"This is Lover's Island! It's really as beautiful as in the photos!"
Qiu Xi, who had gotten up early to rush over, was truly excited upon seeing the scenery. This was something she had longed for, and now it was finally happening!
Setting aside the beautiful scenery to admire the beauty, Nan Hua's gaze was fixed on Qiu Xi. He said, "Mmm, but it's a bit late today. We'll stay overnight near here and I'll bring you to see the seaside sunrise tomorrow."
"Okay!"
...
Considering the weather, Nan Hua didn't dare let Qiu Xi stay in the water for too long. So after putting on their shoes, they began to wander along the beach.
"Nan Hua! There's a watchtower over there, let's go take a look~"
"Alright."
By the time the two of them finally walked up, Qiu Xi, in a rare moment of sentimentality, sighed, "Looking at the sea from here truly gives one a sense of being both close and far away..."
Nan Hua hugged the person in his arms, smiling as he looked ahead. He uncharacteristically didn't reply to the girl's words.
Because compared to this feeling described in words, he cherished the present moment even more.
Qiu Xi didn't notice and continued, "Actually, it would be quite nice to just sit here and wait for dawn."
"Then let's forget it, I'm too reluctant."
Once night fell by the sea, the temperature would be unbearable for a young girl like her.
"I was just saying it casually."
Although the sea breeze felt quite comfortable now, spending the entire night in it was still out of the question.
Romance shouldn't be pursued at the cost of one's life!
"Okay."
"But although staying overnight is impossible, we can stay to watch the starry sky over the sea."
After all, he had spent time studying guides for this trip.
If this were to get out, he would probably be laughed to death by those few people.
"Okay~"
"The night sky over the sea must be beautiful. I wonder if there are really many twinkling little stars, like the Milky Way..."
"..."
For almost the entire day, the two of them spent their time by the sea like this.
Night-
"Nan Hua, are you done? You're being so mysterious!"
Nan Hua had covered her eyes earlier, saying he had a surprise for her. It had been half the day, and she still didn't feel anything happening.
"Almost, just a moment!"
Finishing up the last few items in his hands, Nan Hua quickly replied.
"Mmm, done!"
After a while, Nan Hua removed the silk scarf covering Qiu Xi's eyes.
"Look."
"Wow~"
Lanterns floated up into the sky, their warm candlelight, despite the wind, felt as if it warmed all four seasons in that instant.
"Do you like it?"
"I love it..."
"How are you so good at this?"
"Because I love you!"
...
The night sea breeze carried the lovers' words further and further, blowing towards the boundless horizon, without asking for a return.
...
The next day, early morning-
After watching the sunset, Qiu Xi endured her sleepiness for the sake of the sunrise and got up.
After tidying up, the two hurried to the seaside, chose a rocky outcrop that the waves couldn't reach, and began to wait for the sunrise.
Time slowly passed, and the sea's surface was finally draped with its first layer of golden gauze.
"Mmm~"
Qiu Xi, engrossed in watching, was suddenly attacked.
"Click!"
A photograph was quietly created.
"Nan Hua! You're disturbing my view!"
"Mmm, it's better now."
"..."
Truly, such an understanding person was rare, and also quite annoying.
If you tell him to leave, wouldn't he lose face by leaving so easily!
Little did Qiu Xi know then, in Nan Hua's eyes, she was the eternal scenery!
After watching the sunrise, Qiu Xi pulled Nan Hua back to the hotel, planning to catch up on sleep before continuing their journey.
...
Chongxi City, Huake First Hospital-
"If I had known you'd be discharged so soon, I would have rushed back on the last day of the holiday."
Song Daiyao complained regretfully while packing her things.
She hadn't expected that halfway through the holiday, this person would be able to be discharged. If she had known, she would have inquired more thoroughly with the doctor.
"..."
She was the one who had asked him to stay for observation earlier, and now she was saying he was discharged too early... It was difficult!
Looking at the grumbling person, Zhao Huasheng didn't dare to speak and silently complained in his heart.
It was all Nan Hua's fault for being so inconsiderate, posting on social media, and even bringing Qiu Xi along. Their posts with captions like "Witnessed the sunset, we collided with romance," accompanied by pictures of the seaside starry sky and sky lanterns.
Then another post with something like "Embracing, kissing you at sunrise," also with a picture...
You say he looked forced to do it, but he was clearly enjoying himself every day. Falling in love had practically remade him.
But then again, when he turned to face his brothers, he was still his arrogant self, unchanged!
He had even muted Nan Hua for these holidays, planning to unblock him after the break ended.
But who knew he could block this person but not that one? Although he couldn't see Nan Hua's updates, there was still Qiu Xi!
He had eaten so much dog food that he had saved on his meal expenses!
Fortunately, these two were considerate and stopped posting after the initial burst, otherwise, he might have been nagged to death.
"Yao Yao, after we finish the discharge procedures, let's go out to eat something."
Fortunately, changing the subject was his forte, especially since this topic change was very "thoughtful."
"Really? Then what should we eat?"
As expected, a foodie could never escape their nature. In an instant, she forgot what she was just grumbling about.
Song Daiyao was truly excited, especially since she had been staying in the hospital with Zhao Huasheng for the past few days, eating only the "nourishing restorative meals" made by her mother. Her taste buds had become quite bland.
The moment she heard about going out to eat, her mouth began to water.
"Eat whatever you want!"
Hearing Zhao Huasheng's words, she became even happier!
Then she could do whatever she wanted and eat a lot of different things!
"Okay!"
Saying this, she sped up her packing. It wasn't long before she was done, and she immediately started urging Zhao Huasheng.
"I'm done, you go handle the procedures quickly!"
"Okay, don't rush, don't rush, it's just a moment's work."
"Hurry, hurry!"
She was still waiting!
...
"Zhao Huasheng, Xiao Xi and the others will be back tomorrow. Shall we all have a meal together to celebrate your safe discharge?"
As soon as they walked out of the hospital, Song Daiyao remembered the matter she had been contemplating. She decided to ask about it now, otherwise, she might forget it after today.
"Sure." He had something he wanted to ask her roommates for help with anyway.
"Then I'll discuss it with the three of them when I get back."
"Mmm, sure."
"Alright, everything's settled, let's go eat something delicious!"
Indeed, only by eating with a clear mind and no distractions could one be the happiest and most satisfied!
"Okay! Let's go!"
He had been in the hospital for about a week and greatly missed the savory aroma of the outside world!
