The sunlight shimmered, and arcs of light surged forth.

A single palm strike crashes against the shore, stirring up a thousand waves.

"you!"

Du Qiangwei instantly stood up straight like a startled rabbit, gritting her teeth as she looked at the nonchalant Wang Ji. She looked furious but dared not speak out, her fair and cool cheeks flushing red, and her hands tightly covering her back...

"Are you... are you sick in the head?" Her eyes were filled with tears, both ashamed and angry!

In broad daylight...

Wang Ji smiled slightly, leisurely leaning on the railing, and replied insincerely, "It was an impulsive act. Sorry, sorry."

His arms were resting on the railing, his waist and legs forming an angle of about 100 degrees, almost the same as Du Qiangwei's posture just now. However, his waist was not as slender as Du Qiangwei's, so his waist and hip curves were not particularly amazing, nor were his buttocks as round and perky.

It doesn't have that perky little bottom that makes you want to pat it.

Especially this dark green leather bodysuit...

"You...you're getting more and more vulgar." Du Qiangwei was so angry she wanted to bite him, but there was nothing she could do. She could only kick his shin in annoyance and snort.

Wang Ji, shameless as ever, used the same hand that had just patted her butt to gesture to her and to the railing next to him: "Come on, hang here."

Du Qiangwei understood what he meant, but she didn't fall for it at all. She covered her buttocks, gritted her teeth, and took a few steps back.

She didn't leave, but glared at Wang Ji with hatred.

Suddenly, her gaze shifted, her eyes focusing on a certain spot, a very pert part of her body. She pursed her thin lips, then suddenly leaned closer and raised her hand!

"Smack!"

"Tsk~" Wang Ji clicked his tongue, patted his butt, and looked at the red-haired girl who had retreated with a smug expression. He said with amusement, "What's this called? A rogue will always be a rogue?"

Du Qiangwei tilted her chin slightly and let out a soft hum, as if she felt she had gotten her revenge.

"Come...come here~" Wang Ji smiled and didn't say anything, then waved to her, signaling her to come to his side.

Du Qiangwei had initially taken a step back stubbornly, but he pulled her back again by calling her, and she walked over half-reluctantly and half-carelessly.

His words seemed to possess a kind of magic, making her unable to resist listening to him.

She knew it wasn't some kind of underhanded trick; it was just that the relationship between them made her irresistibly willing to listen to him.

"Stop messing around... I'm leaving if you keep this up." She moved her feet toward them, but couldn't help emphasizing it again.

She didn't deliberately avoid him; she stood next to Wang Ji in the same position as before.

She often comes here to watch the sea, to watch the sunrise, and to watch the sunset.

He was on the upper deck, where everyone had their usual spot.

"You seem to have a lot of free time today," Du Qiangwei said after thinking for a moment, looking at him.

"Hmm...I guess so." Wang Ji didn't refute Du Qiangwei's words and nodded.

Compared to usual, he was indeed very free today.

They stood side by side, only twenty centimeters apart, gazing at the seemingly endless scenery aboard the Juxia: the calm sea, the long runway, and the perpetually busy crew.

"I...I," Du Qiangwei pursed her lips, then suddenly said, "I bought you a few outfits...Let's set a time, I'll leave them in your room, and then you can try them on yourself when you get back."

Her voice was soft and grew softer.

"If it's not suitable, give it to me again... I'll go change it." She suddenly added, "If you don't like it, you can just leave it. I know you have high standards, just use it as a change of clothes."

Her head was slightly lowered, her eyes were lowered, her red hair hung down, and her lower lip was pursed.

“I will like it,” Wang Ji said softly, looking at her from the side. “I definitely will.”

He looked at her, and for some reason, his thoughts seemed to drift back to a sunny and charming afternoon, to the leisurely swings in the academy.

She was just as gentle back then as she is now.

Hesitant.

"You...you're not just trying to fool me." Du Qiangwei immediately retorted, "You haven't even tried it yet, how do you know if you like it or not?"

She knew that Wang Ji had extremely high aesthetic standards, and although he wasn't exactly a professional, he was never outdated.

She was genuinely a little worried.

“I know your taste,” Wang Ji said softly. “Extremely refined and minimalist, sporty style, it won’t be bad no matter what.”

and……"

He reached out and grasped a slender, long hand: "This is the first time you've given me a gift, of course I like it."

Her hands felt cool to the touch, like they were being blown by the sea breeze. Actually, that shouldn't be the case. Every super soldier is as healthy as they can be, and even girls should have plenty of yang energy.

However, Du Qiangwei seems to act like this every time she's with Wang Ji; she seems very nervous.

Actually, this kind of thing is very strange, and the relationship between people is also very strange. Du Qiangwei can be aloof, indifferent, and even disdainful to almost anyone, but when facing Wang Ji, she always acts as if she has been bullied.

It wasn't like this at first, but the closer I got to him, the more this happened; even my hands would get cold.

If I had to put it into words, it might truly be a case of one thing subduing another.

"I..." Du Qiangwei gently tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't. Ever since Wang Ji sensed that she was nervous, she had been embarrassed to let him hold her hand.

But she was also a little reluctant to part with it—she didn't have much to give, and his hands were already very warm.

"Let's do it tonight." He thought for a moment and said, "But you have to come and try it on for me in person. If the size really doesn't fit, then you can make sure it's right before exchanging it for me."
