Chapter 39: The Holy Land of Wishes (including supporting characters)



Here's what happened.

A travel blogger with tens of thousands of fans on Little Green Book posted a few pictures of herself playing on Xingzhou Island. She didn't introduce the tourist attractions on Xingzhou Island, but just said that she had just broken up, so she went to Xingzhou Island to relax on the recommendation of her friends.

As a result, the blogger, who was originally very sad because of the breakup, completely let herself go on Xingzhou Island, playing in the water, taking pictures, feeding seagulls, learning sea fishing, lying on a beach chair, drinking coconut juice and watching the sea urchins. She forgot her sadness and was as happy as those seagulls who successfully caught prey. There was no shackles of broken love in her heart, and she was extremely relaxed.

After returning from Xingzhou Island, she completely threw the cheating ex-boyfriend out of her world.

The ex-boyfriend saw her Moments from someone else and found that she was in a good state, smiling brightly, not crying like she did when he broke up with her. Someone even said that she smiled like a little sun and said that he wanted to pursue her. He immediately felt unbalanced.

She told her ex-boyfriend about how she slapped him in the face when he asked for a reconciliation. She was really proud of it. More than 60,000 netizens liked it, and more than 3,000 comments below were also very exciting. They felt that this is how love should be, you can take it or leave it, be happy when you are together, and be happy when you are apart.

However, some netizens had different ideas and asked her: "From your description, it seems that there is nothing fun in Xingzhou Island?"

She replied to the netizen: "It sounds like there is nothing fun, but I was very happy. I was in a good mood all day. Now when I think about it, I feel relaxed. I made the photos there as my screen saver. I look at them every day and I feel energetic when I go to work."

Netizens: "..."

Is it really so magical?

Why do I feel like I have taken a lot of drugs? I suggest you take a urine test.

Later, many netizens who had been to Xingzhou Island came forward to share their experiences:

1L: "It was on Xingzhou Island that I caught up with my goddess! It was so romantic, I will never forget it." 2L

: "My parents' relationship has improved a lot since they came back from their trip to Xingzhou Island. They used to quarrel every now and then, but now they can't wait to leave me behind to travel around the world."

3L: "I didn't get pregnant for three years after marriage, but it's been more than a month since I came back from my trip to Xingzhou Island, and I just confirmed that I'm pregnant!"

4L: "It was on Xingzhou Island that I fell in love with sea fishing. From now on, I'm going to become a fisherman."

5L: "I was just about to ask who 'Haidiao' is, and why did you sleep with him..."

6L: "Is there something weird upstairs?"

7L: "I've been a lottery fan for ten years, and the highest winning amount has never exceeded one thousand. After returning from Xingzhou Island, I won fifty thousand yuan!"

8L: "Oh, I want to get rich

too." 9L: "Who would fall in love these days? Of course, making money is the most important thing. I want to go to Xingzhou Island too, hoping to get rich overnight."

...

Someone else posted the latest issue of the magazine "Departure·Our Journey" and compiled the comments and blog posts of various netizens into a collection post.

As the posts became more and more crooked, Xingzhou Island gradually changed from a "holy place for healing emotional injuries" to a "holy place for making wishes".

Li Yaolin: "..."

She didn't expect that Xingzhou Island could become popular in such a superstitious way.

But seeing that more and more people were preparing to come to Xingzhou Island to pray for children and wealth, she wanted to dispel the rumor that Xingzhou Island really didn't have this buff. If it did, she, as the owner of the island, would have wished to become a billionaire, eat and drink delicious food every day, and not go to work, okay? How come he is so worried about the development of the island every day!

Wait, if Xingzhou Island doesn't have a buff, does the Sea God also work as the matchmaker, the Goddess of Childbearing, and the God of Wealth?

Where is the Sea God's daughter? It turns out that she was just being sentimental.

...

Not only Li Yaolin, but even the magazine publisher didn't expect that this issue of the magazine would be so popular that it sold out! Many readers left messages to the magazine publisher, asking them to publish the next issue as soon as possible.

Of course, the main reason is that it had a lot of regular readers before, so if it was published, it would not print too many copies to avoid not being able to sell them. Some of the users of Little Green Book are potential audiences of their magazine. With this promotion, some new readers were naturally attracted, which made the magazine sell out.

Editor-in-Chief Shen was also very happy. If the next issue also has such performance, then after the editor-in-chief retires, his promotion will be stable.

...

Two days later, Zheng Xuan and her husband agreed to take wedding photos on Xingzhou Island. They took the high-speed rail here with the photographer and makeup artist from the photography studio.

On the high-speed train, Zheng Xuan happened to see a neighbor reading a magazine with a big "Xingzhou Island" printed on the cover. She was instantly attracted to it and turned to her husband Sun Fen and said, "Look, Xingzhou Island is on the magazine. It must be right to go there!"

Last month, the couple had a big fight while traveling in Semporna. They were in a cold war for three days before reconciling. However, this matter was like a thorn in their hearts. It was fine if they didn't touch it, but it was uncomfortable if they touched it.

