Shu Hui blushed, feeling the room key in her hand burning hot. She looked to Shen Jun for help, only to find that Shen Jun was sharing a room with Chu Xiang, completely abandoning her. Deng Fangping had also left her to live with Shu Lan.
Uncle Shu and Deng Fangping came with their child. This was Dai Donglin's idea. Dai Donglin hoped that all of Chu Yu's relatives could witness her proposal. He even specially arranged for someone to take photos and videos to keep as a memento.
Shu Hui didn't think much of it, but little did she know that it would become the reason they abandoned her.
Shu Hui blushed and awkwardly held the room key. "Brother Luo, don't take it to heart. I don't know what those girls are up to."
Luo Kangcheng was quite open and generous. He took off his coat and was only wearing a T-shirt. He was strong and his arms were very defined, making him look more masculine than usual.
"I didn't think much of it, and you shouldn't either. We're all here on vacation, so please don't let me affect your mood. If you really don't want me to stay so close, then I'll switch rooms with Chu Yu's colleague..."
"No need, Brother Luo, that's not what I meant."
Shu Hui didn't want things to get too awkward, but she also didn't want Luo Kangcheng to overthink it. They were all adults, so why make such a fuss?
Having figured this out, Shu Hui readily accepted the room key and went to her room to change clothes and wash up.
Chu Yu booked a sea-view room for Shu Hui, which was very close to the sea and had a bathtub by the window facing the sea, so she could take a bath in the bathtub at night.
Shu Hui had never imagined she could live such a life. When she went to Hong Kong for the Spring Festival, she was amazed. But after coming to Nanhai this time, she realized that this is how rich people vacation. She had lived such a poor life before!
The allure of money is intoxicating; it turns out that if you work hard, you can live in a sea-view room and take a bath in a tub.
Shu Hui inexplicably relaxed.
Once a person relaxes, they won't feel so awkward and uncomfortable. Shu Hui changed into a floral long dress, which Chu Xiang had prepared for her. Shu Hui originally didn't want to wear it, but Chu Xiang threw away all the clothes she had prepared.
Chu Xiang said that Dai Donglin proposed to Shu Hui, so she should dress up nicely and take beautiful photos.
Since her daughter had said so, what could Shu Hui say? She could only obey.
But she didn't expect that Luo Kangcheng would come to the South China Sea.
Shu Hui felt awkward no matter what. The clothes were a bit tight, accentuating her figure. She was already quite old and a mother of three; she shouldn't be dressed like this at all.
Chu Xiang also prepared a straw hat for her, but Shu Hui really couldn't accept such a youthful look.
When Luo Kangcheng went out, he saw Shu Hui standing at the door looking completely different. He was visibly surprised. He knew Shu Hui was pretty, but at her age, no matter how beautiful she was, she couldn't compare to a young girl.
However, Shu Hui changed into a brightly colored dress, making her look only about thirty years old. Her skin was rosy, and she had a shyness that didn't match her age when she looked at people.
Luo Kangcheng smiled and said generously:
You look great dressed like that.
Luo Kangcheng was wearing a summer T-shirt. Shu Hui noticed he hadn't brought any new clothes and said:
“My daughter bought it. I originally said I didn’t want it because I’m getting old and it’s not appropriate for me to wear it like this.”
Luo Kangcheng disagreed: "Why is it inappropriate to dress like this just because you're older? I don't think people should limit themselves. There's no rule that says you can dress like this at twenty but not at forty. Shu Hui, everyone only lives once. We don't live in the eyes of others. We live for ourselves. As long as we're happy, that's all that matters."
He made sense, so Shu Hui was no longer reserved and went out wearing a skirt with confidence.
The two went out to find Chu Yu, but Chu Yu had booked a local tour for the employees and hired someone to take care of them, leaving them behind.
Luo Kangcheng has never been to the South China Sea, but he has visited many cities across the country during his work trips.
Luo Kangcheng also enjoyed traveling when he was young, but due to the nature of his work, he didn't have the opportunity to travel around.
He took out a camera. "Let's go for a walk on the beach, I'll take some pictures of you!"
Shu Hui's eyes widened. "You can take pictures too?"
"It's just a hobby, nothing fancy, and my photography skills are so-so, but I can still take a few travel photos for you. I brought a few rolls of film, that should be enough for you."
Luo Kangcheng's words made Shu Hui a little uncomfortable. Shu Hui was worried about other people's opinions, but no one here knew them. She gradually let down her guard and relaxed in the blue sky and sea.
Luo Kangcheng pointed to a rock and said, "Go over there, strike a pose, and I'll take a picture of you."
Shu Hui was a little reserved when taking photos, especially since the person taking her photos was Luo Kangcheng.
Luo Kangcheng patiently guided her through the movements. Knowing that Shu Hui's smile was stiff, he took some candid photos of her, which turned out to be quite good.
Chu Yu, Chu Xiang, and Chu Chu secretly hid behind the coconut trees and followed them all the way.
Who is Luo Kangcheng? He has an exceptionally strong sense of counter-surveillance and had already spotted the three girls. Fearing that Shu Hui would feel uncomfortable, he deliberately didn't tell her, only occasionally glancing back at the three of them.
Chu Xiang chuckled to herself, "Mom looks quite pretty in this dress. Sis, could your beauty come from Mom?"
Chu Yu laughed, "It's not like you didn't inherit it."
"I'm nowhere near as pretty as you! Even Chu Chu has surpassed me now. Chu Chu is a big star, and she's gotten more and more beautiful over the years. You two have been secretly getting prettier behind my back, leaving me all behind!"
Chu Xiang is naturally beautiful; she's a true beauty even in a crowd.
