The three, tired from walking, sat down on the ground. Cheng Qicai, having rested enough, idly searched for seashells in the sand, just like when she was a child searching for treasure.
Finally, she found a large pile of seashells, and when she put the larger ones to her ear, she could indeed hear the sound of the waves.
But more likely, she was already on the beach, so fairy tales are all lies.
But this did not dampen Cheng Qicai's spirits. She still found a lot of different kinds of shellfish on the beach, and then used her hat to carry her spoils back to the deck chair where she started.
"Shall we watch the sunset as we walk?" Cheng Qicai asked the other two, looking at the fiery red sky.
They nodded.
The clouds on the horizon were edged with gold, and there was still some time before sunset.
Cheng Qicai lay on the recliner to rest, then took out her phone to take a few pictures.
She noticed several messages on her phone that she hadn't read yet, so she clicked on them.
After receiving messages of envy and jealousy from Wu Jieyu and a few friends, Cheng Qicai clicked on the only message that hadn't been replied to.
She saw that before 3 o'clock, which was an hour after they got off the plane, Gu Rong asked her if she had arrived.
Cheng Qicai thought for a moment and then replied with a message that the shipment had arrived.
Gu Rongqi quickly replied: [What are you doing?]
The sun had set above the horizon, making it the perfect time to take photos. She hadn't seen such beautiful sunset clouds in a long time, so Cheng Qicai opened the camera and started snapping away.
Seeing such a beautiful view, Cheng Qicai was eager to share it. Just then, Gu Rongqi asked her what she was doing, so she casually sent him the photos.
When only a sliver of the sun remained, they leisurely walked back to the villa.
After having a meal, the group was tired from playing all day, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
After taking a shower, Cheng Qicai lay on her light gray-blue bed and saw Gu Rongqi's message: [Very beautiful!]
After Cheng Qicai calmed down and lost the excitement she felt while taking the photo, she began to regret replying to Gu Rongqi.
She yawned, feeling a bit sleepy herself, so she didn't pay any more attention to it and drifted off to sleep with her eyes half-closed.
The next day, when the sky outside was bright, Cheng Qicai got up, quickly washed up, applied sunscreen, and went downstairs.
But she didn't expect to be the first one up early. The aunt downstairs saw her come down and asked her what she wanted for breakfast.
After asking what they had, Cheng Qicai ordered a meat pie and seafood porridge.
As she was eating, Wang Zining and Zhu Jin came downstairs and saw that Cheng Qicai was already eating breakfast.
Wang Zining said, "Qicai, you came down really early."
"It's not that early, we're still having breakfast, aren't we?" Cheng Qicai said with a smile.
Zhu Jin asked, "Where are we going later?"
This stumped the two of them. They went to the beach yesterday, and now they're going again today?
"Shall we go beachcombing?" Cheng Qicai suggested. She had always wanted to go herself after watching beachcombing videos before.
Wang Zining: "But we don't know anything about seafood. Do you?"
Cheng Qicai shook her head; the meager knowledge she gained from watching the videos was completely useless.
At this moment, the butler spoke up: "Miss Cheng, if you'd like to go, we can find someone to take you. We also have yachts available for deep-sea fishing, and if you'd like to go diving, we can also provide instruction..."
Upon hearing what the butler said, the eyes of the three of them lit up instantly.
So these girls truly deserve to be called poor. Even if you let them experience the life of the rich, they wouldn't know how to enjoy it.
Cheng Qicai asked the housekeeper happily, "Uncle Zhao, could you help us make some arrangements? Otherwise, we don't know what to do these next few days."
"Okay." Butler Zhao nodded.
The three of them were going to go beachcombing, so Butler Zhao told them to change into their gear first, take their tools, and follow the professionals to the beach.
With guidance from professionals familiar with the terrain, Cheng Qicai and her friends had a wonderful experience going beachcombing this time, and they didn't have to worry about getting their hands on anything dangerous.
There are not many people here yet, so the resources are very abundant.
The three of them were having a great time catching sea urchins, crabs, and mantis shrimp.
As dusk fell, the three of them, still somewhat reluctant to leave, returned home laden with several buckets of various kinds of seafood.
They went back and asked the kitchen auntie to help them process what they had caught. In the end, the three of them sat around on the rooftop, eating seafood hot pot and drinking beer.
Surrounded by the bustling world, with a sky full of stars overhead and a record player playing a long, melodious tune in the distance, this bourgeois lifestyle couldn't be more delightful.
After they were all quite drunk, they returned to their respective rooms, feeling dizzy and unsteady.
In the following days, thanks to the arrangements made by Butler Zhao, their itinerary was extremely rich and varied.
If it weren't for the fact that people came to set up the scene over the next few days, Cheng Qicai would have almost forgotten what she came there for.
