Because of these few words, the conversation between the two of them was not as awkward as before. Lin Muyan occasionally replied to Xiao Chen, but both of them were trying to avoid the topic of work, not wanting the other to know their real identity. Just as they were chatting happily and embarking on their journey to Mi Hai, another plane heading to the same destination was taking off in ten minutes.
In the first-class cabin, a woman wearing sunglasses, a Rainbow Striped T-shirt on her upper body, and Flared pants in a soft pink shade on her lower body, couldn't hide her anxiousness as she frequently checked the time on her phone. After much hesitation, Cheng Young still chased after her. However, the plane ahead was already fully chartered, and even if she added money, she couldn't get on, so she had to settle for second best.
She is anxious and distressed at the thought of her master possibly being with another woman, feeling both sour and bitter in her heart. Clearly, she has spent the most time with him and invested the deepest emotions, so why should someone else take the lead? She is unwilling and cannot accept it.
Cheng Young Biting her lower lip, the bright red lips seemed to drip like fresh blood, so red it breaks one's heart.
After getting off the plane, the salty and humid sea breeze came rushing, blowing Lin Muyan's hat brim backward.
Although their destination was Mi-hai, the place they stayed was the most famous seaside resort in the southern city... Mi-hai Resort.
The resort is built above the sea and is known for its reputation as a floating city.
To get to the resort, you need to take a boat. Lin Muyan and their luggage have already been delivered to their respective rooms by the island staff.
After Lin Muyan and Liu Er Bao checked in, Lin Muyan took a short video of the sea view, which surprised Liu Er Bao and made her send several crying emojis.
She put away her phone, and the luxury cruise ship continued to sail steadily forward. She enjoyed the sea breeze, her hair fluttering, basking in the sunlight, savoring a rare moment of tranquility. As she turned to say something to Xiao Chen, she saw the man leaning against the door, his face pale, one hand clutching his chest, the other hanging weakly.
"Xiao Chen Are you seasick?"
The two of them had at least met once, and since he was the only one familiar with this place, Lin Muyan worriedly wanted to help him back to the ship, but was weakly stopped by Xiao Chen.
"It's okay, I'll feel better with some sea breeze."
He had a pale face, spoke in a low voice, and his rebellious bangs were damp with cold sweat, slightly drooping, covering half of his starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows, giving him a sense of vulnerability.
"Wait for me here," Lin Muyan said to him. After looking at him for a while, she quickly left and returned soon after with two pills and a glass of water.
"Try one first, and if you still feel unwell, then take another one." Lin Muyan stared at him as he swallowed the medicine, seeing him leaning weakly against the cabin door, couldn't help but say, "Why did you come to the seaside for a trip if you have such a strong seasickness reaction?" Xiao Chen didn't respond, just smiled bitterly and took a sip of water.
The throat rolled, and mischievous water droplets overflowed from the corner of his lips, then slid down his graceful neck and disappeared into his collar.
Lin Muyan blushed slightly. The person in front of her unconsciously exuded a hormone that was difficult to resist, and yet this person innocently looked at her without any self-awareness.
Xiao Chen seemed to feel better after taking the medicine. Lin Muyan once again offered to help him onto the boat, and he obediently complied without struggling.
A seagull quickly flew past the side of the turbine, circled around the bow of the ship a few times, begging for food. Several grandpas and aunties bought some snacks and threw them towards the circling seagulls. Lin Muyan had originally wanted to continue enjoying the sea breeze outside, but seeing the sickly handsome apprentice in front of her, her heart inexplicably softened, and she occasionally helped him drink water. As a wealthy heiress, Lin Muyan had very few instances of taking care of others.
Xiao Chen's cup was refilled with water as soon as it was empty. Before reaching the resort, Xiao Chen had no choice but to drink two large pots of warm water. Lin Muyan finally agreed to get close, and no matter how bitter he felt inside, he would not refuse. The former Erhai Lake Resort was a Mediterranean-style thatched cottage with a bar, dining, and massage facilities, while the latter was a modern hotel accommodation with an extended outdoor pool facing the sea at 180 degrees.
Lin Muyan was arranged in the innermost suite on the third floor, which was a sea-view suite. The spacious area was enough to accommodate five or six people for living and dining together. After briefly meeting the residents of the apartment building and temporarily bidding farewell to Xiao Chen, Lin Muyan quickly tidied up her luggage, then threw herself onto the soft bed and drifted off to sleep.
In the evening, she woke up quietly.
Glancing at the time, she changed into a backless long dress, with the hem reaching her ankles. The dress was a very light and faint pink as the base color, with a layer of soft fluffy material resembling feathers on the outside, giving off a fairy-like vibe.
Dinner at the resort was an unlimited buffet, offering all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea, free of charge, with the freshest and most delicious flavors. By the time Lin Muyan arrived, the banquet had already begun for a few minutes.
