Kids grow up and you can’t control them.
That was Jiang Xiao’s first thought after seeing the message Lin An had sent.
His second thought was a sigh as an older brother.
Jiang Li falling in love was one thing, but Jiang Yu too?
And with Sang Tian of all people?
The ancients said, “If a woman is three years older, it’s like holding a gold brick.” Then what would it mean if she’s six years older?
Should he, as the older brother, break them up?
A warm, soft, fragrant kiss suddenly landed on his left cheek.
“Peng’er.”
Jiang Xiao looked at the girl in front of him.
She was wearing a white swimsuit, her graceful body half-covered and half-exposed.
He was slightly stunned, and before he knew it, the corner of his mouth had turned up by about a pixel.
“No special reason, I just felt like kissing you.”
Song Qiuyu grinned at him, then lowered her eyes and used her delicate white hand to tug the hem of her pure white swimsuit skirt down a few times.
Seeing her small gesture of pulling the hem to cover her thighs, the smile in Jiang Xiao’s eyes deepened.
“If I have to give a reason, consider it a thank you for helping me put on my swimsuit.”
Holding the hem, Song Qiuyu cleared her throat.
As if she wanted to purposely tease her boyfriend, she bit her lip lightly, squeezed her two smooth and fair legs together, and shyly twirled her hair ends.
“Darling, do I look good today?”
Jiang Xiao held his breath slightly.
In his field of vision, the girl’s snow-white jade-like legs and feet were together, stepping on clean sandals.
Like the highest quality figurine, flawless.
They looked perfect for handling.
And also… delicious?
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do I not look good?”
Song Qiuyu tested again.
Seeing his girlfriend carefully seeking approval, Jiang Xiao almost instantly knew what he should do.
He decisively leaned in, lowered his head, and bit her fair ear tip.
“You’re too cute!”
The perfect evaluation struck the door of her heart. Song Qiuyu pursed her lips and suddenly felt a little thirsty.
Jiang Xiao had also changed into his swimsuit—a pair of black swimming trunks.
It matched her white one perfectly.
She glanced down at her boyfriend’s hard muscles full of masculine vigor, and some hard-to-voice thoughts began to sprout quickly inside her.
Then she pretended to be reserved and pushed him.
“Hmph, that’s good. At least I didn’t waste that long choosing.”
“-I just don’t feel like taking you out swimming anymore.”
The girl’s ear tip was burning hot. Jiang Xiao took the opportunity to lick it, and then he felt her body tremble slightly and soften bit by bit.
A sound that quickened his heartbeat came muffled from her throat.
Song Qiuyu’s heartbeat also accelerated as the temperature in the dressing room rose.
She wanted to refuse politely, but her body and heart were already uncontrollably falling, even though they had been intimate several times before, she still liked it.
But thinking that if they continued, they might not be able to swim, she firmly opposed.
“No way!”
“Mhm.”
“Alright, stop kissing. This ear position is too easy to see.”
“True.”
“Mhm…”
Even though Jiang Xiao had stopped, Song Qiuyu’s thoughts drifted back to what happened while getting dressed because of her own words.
Places not easy to see…
Well, there were quite a few.
But then again,
Were they being too indulgent? Although it had been a semester since they last did it, now that they had permission, they were out of control. Was it too much?
Even though her parents had said, “If you get pregnant, so be it. It can even earn you credits!”
Her mom had gotten pregnant with her during college, but unfortunately, the matter of gender transition disease hadn’t been made public back then, so there were no credits, and she had to hide.
Now it was different for them—they could get credits.
Other couples were even more different—they had many more things to consider, like whether they would be refined into some kind of dan medicine on the spot.
She shook her head, shaking all these random thoughts out of her mind.
“By the way, who sent that message just now?”
“Lao Lin sent it.”
Jiang Xiao parted from her and handed her his phone.
After reading the message, Song Qiuyu’s eyes widened, and her heart skipped a beat.
So all three children of the Jiang family were dating.
If the conservative faction of the Jiang family found out, would they be so angry that they passed out on the spot? Worse, hospitalized?
Especially Jiang Yu.
But falling for a gentle older sister, and a super hot older sister at that, Sang Tian, was understandable.
Still, for Jiang Xiao, it was a big blow.
After all, both kids liked people who were his friends.
He couldn’t escape responsibility for this.
“Jiang Xiao, I roughly understand the situation. Sit on the bench for a moment!”
Jiang Xiao was stunned but didn’t ask further and sat on the bench.
Then Song Qiuyu took a deep breath, circled around in front of him, stepped closer, and then shamefully hugged his head, pressing it against her.
“Huh…”
Surrounded by softness, Jiang Xiao’s body stiffened slightly.
“It’s okay, Jiang Xiao. I’m your girlfriend now. I’ll always be on your side!”
Feeling Jiang Xiao’s breath, Song Qiuyu shyly closed her eyes and gently stroked his head.
She was glad internally that Jiang Xiao didn’t have to deal with something as flat as a cutting board.
A cutting board was fine for chopping vegetables, but for comforting and coaxing a boyfriend, it was somewhat lacking.
