What are you doing, Mr. President? I'm just an extra!

The sun on the private beach was a little too intense.

But he was nowhere near as enthusiastic as Shen Weilan.

She splashed around in the shallow water, her swimsuit, made of a few ropes, swaying in the water.

It's practically testing Newton's second law.

"Brother Lu~"

"Come over and play!"

She scooped up a handful of water and splashed it at Lu Li, laughing so hard she was shaking.

The two mounds of white flesh swayed with the movement.

Lu Li kept his eyes straight ahead.

He felt a gaze watching him from behind.

Su Feiyan was lying on the unicorn-shaped floating platform, swirling a glass of champagne in her hand.

His eyes were cool.

If I can't afford to offend them, I'll avoid them.

Lu Li took a deep breath and plunged into the water.

[Top-Tier Swimming Mastery] Triggered.

He was like a slippery fish underwater.

With a swing of his legs, he instantly darted more than ten meters.

The world is quiet now.

There was only the sound of gurgling water.

And those restless eyes, they saw it underwater...

Ok.

It's all legs.

"what!"

A sudden cry of surprise came from the water, followed by an exaggerated splashing sound.

"Help!"

"Brother-in-law! I can't take it anymore!"

"My leg is cramping!"

Shen Weilan floated up and down in the water.

He waved his hands wildly, shouting for help, but his eyes were fixed on the spot where Lu Li had appeared.

She even deliberately puffed out her chest.

Lu Li surfaced, wiped the water off his face, and remained expressionless.

【cramp?】

[You're kidding me.]

Who can keep their instep perfectly straight even when they have a leg cramp?

With such ballet skills, it's a shame she's not performing in "Swan Lake."

If I went over there, she'd cling to me like an octopus the next second and give me CPR.

Shen Weilan froze, her flailing arms awkwardly hanging in mid-air.

Were you seen through?

That straight man is such a jerk!

There's absolutely no fun in it!

Su Feiyan let out a soft snort on the raft, took a sip of champagne, and was in a good mood.

Just then, an undercurrent surged in the sea.

Just as Lu Li was about to make a sarcastic remark, his foot slipped, and he was uncontrollably swept towards the deeper water on the other side.

The water temperature here has dropped sharply.

"Bang."

He bumped into something underwater.

It was soft, but cold.

Lu Li subconsciously reached out and grabbed it.

Upon touching it, I found a slender waist that could be encircled with one hand, with incredibly delicate skin, yet frighteningly cold.

Followed by.

The "ice block" seemed to sense the heat source and suddenly moved.

The instinct for survival overwhelmed reason, and Gu Qingcheng felt like she was about to freeze to death.

The Nine Yin Cold Meridian may have been triggered by the cold water temperature, causing it to flare up underwater, with the limbs and bones completely sealed off by the cold air.

Just as my consciousness was fading, a warm embrace came crashing into me.

It's like a fireplace in winter, or a spring in the desert.

She clung to him without hesitation, wrapping her arms tightly around Lu Li's neck.

Her long, slender legs wrapped directly around his waist.

I wish I could melt myself into that burning hot body.

"Splash!"

The two emerged from the water.

Lu Li was panting heavily.

Before I could even see what was happening, I felt two soft, cool bumps against my chest.

And... this posture.

Isn't that a bit too exciting?

Gu Qingcheng's aloof and stunningly beautiful face was now right under his nose, pale as paper.

Water droplets clung to her eyelashes, causing them to tremble slightly.

Her lips, frozen purple, were unconsciously rubbing against the back of his neck, seeking warmth.

Lu Li froze.

[Awarded Best Actress?]

【What...what kind of design is this?】

[Will they welcome you with open arms? Or is it a deeply entrenched and complex situation?]

[It feels great... but why does it feel like I'm holding an ice pop?]

[Wait a minute! Su Feiyan is still watching from behind!]

[Oh no, oh no, this is hopeless! There's no way to clear my name now.]

"Honey, let me explain! She hit me first!"

Gu Qingcheng's body trembled, and a sense of shame rushed to her head.

Intertwined... tangled?

What is that bastard thinking?!

She wanted to let go, but her body wouldn't obey her commands.

The cold poison hadn't subsided, and she truly couldn't move.

She could only bury her face even deeper, hiding in Lu Li's arms like an ostrich, pretending to be a mere accessory.

"Oh."

A cold laugh.

Su Feiyan arrived in a floating raft at some point, looking down at them from above.

Take off your sunglasses.

A storm was brewing in those peach blossom eyes, and his gaze swept over the area where the two were pressed together.

"Assistant Lu."

"You're really good at this."

She glanced at Gu Qingcheng, who was clinging to Lu Li.

His tone was playful, yet it concealed a murderous intent.

"You want to build a harem on this island?"

Shen Weilan swam over too, her cheeks puffed out in anger.

He kept slapping the water with both hands, splashing water everywhere.

"Gu Qingcheng!"

"Have you no shame?!"

"That's my...brother-in-law!"

"Get down quickly!"

"I was the one who pretended to have a cramp first! And you just grabbed it!"

"No martial ethics!"

Lu Li felt like the filling in a sandwich cookie.

She was caught in the middle, and had to bear the weight of the "ice block" in her arms.

"President Su, it's a misunderstanding!"

"A huge misunderstanding!"

"It seems Miss Gu's cold poison has flared up again!"

"She's almost frozen stiff!"

As Lu Li explained, he tried to pull Gu Qingcheng's legs off her waist.

But the woman's legs seemed to be welded to the wall, remaining completely still.

[Oh, ancestors, please loosen your grip!]

[And your legs... are so slippery and cold, they're making me really angry.]

Gu Qingcheng heard this and her face turned so red it was almost bleeding.

But the warmth of the body is too tempting.

The warm current flowed continuously into the meridians along the point of contact, suppressing the rampant cold poison.

She bit her lip, her voice barely audible, tinged with a trembling sob.

"Don't...don't push me away."

"cold……"

"Let's hug a little longer..."

"Please..."

That soft, pleading voice melted Lu Li's bones.

Su Feiyan glanced at Gu Qingcheng, who was burying her face and pretending to be dead, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

She noticed that something was wrong with Gu Qingcheng.

Her lips were deathly pale, and her shoulder, which was above the water, was trembling slightly; it didn't seem like she was faking it.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Su Feiyan turned around and rowed towards the shore.

"Carry him up."

"If something happens to her on my island..."

"Tomorrow's headline will be about the Su Group mistreating its artists."

"I can't bear the shame."

Lu Li felt as if he had been granted a general amnesty.

He lifted Gu Qingcheng's buttocks... no, her thighs, and carried her to the shore.

Gu Qingcheng remained hanging in front of him like a pendant.

Water droplets slid down their bodies.

We got ashore.

Lu Li placed Gu Qingcheng on the recliner.

Just as he was about to pull away, a small, cold hand gripped his wrist tightly.

Gu Qingcheng opened her eyes, revealing those usually aloof and proud eyes.

At this moment, the mist is thick, carrying a sense of dependence.

There is also a certain awakened desire.

"Don't go."

She looked at Lu Li, under Su Feiyan's murderous gaze.

He said something that silenced the entire room.

"I want more..."

"Warm and cozy."