A few days ago, Sun Fen even said that he didn't want to go to Xingzhou Island to take wedding photos, just because that was where Li Yaolin worked.

Zheng Xuan was not happy, but he said with anger: "This is an agreement with Sanniang and the wedding studio. Xingzhou Island has reserved a room for us. You can go or not, but I will go. If I can't take wedding photos with you, I will take them with someone else!"

Although Sun Fen was angry, he had to compromise. After all, he really didn't want to break up with Zheng Xuan, and he didn't want her to abort the child. His parents had been talking about this child for a long time!

So he came reluctantly.

Hearing Zheng Xuan's words, Sun Fen disagreed: "Magazines are all for advertising. As long as the money is right, they can praise you to the sky. You can tell at a glance that these pictures are photoshopped."

The woman who was reading the magazine put down the magazine, glanced at him, and took the initiative to lend the magazine to Zheng Xuan: "Are you going to Xingzhou Island? Then I'll lend it to you to take a look. Maybe it can help you."

"Thank you!" Zheng Xuan was very surprised. This is a good person.

Zheng Xuan wanted to read a magazine to kill time, but she didn't expect that this article was really well written. She was not only moved by the relationship between the author and his wife for more than 20 years, but also full of yearning for the mystery of Xingzhou Island.

This article also has a subtle point: it does not mention the strategy, but it writes all the strategies.

Zheng Xuan summed up and figured out that he would go to the white sand beach to play in the water in the morning while the temperature was not too high, and then go to watch the seabirds at noon.

Some seabirds are not afraid of people. If you take out food, you will most likely attract them. The reason why it is a high probability is that seabirds are very smart and can distinguish which people are malicious and which are kind. They are also very picky and never approach people who smoke. They only eat bread crumbs sold in convenience stores on the island. At present, there is no prohibition on feeding seabirds on the island, but it is clearly prohibited to leave garbage on the ground after feeding seabirds.

Go to experience the fun of sea fishing in the afternoon. If there are old hands, you may have a good harvest.

...

After returning the magazine to the kind woman, Zheng Xuan almost forgot that he was going to Xingzhou Island to take wedding photos, not to travel.

She wanted to take wedding photos and travel at the same time, but Sun Fen has few holidays. Last time he went to Semporna for a trip, he took his wedding leave and said that he would save his annual leave for the wedding. Therefore, this time he could only come on Saturdays and Sundays to take wedding photos. It

was very tight to take wedding photos at this time, so how could he have the leisure time to travel!

The two and a half hours of high-speed rail passed quickly, and after arriving at the station, they took a taxi directly to Baoren Port Pier.

They thought that Xingzhou Island was a newly developed island and not very popular. Unexpectedly, they could not buy tickets to the island in the morning, and there was only a 4 o'clock trip left in the afternoon.

Zheng Xuan complained to Sun Fen: "I told you to book the tickets in advance, but you insisted that you were not sure whether you would come or not, and it was very troublesome to book the tickets."

Sun Fen also glared: "No one would have thought that there would be so few tickets for such a small island!"

Zheng Xuan walked aside to call Li Yaolin. Didn't Qi Tong say that there were not many people? Why were there so many people?

Li Yaolin explained with a smile: "She helped promote it in June, and it has been two months since then. A lot of changes have taken place in these two months, and the number of tourists has increased a lot. In addition, it is the weekend now, and there are the most tourists."

"Ah, what should I do?" Wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

"Don't worry, after confirming your arrival time last night, I asked someone to reserve tickets for you. It should be this trip. If you miss this one, then wait for the next one. There is an extra boat today, Saturday, so you won't have to wait too long."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Xuan hadn't recovered from his shock yet when he heard Sun Fen say irritably under the scorching sun: "Aren't there too few flights? Can't there be a few more?"

The tourists on the side nodded in agreement: "That's right, we have to unite and call on Xingzhou Island to add more flights!"

Although they both complained about the small number of flights to Xingzhou Island, their moods were completely different. Zheng Xuan rolled his eyes at Sun Fen and went straight to find the ticket seller.

She explained the situation and took out her ID card for verification. After the ticket seller confirmed that it was correct, he gave her four tickets. When she scanned the code to pay, the ticket seller said: "These are the tickets that the boss left for you. She has already paid."

Zheng Xuan was stunned: "The tickets

that the boss left?" Wasn't it the tickets that Sanniang left?

Before she asked, Sun Fen came over with a frown: "What do you mean?"

Zheng Xuan looked at him, and suddenly didn't want to waste words with him, and said: "Let's go, I got the tickets, let's get on the boat!"

"Where did the tickets come from?"

"Where else can they come from? Sanniang left them."

The fishy smell around made Zheng Xuan feel a little nauseous. At this time, she no longer had the heart to deal with him, and just wanted to get to the island quickly.

When boarding the ship, Zheng Xuan vomited several times and felt a little seasick.

Sun Fen brought her some water and frowned and said, "How beautiful can this environment on the island be? In my opinion, we have really been deceived. I told you not to come, but you didn't listen to me and listened to Li Yaolin, so you came all the way here to suffer!"

