No one could imagine that soone would dare to flirt with an ice-cold person like Xia Ye.
But since they are siblings, it’s actually not a big deal.
However, knowing Xia Ye, he probably wouldn’t be too happy.
But suddenly, Xia Ye pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
He was really giving Lu Yinxing so face.
Lu Yinxing quickly turned around, "See, this is what a brother should be like."
Everyone was stunned.
The reason was that the icy figure actually smiled.
Although it was a forced smile, no one expected it to be so good-looking.
At school, he was said to look like a prince walking out of a comic book.
Unprecedented, unrivaled.
Indeed, his reputation was well-deserved.
Lin Zhi also noticed the smile on Xia Ye’s face nearby.
It’s been so long.
It seed she had never seen Xia Ye smile before.
The inexplicable tacit understanding and intimacy between them made her feel like a myriad of ants nibbling at her heart.
Wu Wei was speechless.
But it didn’t an he reconciled with Wu ngng.
Lu Yinxing also knew things weren’t that simple.
Because she had no idea what caused the conflict between the two of them.
As they journeyed forward,
by evening, they finally arrived at Devil’s Bay.
When everyone saw the vast beach, they were all very excited.
Is this the legendary Devil’s Bay?
The scenery here is breathtakingly beautiful.
Crystal clear water and enchanting sand.
Every scene looked like sothing out of a movie.
The fine sand beneath their feet felt like white salt.
As the sun set, the sky was dyed the color of maple leaves.
The sea breeze carried a faint salty scent.
After a whole day on the road, everyone was exhausted.
But seeing such incredible scenery made it all worthwhile in an instant.
Mai Xiaoqi said, "Let’s spend the night on the beach; there’s a Leonid teor shower around three in the morning."
Their ultimate goal was actually to see the teor shower.
Girls at this age believed that making a wish upon a shooting star would make it co true.
Boys largely scoffed at such romantic fantasies from the girls.
Their true purpose was experiencing the adventure.
Nevertheless, the scenery here managed to captivate everyone.
The tents were set up on the beach.
But because Lin Zhi and Guo Kaiti’s luggage was lost earlier,
their food ran out early.
Starting today, they had to find their own food.
Fortunately, this place was rich in resources.
They didn’t walk far before finding many shells on the beach.
Wen Quan lifted a stone and discovered several green crabs beneath it.
Everyone was thrilled.
Plus, their stomachs were growling with hunger.
They were tired of eating dry rations these past days.
Now, with so much seafood suddenly appearing,
Zhou Ying said, "Let’s have a seafood BBQ tonight."
At the ntion of a seafood feast, everyone was elated.
Last night, everyone had already gained experience foraging for food individually.
Today would be even better.
Today was considered a free action day.
As dusk approached,
two bonfires were set up on the beach.
Lu Yinxing was also scavenging on the beach.
Her haul was impressive.
She found many scallops, crabs, and even one feisty octopus.
anwhile, Xia Ye stayed by the campfire on the beach, not joining the others.
Because he was still running a fever.
To punish Yao Xiaoqiang, he also stayed behind to look after Xia Ye.
Yao Xiaoqiang constantly observed this person in front of him.
Though not fond of talking, his aura was very powerful.
The closer you got, the more you could feel it.
So people are just like that, naturally regal.
Every move exuding a noble air of aloofness.
Soon, everyone gathered around.
Bringing with them all sorts of seafood.
Wu Wei even caught a fish from the sea.
Soon, everyone began grilling the seafood.
Even though there were no seasoning options here,
the food grilled over the fruitwood campfire retained its natural flavor.
Plus, everyone was starving.
It felt like the most delicious food in the world.
The atmosphere today seed much better than yesterday.
Everyone chatted while eating seafood.
Light-hearted banter.
Lu Yinxing looked at everyone under the candlelight, feeling warm inside.
Feeling satisfied, Lu Yinxing lay down on the spot.
The sand was very soft.
Having soaked up the ample sunshine during the day, it still retained so warmth.
Lying on it felt like lying on soft, warm marshmallows.
