Chapter 174: Though it's expensive, it's incredibly fun.

Once Cheng Jiao left.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

The three of them looked at each other and let out a primal howl simultaneously.

The screams echoed and reverberated throughout the spacious area~~

Shen Qingxue: "Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"

Song Xinyao: "Am I crazy, or is this world crazy?"

Shen Qingxue wandered around the room: "This is too awesome! Is this a house that humans can build? Are you sure it's not AI? It's too awesome; it's simply impossible to describe in words!"

Song Xinyao pinched her arm hard. "Hiss! That hurts! It's real, it's actually all real! I wouldn't even dare to dream of a place like this."

Shen Qingxue was so excited that she started running wildly around the room. "This huge living room! These floor-to-ceiling windows! This atmosphere! This bed! This sofa! These lights!"

"You guys, come look at this." After running around, Shen Qingxue finally opened a door and started calling out to them.

Hearing this, Ling Yue and Song Xinyao jogged over; the room was just too big.

They arrived at the room Shen Qingxue had entered.

Before their eyes was a split-bathroom design, with platinum-colored fixtures and matte black floor tiles—simple yet extremely luxurious.

The bathtub, toilet, and vanity all faced the ocean, so no matter what they were doing, they could enjoy this invincible sea view.

Song Xinyao swallowed hard and let out a simple, honest exclamation: "I can't imagine how satisfying it would be to take a dump in a place like this." After saying that, she suddenly laughed: "But privacy... doesn't seem to be guaranteed."

"There's a control panel here, it seems it can be atomized." Song Xinyao waved at Ling Yue and the other, grateful that she hadn't returned her English vocabulary to her teacher yet.

She clicked the button, and the window indeed turned into a frosted, misty white.

Thank goodness, it could be closed when using the toilet or showering. Otherwise, even if she knew there was no one on the other side of the ocean, what if someone passed by on a yacht? If she got filmed, she'd be gossiped about by people all over the world—how embarrassing.

"I didn't feel much when I saw it on the tablet before, but I didn't expect this house to be so awesome in reality!" Ling Yue was extremely satisfied with the living environment for this trip.

"Let's go, let's go look elsewhere!" Shen Qingxue pulled the two of them out.

The master bedroom area was huge, with many hidden doors inside.

There was a yoga room, a steam room, a small bar room, a conference room, and an independent secret door connecting to the large living room.

There was also one that, when opened, led to a slide that went straight into the infinity pool!

The three of them looked at each other.

Ling Yue: "Change into swimsuits!"

With the order given, the three of them rushed towards their suitcases in unison.

"Damn, this bikini of yours is a bit revealing, isn't it?" Ling Yue glanced at the few strings in Shen Qingxue's hand, finding it hard to accept.

Shen Qingxue's opulent nails lightly brushed over her collarbone, and she winked at Ling Yue. "I spent money to train this body, so I have to show it off! What the hell are you afraid of? There are barely any people here."

"In that case." Ling Yue ripped out the swimsuit she had been saving for a special occasion. "I'm bringing out my red battle robe!"

"Ahhhhh! Yours is also so revealing." Song Xinyao's little face turned flushed.

Looking down at the pink, cute kitten swimsuit in her hands, it was also super adorable.

The three of them quickly changed into swimsuits, and even Zang Lanyi changed into a flexible and lightweight athletic swimsuit.

They arrived at the entrance of the slide.

Shen Qingxue went first, Zang Lanyi was last, and the four of them slid down the chute one after another, landing in the infinity pool with a "thump, thump, thump" like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The pool was huge, and the slide was close to the wall, so there was absolutely no need to worry about sliding out.

Once they hit the water, before Ling Yue could even start paddling, someone grabbed her arm to pull her up.

Zang Lanyi pulled Ling Yue up, and seeing that she was fine, she slowly got out of the water, stood on the side watching them play, and acted as a temporary lifeguard.

"Can I just say? This pool is bigger than my hometown's ancestral house and farmland combined!" Shen Qingxue splashed the water. "How can life be this awesome! My god, this is just too beautiful!"

She couldn't find any other adjectives besides 'awesome'.

"But my good sister, this is just the appetizer." After saying that, Ling Yue dove into the water and swam towards the edge of the pool.

"I love it when you say that." Shen Qingxue followed closely behind.

Song Xinyao stood in the pool, her hands floating on the surface, moving forward with difficulty. "Wait for me, I can't swim."

Shen Qingxue had no choice but to stop and pull her forward.

This big pool, it really was big!

It took quite a while to reach the edge.

"No, no, I'm a bit afraid of heights." Song Xinyao closed her eyes and held onto the person next to her's arm tightly.

Ling Yue tilted her head up. "Don't stare at the ground, you need to look straight at the world."

