When it was Raiden Mei's turn, her face was red like a fully ripe apple, the whole time keeping her head down and not daring to look at Van.
When his finger accidentally touched her waist, Raiden Mei almost jumped up, also letting out a seductive whimper from her mouth.
Fu Hua appeared the calmest, but her slightly trembling eyelashes revealed her nervousness.
Van could feel the muscles on her body were tightly tensed, and only after finishing applying did she quietly let out a breath of relief.
As for Sirin, at first she stubbornly said she didn't need it, but after being provoked by Ivana, she had to unwillingly lie down.
But the moment Van's hand touched her back, her face instantly turned red enough to drip blood.
To prevent others from seeing her embarrassment, she could only bury her face deep into her arms, pretending to be an ostrich.
At the side, watching Van applying sunscreen to the girls so intimately, Otto looked thoughtful.
After a while, he cleared his throat and, pretending to be calm, looked at Kallen who was chatting and laughing with Yae Sakura.
"Kallen, the sunlight at this time of day is rather harsh. Do you want to apply some sunscreen?"
Kallen turned her head at his words, smiling brightly, "Sure!"
Otto's eyes lit up at once, and his hand already reached for the sunscreen bottle.
However, the next second...
"Sakura, help me apply it!" Kallen naturally turned toward Yae Sakura beside her.
Otto's smile instantly froze.
He could only watch helplessly as Yae Sakura took the sunscreen, her slender fingers gently spreading it across Kallen's smooth back.
Even worse, Kallen even squinted comfortably, letting out a satisfied sigh.
"Apply here too~" Kallen pointed to the area near her shoulders and underarms.
Yae Sakura understood instantly, and her movements became even gentler.
This déjà vu of "public wife theft" made Otto's face turn from pale to blue, and then finally flush bright red.
At that moment, an even more devastating scene appeared, "Now it's my turn to apply for you, Sakura!"
After finishing, Kallen immediately took the sunscreen again, excitedly wanting to apply it to Yae Sakura.
"No... no need..." Yae Sakura declined with a red face, but was pulled back by Kallen.
"Don't be shy!" Kallen had already squeezed out a big glob of sunscreen. "Look at your fair skin, it'd be such a shame if it got sunburned."
Otto stood in place, feeling the sunlight above his head especially dazzling.
He subconsciously looked up and found that he was standing under a bright green parasol.
He didn't know when this umbrella was opened, but its vividly green surface stood out under the sunlight, casting a shadow that enveloped him completely.
Pfft~
Not far away, Ivana suddenly burst out laughing, but as if she felt her laughter was a bit inappropriate, she quickly covered her mouth.
But her trembling shoulders still betrayed her.
After a long while, Ivana leaned close to Van's ear and whispered, "Old man, did you see Otto's expression? I'm dying of laughter."
Van looked at Otto's darkened face, and how he took the green parasol and threw it aside, and couldn't help but laugh out loud too.
After resting for a while, the restless Kiana again called everyone to go play in the sea.
As she spoke, Kiana stood up first, grabbing Raiden Mei's hand and running toward the sea.
Raiden Mei stumbled a bit from the tug, laughing and shouting, "Kiana, slow down~"
But soon, Raiden Mei was infected by Kiana's enthusiasm and followed her into the sea.
Accompanied by the girls' crisp laughter, splashes of water rose along the shore.
On the other side, Sirin stood at the shore watching the two playing joyfully, hesitating.
Just as she was still thinking whether to join in or not, Ivana gave her a push from behind.
"Sirin, what are you spacing out for? Come play!"
Unsteady, she fell into the water, and angrily got up to chase and hit Ivana.
The two of them chased and splashed each other in the water, the splashes glittering under the sunlight.
Fu Hua chose a quieter place, slowly walking into the sea.
She floated on her back on the water surface, eyes closed, feeling the rhythm of the sea.
Van stood not far away, watching this group of energetic girls, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rising.
"Hey, old man!" Ivana suddenly popped up from the water, grabbing Van's arm. "Don't just watch, come join us!"
Before Van could react, he was dragged into the water.
Seeing this, Kiana immediately joined the fray, splashing water on Van together with Ivana.
Raiden Mei hesitated for a moment, then also quietly joined in.
Even Sirin took the chance to take revenge, splashing a large handful of water onto Van's face.
"Alright, alright, so that's how you want to play!" Van wiped his face, smiling as he fought back. "Then don't blame me for being rude~"
In an instant, water splashed everywhere on the sea surface, and laughter continued without end.
Standing on the shore, Otto quietly watched this scene, his eyes showing a trace of envy.
Van was surrounded like the stars around the moon, and the gazes of those girls toward him all carried an unconcealed fondness.
Such a scene made Otto involuntarily recall all the sacrifices Van had made in the past to save the world.
"This guy... has finally tasted sweetness after all the bitterness." Otto muttered softly.
Although Otto always liked to tease Van on how to handle the relationships between the many girls, but he had to admit, what Van received now, was everything he deserved.
After all, not everyone is willing to give so much for the sake of saving others.
Thinking of this, Otto's thoughts drifted again to another question.
Who exactly was the one who exposed all these past events?
Why did that mysterious existence do this?
What exactly was their purpose?
Was it good will, or was there an ulterior motive?
After playing till they were tired, everyone returned to the beach.
Kiana touched her slightly shriveled stomach and said loudly, "I'm a bit hungry, how about we go eat something?"
Ivana was the first to respond, "Yeah yeah~ What do you all think about barbecue? That place from yesterday."
"Sounds great!" Sirin nodded. "Watching you guys eat so happily yesterday, I want to try it too."
After packing everything up, the group grandly headed toward Qianjie's barbecue stall.
From afar, they saw a pink-haired girl sitting at the stall, eating skewers with great delight.
When she saw who was coming, Elysia's eyes lit up, and her face bloomed with a brilliant smile as she waved to everyone, "Hi~ Long time no see~"