Jiang Xiao also closed his eyes, immersed in the wonderful scent of milk and the girl’s natural fragrance, enjoying it.
“Besides, regardless of what Jiang Yu thinks, I believe Sang Tian is such a good girl that she will choose carefully when it comes to relationships.”
Song Qiuyu still remembered that Sang Tian liked Jiang Xiao.
Now Jiang Xiao was impossible.
Jiang Yu probably had no chance either.
It couldn’t be that since she couldn’t get the brother, she had a bright idea and went for the younger brother, taking such a cliché and melodramatic route.
“Thank you, Xi’er, but this matter must be dealt with seriously. It’s all my fault. I’ve been a failed older brother.”
Jiang Xiao sighed lightly.
He had only paid attention to Jiang Li and neglected Jiang Yu.
Hearing this, Song Qiuyu frowned, hugged Jiang Xiao’s head tighter, and did her best to comfort him.
“Don’t blame yourself anymore. It’s not hard to imagine that Jiang Yu would like Sang Tian. After all, Sang Tian is so good. The hardest to imagine is Lao Xie and Jiang Li!”
I’ve tricked Lao Xie. I’ll have to make it up to you later. Let me treat you to a meal another day.
Jiang Xiao let out a muffled sound of struggle.
He was suffocating.
“If you’re worried that Jiang Yu will neglect his studies, how about we send him a few sets of practice problems when we get back? Let him start doing the Five-Three Exercise Books from now on!”
Song Qiuyu had no idea about Jiang Xiao’s situation; she only thought he was still blaming himself.
She patted his back, lowered her head, and kissed the top of his head.
“As long as he’s busy, those desires will be as good as gone.”
“Peng…er…”
Jiang Xiao’s voice was weak, as if he was about to die from lack of air.
“Ah, Jiang Xiao, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?”
Jiang Xiao patted her shoulder, and Song Qiuyu looked down and finally noticed his condition. She quickly let go.
After a moment, they both recovered.
Jiang Xiao recovered, and the guilt shifted to Song Qiuyu.
So it became Jiang Xiao comforting his girlfriend again.
After both were comforted,
They finally walked together toward the volleyball match location.
When they arrived, the match was quite intense.
But the spectators Lin An and Xia Qi had already joined in.
Even Jiang Yu and Sang Tian had.
“This match doesn’t seem very official. You can swap in random people mid-game?”
Song Qiuyu sat on a bench, munching on the sunflower seeds her roommate hadn’t finished, smacking her lips.
“It’s just a recreational volleyball match.”
Jiang Xiao sat beside her.
“Hey, it looks pretty fun. Should we join too?”
Song Qiuyu looked left and right, then her attention was quickly drawn to a figure that leaped high and with a “heave-ho” forcefully spiked the ball to the opposite side.
That was Sang Tian.
Who would have thought such a gentle girl could hit the ball so hard?
“Sang Tian! You’re amazing!”
Jiang Yu’s gaze was already glued to Sang Tian.
“Thrilling!”
Xia Qi was on the opposite side, diving at the last moment before the ball landed to make a desperate save.
“Lao Xie, this ball is coming at you!”
Lin An also predicted Xia Qi’s trajectory at that instant.
Xie Zhuran frowned.
Seeing this, Song Qiuyu also frowned. Most of the people she knew were on the left, only Xia Qi was alone on the right.
That was so maverick of her.
But it could also be that the people on Xia Qi’s side refused to switch.
“We can join, but which side should we join?”
Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow.
“That’s a good question.”
Song Qiuyu thought it over.
They ultimately decided to join Xia Qi’s side.
But then Xia Qi shook her head and said, “You guys go to the opposite side. Go to the opposite side. Today I’m going to take on all of you by myself!”
Xia Qi’s teammates and opponents: ?
Song Qiuyu was startled. So Xia Qi insisted on that herself? That confident?
Coincidentally, her favorite thing to do was to say no to what others wanted most.
With that thought, she turned to look at Jiang Xiao. Jiang Xiao also turned to look at her. They confirmed they had the same idea.
She pulled Jiang Xiao and joined directly.
Xia Qi froze.
The few people on the opposite side stared at each other with wide eyes, none of them expecting Song Qiuyu and Jiang Xiao to be so decisive.
Sang Tian even wanted to defect and run to the opposite side for a moment.
Jiang Yu clearly guessed Sang Tian’s thoughts, his gaze fixed on her, watching her next move.
If Sang Tian ran, he would run too.
After all, his brother and sister-in-law were on the opposite side, so it wouldn’t be wrong for him to go over.
Jiang Li didn’t think much.
She just felt it was good that her brother was on the opposite side. She had wanted to spar with him for a long time.
She hadn’t played games with her brother in a long time.
She kind of missed it.
“What do you say?”
Lin An adjusted his glasses and looked at his teammates.
“What else can we say? Victory can only be ours.”
Xie Zhuran frowned.
The players on the left and right teams looked at each other, and they all saw burning fire and determination in each other’s eyes.
They were determined to win this volleyball match.
The boys’ and girls’ summer beach volleyball match continued
