Liu Meng sighed helplessly. If they weren't still getting acquainted, she would've given the chubby guy a playful "big sister" punch.
She shifted her gaze to Su Yang and complimented him generously, "You're Su Yang, right? I didn’t expect you to have such a great physique."
"Thanks for the praise, beautiful. You’ve got an amazing figure yourself."
As they spoke, the remaining girls emerged from the changing room.
Leading the group were Tang Ziyun and Han Xiaoyu, while Pan Ning and Shen Yixue followed behind.
The four guys froze, their eyes widening at the sight of so much fair skin, unsure where to look first.
To their surprise, all four girls were wearing matching sexy bikinis.
Han Xiaoyu and Tang Ziyun had particularly stunning figures, and the bikinis only amplified their allure, making it impossible to look away.
Han Xiaoyu wore a dark green bikini, while Tang Ziyun opted for purple—both with eye-catching "headlights" that drew immediate attention.
Zhang Ziming and Liu Bo unconsciously swallowed hard, their eyes glued to those "lights" without a second’s pause.
Su Yang, however, was focused on Pan Ning. She wore a light brown patterned bikini, standing tall at 170 cm with flawless legs and proportions. Combined with her breathtaking beauty, Su Yang found himself momentarily entranced.
Beside her, Shen Yixue sported a pink bikini. Though her figure was also impressive, she paled in comparison to Pan Ning in every aspect.
Still, Su Yang didn’t miss a thing—his gaze swept over all four girls, ensuring no one was left out.
As they approached, Tang Ziyun immediately noticed Su Yang, her eyes gleaming with admiration at his physique.
"You girls are absolutely stunning!" Meng Wenzhou couldn’t help but exclaim loudly.
Han Xiaoyu smiled shyly. "You guys have great bodies too." Though she said this, her eyes never left Su Yang.
"Really? I think so too," Zhang Ziming chuckled.
Shen Yixue shot him a glare and walked over. "You call this a good body? Have you seen Su Yang’s?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ziming’s smile vanished. "Don’t even mention him. It’s infuriating! But just wait—if I start training, I’ll surpass him in less than two months."
"Pfft. You call that a small difference?"
"Can’t you at least save me some face?" Zhang Ziming grumbled.
Laughing, the group headed toward the beach, quickly drawing the attention of nearby tourists.
Most of the men were fixated on Pan Ning and the others in their bikinis, while the women unanimously stared at Su Yang.
Two girls lounging on beach chairs sat up abruptly, removing their sunglasses.
"Yuanyuan, look over there! That guy is so hot!!!"
"Oh my god, what kind of heavenly face is that?! And his body—ahhh, I can’t take it! I need to meet him!" Yuanyuan gushed, her heart-shaped eyes locked on Su Yang in the distance.
"Calm down. Look at the girls around him. Guys like that aren’t for people like us."
"Ugh, Yujie, why? Why?!"
"Maybe get a boob job? Men love that, you know."
"Eh, forget it. I’m not spending that kind of money."
"But the other guys with him aren’t bad either. I kinda like that one more," Yujie said, eyeing Meng Wenzhou.
"Well, I’m all about the best body. Let’s pretend to go play—I want a closer look."
"Deal!"
......
Reaching the shore, Su Yang spread his arms and took a deep breath, gazing at the endless ocean.
"So? Isn’t the water here crystal clear?" Meng Wenzhou grinned.
"It’s incredible. I can’t wait—I’m diving in!"
Su Yang abandoned all pretense of composure, shouting excitedly before sprinting into the waves.
For the first time in over twenty years, he embraced the sea, playing in the water like an overjoyed child.
[Ding! Detecting host’s first-ever ocean swim—joyful and exhilarating. Reward: 800,000.]
Meng Wenzhou called after him, "Hey, Su! Don’t go too far! The currents can pull you out!"
"Got it, don’t worry!" Su Yang replied with a laugh.
The others soon joined, wading into the water. Pan Ning and Shen Yixue, however, stayed more reserved, sitting where the waves barely reached their ankles.
"Aren’t you coming in?" Tang Ziyun asked.
"Not yet. The water’s still chilly—I need a minute," Shen Yixue explained.
"Suit yourselves. We’re going in!"
Tang Ziyun grabbed Han Xiaoyu and Xia Keke, running until the water reached their thighs before stopping.
Liu Meng also stayed behind, sitting with Pan Ning and Shen Yixue to chat.
By now, Su Yang had swum nearly ten meters from shore.
He was actually an excellent swimmer. Though Yangcheng had no ocean, he’d spent his childhood splashing in rivers with friends.
Back then, entertainment was scarce, and in their poorer neighborhood, the local unnamed creek was the kids’ playground.
Time had erased that creek, but Su Yang’s skills remained. Having practically grown up in water—and now with an 87-point physique—he could swim for hours without tiring.
Cramps? Impossible. Between his natural endurance and the "Body Management Master" skill, his body was built for this.
Seeing Su Yang drift farther, Meng Wenzhou and the others grew concerned.
"Su! Come back!" Liu Bo shouted.
But with twenty meters between them and the noise of other beachgoers, Su Yang didn’t hear.
"This is amazing! Finally swimming in the ocean!"
"Still… better not push it. If a shark shows up, I’m done for. I just got rich—life’s too good to end as fish food."
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he imagined a shark brushing his leg.
Panicked, he turned back.
Reality wasn’t a movie—no shark appeared.
This was shallow, tourist-safe water, after all.
Cutting through the waves, Su Yang raced back with freestyle speed, rejoining the others.
"Dude, you went way too far! We’ve been yelling forever!" Liu Bo splashed.
"First time in the ocean—got carried away," Su Yang admitted sheepishly.
"Luckily the waves aren’t too strong today, or you’d have had a hard time swimming back. I was so nervous my toes curled up, you know?"
"Heh, relax, I’m not going any farther. Just staying here to play. Hey, where’d those girls go?"
"Over by the shore—they didn’t dare go too deep," Zhang Ziming said, glancing toward the beach.
Su Yang grinned and nudged him. "Come on, let’s swim over and join them."
"Hah, I was just thinking the same thing!" Meng Wenzhou laughed.
