"Alright, everyone's here, let's go!"
Is everyone here?
Because they were all friends of Xuan Mingyu, Bai Xiaoruo initially thought that Mu Qingyan was actually using the pretense of inviting her to the beach to get Xuan Mingyu to come along, and that she wanted to set them up.
Or is it really just that she's overthinking things?
She always says harsh words to drive him away, but when she can't see him, she misses him. Bai Xiaoruo, are you crazy?
"Xiao Ruo, what's wrong?" Ji Ziqian suddenly grasped her hand on her lap, noticing her furrowed brows and worried expression, as if something was on her mind.
Bai Xiaoru was startled, pulling her wandering thoughts back. "Oh, it's nothing. Brother Ziqian, you should drive now. They've all left."
"Don't worry, I know the way. It's a long way, and when we get there, all we can do today is look at the sunset over the beach."
"Yes, it's okay."
If you can't play today, you can play tomorrow. This holiday has only just begun.
Ji Shushu sat in the back seat, leaning against Bai Xiaoruo's seat cushion, watching the two of them being all lovey-dovey. She couldn't help but sigh, "My brother is so mushy when he's with Xiaoruo. I should have just gotten together with..."
Uh, forget it. The other two cars might be even more cheesy than she imagined, and there might even be something inappropriate for children.
Ugh! This is so unfair to single people!
***
Just as Ji Ziqian had said, by the time they arrived at the beach they had agreed upon, it was already past four in the afternoon. The sun was beginning to set, and the beach was getting cooler, making it unsuitable for swimming.
Bai Xiaoruo had fallen asleep while sitting in the car. Ji Ziqian and Ji Shushu unloaded the luggage from the car before waking her up.
"Xiao Ruo, wake up, we've arrived."
"Hmm." Bai Xiaoruo rubbed her eyes and looked around through the windshield. Had they arrived yet? She couldn't remember how long she had been asleep.
She quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
I haven't fallen asleep in a car like this in a long time.
In the past, whenever she fell asleep, Xuan Mingyu would never wake her up. Instead, he would let her sleep, afraid of disturbing her, and would simply carry her out of the car while she was fast asleep.
And every time I wake up, I'm in my bed at home.
The only time he would wake her up was to urge her to take a shower and then go back to sleep.
For some reason, I suddenly started to miss the times when I could be endlessly affectionate with him, snuggling in his arms...
Oh my god! I'm going crazy!
Bai Xiaoruo, you big idiot, what nonsense are you thinking about now!
You rejected him first, so why are you still thinking about him?
No, he's not that good. He even killed their child with his own hands. He's a hypocritical bastard. She'll never think about him again!
"Xiao Ruo, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Ji Ziqian touched her forehead with his hand; it wasn't hot.
But she kept frowning and her expression was strange. Ji Ziqian wondered if she was having trouble adjusting to the new environment.
"It's alright, let's go. Where did they all go?"
"They've all gone inside. The house is just ahead. Let's go over and put our luggage away first."
"good."
......
Chi Hao's three-story private villa has a total of ten rooms on the second and third floors, all with the largest double beds, enough for quite a few people to stay.
This place used to be used for gatherings between friends of the group. It's been a long time since they've been here, but a cleaner comes regularly to clean it.
Chi Hao may not have much in the world, but he has an abundance of houses and land. His family is in the real estate business, and he has been a pampered young master since childhood. Mu Qingyan, on the other hand, came from an ordinary family. Meeting him and marrying him was completely unexpected, and she herself hadn't planned it at all.
Chi Hao fell in love with her at first sight. He was determined to win her over, and after several months of relentless pursuit, Mu Qingyan finally believed in his sincerity and was willing to be with him.
"Wow...it's so big...it's several times the size of my house..." Ji Shushu ran around, almost dazzled by the sight. She never dreamed she could come to such a place. The accommodations were too luxurious!
It's like a palace inside and out.
Poverty truly limits one's imagination!
"Come on, everyone, don't be shy. You can choose any room you like. Each room is decorated differently, so you can stay in whichever one you want, except for the one at the very end of the second floor that's locked. Hehe, you know what I mean."
Filled with curiosity, Ji Shushu couldn't help but ask Mu Qingyan, "What does locking the door mean? Is there something scary locked inside?"
"Uh..." Mu Qingyan and Chi Hao exchanged glances, unsure how to explain it to her.
Bai Xiaoruo pulled Ji Shushu back, "Shushu, stop talking nonsense. That's someone else's bedroom, of course the door has to be locked. Let's go upstairs and choose a room."
"Oh right, I'll hurry up and pick one out, it wouldn't be good if someone else snatched the one I want."
As she spoke, Ji Shushu grabbed her luggage and ran upstairs, afraid that the room would really be emptied out.
The people downstairs looked helpless. Apart from Gu Yao, Bai Xiaoruo, Ji Shushu, and Ji Ziqian, who might sleep in separate rooms, the other two couples were young married couples who would stay together. But don't worry, there are plenty of rooms available, so there's no need to fight over them.
"Brother Ziqian, let's go up too." Bai Xiaoruo wasn't in a hurry. She already had a room in mind. Since it was a villa by the sea, the top floor would be the best place to have a view. She just wanted to stay on the third floor, and any room would be fine with her.
