"Don't disbelieve me, you'll be confused when you see him too!"
A defiant voice drew the attention of Ye Jia, who was admiring the waves created by the passing ship.
Ye Jia looked over and saw a spirited-looking auntie wearing a beautiful cheongsam. Her hair was neatly styled in a bun at the back of her head, adorned with a jade hairpin, making her look quite elegant.
However, the way the aunt spoke wasn't as elegant as she was dressed; her hands flew as she tried to persuade her companions.
The woman accompanying me, who was about the same age, said: "It's not that I don't believe it. How could I not believe you can judge a man's taste? But the guy you're talking about is unresponsive and has a bad temper. What's he after? I'd rather go to a male escort club and find a decent guy who's sweet-talking. That's what you call providing emotional value."
Auntie made a vomiting gesture: "Come on, 'upright'? They're all ugly ducklings. I just want to throw up when I see an ugly guy trying to be cute with me. I'd rather just stay quietly when I see a handsome guy."
My aunt's likes and dislikes are very obvious.
Ye Jia listened silently, and when she encountered a new term she was hearing for the first time, she took out her phone and searched for what a host club was. Her pupils dilated immediately upon seeing it.
I thought that after living in the northern part of the city for a few years, I had seen all the colorful things in the big city. But it turns out there are mountains beyond mountains, and so many more colorful places to go.
The colorful lights are just neon lights, and the vibrant colors are your hair colors.
My aunt's friend disagreed: "There are handsome guys too, you know."
Auntie shook her head: "Okay, I won't deny that there are some who aren't that bad, but none of them can compare to this handsome guy. He's just undeniably handsome. Each of his features alone could charm an ignorant person, and when they're combined, they're absolutely stunning. And that aura, tsk tsk!"
"What kind of temperament is that? It's the kind of temperament that he won't even acknowledge if you call him."
"What do you know? It's that tough, masculine vibe. He looks very upright, but there's a hint of wickedness about him. And you haven't seen the muscles in his arms when he's mixing drinks. My god... that's what I look forward to every week!"
Ye Jia felt she could clearly hear her aunt slurping her saliva during that brief pause.
What's going on? She also felt like swallowing.
It's like when you see someone eating something delicious, you start to crave it yourself.
Ye Jia took out her phone and searched. There were no bars on a certain review website, but the map software showed a bar called Fog Sea Lighthouse, but only the address was available, and no other information was provided.
But there's already a living advertisement on the ship.
Ye Jia planned to put his things down after disembarking and head straight to this fog-shrouded lighthouse.
She was worried about where to go.
Coming to Lingfeng Island was a very sudden decision, simply because she couldn't stay in Beicheng anymore and didn't want to return to her old home in the mountains like a loser.
While wandering aimlessly through the subway in Beicheng, unsure of what to do next, Ye Jia came across a positive post about Lingfeng Island online. Although it only had two likes, it felt very genuine to her.
So I spent more than 20 hours lying on the green train, and arrived at a city near Lingfeng Island, and then took a boat to get there.
She hadn't decided where to stay on the island, or how long she would stay; she just came.
But she brought all her luggage.
Of course, it wasn't much, just a rolling suitcase, the kind that's really old-fashioned, a muddy color that doesn't look dirty but looks filthy. Its advantage is that it can hold a lot. My mom bought it for me in town after I got into Peking University.
My aunt and her friend were still discussing the handsome guy.
Ye Jia learned that he was a handsome man so good that he would make people dizzy at first glance, but he was very aloof and a bit fierce. Once, for some reason, he kicked all the guests out and went crazy.
But even if a handsome guy goes crazy, he's still handsome. What can we do? Of course, we forgive him.
Ye Jia was very interested. She was in Beicheng and had been heartbroken by a handsome guy she had screamed for in her teenage years. Now she no longer believed in the aesthetics of teenage girls, but she still had expectations for her aunt's aesthetics.
After all, he looked knowledgeable and worldly, while she was naive and ignorant. She fell in love with him in her freshman year and ignored all the strange things about him until the worst problem came to light.
Looking back now, Ye Jia doesn't think he's handsome anymore.
It's so ugly, so ugly, so ugly!
The one-hour sea voyage was much easier than the more than twenty hours of hard sleeper train journey, especially since we also received some exciting intelligence.
The scenery along the way was beautiful; the sea stretched as far as the eye could see, and the water was an unbelievably blue.
Compared to that, her troubles were just a drop of ink; though extremely black, once dropped into the sea, it quickly disappeared.
For Ye Jia, who grew up in the mountains and had never seen such a beautiful and vast sea, it was incredibly therapeutic.
After disembarking, Ye Jia first found a place to stay, put down his luggage, and then headed to the Fog Sea Lighthouse Bar according to the address on the map software.
In fact, Ye Jia's family brews liquor, sorghum liquor, and sometimes sweet potato liquor. It has a high alcohol content, and people drink it to get drunk so they can sleep better.
She was under a lot of pressure to prepare for college entrance exams in high school, and she drank a little bit of it, but it actually made her unable to sleep.
However, perhaps due to genetics, she has a pretty good alcohol tolerance.
Ye Jia didn't know what kind of drinks were served in the bar. The ones she had seen online were all colorful and had a great atmosphere, so she was curious about what they tasted like.
During her four years at Beicheng University and three years working there, she had never been to a bar, but she had been to a place that resembled a club once, which scared her so much that she has avoided such places ever since.
But the bars on the island must be the kind of places with a pleasant atmosphere that you see on TV, right?
Hmm, but my aunt said the boss is very fierce.

After taking a shower, Gu Anzhou casually draped a towel over his head, stood in front of the mirror, and looked at his face and body.
When I was receiving treatment from Teacher Lu, I practiced looking directly at myself in the mirror.
