She pricked up her ears to listen. Outside, Fei Shao seemed to think the balcony scenery was truly wonderful and had also decided to enjoy the moonlight there.
This was really awkward...
They would have to wait a while before turning on the lights... Otherwise, it would be completely obvious T.T...
But that wasn’t right either. They had just sat on the balcony for a while. How did it become like they were doing something wrong just because he had quietly slipped into the room without making a sound?
“Do you still want to hear me sing?” Mo Qingcheng wasn’t in a hurry to turn on the lights either. Lying on his side beside her, he asked softly.
“Shh…” This time, it was her who stopped him.
If they weren’t careful, someone might hear them, right?
Her attention was still focused on the balcony outside the glass door when Mo Qingcheng reached out and pulled her beneath him. Propping himself up with his arms, he lowered his head to continue what they had left unfinished earlier. Because it was a relatively wide single bed, the two of them could lie flat comfortably, but there really wasn’t enough space for such antics. It was just kissing, but he always liked to pull her on top of him, and before long, she would slip down again...
By the end, she was breathing lightly, dazed and a bit sleepy from his teasing.
After the overnight flight and the entire day’s itinerary, she honestly hadn’t closed her eyes to sleep.
The room was dark again, and although there was noisy music outside, along with Fei Shao’s occasional laughter and what seemed like other people returning... In any case, she truly fell sound asleep under his lack of action.
She suddenly woke up a little after six the next morning.
The room felt slightly cool, not from the air conditioning but from the sea breeze blowing in. She sat up and, through the gaps in the curtains that kept rising and falling, saw Top talent and Jue Mei sitting on the balcony, seemingly chatting while having breakfast.
Did she really sleep here all night?
( ⊙ o ⊙)…
What about Geng Xiaoxing…
She hurriedly climbed down from the bed, still wearing last night’s clothes, and quietly peeked out from the half-open balcony door to look around. Did it really seem like only the two of them were here?
“Awake?” Mo Qingcheng easily heard the movement but didn’t turn around.
“Mm, mm… I’m going back to my room to wash up…” Gu Sheng saw that the glass door to her room was also open and hurried inside, closing the door and swishing the curtains shut.
Geng Xiaoxing was lying on the bed, still hugging the blanket and sleeping soundly…
T.T…
She… was really too generous, wasn’t she? Sleeping in the same room with Jue Mei on the second day they met?
Compared to her, wasn’t she herself too…
Geng Xiaoxing rolled over, forced her eyes open, glanced at her, and immediately grumbled in complaint, “You, putting romance before friendship, you’ve killed me… I almost died of exhaustion…”
“You didn’t sleep all night?” Gu Sheng was even more surprised.
Jue Mei’s speed was truly astonishing…
“I didn’t sleep all night… I walked along the beach all night and only came back when it was almost dawn…” Although Geng Xiaoxing was so tired she felt like killing someone, she couldn’t help but complain, “Last night, when I wanted to come back to sleep, your Top talent called Jue Mei and said his wife was asleep, so he should find somewhere else to sleep… Where was he supposed to go? It was our first time meeting, I had to be a little reserved, right…”
So… they walked along the beach all night?
Jue Mei, you’re truly too much of a gentleman ( ⊙ o ⊙)…Sure enough, Jue Mei was no pushover—his retaliatory instincts were absolutely formidable... By noon, a group of them sat by the seaside, watching the strong winds and heavy rain while eating a seafood hotpot. After finishing his mango, Jue Mei put down the half-peel in his hand, yawned, and said, "Hey, Dou Bing, don’t you live alone?"
Dou Dou Dou Bing hummed in response, "What about it?"
"Living alone isn’t safe," Jue Mei said with a serious expression. "Why don’t you let Geng Xiaoxing stay with you? Two girls can take care of each other."
"Huh?" Dou Dou Dou Bing clearly hadn’t caught on yet. "Then what about Sheng Sheng?"
Everyone fell silent.
But in each of their minds, a vivid and tantalizing scene slowly began to take shape...
Dou Bing, biting into her half-eaten mango, finally understood. Yet after a moment, she felt something wasn’t quite right: "Jue Mei, are you and Xiaoxing close? Didn’t you just meet..." How strange, why would he specifically arrange where others sleep...
Everyone fell silent again.
_Where has our usually super tactful deputy team leader gone...
