Chapter 159 
I was by no means a pervert. I only wanted to know what was so magical 

about men’s abs that the authors had to mention them in every romance 
-novel. I didn’t have any dirty thoughts about Colin. 
“What are you looking at?” 
He asked me as he swam up to me. 
“Colin, can I touch your abs?” I whispered while pulling him lower. 
His ears instantly flushed. He glared at me angrily, ignored me, and dove into the water. He swam away like a fish. 
I was just curious about his abs. His reaction was too exaggerated. 
Unexpectedly, he was still innocent despite almost turning 30. He was even blushing! 
It was my first successful attempt at teasing Colin! 
I got tired after swimming two laps, so I lay on the beach chair and admired the scenery with my sunglasses on. 
Rather than admiring the scenery, I was actually admiring Colin, 
looked like a merman. 
who 
I wasn’t aware of when he appeared beside me, his tall body shielding me from the scorching sun. 
I even wondered if he was doing this intentionally as I could see his eight- pack abs clearly. They looked so perfect that they could make me go crazy. 
Colin was indeed handsome. It was a pity that he wasn’t mine. 
I gulped secretly. Clénching my fists, I tried hard to keep myself in control so that I wouldn’t make any moves that would embarrass and anger him. 
If you want to admire, just do it openly. Don’t go peeking around.” Colin raised his eyebrows as if hinting at my shamelessness in peeking at him. 
That was weird. I was wearing sunglasses. How did he find out I was 
peeking? That was amazing of him! 
“Hmph, what’s there to admire? If you’re truly so confident, let me have a touch!” After saying that, I wanted to kill myself. 
What did I just say? How could I, as someone who grew up in a good environment, say such lewd words? I even said it twice! My parents would be ashamed if they heard that! 
The embarrassment I felt made me simmer. 
“You want to touch me?” Colin hoarsely asked as he approached me. It scared me so much that I shrank toward the other side. 
He sneered. “Why are you dodging? You coward.” 
“I’m not! What’s so great about having abs? I’m not interested in touching them! Besides, it’s inappropriate for me to touch you. I’ll touch Matt’s.” 
Colin paused. Although I couldn’t see his expression clearly through the sunglasses, I felt a sudden chill. 
Logically speaking, the October weather in Southsville shouldn’t be this 
cold. 
“If you don’t dare to touch me, just admit it. You don’t need to make 
excuses. 
Even though I knew he was provoking me, I still inevitably stepped into his trap. I’d always lose to him. 
I wasn’t a competitive person and usually advocated for peace. But I couldn’t stand Colin’s provocation and became impulsive. 
“I dare to! They’re just abs. Why would I be timid? Come here! I’ll touch you

right now!” 
I sat up abruptly, ready to touch him with extraordinary courage. 
However, I was just in my early 20s, after all. I had never been exposed to the male body. Regardless of what I said, I admitted I was timid when taking 
action. 
The distance between my fingers and his abs was short, but I still hesitated 
to touch him. 
I was too impulsive. How should I make my retreat without risking him laughing at me?
