Jing Min turned and stared at her for a moment, his eyes unfathomable, before his voice rang out in a dangerous, cold tone.
Why didn't you come to keep our appointment?
A sentence without beginning or end.
Chu Wuyang was momentarily confused and had no answer.
"What?"
Chu Wuyang slightly raised her eyes, her gaze clear and bright, her innocent eyes incredibly vibrant.
Jing Min thought of Yun Shu, who was still lying in bed half-dead.
In that instant, it seemed he no longer wanted to argue.
Even felt fortunate
Thankfully, she didn't keep the appointment.
Over the years, he has been constantly agonizing over this matter, tormented by the conflict.
I want to ask her the answer in person.
I finally asked the question this time, and I thought I would hear some hurtful words.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an answer that wasn't even an answer.
I didn't pay attention to it at the time, so I haven't thought about it at all now.
Or perhaps you saw the text message at the time, but didn't pay it any mind and naturally forgot about it over time.
But why does he remember it so clearly?
The more anticipation I felt for that unread message, the more disappointed I became afterward.
He no longer wanted to delve into or care about her bewildered reaction.
After all, there is still a long time ahead.
Chu Wuyang didn't notice the undercurrent surging in Jing Min's eyes.
She wanted to leave this place, not just the cabin; she wanted to leave the island immediately.
This is not only because Jingmin made a mess of things earlier,
It was also because everything here was strange, at least that's how she felt.
It's like a mural world.
Everything here is like a painting, and Jingmin is naturally the owner of this painting.
And she is the person trapped in the painting.
Everything here was familiar to her, yet it felt utterly foreign.
"When are we leaving? I promised I had to go back to defend my thesis!"
She jumped off the bar and stood in an open space, urging him to ask.
After a brief internal struggle, Jing Min's gloomy expression dissipated.
He bent down and gently cleared away the debris around Chu Wuyang's feet, answering in a flat tone.
"The flight route has already been applied for, and it can fly tonight. We agreed to only stay for one day, so it won't interfere with your defense time."
Chu Wuyang was relieved.
Jingmin picked up the chair that had just been kicked over, turned to look at her, and suggested...
"You seem to like this place quite a bit, don't you? How about we stay here for a while after you graduate?"
The house was the same as the familiar North Building, and it also included a wooden cabin with special significance. Jingmin couldn't think of any reason why she would refuse.
The next moment, Chu Wuyang heard a strong sense of rejection in his heart, but he still maintained a perfunctory attitude on the surface.
"Let's talk about it later!"
She genuinely found this place oppressive; it was a beautiful place for a relaxing vacation, but not for her.
Living there long-term is not feasible; there's no social interaction or internet access.
Jing Min's pupils darkened slightly.
He stepped forward, took Chu Wuyang's hand, and led her out.
It was just past noon, and Chu Wuyang, thinking about how she wasn't leaving until the evening and hadn't slept well the night before, realized...
I was thinking of going upstairs to catch up on some sleep first, so I could board the plane as soon as I woke up.
Jingmin stopped her, saying she could sleep on the plane, as the journey wouldn't be short, and he had time now to take her to see the dolphins.
Dolphins happen to be seen in this area of water this season.
Chu Wuyang became interested upon hearing this. She hadn't really wanted to stay on the island anyway, so why was she inexplicably averse to it?
It's a good opportunity to go out to sea and shake off the gloom from the cruise ship, making up for the scenery we didn't get to appreciate properly.
She readily agreed.
It was just the two of them. Jing Min was in charge of driving the yacht, and Chu Wuyang was a little worried about his driving skills.
But seeing the usually meticulous,
Even Yan Zhou, who valued Jing Min's life more than his own, looked relaxed and at ease.
Suddenly she realized her worries were unnecessary.
Chu Wuyang stood on the yacht, gazing at the vast, boundless sea—a breathtaking expanse of azure.
The weather was wonderful; the sky was a brilliant, jewel-like blue, the sea and sky blended seamlessly, and the white clouds and waves reflected each other beautifully—a truly magnificent scene.
Chu Wuyang withdrew her gaze and looked at Jing Min in the cockpit.
He seemed to be in a good mood, wearing a beige cotton-linen shirt and shorts in the same color family.
The shirt collar was slightly open, and her fair skin seemed to be coated with a golden halo under the sunlight.
Brown sunglasses sat beneath his high, straight nose, obscuring his deep-set eyes.
Meeting Chu Wuyang's gaze, her thin, rosy lips curved into a slight upward smile, revealing a captivating expression.
Chu Wuyang was stunned for a moment.
Sigh, a beautiful appearance can indeed be deceiving!
No wonder both Lin Yuebai and Yun Yang followed suit.
Even I myself back then...
"Hmph!" she scoffed at herself. Thinking about these things...
The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is—this is true of mushrooms, and even more so of poisonous snakes!
The yacht gradually reduced its speed and came to a stop.
Jing Min emerged from the cockpit and walked towards her.
Is it pretty?
Chu Wuyang raised her eyes, looked at him, and nodded. "Beautiful."
Jingmin raised his hand and tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ear, smiling gently.
"I'm asking you if the scenery is beautiful?"
Chu Wuyang understood his implied meaning and felt somewhat embarrassed. She turned her gaze back to the sea.
Jingmin was beautiful before, and she was never stingy with praise back then.
Moreover, he's the kind of person who's handsome and aware of it.
Chu Wuyang, of course, understood that he was making fun of her.
He didn't intend to continue the conversation, and said sullenly.
"I was just saying the scenery is beautiful!"
The person next to him chuckled softly, "Hmm..."
"Why haven't we seen any dolphins yet?"
Jingmin took off his sunglasses, gazed into the distance, and said gently and patiently:
