The boy lying on the other sofa chair next to Lin Wanwan immediately jumped up like a carp when he saw Lu Shouyue approaching, smiling as he said, "I’m going to play some beach volleyball. Mr. Lu, please have a seat." Lu Shouyue nodded in thanks, "Thanks." Chen Jinyu watched Lu Shouyue speak brightly with Lin Wanwan for a couple of sentences, then lie down on the sofa chair next to her. Her expression shifted slightly, feeling inexplicably sour. Chen Jinyu’s feelings about being with Lin Wanwan were very complicated. Since she was young, she was both beautiful and extremely popular, always the center of attention, not because of her looks, but due to her lively personality and high emotional intelligence. She could directly retort others speechless when unhappy, and then immediately act cute and apologize, very flexible. Few people can resist the charms and apologies of a delicate beauty — regardless of gender, this is the added value that comes with good looks. But ever since meeting Lin Wanwan, her allure to those around her sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t. Although Chen Jinyu’s looks weren’t low either, plus some minor cosmetic adjustments, she could hold her own in the entertainment circle later on in terms of looks. Yet, in front of the almost flawless Lin Wanwan, she still appeared somewhat overshadowed. It was since college, everyone around them was always drawn to Lin Wanwan first. Lin Wanwan is the kind of presence that inadvertently makes those around her seem dull. Just like now, a supposedly equal, if not even more extravagant, super second-generation rich kid, Lu, is strutting around Lin Wanwan like a peacock spreading its feathers. Of course, Lin Wanwan probably hasn’t realized it yet. After all, people who guard stumps and wait for rabbits to crash into them can’t understand that waiting for rabbits is actually a low-probability event! Chen Jinyu took a big gulp of beer, slightly adjusted her expression, and walked towards Lin Wanwan. Check latest chapters at novel-fire.net At this moment, a blonde girl from the other side also walked over, pretending to accidentally bump into the arm Chen Jinyu was holding the beer with, causing it to spill. Fortunately, Chen Jinyu’s cocktail dress was halter-style and only knee-length, so it didn’t soak her dress. "Oh my, Little Chen, how can you walk , blocking people?" The blonde girl accusingly questioned first, flanked by two almost inseparable "followers". Chen Jinyu restrained herself, forcing a smile as she said, "Sorry." "Forget it, just be careful next time." The blonde girl rolled her eyes at Chen Jinyu and strutted away with her two followers. Chen Jinyu looked at their backs and exhaled a breath of turbid air, I endure! The blonde girl is named An Youqing, and the other two are her sycophantic followers. The four of them are trainees at the same company. The difference is that Chen Jinyu got in with unexpected online traffic, while An Youqing and the others had been practicing in the company for quite a while. Chen Jinyu vaguely heard that An Youqing has some connections, and after the three-month trainee training, she would definitely debut. Knowing that An Youqing has a background and has already taken a spot, smart as Chen Jinyu was, she naturally wouldn’t consider her an enemy to offend. But for some reason, An Youqing always seems to be at odds with her, picking on her intentionally. Ever since she got the company’s only spot to perform on stage with Xiao Junning, An Youqing had been sarcastically targeting her for nearly two weeks. After the New Year performance, she gained a huge wave of exposure, riding on Xiao Junning’s popularity and the zither music during the livestream, making An Youqing even more displeased when she saw her. But because of An Youqing’s background, Chen Jinyu could only tolerate it and endure. She quietly vowed that one day, she would become so famous that she’d leave these people in the dust, making them unworthy to even look up to her. On the other side, Lu Shouyue pulled a pair of sunglasses from his floral shirt and put them on his eyes, casually asking, "Wanwan, can you swim?" Lin Wanwan, also putting sunglasses on and looking up at the sky, smiled, "Yes, swimming was part of our middle school exam here. Sports scores were the easiest points to get, not daring to miss a single one." Lu Shouyue laughed, "Same here." At this moment, Chen Jinyu also walked over, squeezing onto Lin Wanwan’s beach chair, smiling as she asked, "What are you guys talking about? So happy." Lin Wanwan replied, "We were talking about the middle school swimming exam. Jinyu, did you have to take it?" Chen Jinyu said, "We didn’t have to. Although my hometown is not far from Yong City, it’s considered out of province." Lu Shouyue smiled slightly, "Wanwan, since we both got full marks for swimming in the middle school exam, why not go for a swim? There are changing rooms in the villa with many clean, freshly washed swimsuits to choose from. Want to take a dip? The sunset was hanging over the western sea, and the pool was no longer in the sunlight. Many people had already started changing into swimsuits and swimming. Lin Wanwan thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Forget it, let’s not." However, Chen Jinyu egged her on, "Oh come on, what do you mean forget it? Wanwan, if you don’t play in the water in Qiong Ya, you can’t say you’ve been here. Come on, everyone together." Lin Wanwan was about to refuse, but Chen Jinyu was already reaching out to tickle her, so she quickly stopped her hand and gave in, "Alright, let’s play for a while then." Chen Jinyu then smiled and asked Lu Shouyue, "Mr. Lu, where are the swimsuits kept here?" Lu Shouyue stood up tall, "I’ll take the two beauties there." The changing rooms in the villa are located in the closet area on the basement level. Despite being a basement, because the area in front of the house was excavated to create a very spacious open courtyard, the air wasn’t stuffy and the light was very ample. The three went into their respective gender-specific closets to pick out and change into swimsuits. Chen Jinyu was most proud of her slender waist and full bust, so she naturally chose a very sexy bikini. While Lin Wanwan wasn’t exactly an A-cup, she certainly wasn’t voluminous either, plus she was low-key and conservative in nature, she picked a more conservative, skirted, two-piece student-style maroon swimsuit. The two of them changed and walked out, locking eyes. Chen Jinyu immediately reached out to touch Lin Wanwan’s waist, sighing, "This is what you call fair skin, my gosh, how can someone be this white, even a Caucasian isn’t as white as you?" Looking at her, Lin Wanwan said, "Aren’t you white too? It’s the same." Chen Jinyu pretended to sigh, "I had to get whitening and skin boosters to maintain this complexion and texture, how can I compare with your naturally fair skin? Oh, Wanwan, I’m so envious of you." Lin Wanwan smiled, "You’re envious of your own stunning figure! You’re wearing such a hot bikini, you’ll definitely be the most dazzling girl around." Laughing and chatting, the two of them walked out of the basement and into the backyard.
