As soon as she lay down, she couldn't help but think that two dead birds had been thrown on this bed.
Lin Muyan didn't think her nerves could be so strong and unresponsive.
She didn't want to continue staying there, but there were no available rooms, and the manager looked very troubled.
"If you don't mind, you can stay at my place," Xiao Chen suddenly spoke in the silence, as if afraid that Lin Muyan would misunderstand. He quickly added, "I'll give you the bed, I'll sleep on the sofa. You can rest assured, I won't do anything to make you uncomfortable." Lin Muyan seemed to have no other choice, and after some hesitation, she agreed.
Avoiding the bed, she stuffed all her belongings into the suitcase. Lin Muyan hurried out of her room, thinking she would have to walk for a while to get to Xiao Chen's room, but it turned out to be so close, just two doors down. Xiao Chen had already tidied up the room a bit and naturally took the suitcase from Lin Muyan and placed it inside.
He found this sea-view suite quite similar to the one Lin Muyan had. After getting a little familiar with it, Lin Muyan adapted to the orientation here. "I poured you a glass of warm water to calm your nerves," Xiao Chen said as he brought the water over. Just then, Lin Muyan discovered that Liu Er Bao had secretly stuffed a sexy lace underwear into the side zipper of her suitcase. She panicked as she tried to cover it up, accidentally exposing the thin strap.
Light fabric fell lightly at her feet, right in Xiao Chen's line of sight.
"I didn't mean to look."
Xiao Chen also didn't expect to be so unlucky to see this, and for a moment, he panicked too, waving his hands and saying it wasn't intentional, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the thin, pitiful fabric.
His overly realistic expression completely made Lin Muyan's face turn as red as a tomato.
"You stay away from me!"
Blushing with embarrassment, she angrily picked up her underwear and stuffed it into the bottom of the suitcase. Lin Muyan gritted her teeth and cursed her "considerate" best friend in her heart.
Due to the dropping of the underwear, the atmosphere between the two became extremely awkward. They avoided each other's gaze, one fidgeting on the sofa, the other tossing and turning on the bed. After a long time, Lin Muyan gradually calmed down, touched her no longer flushed cheek, and glanced at the man arching on the sofa.
Even the long sofa couldn't fully accommodate his tall figure, his long legs were squeezed inside the sofa, looking pitiful no matter how you looked at it.
Originally living in someone else's place, and making the host sleep in such an uncomfortable place, Lin Muyan felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn't bring herself to ask Xiao Chen to sleep on the bed.
As a result, they both tossed and turned, sharing the same room, lost in their own thoughts throughout the night.
At 4 am, Lin Muyan quietly got up from the bed, looking at her phone. She thought Xiao Chen was asleep, so she tiptoed off the bed, intending to wash her face. However, due to her intense focus on observing Xiao Chen's movements, she accidentally kicked the nearby single sofa, and the pain in her toe made her involuntarily grunt. "How is it? Does it hurt a lot?"
The light suddenly turned on, and Xiao Chen quickly walked over to squat down and look at her foot. Lin Muyan awkwardly hid her toes and took a step back.
"It's nothing, just accidentally kicked something. You, you're not sleeping, are you?"
Lin Muyan looked in astonishment at the slightly bruised eyes of the other person, mirroring her own, clearly both having had a sleepless night.
"Um, I can't sleep a little." Xiao Chen smiled and confirmed that she really had nothing to do before saying again, "Just leave the light on, do whatever you need to do, I won't disturb you."
After he finished speaking, he returned to the sofa, looking like a pitiful big dog.
Lin Muyan originally wanted to say something, but seeing his appearance, the words at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.
She silently walked to the bathroom, washed her face, and saw Xiao Chen playing with his phone, apparently connecting to a video. Lin Muyan could hear a faint dog barking from the other end of the video. When Xiao Chen saw Lin Muyan coming out, he remembered her fear of dogs, quickly closed the video chat, and looked like a child who had done something wrong. Despite Lin Muyan's shadow regarding dogs, she didn't find his appearance funny and paused for a moment before sitting down on the nearby sofa.
"You're recording your video, just through the screen, I'm not that scared."
Xiao Chen looked at her suspiciously for a while, as if to confirm whether she was lying to herself. Seeing her sincere face, he hesitated for a while and put away his phone. "Forget it, they should be going out in a while."
"Your two dogs are quite cute."
Lin Muyan Suddenly and abruptly, she spoke, "I... I was bitten by a dog when I was young, so I have a bit of a shadow when it comes to dogs."
She forced a bitter smile, "Just because I'm afraid of dogs, I usually don't go to the square. I'm afraid of seeing people walking their dogs. I know they mean me no harm, but I just can't accept it physically."
Perhaps it was the atmosphere, or perhaps it was just the short two days, this man really gave her a lot of security. Lin Muyan Long lashes drooped, covering the moistness in her eyes and the panic surging in her heart.
