Chapter 272 – Carry Princess In Princess Style
They sifted off the sand from their clothes as they got up. Suddenly, a large wave crashed on the sea shore, drenching them completely with water.
"…"
"…"
They looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha…. you look funny!" Zizi laughed hard.
He rolled his eyes. "You don't look any less funnier either."
As he glanced back at her, he noticed her clothes turning slightly see-through because of the water that made it transparent and so he could see the outline of her bra.
He straightened up and quickly pulled her in his arms. Even though it was night, the beach wasn't completely empty. A few people here and there were still roaming around, taking a stroll.
"W-what happened?"
She was surprised but needless to say, her heart was jumping in happiness.
Ah ah! Yunru hugged me on his own. En! Today is the best of my life.
Yunru was quickly thinking about how to salvage the situation. Unfortunately, he was just wearing a shirt himself so had no jacket to offer her. But fortunately, there were some shops in business. One of them was a clothes store.
Great.
The only problem was that he couldn't just go with Zizi like that or the shopkeeper would see everything too…
He cleared his throat. He turned and bent on his knees. "Climb on my back."
Zizi blinked her eyes. "Ah?"
"Just do as I say. Climb on my back."
Zizi was clueless as to why he was suddenly asking that, but she was more than happy to give in. She hopped on his back with a wide grin on her lips. "I didn't know that you have already started to fall for me hehe…"
"…"
"You like to conveniently bend things to suit your wishes huh Princess…"
Her mouth twitched. "Don't ruin the moment."
He shook his head and walked over to the shop. The shop owner was surprised. He coughed. "You…"
Before Zizi could say anything, Yunru spoke first. "She has sprained her leg."
She hit on his head, visibly displeased by his lie.
"Ah, ah, I see! Tell me, young lad. What do you need?"
"Give me that jacket please."
"Sure!"
He quickly paid him and asked Zizi to grab the jacket. Then he walked further until he saw a huge chunk of rock on the beach. Behind it, he put Zizi down and said, "Wear the jacket."
"Why should I? Oh, oh! You brought it for me so that I don't feel cold?" She lowered her head, feeling shy.
"That's not the main reason."
Her brow twitched. "You don't care if I catch a cold and get sick?"
"I care more about people not seeing you in this state."
"What state?"
He coughed. "Look for yourself."
Zizi frowned and looked down. She froze and her eyes widened in shock.
My dress! And my b-bra is visible!?
She immediately covered her chest and her cheeks flushed furiously in embarrassment. She suddenly realized why he asked to climb on his back.
"You-you picked me so that your back could cover my chest?"
"I had no choice. I could have bought the jacket myself but well… I didn't want to leave you alone in that state when people were roaming around," he cleared his throat, "Now quickly wear the jacket and let's head back or you will catch a cold for sure."
Her heart warmed up on seeing how he cared for her. A soft smile laced her lips. "Thank you, Yunru…"
His sight, for a moment, fell on her exposed part. He quickly looked away, feeling slightly warm in his cheeks.
"R-ready?"
"En. By the way…" she twiddled her fingers. "Will you carry me again?"
He smiled and flicked on her forehead. "Don't get too cocky."
"B-But I liked it!" She sobbed. "Pretty please! You gave me a piggyback ride. This time, carry me Princess style!" Her eyes gleamed. "Don't you always me Princess? So you ought to carry me like that at least once."
He folded his arms as he stared at her pitiful eyes pleading him to carry her.
She coughed. "You know? I-I kind of feel a little pain in my ankle now that I think about it…"
His brow twitched. "I cannot believe that you will still choose to lie."
She sheepishly grinned. "Anything for a ride in your arms."
He coughed.
Well…
He stared at the beautiful sparkling sea and smiled. His heart felt at ease and lighter now for some reason when he heard the sound of the waves. He remembered that night where he cried over Shuang and this night where he didn't feel as if his heart was crushed by a boulder.
Only because Zizi was caring enough to drive that pain away.
"I guess I can spoil you this time…"
He wrapped her arm around his neck and picked her in a flash.
Zizi widened her eyes. She was trying out of luck, but didn't know that he would really accede to her wish.
Their gazes locked onto each other and feeling the warmth of his embrace, she had an urge to cry.
Stupid. This is a happy moment. Why do I want to cry?
She felt a strange heat envelope in her waist where his fingers firmly held her. Even though it was dark, the moonlight that faintly shone upon her blush of her cheeks gave him an urge to gaze at it forever. She looked so ethereal as if she was a fairy.
They said nothing and in silence, he walked, carrying her. She clutched onto his neck and smiled. "You are the best."
He raised his brow and chuckled. "You never fail to butter me up."
"These are my heartfelt words."
"Do you wanna know my heartfelt words?"
She hopefully looked at him.
"Maybe…just maybe you have gotten a teensy tiny but fat," he chuckled.
Of course, he was just teasing her.
"You! How dare you say those sinful words!?"
"Must be the hotpot."
"S-shut up! You are mean!"
"Hahaha! And you are cute when you are angry."
She stiffened and blushed hard.
Ah, ah! He called me cute!
"F-Fine! I forgive you this once since you called me cute."
He rolled his eyes.
They took a cab and reached the hotel. In her room, Zizi rolled on her bed, thinking about the day she spent with Yunru. There was a satisfied smile on her lips.
Hehe, just the first day was so mind-blowing. How awesome will the rest of the trip be? I cannot wait for tomorrow!
