Sable slapped his mischievous hand away. "Let go! Let go!"
"Ahem… just a little massage. It's better this way, isn't it?"
Ye Li teased, lifting the thin strap on her waist with his fingertip.
"Or should I just untie this too? It's kinda in the way. If I take it off, I can massage you from neck to toe~"
"Get lost!" Sable snapped angrily.
But then, realizing she might've sounded too harsh, she crossed her arms over her chest and muttered, "I'm not doing this anymore… how about… I massage you instead?"
"Me?"
Ye Li was a bit surprised by her offer.
After thinking for a moment, he laid down on the lounge chair. "Alright, give it a try."
Since he was already in just his swim shorts, there was nothing for him to take off anyway.
"No turning around to peek, got it…" Sable warned as she rubbed some sunscreen onto her hands.
"Relax, I won't." Ye Li didn't play tricks on her this time—he really wanted to see what it felt like to have this beauty's gentle hands on his back.
"Then here I go…"
Sable looked over Ye Li's well-built back, but just as she was about to put her hands down, she paused, a mischievous thought crossing her mind. Slowly, she leaned down instead…
Ye Li, lying there, raised a brow: 'This soft sensation…'
'Is she… using that to rub?'
But, he didn't say a word...
....
The two of them understood each other without speaking.
As the waves kept crashing softly on the shore, Sable finally stood up and offered, "I don't feel like sunbathing anymore… how about we go play beach volleyball with your sister?"
"Oh…"
Ye Li nodded, though his eyes struggled to stay above her neckline…
….
"Mathilda, toss me a volleyball. I'm going to play with your brother for a bit."
Sable waved toward Mathilda~
"Oh…"
Mathilda, sharing her brother's dazed look, tossed the ball to Sable.
She actually wanted to say—Sis, don't you already have two balls of your own…
…..
"Alright, let's start~"
Sable shot Ye Li an ambiguous glance from across the net.
Ye Li nodded, understanding her intentions.
After all, isn't beach volleyball all about appreciating the "ball game"?
Since the beauty was being so generous, he focused all his attention on the "ball" and got serious about the game.
To be fair, with Ye Li suppressing his strength, Sable's volleyball skills were pretty solid—she could actually keep up with him.
Of course, his attention was also partially distracted by other things...
Bang!
Thump~!
Whoosh—
Clang!
[Beep———]
After a few rounds,
Ye Li's earpiece buzzed with a call from his subordinate—the silver seashell necklace had been completed.
He looked over at Sable and gestured for her to come closer.
"What is it?"
The silver-haired beauty walked over, curious as to why he'd stopped playing…
Rustle…
Ye Li suddenly wrapped his arms around her, fastening a silver necklace around her snowy neck———
"This is for you. Think of it as a return gift~"
"You…"
Sable looked down at the delicate silver seashell resting above her curves, her face full of surprise. "You… heard me talking about this earlier, all the way from there?"
'Pfft, why would I eavesdrop on you… It's the system, turning even the tiniest whim into a quest…'
Ye Li grumbled inwardly, but outwardly, he said softly, "Do you like it? I had it made just for you~"
"How did you get it done so fast…"
Hearing that, Sable's cold, pretty face shifted from shock to quiet joy. She thought to herself,
'Just hearing me mention wanting a silver seashell, he immediately went to get one… Am I really this important to him? I thought I was just the guard dog here…'