After that, it became a habit that I would stare at myself in the mirror for a while after each shower.
This is a person with scars on his body, scars from the past, and now he is working hard to recover.
He was in the bathroom, looking in the mirror.
Everything around him was personally selected by him, and there was no danger hidden within.
This is me, I am safe.
After finishing his silent prayer, Gu Anzhou dried his hair, walked out of the bathroom, and put on clean clothes.
I carried my hand-drip coffee to the balcony, and slowly finished it, accompanied by the warm, salty sea breeze.
It feels so good to be able to sleep undisturbed until the afternoon.
I slowly get up, bring in the goods that the supplier left at the door, clean the shop, have lunch at a delicious seafood restaurant nearby, and then take a shower. This routine feels great.
Not far away, a ferry from the main island was approaching, its engine emitting a low, steady hum that blended into the rhythm of the waves.
The daily arrival of the cruise ship at 3:15 PM is a reassuring routine, but it also serves as a reminder to Gu Anzhou that it's time to go downstairs and prepare the supplies.
A white cat darted up and started strutting around the flowerbed.
Gu Anzhou got up, patted the white cat's bottom, and prepared to go downstairs to work, but the white cat meowed affectionately and hooked its tail around his arm as if trying to keep him there.
Okay, let's take some more pictures.
The pace on the island is very relaxed. He doesn't need to be on edge all the time, being pushed to do one thing after another. He can take a few extra breaths whenever he wants because of these cute little surprises.
But we still have to open the door on time at six o'clock.
The population of Lingfeng Island is not large, but there are always quite a few tourists, regardless of the season.
In addition, as the only bar on the island, it does very good business every night.
Sometimes, even before the store opens, there are already people waiting at the door.
However, this appropriate "pressure" is also good; if he is too unrestrained, he will lose his sense of order and security.
Gu Anzhou went into the kitchen and began preparing the ingredients.
Wash lemons, oranges, and limes, and cut them into various shapes and sizes. The aroma of citrus fruits is relaxing.
But the buzzing sound of the juicer reached his right ear, and Gu Anzhou's brows furrowed involuntarily.
Handling these juicy ingredients makes it hard to avoid getting splashed. There are aprons in the kitchen, but he's somewhat reluctant to wear them, always feeling like he can't breathe properly.
I had no choice but to prepare the materials and change my clothes again.
In the locker room.
Gu Anzhou doesn't just slip on his clothes, nor does he start pulling them off from the collar to avoid obstructing his vision; he always grabs the hem first.
As soon as the T-shirt was pulled up to his shoulder, Gu Anzhou heard a loud and energetic exclamation.
"Oh—oh—oh—!!"
It sounded like an alarm.
Despite knowing that the island was safe, Gu Anzhou still went on high alert, immediately pulling his T-shirt down again and scanning the doorway with sharp eyes.
A girl, who looked thin and small, gave a completely different impression from her voice.
The girl raised her hand to cover her eyes, only her mouth was visible. The alarm had stopped, but she kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I think I went to the wrong place!"
It's obvious.
They couldn't possibly be coming to launch a sneak attack.
"Our store opens at 6 p.m."
The detached tone and emotionless narration, yet the rich texture of the voice made the tone captivating.
Based on the stunning figure and profile he had just caught a glimpse of, Ye Jia couldn't resist his curiosity and lowered his hand.
She regretted it the next second.
The moment their eyes met, Ye Jia even had the illusion that he was about to be captured and dried up—no, perhaps it wasn't an illusion.
How fierce! And this person really has an evil aura about him. My aunt was right; she felt dizzy just looking at him.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Ye Jia sincerely apologized and then ran away.
Ye Jia didn't stop running out of the store, afraid that people would chase after her. She ran several hundred meters under the scorching sun at four in the afternoon until she reached a coastline before stopping.
The ship she was on was returning to the main island. Ye Jia almost knelt down and begged, "Please take me with you!"
After disembarking, she put her luggage in the hotel and went to the bar. She saw that although the lighting inside was dim, at least there was light, and there was the smell of citrus and the sound of people walking around. She thought that there was no one outside and that she had gone to the wrong place. Little did she know that it was not open yet.
As a result, this exploration led them into someone's private space.
Actually, she could have sneaked away when no one was looking, but the problem was that she would definitely make a sound when she pushed the door open, and she also accidentally bumped into the door frame. Even if she didn't make a sound, she would still be discovered.
Rather than being caught sneaking away from behind and questioned about whether she was up to something bad, a direct apology is more practical.
Although the situation was awkward, Ye Jia wouldn't have suffered so much if it were someone else. The key issue was that he really looked fierce, and it didn't seem like an apology would be enough to resolve the matter.
Sigh, since they only open at six o'clock, why did Auntie come so early? Wouldn't it have been better to take the evening ferry?
Ye Jia was annoyed, partly because she didn't have the common sense that bars don't operate for long, and it wasn't listed on the map app either.
Luckily, she only saw someone changing clothes. If she had seen him doing something that suited that fierce-looking man's bad deeds, and if she had been caught up in a crime scene, she would have been in big trouble.
But then again, Ye Jia recalled his rugged face and his full... breasts.
Unable to resist, Ye Jia also started swallowing, just like her aunt.
No wonder people who have seen and learned a lot are still willing to spend time on such a person every week; she's even willing to visit him every day!
But now she's probably going to take a boat tonight and drift away.
Actually, the visual impact might only last for less than a second, but it's worth taking a closer look. Hmm, the back is also very wide. That area must be called the latissimus dorsi muscle. It looks so cool. There's also a long, slash-like scar on it, which is strangely a bit unsettling.
Wait, a cut?
Doesn't that confirm that his fierce appearance wasn't a misunderstanding, and that he might actually have infiltrated a crime scene?
