Early morning.
The sky was still veiled in a faint blue-gray mist, and the air carried a slight chill.
A black chauffeured car had already pulled up beneath the steps outside Donghu Club and was waiting quietly.
Su Bai had changed into a dark, casual hoodie and a pair of loose trousers. He walked down the stairs at an unhurried pace.
Following behind him were Zhou Jialu and Ke Yujia.
Zhou Jialu was dressed in a cream-colored, figure-hugging knitted cardigan over a black camisole, paired with high-waisted, wide-leg trousers that draped beautifully. As she walked, they accentuated her full, graceful curves to perfection.
She had casually gathered her long hair and pinned it at the back of her head, revealing a stretch of fair, delicate neck. Her entire appearance exuded a mature, alluring charm.
Ke Yujia, walking beside her, had a completely different style.
The petite girl wore a soft light-pink hoodie and a pleated skirt, with her legs wrapped in her signature white stockings and a pair of spotless white sneakers on her feet.
She carried a delicate little handbag and followed close behind, looking sweet and lively.
“Did you bring everything?” Su Bai asked casually, glancing back at the two women.
“Don’t worry, junior.” Zhou Jialu shook the small handbag in her hand and said with a bright smile, “Sunscreen, a change of clothes, and the things you usually use—I checked everything twice. Nothing was left behind.”
Ke Yujia nodded lightly as well, her voice soft and sweet. “Brother Su Bai, I’ve packed everything too.”
“Good. Let’s go.”
The driver promptly got out, placed their luggage in the trunk, and opened the car door for them.
Half an hour later, the chauffeured car arrived smoothly at Jiangcheng Tianhe International Airport.
They checked in and passed through security via the VIP lane. The entire process took little more than ten minutes.
Their destination this time was Yuhai Province.
Located along the southeastern coast, Yuhai Province possessed naturally excellent harbors. Its waters were clear, and it offered outstanding resources for sea fishing and water sports.
The luxury yacht, more than eighty feet long, that Mr. Zhang had arranged for Su Bai was currently docked and waiting at a coastal harbor in Yuhai Province.
After the ground staff in the waiting lounge confirmed their information, they smiled and led the three of them aboard ahead of the other passengers.
For Su Bai and the two women, who traveled first class year-round, the spacious private cabins, leather reclining seats, and exclusive drinks were nothing new.
When Ke Yujia had first started flying first class with Su Bai, she had been somewhat reserved and curious. By now, however, she had grown accustomed to this relaxed, unhurried way of traveling.
After boarding, the three of them took seats in nearby private compartments.
First class offered excellent privacy. Every seat came with its own sliding door and a half-enclosed partition.
The flight attendant crouched beside them and gently brought over warm water, freshly squeezed fruit juice, and hot towels.
“Sir, our estimated flight time is one hour and forty minutes. If you need anything after takeoff, please press the call button at any time.”
“Thank you.”
Su Bai nodded and casually picked up a magazine.
Accompanied by the low, steady rumble of the engines, the plane accelerated along the runway before lifting its nose and soaring into the sky.
The city outside the window gradually shrank, becoming neat geometric patches of color before disappearing completely beneath a thick sea of clouds resembling cotton candy.
About twenty minutes later, a soft chime sounded in the cabin. The seat belt sign went out, and an announcement informed the passengers that the plane had reached a stable cruising altitude.
The first-class cabin was exceptionally quiet. Apart from the faint sound of air currents, there was almost no other noise.
Su Bai had just adjusted his seat into a comfortable reclined position and was preparing to rest his eyes for a while when an almost imperceptible sound came from the sliding door beside him.
He opened his eyes.
Zhou Jialu and Ke Yujia were standing one behind the other at the entrance to his compartment.
With a smile playing at the corners of her lips, Zhou Jialu leaned lazily against the doorframe, her eyes gleaming and her figure relaxed.
Behind her, Ke Yujia’s fair little face was tinged with a faint blush. Her clear, bright eyes blinked repeatedly, revealing a hint of shyness along with unmistakable anticipation.
The two women exchanged a knowing smile.
The playfulness and mischief in their eyes made words completely unnecessary.
