
Since Lan Yuxi had already put it that way, could she still refuse? If she did, how would she even show her face later?
Biting her lip, Yan Yan hesitated.
"Ah!"
But in the next second, Qi Lin scooped her up into a princess carry and strode toward the deep area.
"You women are always so indecisive. The waves are coming soon. If we don’t get there in time, are you just going to stand by and watch others play?"
Now that there was no turning back, Yan Yan shyly wrapped her arms around Qi Lin’s neck, clinging to him like a lifeline.
"Hurry up. You’re not holding on properly. Copy how Yuxi did earlier—hold onto my neck and waist tightly. Otherwise, the wave will knock you over."
Upon reaching the deeper area, Qi Lin guided Yan Yan.
"Oh~"
Still traumatized from choking earlier, Yan Yan obediently followed his instructions like a well-behaved child.
But once she finished adjusting her position, she buried her face in Qi Lin’s chest, her cheeks flushed red.
This was way too intimate!
She suddenly realized that she had walked right into a trap—this wave pool was totally a couples’ game!
"Huh?"
But soon, Yan Yan sensed something was off.
Why did it suddenly feel so crowded?
Curious, she turned her head—only to find that Lan Yuxi had also nestled into Qi Lin’s embrace. Now, Qi Lin was holding one girl in each arm.
"I-I’m still a little scared, Sister Yan Yan. You don’t mind sharing one of Qi Lin’s arms with me, right?"
Lan Yuxi’s cheeks were flushed as she spoke shyly.
"Pfft~"
Seeing Lan Yuxi like this, Yan Yan couldn’t hold back her laughter.
So much for acting all tough earlier—she really thought Lan Yuxi was fearless.
Turns out, she was just as scared to play alone in the wave pool.
At this moment, Yan Yan let go of her awkwardness and, for the first time, fully enjoyed herself.
But what she didn’t realize was that, behind her back, Lan Yuxi gave Qi Lin an "OK" gesture.
Yan Yan had no idea that today, she wasn’t just dealing with Qi Lin as a trickster—
She was up against two perfectly coordinated schemers.
And their plan was flawless.
If she still didn’t fall into their trap today, it would only prove that her willpower was ridiculously strong.
"Ahhh!"
The second wave hit, and both Yan Yan and Lan Yuxi screamed in unison, clinging tightly to Qi Lin.
The sensation—it was absolute ecstasy for Qi Lin.
After the second wave subsided, Yan Yan’s face was brimming with excitement. "Wow, you’re right! As long as I hold onto Qi Lin and pinch my nose, I won’t choke! This wave pool is amazing!"
Seeing that Yan Yan had fully relaxed, Qi Lin and Lan Yuxi exchanged a knowing smile.
Qi Lin then took the two beauties through three more waves.
But when it came to deciding who got to be in Qi Lin’s arms, a conflict arose.
They decided to settle it with a game of rock-paper-scissors.
Yan Yan was delighted—she won all three rounds, earning the exclusive "koala hug" privilege.
What she didn’t know was that Lan Yuxi had lost on purpose.
"The wave pool session has ended. The next session will begin at 1 PM."
As the pool shut down, Yan Yan looked like she still wanted more.
