4204 The Other Side 173

The five of them chatted as they enjoyed the sea breeze. There was no deliberate search for a topic, nor did they try hard to maintain the atmosphere. Everyone just enjoyed the sea breeze and quietly enjoyed the silence of the night.

Perhaps this was what a vacation should be like, in the purest sense.

…

The five of them drank in silence, enjoying the sea breeze. It was late before they dispersed.

Yun Shishi wanted to try parasailing. Chu He, on the other hand, wanted to snorkel, so they agreed to meet at the beach first thing in the morning.

Therefore, in the early hours of the morning, Yun Shishi woke up excitedly, applied sunscreen, changed into a swimsuit, and went to the beach. Chu He was already there, waiting.

Yun Shishi was surprised that Chu He was up before her.

Chu He replied, "I got up in the early hours."

"Why so early?"

"It's the first time I've watched the sunrise from the beach.'

"Sunrise?!" Yun Shishi was instantly envious to hear this! How could she have forgotten?!

She chided the other woman, "Why didn't you wake me?"

"I don't have your cell phone number. It would be embarrassing to knock on your door early in the morning and catch the both of you being intimate." Chu He was a straightforward person. If she had something to say, she would just say it.

Yun Shishi turned red and retorted, "Hey, don't talk nonsense!"

"What's wrong with that?"

Chu He got onto her feet and said, "The coach will be here soon. Let's just wait here for a while."

Yun Shishi looked at her then, and suddenly realized in surprise that the woman was in a one-piece bathing suit and all wrapped up.

"Why… are you dressed so conservatively?"

Chu He replied, "Eh? What's wrong with the swimsuit?"

"You're in great shape. Don't you think it's a shame you're wrapped up so tightly?" As she spoke, she turned to Chu He. "I have an additional bathing suit with me. It's new and unused. Why don't you try it on?"

"No, thanks. This one of mine is pretty good."

"Try it! I've never even seen you show your figure!" Ignoring Chu He's protests, she took the woman's hand and led her towards the villa.

Once they were in the villa, she unwrapped the new package in Chu He's presence, and drew out the new bathing suit.

Chu He saw that it was actually in a floral print!

"Floral print?" She hesitated.

Yun Shishi nodded. "Yes, this is very girly. It's beautiful! I liked it so much that I bought many of the same in one go. Will you try it?"

Chu He shook her head. "I can't. It doesn't suit me…" The swimsuit she was wearing was a solid black one. She only liked such plain styles. The floral print felt too girlish… Chu He shook her head again. "It doesn't feel right to me."

As Yun Shishi reached for the woman's shirt, she muttered, "Wouldn't it be a shame not to show your good figure?" As she spoke, she lifted Chu He's clothes. At once, the sculpted lines on Chu He's abdomen were revealed. When Yun Shishi saw this, she was terrified!

Chu He saw her expression and became uneasy too. "What's the matter?"

"My god… is that a vest line?"

Chu He looked startled. "I guess you can call it that?"

"Haven't you had three children…?"

"Yes, indeed."

"Well then…" Dazed, Yun Shishi asked, "How did you recover so quickly?"

Chu He thought for a moment, and recalled, "I remember the vest line was always there. Even when I was nine months pregnant, the vest line was obvious."