During the initial period, she was so afraid of dogs that even mentioning the word "dog" would terrify her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was for this reason," Xiao Chen apologized to her after a moment of shock. "I didn't know you were so scared, and I even said to you..."
"It's okay, ignorance is not a crime, and besides, my fear of dogs is my own psychological issue."
Lin Muyan smiled and let out a sigh, but the smile disappeared within a few seconds. At the same time, Xiao Chen also thought about the events of last night, saying, "Don't worry, I will make sure resort gives you an explanation." Upon hearing this, Lin Muyan chuckled, "What can a design apprentice like you do? Can you even restore the video? Forget it, the incident has already happened. There's no point in investigating now. It's better to take a rest and enjoy the brief holiday."
Xiao Chen heard this and looked deeply at her, his gaze passing over Lin Muyan's shoulder and landing on his wallet, where there was a USB drive he had copied the video to last night. It was still early, not yet time for breakfast. Neither of them felt sleepy, so they chatted for a while. After setting aside their grievances, it seemed as if they had returned to the ease of their previous conversations in the software.
"Nowadays, there are more and more people raising dogs. Your fear of dogs may have an impact on your life. In fact, it's because you haven't built up your psychological resilience. Dogs are not scary, really. As long as you work hard to overcome it, it's not difficult at all."
Xiao Chen encouraged Lin Muyan to overcome her fear, after all, if the fear of dogs cannot be overcome, it will be a lifelong disaster. No one can guarantee to what extent such fear will cause greater trouble in her future life.
"Let's not talk about these unhappy things. It's just past four thirty now, and we might as well go see the sunrise together. I remember there's a dedicated Observation Deck here."
Lin Muyan was puzzled by Xiao Chen's familiar attitude, "How did you know? Have you been here?"
"I saw it online," he replied.
Lin Muyan's sensitivity prompted him to quickly change the subject, "I've seen the sunrise in the mountains, but I haven't seen the sunrise at sea yet. Do you want to go together?"
"Okay. At the other end of the island, it was unrealistic to walk, so Xiao Chen rented a convertible car from the front desk. Worried that Xiao Chen might not have enough money, Lin Muyan voluntarily suggested splitting the cost."
Originally, Xiao Chen was unwilling, but he was forced into the role of an apprentice by Lin Muyan. She told him not to spend money recklessly just because his salary wasn't high. In order to maintain his image, he could only grit his teeth and endure, even pressing the throttle hard when driving.
Lin Muyan really enjoys the sea breeze, and Xiao Chen's driving speed happens to allow her to enjoy the freedom of the sea breeze without messing up her hair, causing her lip gloss to smear on her face.
When they arrived, there were quite a few people crowded near the observation deck, all trying to secure the best spot to view the sunset.
Lin Muyan took one look and decided to back out. She didn't want to be squeezed in and out so early in the morning. "Actually, I know another place. The location may not be as good as here, but there definitely won't be as many people," Xiao Chen suggested, seeing her reluctance. Lin Muyan didn't want to return empty-handed after going out, so she reluctantly agreed and followed Xiao Chen in the opposite direction towards a small artificial hill.
Because the mountain is not very high, the two quickly reached the mountaintop.
Lin Muyan had just found a place to sit down when a bright color appeared on the horizon, and the dark sun seemed to bring out a hint of warmth behind it like a black veil.
Xiao Chen glanced at Lin Muyan's face, and the cold gleam in his black eyes gradually warmed up with the brilliant sunlight.
He looked at Lin Muyan, gradually becoming excited by the brilliance of the sunrise, and his mood became increasingly high. Unconsciously, he leaned towards Lin Muyan, but he never had the courage to break his desire. Suddenly, a little boy ran over with a smile, making faces at the children behind him as he ran. Oops, he bumped into him. Lin Muyan was engrossed in watching when suddenly she was kissed by someone, and the slight warmth on her cheek made her look dazedly at Xiao Chen.
"I'm sorry, a child bumped into me."
Xiao Chen explained in a flustered manner, her ears turning red as if they were about to bleed. Despite being a head taller than Lin Muyan, she looked like a pitiful little puppy desperately trying to explain herself so that Lin Muyan wouldn't misunderstand.
"It's not like you did it on purpose."
Lin Muyan turned to him with a slight smile, then turned to look at the morning sunlight that had risen halfway into the sky.
Xiao Chen stared at her, slowly touching his own lips, as if the soft touch there had not yet left. His heart pounded wildly, as if the entire mountaintop could hear it.
As the crowd began to disperse after the end of the sunrise, Lin Muyan patted the dust off her bottom, leaned on her knees to stand up, and saw Xiao Chen still sitting up straight. She reached out and waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"Snap out of it, sunrise is over, let's go back."
She tugged at Xiao Chen's arm, and only then did Xiao Chen start to move, slowly making his way down the mountain.
Breakfast was served after seven o'clock. They were both feeling a bit hungry now, having woken up so early and gone back and forth on the island.
