Chapter 137: Asking for Help
The sound of clothes rubbing softly behind him made Mo Ziyang’s heart rise up into his throat. After all, he was still a teenage boy, and his cute little girlfriend was changing clothes right behind him. To say he felt nothing would be lying to himself.
For a moment, it was like two little angels, one black and one white, appeared at his side. One whispered that it was fine to sneak a glance, Lin Muxi’s gentle personality would forgive him anyway.
The other reminded him to stick to his promise, to keep his bottom line. He had sworn to Lin Muxi before.
While Mo Ziyang was fighting hard against his own urges, Lin Muxi herself ran into trouble behind him.
She had already put on the bottom half of her swimsuit, but the strap of the top… she didn’t know how to tie it. Even if she knew, her little arms probably couldn’t reach.
What’s more, the swimsuit hadn’t been washed before wearing, which already made her feel a little uncomfortable.
“Forget it… let’s just try anyway. Maybe I can manage somehow?” she thought.
With that, she slipped off her small vest, folded it carefully, and set it aside. Then she wrapped the swimsuit top around herself.
But that cursed strap seemed to be against her on purpose. She couldn’t tie it, couldn’t even reach the spot on her back where it needed to be tied. Even if she barely touched it, it was still almost impossible to finish the knot.
“This is bullying me,” she thought angrily.
After several failed attempts, Lin Muxi gave up unwillingly. The only option left was to ask her good bro for help.
But when she turned to look at him, she saw that he was truly standing there with his back to her the whole time, just as he promised, not sneaking even a single glance. For some reason, Lin Muxi suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Didn’t he always say she was cute? Yet now, he didn’t even take a peek?
“Hmph! Fine then, don’t look.”
Like she was getting back at him, she quietly slipped forward and wrapped her arms around him from behind. Without her arms covering her chest, her soft body pressed directly against his back. The sudden touch made her whole body shiver.
“What’s wrong, Lin Muxi?”
At that moment, his gentle voice reached her ears, and her heart started beating wildly. She hugged him even tighter.
“I… um… I can’t put it on…” she stammered.
Feeling the softness pressing against his back, even without turning around, Mo Ziyang guessed that the silly girl was probably bare on top. Otherwise, why would it feel like this?
(And don’t ask how he knew)
“Do you want me to help you? But if I do, I’ll have to turn around.”
“Wait… don’t!”
Hearing he was about to turn around, Lin Muxi panicked and quickly stopped him.
This wasn’t a hotel, it was outside. If they had been in a hotel, maybe she wouldn’t have minded too much by now. But here, absolutely not.
She let go of him in a hurry, grabbed her little vest she had just taken off, and used it to cover her chest. Then, blushing, she poked his waist with her finger.
“Fine… fine, turn around.”
Hearing her shy voice, Mo Ziyang smiled a little and turned. What he saw was Lin Muxi’s small face blushing red, one hand holding her bra against her chest, while the other nervously clutched the hem of her swimsuit skirt.
The sight of her looking so shy and girlish made Mo Ziyang lose focus for a moment. He couldn’t help but love it. Especially the way she grabbed the skirt at her thighs, it almost drove him crazy.
He was already imagining how fun it would be to tease her in a swimsuit next time, and since they were going to a private beach soon, it seemed like the perfect chance. It would only be the two of them there. He even thought about buying more swimsuits to bring along and play “dress-up.”
Yes! That was a great idea.
Since they had come to the seaside, why not buy a few more swimsuits? Otherwise, once this trip was over, he might not get another chance to see Lin Muxi in swimwear.
But his thoughts were quickly interrupted by a soft little voice.
“What are you staring at, dummy! Hurry and help me, it’s really embarrassing like this.”
Lin Muxi didn’t know why, but the moment he turned around he just stared at her, looking absent-minded. She had to call him several times before he reacted.
When Mo Ziyang finally snapped back, he noticed a trace of shame and annoyance on her little face, as if blaming him for being distracted just now. But he couldn’t help it, his little sweetheart was just too cute, and he had gotten lost staring.
When Lin Muxi handed him the swimsuit top, Mo Ziyang felt a bit awkward himself. If only he had bought it earlier and taken her back to the hotel to try it on one by one. That would have been much better.
But since they were already here, he had no choice but to suppress his urges. He helped her wrap the top around her chest, tied the thin straps behind her back, and only after making sure it was secure did he let go.
“All done. Go check in the mirror outside.”
As she turned around, Mo Ziyang admired his adorable Lin Muxi. Her petite body looked even more girlish in the swimsuit, and the little skirt swayed with her movements, sometimes lifting enough to almost reveal what was beneath. It was so tempting that he wanted to take her straight to the beach to see how beautiful she’d look under the sun.
Seeing him staring blankly again, Lin Muxi let out a small sigh of relief. That at least proved her outfit looked good, good enough to charm her good bro.
And to be honest, she also liked the swimsuit’s design. But showing so much of her stomach and thighs gave her a strange, new feeling that made her face heat up.
It wasn’t that she minded letting him see, but thinking about going outside dressed like this and being stared at by strangers made her feel deeply embarrassed.
So when he suggested she go out to check the mirror, she looked at him with pleading eyes.
“You can just look, okay? I don’t really want to go out dressed like this… you understand.”
Of course Mo Ziyang understood. He mainly just wanted to show her off, to let people see how amazing his girlfriend looked in swimwear. But if Lin Muxi didn’t want to, he wouldn’t force her.
Gently brushing the strands of hair from her flushed little face, Mo Ziyang patted her head softly.
“Alright then, forget it. Change back, pay the bill, and we’ll leave.”