At this ti, the others followed Lu Yinxing’s lead and lay down.
They still ford a large circle.
Guo Kaiti pointed at the sky and exclaid, "Look, such beautiful stars."
Indeed, there were countless stars here.
The stars dotted the sky like scattered silver pieces, twinkling brightly.
Under such a vast starlit sky, they suddenly felt so small.
Lu Yinxing suddenly thought of many things.
Lu Yinxing rembered when she was very young.
Her biological father, Lu Haotian, once said to her.
He said even if he wasn’t by her side, he would turn into the brightest star in the sky.
That would be his eyes, always watching over her and accompanying her.
Lu Haotian passed away when she was five.
At that ti, Lu Yinxing firmly believed those words.
Whenever she missed dad, she would look up at the stars in the sky.
But as she grew up,
Lu Yinxing realized it was just a beautiful fairy tale.
When people die, they don’t turn into countless stars in the sky.
Dad would never be watching over her.
As the years passed,
even the face in her mory seed to blur bit by bit.
But in Lu Yinxing’s drawer, a faded photograph was still hidden away.
A picture of her biological parents together.
It was the only one.
Her biological parents’ love was a tragedy.
Lu Yinxing wasn’t entirely sure about it.
She only knew they loved and tornted each other, and in the end, her mother caused her father’s death, and eventually, her mother was buried under an island that sank into the ocean.
Thinking about past events made Lu Yinxing a bit sad.
Everyone persisted on the beach until midnight.
So people finally couldn’t hold on and planned to sleep in the tents first.
After all, they’ve been on the road for days.
Everyone was utterly exhausted.
So they all agreed to leave one person on watch.
Then others would go to sleep.
When the teor shower appeared.
That person would wake everyone up.
Eventually, Wu Wei volunteered to keep watch.
Everyone could tell Wu Wei wasn’t in a great mood today.
He seed forlorn and irritable.
No one said anything.
Letting him think it over alone in such a night was probably a good idea.
So the others went to sleep in the tents.
Lu Yinxing barely slept at all last night.
Already exhausted beyond asure.
So not long after lying down in the tent, I fell asleep.
Wu Wei sat alone by the campfire.
Wu ngng looked at Wu Wei’s back, pondered for a while, and finally walked towards him.
In the end, Wu ngng silently sat down next to Wu Wei.
Wu ngng didn’t sit very close.
There was a half-ter distance between them.
Wu Wei glanced at her, speaking irritably, "Why are you here? I don’t want your company."
Wu ngng pushed her glasses up her nose, her voice small, "I’m not here to keep you company, I just can’t sleep."
Wu Wei beca even angrier upon hearing this.
Since last night’s ga, he’d been holding a grudge in his heart.
As ti passed, that grudge inflad more and more.
Her first kiss was gone.
Just thinking about it, Wu Wei’s heart felt gnawed by countless venomous insects.
Yet no matter how he asked, he couldn’t dig out the na of that rascal.
If he found out, he’d definitely want to break the guy’s arms and legs!
Wu Wei really felt like he was about to explode with rage.
He didn’t even want to see Wu ngng.
Standing up, he kicked the campfire and prepared to leave.
"Wu Wei!"
Wu ngng suddenly stopped him with a call.
Originally, Wu Wei didn’t want to respond at all.
But his feet felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move.
Wu ngng said, "Why are you so angry? I don’t know what you’re angry about."
Wu Wei turned around, unable to suppress his furious deanor.
Wu Wei said, "You don’t know what I’m angry about? I’m angry because you didn’t respect yourself. Tell , who is the guy who took your first kiss? I won’t spare him."
Wu ngng’s gaze landed on Wu Wei’s face.
Their eyes t.
Actually, Wu ngng’s eyes are quite beautiful.
It’s just that she always wears thick, large glasses.
But from a close distance, her eyes really look like dazzling black gems.
Making one’s heart beat faster.
Wu Wei only felt like his heart was struck heavily once more.
At this mont, Wu ngng suddenly said, "Wasn’t that person you?"
