Sitting by the sea, feeling the breeze, and drinking coconut..."
Gu Qingyi’s eyes lit up: "Have you been there?"
"Never been, I didn’t have money for travel before." Chen Yan smiled: "But I think I will go there in the future."
"Then you must go in the future!"
Gu Qingyi’s tone beca serious: "Chen Yan, you have to go... just to see those beautiful places in the world for ."
"...Okay!"
The two fell silent after that, quietly sitting on the beach, watching the slowly setting red sun over the sea.
·
After the sun set below the horizon, the sky gradually darkened. They left the beach.
Chen Yan went online to find a nearby hotel, drove there, and booked a standard room at the front desk.
Gu Qingyi didn’t have an ID card, so she couldn’t get a room by herself.
However, after Chen Yan booked the room, he took Gu Qingyi upstairs—the hotel’s managent in small places wasn’t that strict.
Back in the room, Gu Qingyi seed a bit uneasy, while Chen Yan tried to act casually: "You rest in the room first, take a bath or whatever, I’ll go out for a walk and get sothing for dinner."
After Chen Yan left, Gu Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked around the not-so-big room, and at the two beds inside.
Hmm... sharing a room isn’t that bad, right?
·
Chen Yan made so inquiries at the front desk, then walked along the street for a few minutes and found a seafood barbecue shop.
He bought grilled fish and shrimp, a dozen grilled oysters, and so grilled vegetables.
Carrying the big bag of food, he returned to the hotel.
Estimating the ti, Gu Qingyi should have finished bathing by now, but Chen Yan still knocked on the door a few tis before entering.
Gu Qingyi opened the door, and seeing that she had changed clothes, Chen Yan felt more at ease.
"Seafood barbecue, still hot." Chen Yan walked in and placed the food on the table, pulling out a few cans of Coke from another plastic bag.
Gu Qingyi’s rating for the grilled fish and shrimp was just so-so.
But the dozen garlic oysters made her eyes light up after the first bite.
As a result, most of the grilled oysters went into Gu Qingyi’s stomach, and Chen Yan only managed to grab two.
That night, the 22-year-old Chen Yan and the 21-year-old Gu Qingyi shared the room.
After turning off the lights, each lay on their own beds, and Chen Yan also felt a bit uneasy and awkward.
On the nearby bed, Gu Qingyi slept quietly, seemingly motionless after lying down and turning off the lights.
Chen Yan didn’t know why he was so nervous; he just felt... a bit tense.
The pillow was a bit hard, the quilt was uncomfortable, and the bed was a bit hard too.
Oh, and I didn’t take a shower tonight, I feel a bit itchy...
All kinds of chaotic thoughts made Chen Yan feel restless.
Besides Lu Sisi, Chen Yan had never shared a living space with a girl.
In a daze, Chen Yan could only lie on the bed and start practicing Primordial Qi, barely falling asleep in the second half of the night.
·
In the morning, Chen Yan sat up in bed and saw Gu Qingyi already sitting cross-legged on her bed.
Chen Yan looked at Gu Qingyi and laughed: "Uh, morning."
Gu Qingyi’s eyes showed obvious dark circles.
"Didn’t sleep well?"
"...It was okay." Gu Qingyi mumbled and got up to wash.
A mont later, Gu Qingyi, wiping her face with a towel, peeked out from the bathroom: "Where are we heading today?"
"Hmm, let’s go to Beijing. See the Forbidden City, the Great Wall... and try so local food, like Zhajiangmian, Lvdagun, Wandouhuang, and the like."
"Okay!" Gu Qingyi smiled.
