Chapter 223 Bonfire Party
When they had almost finished eating, the man finally caught his second fish. True to his promise, he released the first fish, but he was so reluctant to let it go that he looked back at it several times.
The tourists eat at different times, depending on when they catch a fish or when they give up their unnecessary stubbornness.
Even after the meal, many tourists were still fishing.
In July, schools of rays gather in the Maldives. On the boat, they watched countless rays swim under the boat, like nimble elves spreading their large umbrellas and gliding lightly through the water.
Xu Songning reached down and could touch the ray.
They put raw fish in their hands, and the rays were attracted to the fish and came over to take the food.
Sunset.
The small boat took them back to the island.
The golden rays of the setting sun spilled onto the sea, turning the sand golden.
The other tourists took several photos of Xu Songning and Xiang Yun together, and at the suggestion of the crew, everyone gathered together for a group photo.
A beverage vendor walked by and successfully sold many cups of juice.
Xu Songning also bought two cups. She took a sip and found it to be a light lemon sparkling water flavor, which was quite refreshing with the shaved ice.
The two walked back, the sea breeze blowing through their skirts. Xu Songning's steps were light, and she thoroughly enjoyed the moment of relaxation.
She glanced at Xiang Yun's expression, only to find that Xiang Yun was also looking at her.
He was no longer tense, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Xu Songning's smile deepened, and she grabbed his hand and ran back.
The sea breeze, carrying the scent of the sea, billowed their clothes. At that moment, they had only love for each other and freedom.
Dinner was at the hotel. Xu Songning tried some local food, but like the fish she had at noon, she wasn't used to the flavor. Fortunately, there were other dishes to choose from.
Xiang Yun ate calmly, quietly picking out the food he didn't like and setting it aside.
The steak tasted great, with a flavor different from what they eat back home, and it was one of the foods they could accept.
The housekeeper kindly came over to remind them that there would be a bonfire party that evening, an event spontaneously organized by the tourists, and that they could go and participate if they had time.
It rained last night, so they were forced to stay in their rooms. There's an event today, and Xu Songning is happy to attend.
After all, this is a vacation, and it would be so boring to stay in the hotel all the time.
Especially when she has an energetic person by her side, she feels it is very necessary to take them out to release their energy.
The bonfire party will be held at 9 p.m.
Xu Songning and Xiang Yun strolled slowly along the way, just in time for the opening ceremony.
The hotel provided them with a space where a bonfire was lit.
Tourists danced around the bonfire, some sat in the center playing guitar, and people sang and danced, as if it were a scene from an animated film.
Xu Songning was recording a video on her phone and sending it to her mother and best friends.
She suddenly realized that Xiang Yun had added her to a new group chat. She opened the group chat and saw that there were only five people in it, which was obviously a family group.
"Did you add me to your family group chat?" Xu Songning nudged Xiang Yun's shoulder.
He put down his camera and replied, "Hmm, is Sister Xu shy?"
Isn't this a bit inappropriate? We're only dating.
In Xu Songning's view, dating doesn't require entering the other person's family group chat; maintaining a certain distance might actually improve the relationship.
But considering that she was already living with her aunt and uncle, joining the group seemed like a minor matter.
Why did I say I was staying at their house? How embarrassing would it have been if I had been rejected?
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yun keenly noticed her change in mood.
"Tell me, why did your aunt so naturally let me move into your house?" Xu Songning asked, looking up at her.
Xiang Yun kissed her forehead. "You are my girlfriend, and my parents will respect you."
"Shall I say hello first?" Xu Songning thought for a moment, wondering what he should say.
Xiang Yun took out his phone first and tagged her.
—I brought Song Ning in.
Xu Songning typed and followed up with a message: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, hello, Sister."
I thought they were all busy, but in reality everyone was watching and planning who would speak first. Xiang Yun broke the silence first, and the others naturally lined up three welcome emojis in the group.
Xu Songning sent the video and a voice message, "Uncle and Aunt, Yun and I are having a bonfire party. It's a lot of fun here."
Ms. Cui's writing is concise and to the point.
-be safe.
Mr. Xiang and Cui Yuyue asked some questions, which she answered slowly by typing. After she finished answering their questions, Xiang Yun took her phone away, saying, "Play seriously and don't look at your phone."
"You're so stingy, I haven't replied to my mom's message yet." Xu Songning snatched the phone away, and the two found a place to sit down. The others, tired from dancing, also sat down around the campfire, and someone distributed drinks and alcohol.
There were also people having a barbecue nearby. They had borrowed all the necessary barbecue equipment, and locals helped them assemble it. They set up the charcoal fire, skewered the meat, and placed it on the grill. After grilling, the aroma of the meat was fully released, filling the air with fragrance.
Xu Songning was craving something sweet, so she shook Xiang Yun's arm and said, "Brother Yun, I want to eat barbecue."
"You were just saying you ate too much, and now you're hungry again?" Xiang Yun touched her stomach.
To prove he wasn't full, Xu Songning took a deep breath, but someone gently tickled his belly, making him laugh uncontrollably. "Go on."
It's rare to see Sister Xu acting so coquettishly. Xiang Yun patted her hand and said, "Wait for me here."
“Okay!” Xu Songning readily agreed.
Tourists temporarily set up a small stage, with simple microphones and speakers, creating a small space for display.
Tourists who wanted to perform would spontaneously go on stage and perform a talent.
This was also the first time Xu Songning had ever heard of someone being able to play a tune on a beer bottle.
Travelers come from all over the world, telling their own stories, about their families, or singing a song they're good at, even if they don't sing it well, it all adds a unique charm to this special setting.
A young man with a head full of braids walked onto the stage, and his stylish outfit attracted a lot of attention.
"Hello everyone, I am an ordinary fashion designer from the UK. The clothes I am wearing are my own designs, and I hope that one day you can see them on the runway."
He bowed amidst applause and returned to his seat.
"I am a self-media blogger with many, many followers, but this trip is only for myself. Friends, health is the most important thing."
"I am an architect from South Africa..."
"I am a teacher from Harvard University, and the subject I teach is..."
"Hey, girl from China, why don't you go up and chat with her?" the people around him egged him on.
