This was the first time Lin Xuqiu stayed overnight at the Lin family, and it felt very strange.
She was wearing the pajamas that Chen Zhizhi had prepared in advance, lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
The cell phone rang, it was a video call from Wen Yanci.
She clicked to answer.
Wen Yanci's handsome face appeared on the phone screen.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Wen Yanci on the other end of the video was sitting in an office chair, looking aggrieved, his voice low and magnetic.
"Xuqiu, how could you bear to leave me alone in this empty room?"
"That can't be helped. It was a last-minute decision to stay. Didn't you hope that the Lin family and I could get along well?"
Wen Yanci felt a little regretful. He should have followed him if he had known earlier.
"Hubby, muah, I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
Lin Xuqiu blew a kiss to the screen.
Wen Yanci suddenly became playful and spoke in a low, sexy voice.
"Baby, I miss you, why don't we video chat..."
Lin Xuqiu lowered his voice.
"Wen Yanci, are you crazy? This is the Lin family. If Aunt Chen makes up the sheets tomorrow, I'll be socially dead."
"Baby, go to the bathroom then. I haven't taken a shower yet."
Although Lin Xuqiu said no, she was still seduced by Wen Yanci's beauty and walked towards the bathroom obediently...
Lin Cheng had just returned from having a midnight snack with a friend. After parking the car, he glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed a shopping bag on the back seat.
He opened the back door and took out a shopping bag. It contained the clothes Lin Xuqiu had bought that afternoon and left them in the car.
He went upstairs with the shopping bag, intending to return it to her.
After knocking on the door several times and waiting for a few minutes, there was still no response. Lin Cheng was worried that the woman inside was in danger.
Because everyone in the Lin family went to bed early, my parents and the servants all went to rest.
So he opened the door and went in. Fortunately, the door was not locked.
He looked around and found that there was no one in the room.
When he was about to call Lin Xuqiu's name, he heard a strange sound, a woman's delicate voice...
The sound seemed to come from the bathroom. Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and knew what the sound was.
He picked up the shopping bags, left quietly, and closed the door.
Lin Cheng didn't expect to encounter such a situation, and felt strange in his heart.
He didn't understand why Lin Xuqiu was like this. Was it because of what happened in the afternoon?
Finally, he returned to his room with the shopping bags, the woman's voice lingering in his mind.
He angrily called himself a "beast".
He thought it was probably time for him to have a relationship, after all, it had been two or three years since his last breakup.
Unlike Lin Cheng who tossed and turned, Lin Xuqiu was exhausted from venting his emotions last night and slept well.
*
the next day.
The family is having breakfast.
Lin Cheng didn't look at Lin Xuqiu the whole time, and just lowered his head to eat breakfast.
He handed the shopping bag to his mother in the morning, and then his mother handed it to Lin Xuqiu.
After breakfast.
Chen Zhizhi took out the clothes she had prepared for Lin Xuqiu.
A set of sea-hunting equipment, pink waterproof overalls, water boots, and a big hat.
"Xuqiu, wear this. It's sunny outside and you'll get sunburned easily if you wear a skirt."
Lin Xuqiu looked at the clothes in her hand and didn't like it. Why was it pink again? Did Chen Zhizhi have any misunderstanding about her?
"Auntie, I still want to wear mine. I put on sunscreen and wear sun-protective clothing."
Chen Zhizhi wanted to persuade her again, but Chen Zhidong said.
"Let her be. If it's too sunny, we can just take a rest. It's no big deal."
Chen Zhizhi pursed her lips and made a concession.
"Xuqiu, you don't have to change your clothes, but you should still wear these waders, otherwise you'll easily get scratched by the oysters on the rocks."
After hearing that he might get scratched, Lin Xuqiu agreed to wear water boots.
Today she wore a knee-length dress, a sun-protective jacket, a hat and sunglasses, and the water boots prepared by Chen Zhizhi.
Lin Cheng was still wearing shorts, a short-sleeved floral shirt, and sunglasses, but Chen Zhizhi didn't say anything about him.
When they were in the car, Lin Xuqiu handed him sunscreen, but he refused it, saying it was unnecessary.
Lin Xuqiu felt that he was too rough, so he said.
"You were quite fair when I first saw you, but now you've become several shades darker and uglier. And you don't even wear sunscreen."
"What's wrong with me? I can't even count the number of women who like me on my ten fingers."
Lin Xuqiu glanced at him and complained.
"You are so narcissistic. Women like clean men. Who would like you if you are so rough?"
"I hate the greasy feeling of sunscreen. I'm already dark anyway. I walk outside every day, so why should I worry about it every day? I'll be white again after winter."
Lin Xuqiu retorted.
“My sunscreen is non-greasy and comes in a spray, so it’s very easy to use.”
Seeing her persistence, Lin Cheng, who was driving, said, "Okay, you can spray me later."
"I won't give it to you now. I won't give it to you after the expiration date."
"You woman..."
Lin Zhidong and Chen Zhizhi, who were sitting in the back seat, watched the two siblings bickering with a look of relief on their faces.
Finally arrived at the destination.
A group of people got off the bus.
The weather is nice today. There is no scorching sun, but the sky is a little gloomy. The sea breeze blows on them, carrying some fishy smell of sea water.
It seemed that the tide had receded, revealing a large area of mudflats and strangely shaped rocks.
There were very few people on the mudflats, scattered sparsely at a distance from them.
