Chapter 578 - 590: There are Sharks in the Sea
After much fuss, the three girls finally let go of Li Yifei and Su Mengxin, while Su Mengxin reluctantly released Li Yifei. She really wished the game could go on so she could keep holding onto Li Yifei like this.
Wiping the water from her face, Su Mengxin said, "Okay, I’m done goofing around with you guys. Yifei, let’s go prepare some barbecue. When you’ve had enough fun, come and eat."
The three of them eagerly agreed and then swam back into the sea, while Li Yifei and Su Mengxin made their way to the beach. A barbecue grill had already been set up, along with a variety of ingredients. This was the lifestyle of the wealthy: they wanted for nothing, and they didn’t have to lift a finger to prepare anything themselves—someone would always take care of it for them.
They sat by the grill, slowly roasting meat skewers. Su Mengxin looked at Li Yifei across the grill and smiled, "You’ve seen how wild these girls can get, haven’t you?"
Li Yifei laughed and replied, "Yeah, they really are wild. My sister Shanshan is usually quite a handful at home, but she’s nothing compared to them. However, it’s nice to see that they have a good relationship with you."
"Mhm, we’ve been playing together since we were kids, so we’re very close. After I started working, they continued to live carefree as before. Sometimes, I think that their worry-free lives are actually much happier than mine."
Li Yifei looked at Su Mengxin seriously and said, "But living like that seems like they lack ambition. You have grand goals, which make your life more exciting."
"I used to think that way too, but lately, I’ve felt that such a life isn’t what I need. An exciting life doesn’t necessarily bring happiness; sometimes, it’s the simple things that are truly memorable. I would also like to set aside my work and be a carefree girl, but right now, there’s no one suitable to take over my responsibilities, so I can’t let go just yet."
As Su Mengxin spoke, there was a hint of melancholy in her expression. Li Yifei understood her feelings. It was similar to what he had gone through before: he used to think only of getting stronger, but upon reflection, what was the point of it all? In the end, living an ordinary life was the key to true happiness and contentment.
For a moment, both were silent. Then, Su Mengxin looked up at Li Yifei and asked, "Yifei, what do you think I should do?"
