Back in the room, no one spoke; the only sound was the tearing of packaging bags.
Wen Feiran ate three small bread rolls in one go, then let out a long breath, feeling a slight warmth in her body, as if a warm current had washed away all her fatigue and discomfort.
Zou Yuxing leaned back in his chair, let out a comfortable sigh, and turned to ask, "What are we having for lunch?"
"..." You just finished eating breakfast.
Wen Feiran glanced at the time and said helplessly, "We probably collected about three buckets of food together, not even enough for one meal."
Zou Yuxing was already dreaming, his mouth almost watering. "I want a plate of spicy, a plate of savory, and garlic vermicelli!"
The bread rolls were sweet, Wen Feiran always felt something was missing in her mouth. Hearing Zou Yuxing say that, she couldn't help but lick her lips.
Zou Yuxing, unable to sit still, was busy with something after finishing his meal. An hour later, having almost digested his food, he rushed into the kitchen. After working for a long time, he poked his head out from the doorway and asked, "Feiran, how are you going to eat the starfish you picked up?"
!!!
Wen Feiran, who was originally curled up on the sofa like a lazy cat, enjoying the peaceful moment, immediately bristled upon hearing this, jumped up, and rushed to the kitchen to rescue his starfish.
"How much meat is in a starfish? You can't eat it!" Wen Feiran held the starfish in her hands, hid it behind her back, and stared at Zou Yuxing with wide, wary eyes.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't." Zou Yuxing shrugged. "I just wanted to ask you a question."
Wen Feiran breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't take the starfish out. He slipped out through the crack in the door.
In an attempt to avoid Zou Yuxing, he ran outside in one breath, only to unexpectedly bump into Gu Suian was reading a book under the eaves.
Gu Suian, dressed in a linen robe and casual attire, had his sharp features softened by the bright sunlight, a scene that lingered in Wen Feiran's mind.
Thank you, this is very good for his eyes.
Wen Feiran endured for half a minute, unwilling to spoil such a beautiful scene, until Gu Suian cast a questioning glance at him, at which point he finally spoke, "Teacher Gu, are you reading a book?"
Questions that lack substance are pure nonsense.
Gu Suian's attitude was very gentle. Her gaze fell on his face, then slowly moved down, and she asked, "What are you doing with that starfish?"
Recalling the scene just now, Wen Feiran said with lingering fear, "Yuxing was going to eat my starfish! I was a step too late, and there wasn't enough time to save it!"
Perhaps it was Gu Suian who gave him a lot of confidence, Wen Feiran was always different in front of him. He didn't need to deliberately maintain social distance and couldn't help but get closer.
Wen Feiran sat cross-legged next to him, her mouth never stopping as she talked to him about starfish.
Gu Suian didn't interrupt, waiting for Wen Feiran to vent his anger before coaxing him, "Then we'll take good care of him."
He found it himself, Wen Feiran, with his own biased perspective, said, "Look, this starfish is even fatter than it appears in the photos, kind of cute."
"It's very cute."
After receiving Gu Suian's affirmation, Wen Feiran was overjoyed and said without hesitation, "It's yours."
Gu Suian was taken aback. "You gave it to me? Didn't you like it?"
Wen Feiran blinked.
He wanted to share everything he liked with Gu Suian, and he also wanted to leave the things he considered the best for Gu Suian.
Wen Feiran's eyes sparkled, and without him saying a word, Gu Suian understood his feelings in a second.
Gu Suian was silent for a few seconds, his expression becoming inscrutable. "Feiran, there's something I want to tell you."
Wen Feiran keenly sensed a change in Gu Suian's aura and suddenly had a premonition that what he was about to say was very important. She subconsciously softened her breathing. "What is it?"
Gu Suian gazed intently at him, and time seemed to stand still.
"I'll tell you after it's over." Gu Suian suddenly changed the subject, her gaze falling on the book.
Wen Feiran noticed that Gu Suian was avoiding something, frowned slightly, but did not press the matter.
During their beachcombing trip, they ate two whole meals together. Wen Feiran felt like he was thoroughly marinated, exuding the aroma of seafood from the inside out.
Here, time seemed to slow down, and he unconsciously distanced himself from electronic devices and went to bed early.
As night deepened, Wen Feiran woke up in the middle of the night, too sleepy to keep her eyes open, and went to the toilet under the moonlight.
When he came out of the bathroom, he suddenly saw that the door to the room opposite was open. It was pitch black inside, and he could only make out the general outline.
He paused, frowning in confusion.
This door was just closed. Whose room is this?
The moment Wen Feiran thought of Chu Chengping's name, she heard a rustling sound in the silence.
He turned his head in confusion and saw a black figure loitering in the restaurant.
This could be considered a ghost story...
Wen Feiran subconsciously took a step back, her pupils constricted, and she almost cried out.
"Chu Chengping, what are you doing?!" Wen Feiran asked in a low voice.
Hearing his voice, Chu Chengping walked over. In the darkness, he couldn't see Chu Chengping's expression.
"Can I eat this?"
Bathed in moonlight, Wen Feiran noticed that he was holding bread.
"Of course you can," Wen Feiran said with a helpless expression. "You don't need to ask me about this kind of thing."
"But I have no money." Chu Chengping's voice lowered a few decibels. He always had a cold tone, but Wen Feiran could hear a hint of cowardice and grievance in it.
