Gu Sisi felt as if fireworks were exploding in her mind. After the momentary blankness, she still remembered what Huo Cheng had just said.
Forget it. She wouldn't struggle anymore.
She softly replied, "Okay."
As their lips met again, Huo Cheng deepened the kiss. Under the star - filled sky, they finally confessed their feelings for each other.
...
It didn't take long for them to fall head - over - heels in love.
On the beach, there was sunlight, beautiful women, and delicious desserts. Gu Sisi was lying lazily on a lounge chair, squinting at the colorful sunlight through her fingers. She felt a bit dazed.
It had been snowing just yesterday, but today she was on a beach full of bikini - clad women.
It was like a dream, an absolute fantasy. She turned to her side and saw Huo Cheng walking towards her with a glass of juice in his hand.
His well - defined six - pack abs and his chiseled features made him stand out even on this beach full of foreigners.
Watching him decline the advances of the passing women, Gu Sisi turned over again.
Forget it. She didn't want to look anymore. It would just make her jealous.
"Here, mango juice." This was what Gu Sisi had ordered.
Unable to resist mango juice, Gu Sisi sat up, took the glass in one hand, and took a big gulp. She let out a sigh of relief. It was so refreshing.
Gu Sisi exclaimed.
"Aren't you having any?" Gu Sisi wondered why Huo Cheng had only brought one glass.
"Sure." Huo Cheng nodded. Then, to Gu Sisi's surprise, he leaned over and took a sip.
"Why are you stealing mine?" Gu Sisi snatched the glass away from his lips.
Huo Cheng had already taken a drink. He licked his lips and stared at Gu Sisi's mouth. "It's really sweet."
The smile on his face grew wider. Gu Sisi understood what he meant. How had this man become so... flirtatious?
She continued to drink her juice, watching as one gorgeous woman after another walked by. Her eyes were almost popping out.
"You must have come here on purpose, right?" Gu Sisi said with certainty.
Huo Cheng felt a pang of guilt. He hadn't expected her to be so perceptive and notice his intention.
He had to admit it. "Yes."
"I knew it." Gu Sisi pouted. "You men just like coming to places like this to look at beautiful women. Humph!"
He had said he loved her just yesterday, but today he had brought her here to look at other women. What a jerk!
"I'm not like that." Huo Cheng knew she had misunderstood him and was about to explain.
"Huo Cheng?" A hesitant voice called out.
Hearing Chinese on this foreign beach surprised Gu Sisi. She looked in the direction of the voice.
A fair - skinned beauty with long, slightly curly hair that fell loosely over her shoulders and chest was walking towards them with a foreign beauty beside her.
"It really is you! I thought I was seeing things." The girl covered her mouth in surprise.
"I didn't expect to run into you here. Are your parents here too?" Huo Cheng replied with a faint smile.
The girl quickly waved her hand. "I snuck out here by myself. What about you? On a business trip?"
Huo Cheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, there's some work - related stuff."
"I'm so lucky then! Big Brother Huo, you have to treat us to dinner." She said something to the foreign girl beside her, and they both clapped their hands excitedly.
Seeing that Huo Cheng hadn't agreed yet, the girl grabbed his arm and shook it. "Just one dinner. It's so rare that we've run into each other. Please, treat us!"
Even when she was acting coquettishly, this beautiful girl was still charming. Gu Sisi noticed that many people were looking in their direction. After all, such a handsome man and a beautiful woman were bound to attract attention.
Huo Cheng felt a bit helpless. He gently pulled her hand away to stop her from continuing.
"I'll treat you, but you have to go straight home after that."
"Big Brother Huo~"
"No deal if you don't agree."
"Okay then." The girl looked dejected. "Let's go eat quickly. I'm starving."
"Wait." Huo Cheng stopped them and waved to Gu Sisi. After a moment of hesitation, Gu Sisi walked over.
"Let me introduce you to each other."
Huo Cheng pointed at the girl. "This is a girl I've known since childhood. Her name is Wen Meiling."
Then he pointed at Gu Sisi. "This is Gu Sisi. She's my..."
"Okay, okay. I'm starving to death." Wen Meiling interrupted him impatiently.
Huo Cheng had no choice but to shake his head. He was used to this girl who had been a bit of a trouble - maker since childhood. He led the group into a restaurant.
"Big Brother Huo, how many more days are you staying?"
"No matter how many days, you should go home as soon as possible."
"You're so stingy." Wen Meiling mumbled under her breath. Before Huo Cheng could glare at her, she quickly asked, "If I have something to do here, can I stay a few more days?"
"Yes, but it depends on what it is, and your parents have to know."
Wen Meiling thought for a while, then nodded. "Okay. I really came here for a friend. Fine, I'll call them."
She was extremely efficient. After she left, there was hardly any conversation for a few minutes. It was quite quiet.
Soon, the clicking sound of her high - heels could be heard. She plopped down on the chair next to Huo Cheng.
"Big Brother Huo, I just talked to my parents and told them you're here. But there's something you have to help me with."
Meeting her fluttering big eyes, Huo Cheng raised his eyebrows. "What is it?"
"Help me rent a room next to yours."
"Reason?"
"My parents don't trust me. They said they'll only feel at ease if I'm next to you. Otherwise, they'll make me go home. Please, Big Brother Huo, help me." Wen Meiling's eyes were full of eagerness as they fluttered.
"Sure, but only for two days." Huo Cheng agreed quickly.
Wen Meiling looked disappointed. She shook her head. "Big Brother Huo, you've changed. You weren't like this before."
"..."
"Fine, I'll agree." Wen Meiling looked dejected. Then, as if she had thought of something, she asked, "My friend has something to do this afternoon. Can I hang out with you?"
"Go do your own thing."
"But I'm not familiar with this place." Wen Meiling clasped her hands together in prayer. "Big Brother Huo, it's only for two days anyway."
After careful consideration, Huo Cheng asked Gu Sisi, "Do you agree?"
Gu Sisi scratched her head. Could she really say no?
"Up to you." In Gu Sisi's opinion, this was the most satisfactory answer she could give.
"Exactly!" Wen Meiling stamped her foot. "You even have to ask someone else about such a small thing. I'm not asking to share a room with you."
"Okay, okay, Miss. Just make your parents feel at ease for two days. But after that, you have to go back right away." Huo Cheng finally gave in.
Wen Meiling saluted and said seriously, "Yes!"
After lunch, Wen Meiling said goodbye to her friend and clung to Huo Cheng.
"I need to talk to Big Brother Huo. Can you go back to the restaurant we just ate at and get my bag for me?" Wen Meiling turned to Gu Sisi and asked.
Gu Sisi thought for a moment, then nodded. "Sure."
She then walked back the way they had come.
"What do you want to say, Miss?" Huo Cheng asked Wen Meiling.
