Chapter 537: I Feel Like I’m on Fire
The moment the dressing room door opened, Mu Xichen turned around.
Although he had certain expectations, he was still stunned when he saw her in the outfit.
The swimsuit was a fiery red.
Li Beinian had pale skin. The contrast of the red ribbon against her fair and smooth skin, made her look particularly striking.
Her fair and delicate skin seemed to take on an ethereal glow under the light streaming in from the full-length windows, so white that it was dazzling.
Her legs were long and slender, and she was standing there barefooted.
Her pink and adorable toes seemed to be wriggling anxiously. As his gaze wandered upwards, there were her thighs, covered by the translucent drape.
Mu Xichen’s mouth was parched as he felt the flames of his desire being stoked. Whereas his eyes were like glowing embers earlier on, it was now set ablaze. Li Beinian felt her hair standing on end.
Her face was already red. She quickly went forward and covered his eyes. “Why haven’t you changed!”
“I’ll do it now.” Mu Xichen’s voice was a little hoarse as he pulled her towards himself. “Assist me?”
“Go!” Li Beinian shook him off and looked away quickly, saying, “Let me test the water temperature!”
With that, she ran off.
Mu Xichen felt as though his body was on fire, as he looked at the fair strips of white on her back set against the red ribbons.
A certain part of him had gradually stood erect in protest and would not be suppressed!
Li Beinian had really just wanted to test the temperature of the water, like she said.
However, as she dipped her toe in, she realized that the water wasn’t as cold as she had imagined.
Slowly, she took another step down. Soon, half of her body was submerged.
She had not swam in a long time.
The last time was probably when she had jumped into the water to save Lin Kerou.
Now that she was in the water, Li Beinian couldn’t control herself.
Having warmed up, she dipped her head into the water and started to swim happily.
The swimming pool was huge.
From end to end, it was at least 200 meters.
Li Beinian swam and stopped intermittently. When she broke out of the water again, she found herself only about half down the length of the pool.
Just as she was about to dip into the water again, she suddenly heard a splash behind her.
She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. However, she was caught by surprise to feel a large hand around her leg underwater.
She had just suffered a few bruises from being kicked, and now that her leg was grabbed this way, she immediately frowned.
Her legs moved, but at the same time, her lower body was set afloat.
Li Beinian was caught off guard and let out a gasp.
Thump.
The sound of splashing water could be heard.
Li Beinian’s body was now held up by a strong arm, while the grip on her calf remained firm.
Mu Xichen looked at the bruise on her calf and his eyes darkened with obvious displeasure. “What happened?”
Not only was it bruised, the skin was broken.
While there was no blood, it was obvious that it was painful.
As Mu Xichen spoke, he carried her to the poolside and placed her on the edge.
He held her leg and looked at it carefully.
“Six bruises.” Mu Xichen ran his fingers gently over the angry patch and asked firmly with a darkened expression, “Who did this?”
Avoiding his gaze, Li Beinian said, “I’m fine. I accidentally fell… Ouch!”
Mu Xichen had given the bruise a light press and said, “The truth.”
She puffed up her cheeks and said moodily, “I’ve already taken my revenge. Don’t worry about it.”
The man repeated, “Who did this?”
“Aiya!” Li Beinian pushed his hand away and glared at him. “Just let it be. The rumors going around are annoying enough. If you stir more trouble, it’s going to affect my work.”
