Chapter 24 Chapter 24 “I also wish you and Chen Rong have fun…
24. Sunrise
Having gone to bed too early, Jiang Nian woke up early the next morning. After a quick wash, he left the tent and saw that it was quiet outside. Everyone else was still asleep.
He looked into the distance and could see the shimmering sea. It was dawn, the sky was covered with pale white, and the sun was about to rise.
Sunrise at sea!
Jiang Nian's eyes lit up, and he turned to Jiang Hao and said, "Brother, I'll go over there and take a look."
Jiang Hao was packing his sleeping bag when he heard this and said, "Okay, don't go too far."
"I know."
Jiang Nian didn't walk far. He walked away from the tent area and came to a quiet place, looking out at the sea.
He waited patiently, and suddenly heard footsteps stop beside him. He turned around and saw the person coming. He smiled and said, "It's you. Good morning."
Lu Zhao replied, "Good morning."
Lu Zhao was wearing a black windbreaker, with his jet-black hair hanging down naturally, covering part of his forehead. This made him look not like a CEO who was a big shot in the business world, but more like a brother next door.
The two of them looked into the distance together. The clouds in the sky were soon dyed into gorgeous colors by the morning sun, reflecting the surface of the Willand Sea. The scene was extremely beautiful.
It was the first time that Jiang Nian saw the sunrise over the sea in real life. He did not use his mobile phone to take a picture, but used his eyes and brain to remember the moment.
“It’s beautiful.”
Jiang Nian heard Lu Zhao say this. He turned around and saw Lu Zhao looking at him.
Lu Zhao's dark pupils were illuminated by the morning sun, turning it into a brilliant golden hue. The radiant rays of light cast a golden glow on his face and body, making him look like a god stepping out of a painting.
Jiang Nian admired Lu Zhao's handsome face in the morning sun without any distractions in his heart, and thought to himself, yes, he is really beautiful.
Handsome, gentle, kind, and wealthy, Lu Zhao can truly satisfy anyone's fantasy of love and is the most perfect boyfriend candidate in the world.
No, wait! Jiang Nian thought of something and his smile suddenly froze.
The plot!
This island wedding was originally arranged for the protagonist's emotional transformation, but because of his appearance, Lu Zhao has been taking care of him. Now Lu Zhao and Chen Rong's feelings have not changed at all, and they still regard each other as friends.
Jiang Nian's face was filled with sorrow. He had been trying to avoid any further developments in Lu Zhao and Chen Rong's relationship, but he had ended up being the third wheel between them. A third wheel so bright and dazzling that it blinded the protagonist!
If he had known earlier, he should have stayed at home and not come out.
Lu Zhao and Chen Rong missed this opportunity. When will their relationship change again? Will they just continue to be friends like this and end up alone forever?
Jiang Nian thought about his own physical condition again. He would most likely be alone. If he, Lu Zhao, and Chen Rong were together, what would they be called? The Three Bachelor Brothers? That was too tragic. None of them had a partner.
Thinking of that bleak future, Jiang Nian's pupils trembled. What had he done?!
Lu Zhao was keenly aware of Jiang Nian's mood changes. He didn't understand why he had suddenly become so depressed when he had just been so happy. He asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"...Nothing." Jiang Nian made up his mind not to do anything with Lu Zhao and Shen Rong anymore.
He was no longer in the mood to appreciate the sunrise. He was in a very bad mood and said to Lu Zhao listlessly, "I woke up too early and I'm a little sleepy again. I'm going back to catch up on some sleep. You go find Chen Rong." After saying that, he left quickly without waiting for Lu Zhao's answer.
Lu Zhao watched Jiang Nian return to the tent, say something to Jiang Hao, then go into the tent and disappear.
Lu Zhao could understand that Jiang Nian was not in good health. He had experienced so much and was frightened yesterday, so he probably didn't sleep well at night. It was normal for him to wake up so early and be tied up. But what did it mean to ask him to find Chen Rong?
When he was a child, did he need someone to accompany him?
**
After returning from the island, Jiang Nian prepared a thank-you gift for Lu Zhao and asked Chen Rong to give it to Lu Zhao.
