The beach was alive with people dancing around the bonfire. Chen Ningxi strolled arm in arm with Cheng Qiaobei, the sea breeze lightly brushing away the day's heat and bringing a gentle, soothing coolness to their skin.
Cheng Qiaobei said, "I was a bit worried earlier."
Chen Ningxi brushed away her wind-tousled hair, "Worried about what?"
Cheng Qiaobei lowered his eyes, a helpless smile playing on his lips, his expression already providing an answer, but Chen Ningxi loved seeing his resigned look.
"Lin Hanrui can be so unfiltered, I was afraid he'd upset you."
"Oh... you mean the thing about the ex-girlfriend?" Chen Ningxi let go of him, pretending to be angry, quickening her pace. She was caught up to from behind, her hand gently placed back on his arm. "We agreed, no getting upset."