With one sentence, the surrounding air instantly froze.
Wu Wei was stunned.
Looking at Wu ngng’s calm face.
He felt like he was struck by lightning.
His blood seed to freeze in an instant, completely immobilizing him.
His mind went blank, unable to react at all.
Wu ngng’s words hovered in his mind like a spell.
How could she know?
He thought she didn’t know at all, would never know in her lifeti.
Wasn’t she asleep back then?
He had just secretly kissed her.
So when they played truth or dare back then and soone asked this question.
He felt secretly pleased.
As long as Wu ngng said she hadn’t yet.
It ant her first kiss was his.
But now, Wu ngng suddenly said such a thing.
What did this an?
This ant that at that ti, she wasn’t actually asleep.
And the fact he’d stolen a kiss had been discovered.
Wu Wei couldn’t think, couldn’t speak.
It was as if his eyes were undergoing a storm.
Who knows how long passed.
Wu Wei finally, dazedly, spoke, "You... actually knew?"
Wu ngng averted her gaze from Wu Wei’s face.
The clear gaze once more hid behind the thick lenses.
From Wu Wei’s angle, her expression was unreadable.
But it was clear that her face was as red as blood.
However, precisely because of this, she looked vibrant and passionate like a blooming rose.
Wu Wei had hardly ever seen Wu ngng like this.
Only felt like the area around his chest was malfunctioning.
His heart pounded as if it would leap out of his mouth.
Wu Wei turned and hurriedly left.
The two cald down for quite so ti.
Then Wu Wei took the initiative to walk towards Wu ngng.
Wu ngng sat on the beach.
Holding her knees.
Curling herself there.
Like a little cat.
Wu Wei suddenly thought of the first ti he saw her.
Actually, the first ti he saw Wu ngng wasn’t the day his dad brought her ho.
It was when he was very young.
Wu Wei clearly rembered that ti, he was nine years old.
His dad wanted him to train, so during sumr vacation, took him to a small town to train.
Back then, his dad often took him to an auntie’s house for als.
Saying she was a friend of his dad’s.
At that ti, he naturally wouldn’t think of anything else.
Just rembered the woman called Auntie Rong cooked well and had a gentle smile.
Auntie Rong also had a daughter, the sa age as him.
The first ti he saw her, she had just returned from the rice paddies.
She had her sleeves and pant legs rolled up, with bare little feet.
But she held a small bamboo basket.
Inside were small loaches.
That person was Wu ngng.
His first impression of her was like that of a small loach.
She seed like she’d crawled out of the mud, like a slippery little loach.
But her eyes were exceptionally dark and bright.
Like jewels sparkling in the night sky.
At that ti, Wu Wei wondered how there could be such beautiful eyes in the world.
Wu ngng’s personality was vastly different from now.
She was very lively.
Seeming capable of anything, heaven and earth.
Wu Wei lived in that small village for a month.
He learned many things back then, including climbing trees and catching fish.
It was then that this girl made a deep impression on his heart.
He rembered when he left.
They took a photo together.
The two hugged shoulders.
Wu ngng smiled happily.
But he wore a solemn face.
His unhappiness stemd from knowing he had to leave.
Not knowing when they would et again.
His dad said they would visit every sumr.
But they never did.
He never saw that adorable girl nad ngng again.
He even sought out himself.
But they said her family had moved and nobody knew where.
This had always been a regret in his short life.
Years passed, and he could vividly recall that ti in his dreams.
At ho, he had strict family etiquette.
Even eating had many rituals.
That was the one breath of freedom in his childhood.
Making him reminisce.
But, just when he couldn’t get her out of his mind, one day, the girl reappeared.
Brought ho by his father.
Said she was his half-sister.
And his mother said, for years, his father had been cheating with his first love, the gentle Auntie Rong.
All of this was hard for him to accept.
When he saw Wu ngng again at eighteen, after ten years.
Her appearance had changed a lot, graceful and poised, no longer that muddy little loach.
But that pair of eyes, he always recognized.
So, at the ti, he imdiately noticed.
