Tease in Stream Oasis by Shanghai China Girl Napkin

The Shanghai twilight painted the sky in hues of rose and lavender, casting long shadows across the palace gardens. A young woman, Xiuying, meandered through the manicured grounds, the air thick with the sweet scent of night jasmine. Her laughter, like wind chimes, danced on the breeze as she approached a hidden stream, a secret oasis tucked away from the watchful eyes of the household. --- Xiuying was a vision of youthful beauty. Her skin, the colour of the finest porcelain, held a hint of rose, a natural blush that seemed permanently etched on her cheeks. Her black hair, as smooth as cascading water, tumbled down her shoulders in gentle waves. Her figure, though slender, possessed a subtle voluptuousness. The pale pink dress she wore clung lovingly to her curves, the fabric whispering against her skin with every playful step. --- Reaching the stream, Xiuying squealed with delight. The water, cool and inviting, babbled over smooth stones, its surface reflecting the fading light in a million shimmering diamonds. With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she dipped a tentative toe into the water, testing its temperature. A shiver danced down her spine, sending goosebumps erupting across her flawless skin. --- Suddenly, a surge of playful defiance coursed through her. With a toss of her head, she sent the raven tresses flying. Reaching for the hem of her dress, she lifted it playfully, revealing a glimpse of toned legs that ascended to smooth, creamy thighs. She knew she was walking a tightrope; the fabric needed to be high enough to avoid getting ruined, yet low enough to hint at the hidden treasures beneath. --- Xiuying stepped into the stream, the cool water swirling around her ankles, sending a gasp escaping her lips. She winced playfully, the water both refreshing and shocking against her heated skin. She began to wade deeper, the current tugging playfully at her dress, threatening to expose more than she intended. But Xiuying was a master of this game, her laughter echoing as she danced a playful jig, the water swirling around her calves and thighs. --- As she ventured further, the water lapped against the hem of her dress, the thin fabric turning almost transparent. The outline of her legs, smooth and toned, was clearly visible beneath the wet material. A playful glint flickered in her eyes as she realised the precarious situation her playful dance had created. Was it an accident, or a deliberate tease? The answer danced on her lips, unspoken, a secret invitation hanging heavy in the twilight air. --- Made by Artist Yuan XiuTang 1930–1949.
