However, she quickly began to hesitate again. Although she knew in advance that they were coming to South Australia Island, she remembered it was already autumn. Assuming there was almost no chance of going into the ocean, she hadn’t packed a swimsuit at all.
Wenchu People turned to glance at Li Xiao, who was fiddling with the yacht at the pier, and whispered to the other two, “But I didn’t bring a swimsuit. Am I supposed to go into the water in my regular clothes? That would be way too weird.”
If the group had consisted entirely of girls, Wenchu People definitely wouldn’t have had this concern. But after all, Li Xiao was with them. Although Wenchu People appeared to be a carefree girl on the surface, she actually cared quite a bit about these kinds of things.
Hearing Wenchu People’s worries, Zhou Shishi quickly spoke up, “Don’t worry about the swimsuits. When I was driving earlier, I saw several shops selling them.
“I also didn’t expect the pool here to be heated, so I don’t have a swimsuit in my suitcase either. We can just buy a set later when we go out shopping.”
Hearing that swimsuits were sold nearby, a smile immediately appeared on Wenchu People’s face as she said, “That’s great! Let’s get going. This is my first time coming across such a massive private swimming pool.”
The three girls hurried over to Li Xiao with giggles and shared their plan. Li Xiao naturally had no objections. After all, the three ladies before him were all stunning beauties, each with her own unique charm. He certainly wouldn’t refuse the chance to go swimming with such gorgeous women.
Li Xiao made a call to bring back Mr. Xu, who had just left. Upon hearing the group’s request, Mr. Xu immediately smiled and said, “If you esteemed guests are just looking to buy swimsuits, we have quite a few at our visitor center.
“The visitor center isn’t far from the villa area; it takes just a minute to get there.”
Hearing that the hotel had swimsuits, the four naturally didn’t bother going out of their way to find a shop.
Hopping back onto the electric cart, they arrived at the visitor center.
Li Xiao casually picked out a pair of black swimming trunks. He didn’t have high standards for swimwear; as long as they were comfortable and fit well, that was enough.
The three girls, on the other hand, weren’t nearly as fast at making their selections. The reason was simple: while the visitor center did carry women’s swimwear, it wasn’t a specialized swimsuit shop. The styles were quite limited, almost exclusively consisting of bikinis. The few pieces that offered more coverage didn’t quite suit their figures.
Wenchu People looked at the pathetically small amount of fabric on the bikini in front of her, a hint of awkwardness flashing across her face. Growing up, she had basically only ever worn fully-covered one-piece swimsuits. She spoke in a voice barely above a whisper, “Why don’t we go check out the specialized swimsuit shops outside? This… this swimsuit seems a bit too revealing.”
Hearing her normally carefree cousin act so bashful, Wen Yaqian pondered the situation. She picked up the swimsuit that her cousin had just put back on the rack, stuffed it back into her hands, and said, “My dear cousin, what kind of nonsense are you saying?
“If you don’t show off your great figure while you’re young, are you going to wait until you’re old and out of shape to do it?
“Besides, I noticed earlier that the beach in front of our villa is sectioned off. There’s a wire fence in the distance, and it’s strictly for our villa’s use. You don’t have to worry about outsiders seeing you at all.”
Hearing Wen Yaqian’s words, Wenchu People looked down at the sky-blue bikini in her hands, feeling a bit moved. She reflected that she was already twenty-five, and in a few years, she would be thirty. Although she often had to run around for fieldwork—which had tanned her skin to a wheat-like bronze—her body proportions were still excellent. But who knew how many more years she could maintain such a figure?
Just as Wenchu People was debating whether to take a bold leap, Zhou Shishi, who had been the first to choose her swimsuit, pulled open the fitting room curtain.
Seeing Zhou Shishi step out, Wenchu People blinked, hardly daring to believe her eyes. Zhou Shishi usually dressed very formally; after all, she never forgot her role as an assistant. In her eyes, dressing too casually while working alongside Mr. Li would be inappropriate. Because of this, even though they spent time together every day, the other two girls had never realized that this little assistant had such a bombshell figure.
Wenchu People realized that if she wore a frumpy one-piece swimsuit next to a bikini-clad Zhou Shishi with her fiery figure, it would definitely be a case of an ugly duckling standing next to a swan.
In an instant, an inexplicable sense of competitiveness surged in Wenchu People’s heart. She wondered why she was hesitating so much when even Zhou Shishi dared to dress like that. All her shyness and modesty were instantly thrown out the window. Without any further hesitation, she grabbed the bikini and marched briskly into the fitting room.
Wen Yaqian looked at the closed fitting room door, finding the situation rather amusing. She had thought she would need to spend more time persuading her cousin, never expecting her to change her mind so quickly. Suppressing the smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, Wen Yaqian also took her swimsuit and entered a fitting room.
A moment later, Li Xiao, who had been scrolling through TikTok in the waiting area, suddenly stopped what he was doing. The three girls had emerged from the women’s locker room. The instant they appeared, they immediately grabbed his attention. For a moment, his gaze seemed glued to them.
The three bikini-clad girls before him each had their own unique allure. Zhou Shishi had a fiery figure, Wenchu People was tall and slender, and although Wen Yaqian was the shortest of the three, she was surprisingly well-endowed.
Zhou Shishi wore a pink bikini, her figure looking especially striking under the sunlight. Her curves, usually hidden beneath formal attire, were now fully on display, radiating a captivating glow.
The bikini Wenchu People wore was solid black, but her long, slender physique made the entire set look incredibly eye-catching.
Wen Yaqian’s bikini was the most colorful. However, rather than looking messy or overwhelming, the vibrant color scheme perfectly complemented her petite and cute frame, giving off an aura of boundless youthful energy.
Looking at the three girls in their bikinis, Li Xiao found himself momentarily speechless. His normally steady heartbeat unconsciously sped up a notch. However, having seen his fair share of the world in his past life, he snapped back to reality after only a brief moment of being stunned. Clearing his throat, he tried his best to maintain his usual composure and smiled at them.
“You all look absolutely stunning today. It’s a good thing there’s no one else around right now, or we’d probably be trapped in the visitor center, unable to leave.”
Hearing Li Xiao’s praise, the three girls couldn’t help but exchange glances and smile, their faces lighting up with happy, gratified expressions.
Without lingering in the visitor center for too long, the four quickly hopped back onto the electric cart. Mr. Xu was still very professional. Although he was visibly stunned when he saw the three girls, he immediately averted his gaze.
The electric cart soon arrived back at the villa, and Mr. Xu tactfully hurried off.
