123: Chapter 123 Yingxue cleverly provokes a talkative girl

Meanwhile, in the Bai family villa.

Bai Lulu felt like she was about to spontaneously combust!

She was wearing a cool silk nightgown, her hair still slightly damp and draped over her shoulders, pacing barefoot across the floor.

Several light screens were suspended in front of her, densely packed with the "treasured collections" she had dug out from various encrypted photo albums.

There were photos taken on private beaches, and others taken at hotel swimming pools.

There were even a few taken in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in her own room...

But at this moment, these photos, which usually made her heart race when she admired them alone, had become the source of her immense inner conflict and shame.

"Which one should I actually send..."

She grabbed her hair in frustration, feeling her cheeks hot enough to fry an egg.

Too normal? No way! How is that any different from the conservative ones sent yesterday? Lin Yun would definitely think she was just brushing him off!

And... that idiot Little Bean might actually send something daring...

Too sexy? Her finger slid over a photo—it was one she had taken while vacationing on a tropical island last year.

Wearing an astonishingly skimpy black string bikini, with a bold pose and a hazy gaze... just looking at it made her feel breathless.

No, no! This one is absolutely out of the question! If she sent this, she would die of shame and embarrassment!

She had been agonizing over these photos for nearly an hour! She had started selecting the moment she came out of the bathroom, and now, with her hair almost dry, she still hadn't picked a single one!

"How about... I just pick one at random..." she thought, giving up on herself, her gaze landing on one of the "relatively" middle-ground photos.

It was taken by a private infinity pool, where she was wearing an intricately designed red bikini.

The top was a halter style, the bottom was a bikini brief, and she had a sheer red gauze cover-up over it.

In the photo, she was turned sideways to the camera, the gauze cover-up lifted by the wind, vaguely revealing the swimsuit underneath and her beautiful waistline.

She looked back with a smile, her eyes carrying a hint of laziness and flirtation.

She had actually only worn this swimsuit once at a private party with only female classmates. At the time, it was to spite Little Bean, who had been dressed very conservatively, so she had specifically chosen this set.

Although daring, at least... there was a layer of gauze covering it.

But... did she really want to send this one? Her finger hovered over the virtual send button, unable to press it for a long time.

It felt... still so revealing... the gauze might as well not be there...

And, to let a man see her dressed like this... Just imagining the scene when Lin Yun opened this photo made her feel all the blood rushing to her head, her heart beating so fast it felt like it would shatter her chest.

Just as she was caught in an internal tug-of-war, her fingers trembling— "Ding-dong!" The Communicator suddenly rang!

The crisp notification sound was exceptionally jarring in the quiet room! Bai Lulu shuddered, and her finger, which was already hovering over the send button, was startled by the sudden sound and subconsciously pressed it!

"Whoosh—" The notification sound for a successful send followed.

Bai Lulu froze in place, her mind going blank.

After several seconds, as if scalded, she violently threw the Communicator aside, as if it were some terrifying monster.

"Ahhh! I sent it! I actually sent it!" She covered her face, crouched on the floor, and let out a series of wails of shame and despair.

However, before she could recover from the shock of this "accidental" send— "Ding-dong!" The Communicator she had thrown aside rang again.

Bai Lulu's body jerked violently. She... didn't she just send it? Lin Yun had... replied already?

Could it be... an evaluation? Or... a question?

She tremblingly reached out, picked up the Communicator, took a few deep breaths, and finally summoned the courage to open it.

Sender: Lin Yun. The content was only three short words, but it struck her like a thunderbolt, leaving her stunned: [Is that it?]

Bai Lulu: "..."

Is that it? Is that it?! An indescribable sense of embarrassment, unwillingness, and a trace of anger at being looked down upon instantly washed away her brief relief of "finally being free."

She gripped the Communicator, feeling her eyes start to burn.

What am I doing... Telling you to compete with Little Bean! Telling you to show off! Telling you to send photos!

She raised her other hand and annoyedly slapped the hand that had "caused the trouble."

But... Lin Yun's "question" still hung there. [Is that it?]

The cold two words seemed to mock her "boldness" during the day and her "perfunctoriness" at night.

Yes, who said it themselves today, that they would resend it, send the "right" one, and not just brush it off... What to do now?

Bai Lulu looked at the red gauze swimsuit photo she had already sent on the light screen. Looking again at those two words on the Communicator, a huge sense of grievance and an urge to just give up and let things happen welled up.

...

Lin Family Villa, master bedroom.

Su Yingxue held Lin Yun's Communicator, looked at the photo of the red gauze swimsuit that Bai Lulu had just sent, and pouted.

"Tsk... this one... is a bit bolder than yesterday's, but... it still lacks flavor!"

She was obviously not very satisfied, feeling that Bai Lulu still hadn't shown "sincerity."

She rolled her eyes, and she picked up Lin Yun's Communicator directly. Mimicking the slightly playful and oppressive tone Lin Yun usually used, she quickly typed two words and sent them. [Is that it?]

Sent successfully! Su Yingxue triumphantly shook the Communicator: "Look! Didn't that force it out? To deal with this kind of big talker, you have to use provocation!"

The other women gathered around, and upon seeing the photo and the "Is that it?" comment, they couldn't help but laugh.

"Sister Yingxue, you are so bad~" Lin Qianxi covered her mouth and giggled.

"But this one is actually quite good; it captures that lazy yet slightly sexy temperament of Bai Lulu." Shen Youqing commented objectively.

"But it's still not 'hot' enough, right?" Chen Yuwei blinked. "Compared to the red bikini that Little Sister Shiyu secretly took yesterday, it's still lacking a bit."

Just as everyone was discussing and guessing how Bai Lulu would respond— "Ding-dong!" Another crisp notification sound!

This time, the sender was displayed as— Qiao Shiyu!

"Wow! Little Sister Shiyu sent it!" Su Yingxue's eyes instantly lit up like searchlights, and she clicked it impatiently!

A high-definition image loaded instantly, and the connected ultra-high-definition Virtual Projection Device projected it directly into the open space in the center of the room as a perfect 3D image.

In an instant, the entire room seemed to go quiet.

The background of the picture seemed to be by a very private, luxuriously decorated indoor heated swimming pool.

Warm-toned lighting fell softly. Qiao Shiyu was wearing a... extremely daring silver-white bikini!

Yes, a bikini! Not the cute two-piece style she usually liked, nor the relatively conservative one-piece. It was a real, minimalist bikini with fabric reduced to the extreme!