Song Xinyao took two deep breaths and slowly opened her eyes.

With just one glance, she couldn't look away anymore. "So beautiful."

At this moment, the sky was as clear as if washed, the sea was boundless, only warm sunlight poured in, and the salty sea breeze brushed against their faces.

They had an immersive experience for a minute.

Shen Qingxue pointed to a beach washed by blue-green waves. "Where is that? Can we go down and play?"

Song Xinyao got excited. "Damn, let's go, let's go, hurry up and claim the territory, there's no one there right now!"

Ling Yue recalled it slightly.

She grabbed Song Xinyao, who was about to run off. "That's our private beach, what's the rush? It's not going anywhere."

"Pri... private beach? Is it what I think it means?" Song Xinyao stuttered.

Ling Yue nodded. "I booked the villa for 10 days. During these 10 days, only we can use that beach."

"We can go whenever we want, no waiting in line, no crowds, no one to disturb us."

"Damn it, having money is just awesome!" Shen Qingxue shed tears, not knowing if they were tears of envy or happiness.

Song Xinyao murmured: "How much must this cost... Family, it's another day where my view on money is being severely impacted."

Ling Yue recalled.

Just renting the villa seemed to cost 120 million. All the tips for service staff, bodyguard fees, doctor fees, etc., were paid separately, which didn't seem low either, probably around 18 million? She hadn't looked closely.

It was indeed burning money.

But it was truly joyful!

"Forget about all that stuff, just let loose and play!" Shen Qingxue exerted a little force, and her body drifted back with the water current.

She said to Ling Yue with a grin: "Come on, let's race."

"One, two, three, go!" Ling Yue shouted and charged, not giving Shen Qingxue any reaction time, and swam quite a distance away.

Shen Qingxue was both shocked and delighted. "Damn, I knew you were only honest on the surface, but secretly full of little tricks—you're black-bellied!"

After saying that, she dove into the water to chase after Ling Yue.

Song Xinyao stood in place, anxious: "Wait, how am I supposed to get back?"

Wuu wuu wuu... ignoring me!

Tears dampened her little pudding, and she vowed not to let anyone look down on her!

She had to work hard to adapt to this kind of good life.

In the future, she had to learn how to identify real versus fake goods, learn how to swim, play golf, and so on; otherwise, if she couldn't play along, how could she enjoy life?

Ling Yue swam to the shore and waved at the translator waiting on the side.

This translator was provided by the villa.

She was of Chinese-Italian descent.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Ling Yue: "Are there any swimming coaches? Teach my friend."

The translator nodded. "Yes, I will have them come over to meet you."

Ling Yue waved her hand, signaling her to make the arrangements.

Before long.

The villa butler brought three men and three women draped in bathrobes to the poolside.

Underneath their bathrobes, the women wore relatively modest one-piece swimsuits, while the men all exposed their toned and muscular upper bodies and tight swimming trunks.

The villa butler chattered a string of Italian.

The translator translated this for Ling Yue: "These six are all children of the sea who grew up by the seaside and hold qualification certificates."

"Oh my, oh my! Children of the sea~~~ Song Xinyao, you have to choose carefully~~~" Shen Qingxue raised her eyebrows slightly, the smile at the corner of her mouth very meaningful.

"Oh my, how could I be embarrassed?" Suddenly, Song Xinyao's annoying voice came to her ear.

Ling Yue tilted her head sharply, scanned her up and down in disbelief, and laughed: "Didn't you say you couldn't swim? When did you get over here?"

Song Xinyao blushed deeply.

Her gaze wandered over the trainers.

Especially the three toned men.

Ling Yue was just about to laugh and scold: You dirty-minded girl.

When she saw Song Xinyao point to a girl with a medium build and say: "Her, let's go with her."

The translator looked at Ling Yue.

Ling Yue looked at Song Xinyao. "Not bad, you've grown! Knowing how to restrain yourself, knowing how to be modest..."

Song Xinyao rolled her eyes: "I just don't want to share the bathwater in the same pool with men."

Shen Qingxue swam over. "Some people, oh, their mouths are so sharp in private, turning everything black, white, or red into yellow, but in real life, they're just a little coward."

"I'm not talking to you guys anymore!" Song Xinyao swam away angrily.

Looking closely, this girl's ears and neck were bright red.

Verdict: A pure all-talk-no-action person.

Ling Yue nodded to the translator.

The translator turned to negotiate with the villa butler.

The chosen girl was full of excitement, while the trainers who weren't chosen had a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

A good vacation shouldn't leave anyone disappointed.

Ling Yue waved her hand, and Zang Lanyi immediately understood, unzipped her fanny pack, pulled out a stack of 100-euro bills, and handed a few to each of the trainers.

Now no one was disappointed, and their steps were light.
