Gu Qingchen brought the car to a stop. His headlights, bright and clear, immediately illuminated the dark beach where Zhuo Yufeng was embracing Bei Ran.
Bei Ran was all wet in his arms.
He got out of the car and ran over quickly.
"What happened?" Gu Qingchen snatched her away with one hand, "What was Bei Ran doing?"
Zhuo Yufeng saw him coming and explained, "She wasn’t trying to commit suicide, she was just swimming..."
Gu Qingchen snorted and then looked at Zhuo Yufeng irritably before striding towards the yacht parked not too far away.
Zhuo Yufeng watched as his yacht disappeared into the night. He walked over to his car, took out a cigarette, and lit up...
When Zheng Tong woke up the next day, she found herself at home, wearing her favorite pajamas, and smelling the fragrance of a bath.
She couldn’t remember what happened the night before.
All she knew was that they were drinking, but she couldn’t recall who brought her home and bathed her.
However, waking up comfortably at home, Zheng Tong still felt extraordinarily happy.
She went downstairs and saw warm breakfast on the table. Without overthinking, she immediately picked it up and drank it.
Only after the warmth spread through her stomach did she realize that the breakfast was the same as it used to be.
Zheng Tong was shocked, but there was no sign of Duan Feixun.
Such a breakfast could only have been made by him.
Could it be that he was also here last night?
Zheng Tong stomped angrily; did he take advantage of her drunken state and bathe her last night?
But why was the breakfast warm, yet this man had already disappeared?
Zheng Tong had vomited everything in her stomach last night, and waking up, she felt extremely hungry!
Only after drinking and feeling satisfied did she think that the breakfast might have been made by him.
Although somewhat annoyed, Zheng Tong still sat down at the dining table.
Since he was not in her house anymore, she decided to replenish her strength first.
As Zheng Tong sat down at the table and was about to start eating the porridge, she heard her phone ringing.
Zheng Tong went upstairs to get her phone and saw that it was Zhuo Yufeng calling.
"Good morning, Zhuo sir," Zheng Tong joked, "Are you inviting me for morning tea?"
Zhuo Yufeng didn’t laugh: "Dr. Zheng, you’re up early. I hope I haven’t disturbed you!"
"I was about to have breakfast!" Zheng Tong laughed, "Why so serious, what happened?"
Zhuo Yufeng said, "Imagine two people need dental work, one a bad person and the other a good person. If the bad person has a higher chance of a successful fix, and the good person a lower chance, and the decision is in your hands, whom would you choose to work on first?"
Zheng Tong stopped laughing, "Zhuo sir, are you testing me with such a grave question so early in the morning?"
"It’s not a test. I just want to know if women and men view problems fundamentally differently," Zhuo Yufeng was still thinking about Bei Ran’s tear-streaked face from last night.
Zheng Tong nodded: "Of course, it’s different! Men are rational, women are emotional, women are more prone to emotionality and impulsiveness than men. If it came down to that moment, I would fix the good person’s teeth first..."
"I understand now..." Zhuo Yufeng prepared to hang up: "Thank you..."
"No need to be polite!" Zheng Tong replied, "You’ve helped me out too!"
Early in the morning, the sea was hazy with mist, a thin fog floating over the surface, making the water particularly cool and refreshing. The sunrise on the horizon resembled a red fiery ball.
In the morning, it was incredibly quiet here.
There was none of the hustle and bustle of cars, the noise of crowds, the pollution of the city, the skyscrapers, the deceit and trickery, or the life-and-death rescues.
Everything was as tranquil as if it were the beginning of the world.
When Bei Ran woke up, this was the scene she saw.
Looking around, she realized she was on the sea, on a yacht.
Through the window, she saw a man standing on the yacht.
He was dressed in a pure white casual outfit, standing under the early morning blue sky.
Although it was just his back, it gave Bei Ran a particularly comforting feeling.
She knew she was with Gu Qingchen.
As for how he and she got there, she really couldn’t remember a thing.
Bei Ran sat up, and the thin blanket slid off her body. Only then did she notice that she wasn’t wearing anything, smooth as a newborn baby.