In the afternoon, the tour guide who was accustomed to intimidating people reappeared, full of energy as he introduced the island’s most distinctive activity—mountain karting. Gu Sheng finally understood why the men had chosen this place. The entire island was a tall mountain, with narrow winding roads circling it. Driving from the foot to the summit and back down... This kind of thrilling terrain truly wasn’t something every vacation island offered...
The men eagerly rubbed their hands together, while the women grew apprehensive.
This was mountain karting, entirely on bumpy mountain roads, with no regard for local vehicles or pedestrians...
Just looking up at the height of the mountain peak made her feel it was dangerous.
Although they had been warned beforehand not to wear skirts and were all in shorts to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions from the sea breeze, the scorching sun and racing through dense mountain forests... Fei Shao’s wife immediately changed her expression and insisted on staying behind.
Gu Sheng wasn’t too afraid, probably because she saw Mo Qingcheng looking like a seasoned driver, which dispelled her slight concerns. In the end, all the men except Fei Shao, who was threatened and intimidated by his wife into staying behind, got into their karts and lined up in a row. Because the speeds would be so high, everyone tied scarves around the back of their heads, covering half their faces.
Mo Qingcheng tied his scarf first, then took a pink one, folded it into a triangle, and carefully covered the lower half of her face, tying a tight knot at the back of her head.
She felt a bit stifled and tugged the scarf down slightly.
But she heard him laugh and stop her, "The speed will be high later, and wind and dust will fly everywhere." As he spoke, his voice was slightly muffled by the scarf, giving it a different quality than usual.
When all the men were seated in the driver’s seats and the girls sat beside them, Gu Sheng understood what that difference was. Gripping her seatbelt tightly, she instinctively glanced at the Top talent. With his face covered, only his eyes were visible, making him stand out far more than Jue Mei and the others...
Gu Sheng thought rather uncharitably: Having beautiful eyes really is too important T.T...Mo Qingcheng held the steering wheel like this, discussing the bet with Jue Mei and the others, his eyes sometimes squinting, sometimes glancing lightly, completely immersed in the game... Finally, he tapped the steering wheel with his index finger and laughed: "Alright, it's settled. Whoever is in the last car will sing 'Night Song of the Glorious Tang' in public during dinner tonight."
...
...
T.T... Is this really okay? Don’t you guys, a bunch of grown men, think this is too childish? Singing 'Night Song of the Glorious Tang' in a foreign land, at a candlelit dinner... is that really okay...
That’s a cheerful and romantic... ancient-style song from the glorious Tang Dynasty (⊙o⊙)...
"Mu Mu, you’re a police officer, please don’t lose." Dou Dou Dou Bing tugged at Mu Mu’s arm, pleading.
She really didn’t want to be so embarrassed...
Mu Mu finally couldn’t hold back and gave her a deep, meaningful look: "Police officers aren’t omnipotent..."
The tour guide sat in his own car, chuckling as he put on his sunglasses: "I say, you want a race? You young folks just love to show off. I come here every month and play this game every time. Just follow my car closely and don’t get lost..."
Before the tour guide could finish speaking.
The sound of engines revving violently echoed as all the cars shot forward.
It was indeed thrilling...
The mountain road was very narrow, with local electric bikes constantly passing by. Everyone trying to overtake had to seize every opportunity, squeezing through gaps and passing others during turns...
Gu Sheng covered the scarf on her face, feeling an inexplicable surge of excitement amid the thrill and danger.
Beside her was a fence as tall as a person, made of wire mesh. Looking out, she could see the blue sea and sky, with a very clear coastline.
The scorching sun, sea breeze, dust, and the constant acceleration and turns made her heart soar. She even turned around enthusiastically to look. Jue Mei and W were going all out, closely tailing the Top talent’s car, always looking for a chance to overtake, while the others had already disappeared from sight.
"We won," Mo Qingcheng suddenly said.
His voice was instantly scattered by the wind.
A turn, and the view suddenly opened up.
The car had reached the mountaintop, and looking out, the entire island was laid out before them.
He parked the car steadily and got out with Gu Sheng, casually pulling off the black scarf from his face. His hair was slightly damp with sweat, and in the sunlight, traces of sweat could be seen on his cheeks.
"Are you hot?" he asked her, his voice slightly hoarse and rough from the intense, high-stakes race.
"Not too bad."
He suddenly reached out, running his fingers through her hair and gently sliding them down, whispering, "You’re sweating a lot."
