You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

Looking at the blacked-out phone screen, Lu Ci shook his head and smiled.

Since Jiang Xinyue was just idling around, Lu Ci picked up his phone and opened a used car trading platform.

The side quest issued by the system required him to own his own off-road vehicle and then drive across the grasslands.

But the reality is that he's currently short of money.

The resort project has just been taken over, and all subsequent construction, landscaping, and labor costs will require money.

Buying a brand new Mercedes-Benz G-Class or Raptor at this time is obviously not realistic.

But if we don't complete this mission, we'll miss this great opportunity for a road trip on the grasslands, and this side mission will probably be put on hold indefinitely.

Therefore, a used SUV has become his best option at present.

Lu Ci browsed through the platform for a while, and his eyes finally landed on a black Tank 300.

The car looks nice, and the resale price is well within his budget.

However, after thinking about it, Lu Ci decided to leave the matter to someone who knew the business.

He sent Chen Feng a message, asking him to see if any of his friends had sold this car.

The message had just been sent when Jiang Xinyue called.

"Come out and greet me." Only four simple words came from the other end of the phone.

Lu Ci got up and walked out of the suite.

The old gatekeeper, wearing a military overcoat, stood dutifully guarding the place.

Outside the gate, Jiang Xinyue stood quietly in the night.

She wore a fitted black spaghetti strap maxi dress tonight.

The sea breeze blew her slightly curled, burgundy hair and the hem of her black skirt.

There were several bulging plastic bags at her feet.

Lu Ci strode over and greeted the gatekeeper: "Sir, this is my friend."

The old man smiled and looked the two of them up and down, then chuckled and turned back into the prefabricated house, muttering to himself, "Young people... they're so hot-tempered..."

Jiang Xinyue watched Lu Ci walk over, then crossed her arms over her chest, pressing down on her ample bosom: "What are you standing there for? Carry the things."

Lu Ci smiled and bent down to pick up the bags on the ground.

He glanced down and saw that inside were packaged barbecue and two cases of beer.

"It's harder than climbing to heaven to have a meal with our super-busy celebrity Lu," Jiang Xinyue joked as she walked into the resort in her flat sandals.

She came here several times in the past few days to conduct on-site inspections in order to evaluate the project.

She, an outsider, is now more familiar with the terrain and routes of the entire park than Lu Ci, the boss.

"Shall we go sit on the beach for a while?" Jiang Xinyue suggested without turning her head.

"Okay." Lu Ci followed behind, carrying a heavy bag of late-night snacks. "As compensation for breaking my promise, you're the boss tonight. You can do whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue suddenly stopped and turned around.

She deliberately moved closer to Lu Ci, tilting her exquisite face upwards, her eyes gleaming with a cunning light in the night, her voice low and seductive: "Really... I can do whatever I want?"

Feeling her warm breath so close to his nose, and smelling the faint scent of perfume around him, Lu Ci couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at her deliberately provocative expression.

"Senior, I didn't hit you when you apologized to me on the side of the road last time." Lu Ci lowered his head slightly, staring into her eyes: "If you dare to flirt with me so brazenly again tonight, I'm really going to beat you up."

Instead of backing down, she defiantly puffed out her chest, parted her red lips slightly, and uttered words that sent shivers down one's spine:

"Please, use, force~"

Before Lu Ci could react, Jiang Xinyue, like a smug fox, giggled and turned around, walking briskly towards the beach.

Lu Ci stood there stunned for a second, staring at the swaying black figure, and couldn't help but laugh and curse:

"Fairy..."

……

The two arrived at the beach and sat down on a mat on the sand.

Not far away, the waves were rolling, and the sea breeze was blowing on my face, bringing a rare sense of comfort.

Jiang Xinyue unpacked the barbecue and arranged it properly.

Lu Ci then used one hand to pry open the tabs of two cans of chilled beer and handed one of them over.

"Cheers!"

The two aluminum cans gently bumped together.

Jiang Xinyue tilted her head back and took a big gulp of ice-cold beer.

She put down the wine jug, looked at the deep sea before her, and her eyes gradually became somewhat hazy and nostalgic: "Hey, Lu Ci, do you still remember the year you first got into Jiang University? I was your class's teaching assistant back then. Your class monitor even specially invited me to the class reunion after the freshman military training."

Lu Ci took a bite of the grilled lamb skewer, and his memories were pulled back to that era.

"Of course I remember," Lu Ci recalled with a smile. "That night you insisted on going for a spin, and you managed to get all the boys in our class drunk under the table. In the end, you got drunk yourself and couldn't even stand up. I had to carry you all the way back to the girls' dormitory."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue suddenly turned her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Ci, her tone carrying a hint of scrutiny:

"Then tell me the truth! On the way home that night, did you secretly take advantage of me?"

Seeing her serious expression, Lu Ci deliberately feigned a look of lingering enjoyment and teased her, "With such a stunningly beautiful woman drunk and clinging to my back, how could I not take advantage of the situation?"

"That's a lie."

Jiang Xinyue pouted: "I wasn't actually drunk at all back then, I was just a little tipsy and wanted to find an excuse to slip away. I didn't force you to drink, and I asked you to take me home because you were the most honest one in the class."

Lu Ci was slightly taken aback.

But looking back, when I first entered university, most boys had the desire but not the courage, and were even nervous about holding hands with their girlfriends.

To say he was honest back then is absolutely true.

Jiang Xinyue moved closer to Lu Ci, bringing the two of them a little closer together.

Fueled by the alcohol, she carefully examined Lu Ci's eyes, which were even clearer than they had been in college.

"I just never expected..." Jiang Xinyue sighed, "That honest and handsome young man from before has turned out to be so bad."

She leaned close to Lu Ci's ear, her breath sweet as orchids: "Tell your senior, how many girls have you bullied over the years?"

"Uh..." Lu Ci deliberately dragged out his words, pretending to think seriously, "This number is a bit huge, let me count it properly..."

"Go to hell!" Jiang Xinyue rolled her eyes in annoyance, shoved him away, raised the beer can in her hand, and loudly announced, "Tonight I'm going to make up for what I regretted back then and get you completely drunk."

The two chatted as they faced the cool sea breeze.

The atmosphere was extremely harmonious, the beer was quickly finished, but only half of the barbecue was eaten.

At this time.

Suddenly, without warning, a blinding flash of lightning illuminated the previously calm sea.

The lightning bolt, like a giant crack, forcefully tore through the thick night sky.

A moment later, a deafening clap of thunder rolled down from overhead.

Immediately afterwards, before anyone had a chance to react, a torrential downpour began.

The rain was incredibly heavy, as if someone was standing on your head and pouring buckets of water down on you.

In just a moment, the two people sitting on the beach were completely soaked.

The sudden downpour left both of them stunned.

Lu Ci wiped the rain off his face and prepared to take her to the suite to avoid the rain.

Jiang Xinyue's cheeks were flushed with a charming blush under the influence of alcohol.

She suddenly stood up from the beach, opened her arms, tilted her head back, and started spinning around in the downpour without any restraint.

The long black dress, soaked by the rain, clung tightly to her body, outlining her graceful curves.

She closed her eyes, letting the heavy rain wash over her face, and let out a bright laugh.

Lu Ci sat on the beach, motionless.

He just watched quietly as Jiang Xinyue twirled freely in the rain, laughing like a child.

At this moment, time seemed to overlap.

Before Lu Ci's eyes, it seemed as if he could see that senior from that year again, who was decisive, always full of energy, and as dazzling as a little sun.
