"Are you upset with me for talking too much?" Bai Nuanxi's face fell, pouting in disappointment. How could you be so heartless? It's like I don't even matter to you anymore. Perhaps, I'm no longer your little darling.
Huo Muchen seemed slightly taken aback by her dramatic musings. "…How could I be? I'm just worried you might be hungry."
Bai Nuanxi paused, debating whether to cover her ears and shake her head obstinately, only to be knocked out by Huo Muchen and carried home, or simply to eat her meal obediently. Weighing her options, she decided the latter was wisest and ate compliantly.
After all, they still had plans to go to the beach together.
------
The beach here may not have the allure of a tourist attraction, but it's clean, with the local crowd making up most of the visitors. The water is crystal clear, sparsely populated, and to Bai Nuanxi, it's the perfect place for a romantic escape.
At least, that's what she believed.
