242 Stick At the Bottom of the Pool
Lin Jiao pursed her lips. “A stick.” Her voice was as soft as a kitten’s. “The hotel is really careless.”
“There’s a stick at the bottom of the pool?”
“Yes, go down and look for it if you don’t believe me.”
There were LED lights hanging from the trees near the pool, but the bottom of the pool could not be seen clearly.
!!
Pei Zhi let go of her waist. Just as he was about to get to the bottom of the pool, a sly smile flashed across his face.
He turned around and pulled her into his arms. He tickled her and gritted his teeth. “Did you do it on purpose?”
“No.” Lin Jiao pushed his shoulder and laughed until tears were about to fall. “I’m already injured, but you’re still tickling me.”
“You little liar.”
“I’m not lying to you!”
“You still won’t admit it? Huh?” Pei Zhi stared at that beautiful face and kept tickling her.
His deep eyes were filled with danger. Lin Jiao climbed onto his neck and begged him to stop tickling her.
“I admit it.” She kissed the tip of his nose and leaned close to his slightly cold lips. “Hubby, I was wrong.”
Pei Zhi was about to teach her a lesson when Lin Jiao slipped away.
He looked up and waited for her to swim for a while before following her unhurriedly, like a hunter playing a game with his prey.
Lin Jiao, who could not outswim him, was grabbed by the ankle. She did not even have a chance to struggle.
She met that pair of half-smiling eyes and her heart skipped a beat. She pounced on him.
“Are you still running?” Pei Zhi patted her butt twice and raised an eyebrow.
His actions made Lin Jiao blush.
She looked around to make sure that they did not see what he was doing before shaking her head in embarrassment. “I didn’t run.”
“Then why are you swimming over to this side?”
“Drink juice.”
Pei Zhi raised his chin to the right, indicating for her to see the juice tray on the opposite side.
In an instant, Lin Jiao returned even redder.
“I want to swim two laps before going to drink the juice.” Lin Jiao pouted and kissed him. “Hubby, can you carry me over there?”
She tried to distract him with a kiss to make him forget that she had just run away.
“I’ll deal with you tonight.” Pei Zhi bit her lower lip fiercely and let her off for the time being.
He carried her to the tray and handed her a glass filled with orange juice. He leaned against the wall to rest.
Lin Jiao took two sips of orange juice and looked at Jiang Ye and Pei Yilan, who were playing in the pool.
She accidentally saw the whip mark on Jiang Ye’s back and subconsciously frowned, but when they looked over, she immediately looked away.
“Jiaojiao, aren’t you going to swim anymore?” Pei Yilan and Jiang Ye approached them and chose their favorite drinks from the tray.
“I’m tired.” She tied her ponytail again, her fair fingertips intertwined with her black hair. “Where are the others?”
“I think they went to the washroom.”
“Come up and sit.” Pei Zhi felt the temperature drop. Even the evening breeze was cold.
He took a few towels from the beach chair and handed them to them one by one. “Do you guys want to have a drink?”
“Where are we going to drink?”
“A bar.”
The group went to the changing room and waited for Tang Ni and the others to come out before heading to the hotel lobby.
The bar was on the sixth floor of the hotel. The antique renovation style gave people the feeling that they were in a dynasty.
In a cubicle separated by a bead curtain, two oil lamps were placed on a mahogany table. As the bead curtain swayed, it reflected mottled light and shadow.