Zheng Xuan felt like he was buzzing in her ear like a fly, and said, "This is a normal morning sickness reaction. Don't talk anymore, it makes me dizzy."

The people in the wedding photography studio also looked at each other, thinking that they were The workload may be a bit heavy. In the later stage, the photos must not only be edited to make the newlyweds look better, but also to make the background more beautiful...

The tourist in the front seat turned around and glared at Sun Fen: "Hey, don't talk nonsense. This is what the fishing port looks like after fishing. Which fishing port doesn't have a little fishy smell? Xingzhou Island is different. I guarantee you will regret saying this when you go there."

Sun Fen didn't agree, but thinking that it's not good to cause trouble in an unfamiliar place, he didn't say anything.

The passenger ship was a bit bumpy in the first half of the journey. When Zheng Xuan was about to vomit, she found that the ship was not as bumpy as before, and the fishy smell lingering in her nose was blown away by the cool sea breeze. She miraculously found that she was no longer dizzy and nauseous.

"What's wrong with you?" Sun Fen asked her.

Zheng Xuan was a little uncertain: "I think I'm fine."

Suddenly, she saw a seagull swooping down from the sky and diving into the sea. In the blink of an eye, a small fish was in its mouth, still struggling with its tail.

After catching the prey, it did not eat it immediately, but landed on the deck, and then slowly began to enjoy its food in full view of everyone.

A tourist asked jokingly: "Is it showing off its hunting ability to us?"

Another tourist took photos and laughed: "I've heard that the seabirds on Xingzhou Island are very spiritual and not afraid of people. I didn't expect it to be so arrogant!" After

eating the fish, the seagull strolled leisurely on the deck. When it walked to one of the decks outside the passenger ship, it tilted its head and looked at Zheng Xuan, who was separated from it by a glass, with its black bean-like eyes, and then spread its wings and flew away.

"Was it looking at me just now?!" Zheng Xuan was excited.

The tourist next to him said sarcastically: "Seagulls also judge people by appearance? They only flirt with pretty girls!"

As soon as this was said, happy laughter was heard in the cabin.

Zheng Xuan was so happy that her heart was bubbling with joy. She said, "I'm going to make it out of a mold when I get home. It's so cute!"

She had already opened Tbao and was ready to place an order for clay to make models and figurines. Sun Fen, who was standing by, pouted and was not very supportive: "It's just a seagull. Is it so rare? We still have to save money for the banquet. Don't waste

money." "It won't cost much."

"Haven't you heard that a little bit of accumulation adds up to a lot?"

Zheng Xuan suddenly felt aggrieved and tired, and didn't want to waste words on this matter anymore.

After the boat docked, the tourists got off the boat and entered the island in an orderly manner. Zheng Xuan saw Li Yaolin at the entrance and trotted over: "Sanniang, I'm here!"

Li Yaolin walked towards her quickly: "Be careful and don't run."

"Don't worry, I'm in good health and the fetus is stable." Zheng Xuan took her arm, "Did you come out to pick me up?"

"Yes, I'll take you to the dormitory to put your luggage first!"

Zheng Xuan asked, "If you slack off, won't your boss scold you?"

Li Yaolin shook his head and said, "No."

Zheng Xuan nodded without asking any more questions.

After taking Zheng Xuan and the others to the staff dormitory, Li Yaolin said, "I have some work to deal with in the afternoon, so I won't accompany you to visit Xingzhou Island. I will ask someone to help take lunch to the convenience store downstairs, you can go and get it. We will have hot pot in the evening, and I will buy some fish and shrimp from the fishermen to make your favorite shrimp noodles."

"Sanniang is so nice! We can find a way to solve the lunch problem ourselves, you don't have to take care of us so much."

"These are all employee meals on the island. The dishes were purchased per person last night. It would be a waste if we don't eat them."

"You have employee meals now? I remember when you mentioned it last time, we were still eating takeout."

Li Yaolin said with a smile: "Well, we didn't hire a cook before. Many employees are from the neighborhood and they bring their own meals. We have recruited a lot of people recently, and not everyone can cook, so we hired a cook." After

she finished speaking, she found that Zheng Xuan was looking at her with a very strange look.

"What's the matter?"

Zheng Xuan put away his guess and shook his head: "Nothing, don't you have work to deal with? Go and do it first, we can go shopping by ourselves."

Hearing this, Li Yaolin left first.

After putting away his luggage, Sun Fen walked out of the staff dormitory slowly and whispered: "Look at her, she is just an employee, but she is acting like a master. Where does she get the confidence? Isn't it because she has the support of the boss!"

Zheng Xuan, who could no longer bear it, glanced at him coldly: "The sea water here is cleaner than your brain. You should jump into the sea to wash your head full of dirty thoughts."

The author has something to say:

In the next chapter, the island owner will talk to his roommates and discuss work. There is no infrastructure, development and operation content. If you don't want to watch it, you can skip it.
