As the two strolled through the streets of Thailand, whenever Lin Tingfeng saw an exceptionally tall and beautiful girl, he would whisper to Ye Wenyu, "Look, a ladyboy!"

Taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, Ye Wenyu lightly pinched his arm and reminded him, "They might just be tall, there aren't that many transvestites." But although she said that, her gaze lingered on the tall woman like glue until she was out of sight.

After all, it was her first time seeing a ladyboy, and anyone would be curious.

The weather was beautiful, the sky was a deep, clear blue, and white clouds drifted across the sky like gentle breezes blowing through her long hair. All around, the sounds of Thai could be heard.

She strolled around with great interest, admiring the scenery of this foreign land. Coconut trees lined both sides of the street in neat rows, like guards, their trunks tall and straight, their canopies like giant green umbrellas. Occasionally, she saw elephants passing by, as numerous as the water buffaloes that were ubiquitous in the countryside of China fifty years ago.

That's really interesting.

Tired from walking, Ye Wenyu saw a flowering tree not far away. Because it was so beautiful, she took Lin Tingfeng's hand and couldn't help but walk over to take a closer look.

"These flowers are so beautiful!"

I walked closer and sniffed it. There wasn't much of a fragrance. But pretty flowers are generally unscented, while unassuming little flowers, like osmanthus and camphor tree flowers, have a strong fragrance. It's like girls: beautiful girls often lack a soul, while those with a soul often have less appealing appearances. This is because competition is fierce in both the plant kingdom and human society. If a flower isn't pretty, it must emit a strong fragrance to attract bees and butterflies for pollination to survive. If it doesn't have a fragrance, it must be very beautiful to reproduce. The same applies to human society. If a girl isn't pretty, she must have inner qualities to survive in the fierce competition.

Ye Wenyu stood beside the flowering tree and examined it closely. The flowers were about the size of a child's palm, with yellow centers and white edges. They looked particularly beautiful from a distance.

It's strange, daffodils also have yellow centers and white petals, but they're not as beautiful as this. Maybe it's because the flower shape is round with a slight point in the middle, which makes it especially pretty.

Lin Tingfeng stood casually beside her, glancing around at random, and said to her with a touch of sentimentality, "Xiaoyu, the most interesting thing about Thailand isn't the tourist attractions, but the everyday life in the city. Look over there, there's a Thai lady, bent over, holding a bamboo pole high, trying to poke the jackfruit off the tree. Her movements are quite interesting."

Ye Wenyu was completely focused on the flower. Seeing that Lin Tingfeng was knowledgeable, she asked curiously, "What kind of flower is this? It's so beautiful."

Lin Tingfeng glanced at it and smiled at her, saying, "Frangipani."

"What?!" Ye Wenyu's eyes widened as she asked Lin Tingfeng in surprise, "This is the legendary frangipani?"

Frangipani, a flower whose name I have long heard of.

Lin Tingfeng laughed and said, "That's right, what's so strange about it? This kind of flower is everywhere in Southeast Asian countries, such as Vietnam and Laos. It's also found in Fujian and Hainan in our country. You're really ignorant." He couldn't help but reach out and pat her cute little head.

She's much prettier than a frangipani.

He glanced at the frangipani, shook his head, and wondered why Ye Wenyu was so excited.

Ye Wenyu said to him, "Oh dear, you don't understand!" She stared wide-eyed at the flower, and the more she looked at it, the more it resembled the legendary frangipani. She excitedly said, "So this is the frangipani! I used to see friends on social media taking pictures of frangipani when they traveled to Vietnam and other countries. Some girls even bought frangipani hair clips to wear on their ears when they went to certain beaches in China. Now I've finally seen a real frangipani!"

Ye Wenyu's eyes sparkled like jewels.

She nervously looked around, then at the ground, thinking that if a flower had fallen on the ground, she could pick up a genuine frangipani. But unfortunately, there wasn't a single one on the ground. So, the only option was to steal one.

She whispered to Lin Tingfeng, "Tingfeng, um, I'd like to pick one and wear it in my hair so I can take some pictures. Can I?" She was very nervous.

Lin Tingfeng understood. He thought that she was, after all, a young girl. Although she had performed very well during her internship, being down-to-earth, calm, and with extremely high emotional intelligence, much like a white-collar professional, now that she was relaxed, her true nature as a young girl was revealed. She loved beauty and showing off. His lips couldn't help but curl up.

Seeing his silence, Ye Wenyu asked nervously, "Will they not let me pick them? If I pick them, will I be scolded for being rude, and then exposed, and people will say that all Chinese people are rude?"

She was so conflicted. As a Chinese person, she didn't want to embarrass the Chinese people, but she really wanted to pick a real frangipani flower, tuck it behind her ear, and take more beautiful photos.

At that moment, a gentle breeze blew by, lifting her long hair and skirt, making her look absolutely beautiful.

A girl more beautiful than the moon, Lin Tingfeng couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He laughed when he heard this, and seeing her nervous look, he couldn't help but find it amusing. He casually picked the largest and most beautiful frangipani flower and said to her, "They also pick and wear them themselves. You're overthinking it."

Unexpectedly, Lin Tingfeng helped her pick frangipani flowers, and Ye Wenyu immediately relaxed and became happy, feeling no more burden in her heart.

She picked up the frangipani flower, looked at it happily, then held it to her ear and gestured with it. After that, she took out her phone, turned on the front camera, and wanted to take some beautiful photos of herself.

Lin Tingfeng smiled at her and said, "Let me take the picture for you."

Ye Wenyu was stunned. She looked at Lin Tingfeng, feeling a warm glow in her heart. She was surprised and touched. Did he really take the photos for her? She was like an ignorant little girl, wanting to take vain photos, and he indulged her?

He's the CEO of a company with over 10,000 employees.

They really spoil her rotten.

Lin Tingfeng had already taken out his phone and started taking pictures of her. Ye Wenyu had no choice but to relax and make a few sweet expressions.

The little girl by the flowering tree is even more charming than the frangipani flower itself.

Her long, black, silky hair, white top, printed wrap skirt, and frangipani earrings made her hair and skirt flutter in the breeze.

The sunlight was bright, even more dazzling than the sun, making a small, fair face shine like a star.

Ye Wenyu gazed at Lin Tingfeng, who was taking pictures intently, feeling as if she were surrounded by honey and milk, sweet and warm. For Lin Tingfeng, his mobile phone only had two functions: making calls and transferring money. He never used his camera, but she never expected that he would take pictures of her today.
