Seeing Gu Rongqi's expression, Cheng Qicai's embarrassment eased considerably.
"I meant your clothes..." Cheng Qicai whispered a hint.
Gu Rongqi looked down at his clothes and his expression froze.
She was so angry at Cheng Qicai's attitude that she didn't notice her own situation.
He looked up at Cheng Qicai and noticed that she was also secretly watching him out of the corner of her eye.
He coughed lightly, feeling awkward, and hesitated to speak for a moment.
Cheng Qicai immediately noticed Gu Rongqi's slightly red ears, but she couldn't tell if it was the redness from the light coming through his back or from shyness.
It's probably a combination of both.
Cheng Qicai's tense mood relaxed immediately, and she spoke again: "If you don't want to wear mine, you should be able to wear my clothes. I have clothes underneath. Your clothes... it will be a little awkward if we go over later."
Although her clothes were a little wet, they were still better than Gu Rongqi's see-through clothes.
Who knew that rich people wouldn't use thicker fabrics for their clothes!
When we get back, we'll have to walk through that party, and then a whole bunch of people will be able to see Gu Rongqi... that would be so awkward!
Moreover, she likes to stay cool, so she likes to wear oversized shirts in the summer. This shirt is too big on Cheng Qicai, but it might fit Gu Rongqi perfectly.
Gu Rongqi stroked the mole next to his index finger, his heart churning.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Cheng Qicai assumed he was embarrassed, so she simply took off her clothes and handed them to him.
Looking at the clothes being handed to him, Gu Rongqi hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and took the clothes.
Cheng Qicai consciously turned her back and took a few steps forward, giving him enough space and privacy to change his clothes.
Gu Rongqi looked at the floral shirt in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then took off his wet clothes and put on Cheng Qicai's red and green outfit.
The clothes still seemed to retain her lingering warmth; you could feel it as you put them on, just like Cheng Qicai's usual embraces.
When Gu Rongqi first put it on, his body stiffened slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable. After a moment, he lifted his foot and walked towards Cheng Qicai.
"Alright." Gu Rongqi's deep voice sounded behind her.
She glanced at Gu Rongqi's upper body and thought, well, all I can say is that handsome people look good in anything.
Even her red and green beach shirt.
But his wet and combed hairstyle looked like a slicked-back hairstyle, with a few strands of hair falling out in front. Paired with such clothes, he looked like a delinquent.
Cheng Qicai chuckled at her own association. She licked her lips, suppressed her laughter, and said to Gu Rongqi, "Very handsome."
"Thank you!" Gu Rongqi smiled sincerely when he heard her praise.
Negative qualities can be transformed into good ones.
Before heading back, Cheng Qicai made sure to bring her fishing gear with her.
But in the end, all of these things ended up being carried by Gu Rongqi, while she carried her fish.
She could never go against Gu Rongqi's ideas.
She had quite a lot of fishing gear; you could see she was carrying things in both hands, and also holding clothes.
She said to Gu Rongqi shyly, "How about I help you get your clothes?"
After all, Gu Rongqi helped her carry her things, and he... just now fell into the sea, so she still bears some responsibility.
Gu Rong nodded and handed over the clothes.
The two originally wanted to quickly return to the villa to change clothes, but when they passed by the party, they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Gu Liji.
Gu Liji shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother!"
Cheng Qicai and the others turned around and saw Gu Liji waving at them.
The two exchanged a glance, then walked towards Gu Liji.
As the two approached, Gu Liji looked back and forth between them with suspicion.
He went out for a short while, and somehow the clothes ended up in the other party's hands. His brother was even more outrageous; he even put them on.
Could it be that clothes can be used as tokens of love?
But in just over an hour, how could things have progressed so rapidly between them?
He soon realized he had misunderstood.
Seeing that Gu Rongqi's pants and hair were still dripping wet except for his clothes, Gu Liji couldn't help but ask, "What happened to you guys?"
“I fell into the sea,” Gu Rongqi replied.
"Huh?" Gu Liji exclaimed in shock, "Brother, how did you fall into the sea?"
Gu Rongqi glanced at Cheng Qicai, "It was an accident."
Catching his gaze, Cheng Qicai felt a little guilty. She pushed the bucket in her hand towards Gu Liji: "Look, these are the fish we caught. How about we eat some fish later?"
"...It's pretty good." Gu Liji glanced at the fish in the bucket and answered against his conscience.
However, even though he had fallen into the sea while catching fish, looking at Gu Rongqi's clothes, he still asked in confusion, "Then why are you wearing Cheng Qicai's clothes, brother?"
"His clothes were a bit wet and see-through. With so many people around, it wouldn't look good if he came over, so I lent him my clothes," Cheng Qicai explained quickly.
"Oh—" Gu Liji nodded as if he understood, and said seriously to the two of them, "Then you two should go back and change your clothes, or you'll catch a cold later."
Gu Rongqi and Cheng Qicai turned and walked towards the villa.
Gu Liji watched the two figures disappear into the distance, clicking his tongue a few times. What do you mean by "bad influence"? If it's bad influence, why don't you just send someone to deliver the clothes? That way, no one will see them.
Therefore, Guliji expressed his contempt for all of their confusing behavior.
His brother's schemes are really something... one after another. Looking at Cheng Qicai like this, she doesn't even know she's been sold out. I just don't know when her brother will be taken down.
Cheng Qicai and Gu Rongqi returned to the villa. She told Gu Rongqi to change his clothes first, while she gave the fish she was carrying to the kitchen staff so they could help cook it.
