On the other side, Ye Linchen did not sleep after seeing off those college students.

She and Shen Yanlin discussed the itinerary for tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow morning we'll be heading to the Tianya Haijiao scenic area with the main group, and the afternoon will be free time.

Shen Yanlin said, "The restaurants near the Tianya Haijiao scenic area aren't very good. There's a hiking trail with tropical rainforest scenery nearby. We have a few options. One is to go back to the city for lunch and then come back to the beach in the afternoon. The other is to go hiking in the afternoon. For lunch, should we just grab something at the scenic area or bring our own food?"

Ye Linchen said enthusiastically, "Bringing your own food is a good idea; it's like having a picnic."

"Yes, we can buy some bread, make sandwiches, and bring some drinks..."

"We could also grill some seafood and bring it with us..."

Just as the two were having a heated discussion, Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan returned in a huff.

Seeing that Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan's faces were flushed and they were cursing as they walked, Ye Linchen knew that they must have had a conflict with someone. He quickly got up, offered his recliner, and gestured for the two of them to sit down.

"You're back so soon? Why didn't you play a little longer?"

Feng Linlin didn't stand on ceremony, plopped down, and waved at her.

"Don't even mention it, there were so many people, everyone was crammed together, like dumplings being boiled in water. If I stretched out my hand a little, it would touch someone's body." She said, fanning herself with her hand and raising her rosy face, "The sun was so strong, it made me dizzy and my vision blurred. I could see the stars even in broad daylight."

"So you had a fight with someone?" Ye Linchen asked, amused.

"No." Lin Xiaojuan sat next to her, frowning with disgust, and said, "Liu Mingxuan and Meng Zihan are here too."

"They're here? Are they here?" Ye Linchen asked hurriedly.

"Absolutely! They're like two leeches, impossible to shake off. They keep coming closer to us, trying to get close to us in every way. Their exaggerated behavior is like that of long-lost relatives," Feng Linlin complained.

Lin Xiaojuan began to tell the story vividly.

"At first, Meng Zihan suddenly appeared out of nowhere and shouted when she saw us, 'Linlin, Xiaojuan, it's been so long since we got together, we really missed you guys.'"

Feng Linlin mimicked Meng Zihan's expression and said in a low voice, "How are things at school? Are you dating anyone? You'd better keep your eyes open and find someone good. Don't end up with someone who's useless and needs your help later. If you don't have any experience, you can ask me. I can teach you some tricks."

Ye Linchen simply couldn't believe it.

"She's way too confident."

Shen Yanlin gave a cold laugh and commented, "Stupid to the point of ignorance."

"Absolutely! The way he looked so smug made me unable to hold back. I wanted to expose Liu Mingxuan's scumbag ways, but then Liu Mingxuan seemed to know, and appeared out of nowhere. Meng Zihan, like a bear seeing honey, pounced on him. After that, the two of them were like conjoined twins, glued together, saying such cheesy things, 'Mingxuan, the waves are so big, I'm so scared, you have to protect me…'"

"I almost threw up my lunch listening to this, it's just too much!" Lin Xiaojuan gagged.

Feng Linlin nodded repeatedly: "That's right! In public, they don't even know how to restrain themselves. If they want to be affectionate, can't they go back to the hotel? Why do they have to come here and disgust us?"

Shen Yanlin looked at the two of them: "I can only express my sympathy for you."

Seeing that the two were getting angrier and angrier, Ye Linchen quickly tried to persuade them.

"Forget it, it's not worth getting angry over someone who's not worth it. It's not worth ruining your health. The sun is too strong right now, be careful not to get sunburned, it'll make you feel uncomfortable for the next few days." She took out her sunscreen from her bag and handed it to Feng Linlin, "Here, quickly put on some more sunscreen."

Feng Linlin thought it made sense, took the sunscreen, and applied it to her arm.

"I really wish a big wave would come and sweep these two nasty jerks away."

Ye Linchen laughed heartily upon hearing this, and then asked the two of them, "Would you like some soda? It's ice-cold, and it'll feel really refreshing to drink and calm you down."

Lin Xiaojuan took the sunscreen from Feng Linlin and said quickly, "Yes, yes, I want to drink it. My throat is sore, I desperately need some soda to soothe it."

"Me too, I want a bottle," Feng Linlin said.

Shen Yanlin smiled and said, "What would you like to drink? I'll go buy it."

Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan shouted in unison, "Cola!"

"Would you like it iced?"

"Yes, the colder the better."

“Okay.” Shen Yanlin got up to buy drinks.

Feng Linlin then said, "I'll give you the money."

Shen Yanlin waved his hand: "No need, it's my treat, consider it a way to calm your nerves."

Seeing that Shen Yanlin had walked away, Lin Xiaojuan hesitated for a moment, then turned to Ye Linchen and asked, "Xiaochen, about Liu Mingxuan, should we... should we tell Meng Zihan about it?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Linlin's eyes widened immediately, and she questioned, "What does Liu Mingxuan have to do with this? Xiao Juan, are you crazy or have you eaten too much? You want to meddle in Meng Zihan's affairs? You know what kind of person she is. Do you think she'll listen to you?"

Lin Xiaojuan sighed and explained to her.

"Linlin, don't be angry. I'm thinking about whether to tell Meng Zihan about Liu Mingxuan pursuing Wang Lina. Meng Zihan thinks that Liu Mingxuan's past misdeeds are in the past and have nothing to do with her. But now Liu Mingxuan is pursuing Wang Lina, which happened during their relationship, so it's a different matter. Maybe this time, Meng Zihan will listen to my advice? Seeing how happy Meng Zihan looked today, I feel a little sorry for her suffering such a big loss."

Ye Linchen shook his head, stopping her.

“I understand how you feel, but Meng Zihan definitely won’t believe it. She always thinks she’s smart and sees through everything, but she’s actually incredibly stupid. If you tell her the truth, she’ll only think you’re jealous of her and deliberately made up a lie to deceive her and steal Liu Mingxuan away. Even if Meng Xueyun herself tries to persuade her, she won’t listen; she’ll only think Meng Xueyun is trying to hinder her happiness.”

"If it were anyone other than Meng Zihan, I wouldn't stop you from doing this, but Meng Zihan really can't do it."

“If Liu Mingxuan really dumps her, she will think you are a jinx who broke them up, and she will hate you even more.”

Lin Xiaojuan thought about it and realized that Meng Zihan really was that kind of person.

They always live in their own imagination and can't see reality.

She sighed and said helplessly, "You're right. Getting involved will only cause trouble for ourselves. Forget it, I'll stop thinking about them."

Feng Linlin clasped her hands in prayer: "I just hope I don't run into those two again, they're really affecting my mood."

But things didn't go as planned. Over the next few days, Ye Linchen and his three companions kept "bumping into" Liu Mingxuan and Meng Zihan at various tourist attractions.
