The two were having a great time. When Allen saw her approaching and was about to say something, Lily's voice came from his back.

"Allen, do you remember Halloween when we were kids? We went trick - or - treating, and you got scared and cried by a 'ghost'."

As she spoke, she laughed heartily, her chest rising and falling against Allen's back, and the hands around his neck swaying casually.

Allen's face twitched. He secretly glanced at Cisco, who had tears in her eyes, and didn't feel like laughing at all.

"Not only did you cry, but you also wet your pants."

"I was the one who gave you a bath later..."

"Ahem, let's not talk about those embarrassing childhood things."

Allen looked at Cisco, who was standing still in the distance, with a guilty conscience, afraid that she might hear.

Cisco raised her fair hand to wipe away the tears.

"Hey, Allen, your bad - tempered girlfriend is finally back."

"I told you, where could she go alone..."

Cisco was quite calm at the moment. "Bad - tempered? Lily, don't you have a temper?"

Hearing her question, Lily tilted her head. "Of course not. Allen used to say that I have an extremely good temper and that I'm the most suitable one to marry."

Cisco shrugged and nodded in agreement. "So you're a pushover, easy to be pushed around."

┗|｀O′|┛

Lily's eyelids twitched wildly.

"That's not what I meant..."

"I get it." Cisco smiled gently.

"A good - tempered person is like a nanny, right? But you don't have to worry too much. Filipino maids definitely won't let you compete with them for jobs."

Lily: "..."

What was going on with this Cisco? For so many years, she had been like a stepping - stone for her, but recently, her actions had been surprising her time and time again.

Lily's eyes were blazing with anger. Her already dark face was now covered with a thick cloud of anger, as black as it could be.

Allen felt the long fingernails digging into the soft flesh of his neck and quickly interrupted the two who were in a confrontation.

"Okay, Lily. I think you're tired from playing. Get off my back first. I'm exhausted." Then, feeling that his tone was too harsh, he added, "Let's take a break and then take some more photos..."

Lily pouted. "Fine."

"By the way, Allen, I brought all the bikinis you bought."

"I'll change into another one later for the photos."

"Sure." Allen replied absent - mindedly, his eyes wandering.

"But you have to help me change like you did in the hotel. My injury still hasn't fully healed..." Lily said to herself, and then gave Cisco a provocative look.

Allen guiltily turned his head away and looked at the distant coastline.

"Hey, isn't that something only couples do?"

Orson suddenly appeared from somewhere and walked to Cisco's side.

He looked at the two figures in the distance, scratching his head in confusion.

Cisco gave a cold laugh.

She really had been blind! Lily, this two - faced woman, seemed to be everywhere.

During her relationship with Allen, Lily had never been discreet. She loved to belittle Cisco to boost her own ego. Childhood friend? Heh.

Cisco decided not to endure it anymore.

Unlike her usual gentle smile, she took off her sunglasses. Her almond - shaped eyes were slightly raised, shining brightly, as if she had hidden the vast sea in her eyes, moving with the wind.

Her red lips let out a few cold laughs, making her look cool and sassy.

Perhaps the woman's cold laughter was too harsh, or maybe they had never seen such a scene before.

Allen was so stunned that he stared blankly, completely ignoring Lily's furious expression beside him.

Orson was also taken aback, and the soda in his hand almost dropped to the ground.

Seeing the expressions of the two men,

Lily's eyes were almost spitting fire. To draw the men's attention back to her, she cleared her throat.

"Sister, are you angry because I'm wearing your bikini?..."

She said in a coquettish voice, trying to put on an innocent look to evoke the pity of the other two men.

Cisco didn't bother to pay attention to her.

But she kept on chattering. "Oh, if sister is angry, I can give the clothes back to you. Please don't quarrel with Allen."

"And Cisco, you really don't need to target me all the time. I'm Allen's childhood friend, a good buddy. What could happen between us?"

"If something was going to happen, it wouldn't be your turn."

As she spoke, Lily glanced at Allen.

Allen nodded beside her and was about to speak.

"You're right. I have nothing to be angry about."

Cisco crossed her arms. "But you're right. Everyone has childhood friends, right?"

Under the stunned gazes of the two, she directly took

Orson's hand. Smiling gently, she said, "I'll leave Allen to you. We're breaking up now."

Lily's eyes widened, and a look of unhidden joy appeared on her face.

But Allen's face suddenly changed. He couldn't believe it and his voice rose several decibels. "Cisco, what did you say?"

"I'll give you a chance. Say that again."

Seeing the rare expression on the usually cynical Allen, Cisco also smiled.

"Sure."

"I - want - to - break - up - with - you!" She enunciated each word clearly.

After saying that, she pulled Orson's hand and walked away without looking back.

Seeing their intimate appearance, Allen's face turned ugly, and his brows furrowed.

Noticing Allen's unfriendly expression, Lily jumped up from the ground, stamping her feet in anger.

"Ah!" A sharp pain shot through her slightly red feet.

"Allen, you said Cisco was innocent and had never had a boyfriend. But now it seems she's already hooked up with another man..."

Lily said spitefully, deliberately fanning the flames.

"She was just with you for your money. Poor little guy, he's completely infatuated with her..."

"Shut up!"

Allen's face turned livid, like an enraged lion whose territory had been invaded.

Lily quickly realized that her childhood friend was really angry.

Pouting, she sat on the beach. At this moment, she didn't care about the strong sun.

She just hoped that Cisco would never show up again.

After a while, her eyes rolled, and she said hypocritically, "Allen, you'd better go persuade her. Cisco is about to run away with someone else."

Allen retracted his outstretched foot and sat on the beach, expressionless. "Hmph, who else would like her except me? I'm not going to spoil her. As I said, she'll come back and beg me in a few days."

Lily's eyes were filled with jealous flames, and her fingernails dug deep into the sand.

After walking a certain distance, Cisco let out a sigh of relief.

She was about to take her phone when she realized that her right hand was tightly held by Orson's.

His palm was warm, and soon it became a bit sweaty.

"Um, I'm sorry for using you just now."

Cisco's cheeks turned slightly red, which made her fair and delicate skin even more alluring.

"It doesn't matter."

Orson's voice was hoarse, with a barely perceptible hint of lust.

"Cisco, you saved my life. My body and soul already belong to you."

Orson didn't let go of the soft and tender hand. Instead, he curled his index finger, making circles in the soft palm.

"Ah..."

Sensing the touch in her hand, Cisco retracted her palm as if she had been electrocuted.

The corner of her eye, where the tears had long dried, still had a faint blush, making people want to pinch it.
