Breaking rules for the first time!

Crash...

The waves greeted her as she reached the shore, the cool sand welcoming her feet.

She exhaled deeply, a wave of relief washing over her as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

Her heart pounded with anxious energy.

'This is the first time I've broken the rules,' she thought, a mixture of excitement and fear bubbling inside her. Known for her perfect grades and good-girl attitude, Wang Mei had never defied her responsibilities before.

Her legs trembled slightly, the night air cool against her skin.

She slipped off her heels, sinking her slender toes into the cold, smooth sand.

A smile of pure delight crossed her face as the earlier tension melted away.

What if Mom finds out?

The thought briefly crossed her mind, but she pushed it aside, feeling the soothing sensation of the sand between her toes.