Grandpa and the auntie who had a bit to drink have already started playing square dancing music, creating a lively atmosphere. The diners and the dancers are almost overlapping. Lin Muyan quietly served herself a plate, found a quiet corner, and slowly enjoyed her dinner. She used a knife to cut open a palm-sized lobster and leisurely fed herself the small pieces of lobster meat.
An uncle swayed over and suddenly walked up, seeing Lin Muyan and grinning. "Are you also part of our group? You're really good-looking. Here, let me toast to you. It's fate to meet, let's have a drink." The uncle poured a full glass of red wine for Lin Muyan as if it were free, then raised his own glass in a pretentious manner, smiling greasily as he took a sip.
After drinking, he smacked his lips and said, "This 1982 Lafite doesn't taste good. The few bottles of 1974 in my cellar at home are much better. Hey, why don't you have a drink too? You can't refuse me, you know."
Clearly drunk, Lin Muyan raised her eyebrows and tried to get up, but he swayed and stopped her, saying, "You won't drink my wine? Do you know who I am? I'm the vice president of the Lianhua Group, with assets worth billions. Give me some face and drink it."
As he spoke, the uncle reached out to grab Lin Muyan's wrist, but his hand froze in mid-air and he turned his stiff head to meet Xiao Chen's expressionless cold face.
"Uncle, my girlfriend is allergic to alcohol. If something happens because of the alcohol you gave, can you take responsibility for it?"
Xiao Chen naturally stood in front of Lin Muyan, separating her from the drunken uncle.
Lin Muyan couldn't see how scary his cold eyes were at the moment. She only felt that Xiao Chen was too tall, and his figure completely engulfed her in darkness when he stood in front of her.
"This is good wine!"
The uncle raised his empty glass and muttered a few words before swaying away.
Xiao Chen squinted and waited until no one dared to come and disturb Lin Muyan, then he put away the coldness in his eyes and turned slowly, "Call me when you meet this kind of person in the future."
When he said this, it seemed natural as if he didn't realize that only in a close relationship can one wholeheartedly rely on another person.
Lin Muyan restrained her emotions and nodded lightly.
With Xiao Chen by her side, the glances stolen at Lin Muyan also diminished quite a bit.
"Are you okay?"
Looking at Xiao Chen as he brought the tray over, Lin Muyan asked him.
Whether it was out of gratitude for his help or their acquaintance, she felt that showing some concern was not a problem.
Xiao Chen smiled slightly at the words, and even his response sounded much more cheerful, "Much better, thank you for the seasickness medicine."
Lin Muyan smiled, "You're quite surprising too. You look quite strong, yet you have seasickness. Has it always been like this?"
Xiao Chen took a bite of shrimp, "It wasn't like this before, it only became like this after a certain accident."
He didn't say what the accident was, and Lin Muyan tactfully didn't ask further. The two of them ate in silence, but the atmosphere was not tense, rather quite harmonious. The grandmas also brought their habit of square dancing to the resort. When they were almost done eating, a microphone suddenly appeared from somewhere and started singing.
Lin Muyan silently listened to the quiet night, while a strong voice sang, "My Motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment..." She quietly tugged at Xiao Chen's sleeve and said, "Let's go over there." She pointed to a dimly lit, artificial beach not far away.
Away from the crowd, the depth and tranquility brought by the sea water become even purer. Lin Muyan and Xiao Chen maintain a distance of one step, slowly walking on the beach, neither of them speaking first.
Lin Muyan looks up at the clear night sky, feeling a bit itchy inside. Unable to resist, she takes off her sandals and casually puts them aside, stepping barefoot into the soft sand. The surface of the sand at night carries a coolness, but inside it is slightly warm due to her body temperature.
Lin Muyan smiled and kicked a pebble upward, then spun around, causing her skirt to flutter in a beautiful arc. Feeling playful, she suddenly heard a click and turned to see Xiao Chen awkwardly holding his phone to take a picture. When he noticed her looking, he scratched his head like a shy little boy. "Let me see how good your photography skills are."
It's probably the atmosphere that made it happen. Lin Muyan ran back a few steps barefoot and peeked at his phone. In the photo, she looked like a happy elf, with fiery and brilliant red hair, which set off her whole person, making her skin translucent and fair. Under the blessing of the night, she appeared hazy and beautiful. Her sudden approach made Xiao Chen momentarily at a loss, staring blankly at the red curly hair so close at hand. The other party's naked and straight back instantly made his face flush.
He wanted to say they were too close, but when Lin Muyan looked at the photo and left, he stared blankly at the now empty space, absentmindedly blinking his eyes.
"Send it to me," Lin Muyan opened her phone's WeChat, "this time I won't delete you as a friend."
When she saw the friend request from the other party, she smiled, causing Xiao Chen to be momentarily stunned. He quickly lowered his head to pretend to be focused on the examination, but couldn't help stealing glances at Lin Muyan, hoping she would smile at him again like she did before.