The next moment, Zhou Jialu casually pulled the sliding door from the aisle mostly shut, blocking the view from outside, and led Ke Yujia into Su Bai’s spacious compartment.
The private first-class space was roomy enough that three people could sit inside without feeling cramped.
Zhou Jialu naturally settled down beside the armrest of Su Bai’s broad seat, crossing her long, shapely legs slightly to one side. The faint, sweet scent of her perfume immediately filled the air.
Ke Yujia obediently walked around to the other side and crouched beside the ottoman, resting her chin in her hands as she looked up at Su Bai. Her slender legs beneath the hem of her skirt, covered in white stockings, were especially eye-catching.
Su Bai raised an eyebrow and looked at the two uninvited visitors with an amused, knowing smile.
“Why aren’t you two resting in your own seats? What brings you over here?”
Leaning against the headrest, Su Bai let his gaze travel over them and teased, “What is this? Are you planning to give me some special first-class service?”
Instead of becoming embarrassed, Zhou Jialu’s smile grew even more mischievous.
She extended a slender, pale finger and lightly brushed it along Su Bai’s chin, her eyes seductive as those of a little fox.
“Junior, what are you thinking?”
Zhou Jialu leaned a little closer, her warm breath brushing lightly against his ear. Her voice dropped into a soft, low murmur.
“We noticed the plane had just finished climbing, and we were worried your ears might be uncomfortable. We came over specially to help relieve the pressure.”
“Relieve the pressure?”
Su Bai laughed.
“With my physical condition, this little bit of altitude wouldn’t even make my eardrums notice. Do I really need your help?”
“Of course. It’s always better to prevent problems before they happen.”
Zhou Jialu said this with complete justification as she gently placed both hands on Su Bai’s shoulders.
She kept her touch soft, her fingertips slowly tracing upward along the back of his neck before finally stopping behind his ears, where she began massaging in small, measured circles.
“How does that feel? Is it comfortable?”
As she massaged him, Zhou Jialu moved a little closer. The soft warmth of her body brushed lightly against his arm.
Seeing this, Ke Yujia also edged closer, her face flushed.
“Brother Su Bai, I…I learned a relaxation technique.”
Speaking softly, Ke Yujia raised her fair, slender hands and gently placed them beside his other cheek and ear.
She practiced dance year-round, which had left her fingers especially supple and graceful. Their slightly cool temperature created an exceptionally soothing sensation against his skin.
Leaning forward slightly, the girl moved close to his earlobe and, imitating Zhou Jialu, gently breathed out a warm puff of air.
“Try swallowing…or opening your mouth. That will help equalize the pressure.”
Although Ke Yujia spoke in a perfectly serious tone, her large eyes were filled with unconcealed shyness and amusement.
“You call this relieving ear pressure?”
Su Bai could feel the stark contrast in touch and warmth on either side of him: Zhou Jialu’s mature, graceful closeness on one side, and Ke Yujia’s coy, soft probing on the other.
“Of course.”
Zhou Jialu blinked and deliberately leaned closer, her red lips nearly brushing Su Bai’s ear as her breath carried a sweet fragrance.
“If the massage doesn’t work, the butler also has a deeper treatment method. Would you like to give it a try?”
As she spoke, her restless fingers had already slipped from the side of his neck to his collar, giving it a gentle tug.
Ke Yujia watched from beside them, her pretty face flushed like a ripe apple. Yet she did not retreat. Instead, she pressed her lips together with a mischievous smile and reached over to straighten the slightly disheveled collar on Su Bai’s other side, her fingertips occasionally brushing lightly across his collarbone.
The two women worked together seamlessly, one on either side.
Their lips claimed they were only there to provide health care and relieve the pressure in his ears, but their hands and movements were full of playful mischief.
Inside the quiet, enclosed first-class cabin, the air seemed to grow warmer from their antics.
Su Bai could only laugh helplessly at their performance. He reached out and wrapped one arm around Zhou Jialu’s slender, supple waist, while his other hand naturally pinched Ke Yujia’s soft cheek.
The two girls were certainly being mischievous, but they had made Su Bai’s journey a great deal more enjoyable.
