Chapter 42 I Like You So Much
Qiao Yang lay leisurely on the beach chair in the yard.
Sun, sea, drinks.
Good times.
In the distance, a brown unidentified object was rushing towards him.
Qiao Yang took off his sunglasses and took a closer look.
Samoyed? Coconut?
When I reacted, I found that it was not brown, but shit yellow mixed with gray.
Too late. A foul odor hit me in the face.
Coconut braked, gave an evil "Yeah Yeah" smile, and then shook three times in place.
Liquid mixed with unknown solid objects splashed, and Qiao Yang jumped three feet high.
"Oh my god!!!" Qiao Yang fled the scene. "Coconut, which cesspool did you fall into!!!"
Unfortunately, Coconut was chasing him relentlessly, and running on two legs was slower than running on four legs.
Knowing there was no escape, evil thoughts instantly took root in Qiao Yang's mind. He ran towards the other three: "Hehehehehehehe. We're in this together! Don't even think about escaping!!!"
"Qiao Yang, stay away from me!"
"Kan Zhao, help!"
"I'm really impressed."

The style of painting changed.
Dongyu was on the upstairs terrace, leaning on a beach chair, watching the clouds roll by in the sky.
The sounds of chasing and playing next door added a bit of vitality to the not-so-quiet courtyard.
The wind chimes were ringing, and on the small wooden table next to it was a letter with the words still wet.
Dear Wanwan:
It's summer again, and your favorite phoenix flower is in bloom.
I met a group of kids this year. They are full of energy and look a lot like you.
Yeah. Okay. Actually, I mean, I miss you a lot.
Remember when you said you wanted a house with a view of the ocean, a yard filled with your favorite flowers, and the sound of waves waking you up every morning? Now all those wishes have come true, except you're not here.
I change the flowers in front of your photo every day, as if you were still by my side. Sometimes I imagine I hear your laughter coming from the kitchen, or see your back as you sit on the terrace reading a book.
This B&B was our dream and now it has become my reason for living.
Love you forever
Dongyu

As the month came to an end, Dong Yao asked Lin Qingxu when they could go back.
The reply was the end of the month.
Dongyu stroked the dog's head and said that we might as well wait, as there will be a fireworks festival in a few days, which will be very beautiful.
Qionghai is a domestic tourist destination, famous for its beaches and waves, and attracts a constant stream of tourists every year. In order to give back to tourists, Qionghai holds a fireworks feast every year.
The organizers invited celebrities to perform on stage, and small stalls gathered around, with snacks, handicrafts and souvenirs filling both sides of the aisles.
The crowds continued to gather, and the four of them were separated by tourists who passed by from time to time. In the end, Lin Qingxu was left with only Kan Zhao by her side.
I called to ask for the location of the other two people. Ruan Yanyan was playing in a fireworks hut passing by, and Qiao Yang was attracted by the snack stand next to it.
There was a loud explosion.
Fireworks exploded across the night sky, their golden glow illuminating the entire bay. Countless fireworks soared into the sky, painting brilliant patterns across the deep blue sky. Giant luminous jellyfish slowly unfolded and scattered across the night sky, condensing into the words "Qionghai Welcomes You."
Kan Zhao was next to her ear, his voice almost drowned out by the sound of fireworks.
Lin Qingxu turned and looked at him.
The colorful lights of the fireworks reflected in his eyes.
They strolled along the beach by the sea, a rare and peaceful spot amidst the bustling city.
Lin Qingxu took off his shoes, leaving a trail of footprints on the dark sand soaked by sea water.
They also came here when they were young.
The two families came to Qionghai for vacation. The children were very energetic, and the adults were too tired to play with them, so they let Lin Qingxu and Kan Zhao play on their own.
A vendor nearby bought small digging shovels and colorful plastic buckets for them to play with by scooping crabs.
Their interest faded quickly, and soon they had thrown the bucket aside and were sitting on the sand building castles.
Even someone as ruthless as Kan Zhao destroyed Lin Qingxu's work with a small shovel as soon as she finished it.

The fireworks display didn't end until late at night.
Qiao Yang played until dawn before falling asleep. Before going to bed, he quickly canceled his plans for the next day in the small group of four, saying that he wanted to sleep until the next day.
Ruan Yanyan followed closely behind, "+1."
Lin Qingxu came back early and wasn't as tired as the other two. In the afternoon, before Qiao Yang and Ruan Yanyan woke up, Lin Qingxu went to the movie theater for some entertainment.
She took a few bags of potato chips and curled up on the sofa, finding a popular movie to watch.
Coconut, who had probably heard the noise, came running and knocked the door open. Ton Ton came running over and sniffed around on the low table.
Lin Qingxu pressed the opening of the potato chips and hugged the coconut: "You can't eat it. There are a lot of additives in it."
Coconut is agile and incredibly clever. As soon as I let go, it'll roll its eyes and make sure to snatch the bag of chips away and hide it under the bed to eat. Based on my experience over the past few days, I've learned this.
Lin Qingxu had no choice but to call Kan Zhao.
Kan Zhao came over upon hearing the noise, holding some dried puppy and duck meat in his hand.
Seeing the snacks, Coconut was quite obedient. He climbed onto the sofa with a grunt, taking a piece of meat in a mouthful. After he finished eating, he didn't make a fuss and watched the movie that he couldn't understand together.
The air conditioner fan was whirring.
The tiredness lingered, especially with a furry ball in my arms.
Feeling a slight heaviness on his shoulder, Kan Zhao glanced sideways and saw Lin Qingxu had his eyes closed, his breathing even and rising. Coconut, beside him, had already begun to snore softly.
Kan Zhao stared at her, his breathing slowing to a whisper. The light and shadows from the film passed over her sleeping face, her long eyelashes casting tiny shadows on her face.
He held her neck with one hand and slowly placed her on the sofa. The movement was gentle, but enough for Coconut to lift her head.
"Shh." Kan Zhao raised his index finger and put it to his lips.
The big dog was sensible and didn't bark. Instead, it looked at him with its signature yeah smile and flapped its tail happily on the sofa.
Lin Qingxu's hair was scattered on the sofa cushions, with a few strands resting on the tip of her nose, swaying gently with her breathing.
Kan Zhao adjusted his posture, gently passing one hand through Lin Qingxu's knees and supporting her back with the other hand.
As he moved, his sleeve brushed against her ankle. Lin Qingxu trembled slightly in her sleep, but did not wake up.
The corridor from the living room to the bedroom suddenly became very long.
She leaned naturally on his shoulder. The faint scent of shampoo between her hair penetrated Kan Zhao's nostrils, a mixture of rose and citrus, so familiar that it made his heart flutter.
Kan Zhao walked very slowly.
He pushed open the door.
The evening light shone through the gauze curtains onto the bed, giving everything a layer of orange-yellow halo. Kan Zhao bent down and gently placed Lin Qingxu's legs on the edge of the bed, then slowly let her back touch the mattress.
Coconut also followed, walked around the bed twice, and looked at the two people in front of him with his round eyes in confusion.
Lin Qingxu's skin looked exceptionally soft in the twilight, her eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes, and her lips slightly parted, looking incredibly soft.
Kan Zhao squatted in front of the bed and carefully reached out to brush the hair off Lin Qingxu's face.
An impulse suddenly surged in his heart. Kan Zhao leaned over, held his breath, and gently kissed her forehead.
He gently rubbed Lin Qingxu's cheek with his fingertips.
"I like you so much."