Seeing that Jiang Nian's face looked really bad, Chen Rong did not help Lu Zhao to get a chance to meet him. He took the gift and let Jiang Nian have a good rest.
After resting for a few days, Chen Rong saw that Jiang Nian was still staying at home and didn't go out, so he took half a day to go out and take Jiang Nian out for a walk.
He thought Jiang Nian was frightened by the earthquake on the island, so he didn't go out. He wanted to take him out to divert his attention. On the other hand, he wanted to take Jiang Nian out to relieve Lu Zhao's homesickness.
Lu Zhao was in high spirits because of the band-aid. He hadn't seen Jiang Nian for so many days since he came back. Shen Rong knew that even though Lu Zhao didn't say it, he must have missed her very much in his heart.
Chen Rong felt that he was a righteous friend and wanted to help his friends solve their problems.
Jiang Nian stayed at home for a few days to relax and felt less depressed.
He thought, Lu Zhao and Chen Rong are an official couple, destined to be together. It doesn't matter if they miss this opportunity, there will always be another time. As long as the two of them are together, it's only a matter of time before sparks fly.
In Jiang Nian's opinion, Lu Zhao was just too kind-hearted. Every time he saw him, he would devote his attention to taking care of him, and Chen Rong was left aside. This was not acceptable.
He had been bored at home for a few days and was really tired of staying at home, so he was happy when Chen Rong asked him out. But when Chen Rong said he wanted to go to Lu's shooting range and asked Lu Zhao to come with him, Jiang Nian's joy disappeared.
He had already made up his mind not to be a light bulb between Shen Rong and Lu Zhao. He refused on the grounds that he was a little tired and wanted to lie down.
Shen Rong heard that his voice was indeed listless, so he had to give up.
Jiang Nian stayed at home for a few more days. Lu Zhao sent him photos of a new batch of equipment at the shooting range and asked him if he had time to go and try it out together today.
The first thing Jiang Nian asked was: "Chen Rong, are you coming together?"
Because he almost exposed his feelings on the island, Lu Zhao didn't want Jiang Nian to see that his purpose was too obvious, so as not to scare him away. He also thought about Jiang Nian's dependence on Shen Rong, so he said that Shen Rong would come.
In the shooting range office, Lu Zhao raised the corners of his lips and was about to ask the manager to prepare Jiang Nian's favorite snacks in advance when he received Jiang Nian's reply.
Jiang Nian apologized and told him that he had to accompany his mother today and could not come.
Lu Zhao's lips straightened, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "Okay, have fun with Auntie."
Jiang Nian replied: "I hope you and Chen Rong have fun too."
Lu Zhao: “…”
Calling Chen Rong was just an excuse. If Jiang Nian wasn't coming, he naturally wouldn't call Chen Rong. He didn't even have the mood to experience this batch of new equipment.
The manager had already arranged everything. When he saw Lu Zhao stand up, he was about to take him to the VIP box, but he saw Lu Zhao go straight downstairs and walk out of the shooting range.
The manager was puzzled: "Mr. Lu?"
Lu Zhao said, "Next time, you go ahead and get busy."
The manager was confused. New equipment had been purchased today and the boss suddenly came over. He seemed to be in a good mood and seemed very interested. Why did he suddenly leave?
Who exactly was the boss contacting? Why did he suddenly lose interest? However, as an employee, it was not appropriate to delve into the boss's private affairs. The manager stood at the door and respectfully escorted Lu Zhao away.
On the other side, Jiang Nian put down his phone and patted his chest.
He didn't know why, they were all his friends, but he felt that rejecting Lu Zhao was more psychologically stressful than rejecting Chen Rong.
He suppressed his emotions, thinking about Chen Rong going out to play and thinking about Lu Zhao, and Lu Zhao would also think of calling Chen Rong. His decision not to appear with the two of them was indeed the right one.
Jiang Nian's initially apprehensive heart gradually calmed down. He thought, even if there wasn't danger to force a rapid change in their relationship, it wouldn't be bad if they fell in love over time.
