Chapter Two: First Encounter

I. Arrival at Peach Blossom Island

The moment Guo Jing set foot on Peach Blossom Island, it was as if he had entered a fantastical world. The island was a riot of colors with blossoms in full bloom, shaded by lush green trees, and the air was filled with a gentle floral fragrance that was invigorating. Huang Yaoshi's Peach Blossom Island was not only picturesque but also exuded a mysterious and unique charm.

Huang Rong was the most lively and spirited presence on the island. She was clever, quick-witted, and full of mischief, as if she were the island's own sprite. She led Guo Jing through every corner of the island, introducing him to the exotic flowers and rare animals. Guo Jing was fascinated by everything he saw, following Huang Rong's steps as if he had entered a paradise he had never seen before.

However, on this bustling Peach Blossom Island, there was another girl whose personality was completely different from Huang Rong—Huang Ying. Huang Ying was another daughter of Huang Yaoshi. She was introverted and not very talkative, always preferring to stay alone in a corner. Guo Jing did not notice her presence when he first arrived on the island. Huang Ying often painted and played the guqin by herself, immersing herself in her own world and enjoying the tranquility and solitude.

II. Getting Acquainted

As time passed, Guo Jing gradually became familiar with everything on Peach Blossom Island. He began to notice Huang Ying's presence. Her paintings were full of vitality and poetry, each one seeming to tell a story. Her guqin playing was even more melodious, like a mountain spring or a breeze through the forest, bringing a sense of peace to the soul. Guo Jing was often drawn to her music, sitting quietly to listen and feeling the deep spiritual touch.

Huang Ying did not pay much attention to Guo Jing's arrival. She continued with her own lifestyle, painting in the morning sun and playing the guqin in the evening breeze. Guo Jing would sit quietly by her side, occasionally chatting with her. Although Huang Ying was not very talkative, her eyes revealed a gentleness and kindness that made Guo Jing feel very close to her.

However, Huang Rong noticed Guo Jing's attention to Huang Ying. She felt somewhat displeased and began to play pranks on Huang Ying. At first, Huang Rong's pranks were minor, such as hiding Huang Ying's painting brushes or tampering with her guqin strings. But as time went on, Huang Rong's pranks became more and more outrageous, even starting to speak ill of Huang Ying in front of Guo Jing, trying to make him dislike Huang Ying.

Guo Jing was somewhat puzzled, but he was not influenced by Huang Rong's words. He continued to respect and care for Huang Ying. However, Huang Ying felt very upset because of Huang Rong's pranks. Her paintings no longer had the same vitality, and her guqin playing lost its former melodiousness. Guo Jing saw this and felt very distressed. He decided to resolve the conflict between the two sisters.

III. Conflict

One day, Huang Rong spoke ill of Huang Ying in front of Guo Jing again. She exaggerated Huang Ying's shortcomings, trying to make Guo Jing misunderstand her. Although Guo Jing did not fully believe Huang Rong's words, he was still somewhat shaken. He went to find Huang Ying to get to the truth.

When Huang Ying saw Guo Jing coming to her, she felt a bit nervous. She did not know what Guo Jing would ask, and just listened quietly. Guo Jing told Huang Ying what Huang Rong had said and asked if it was true. After hearing this, a flash of sadness crossed Huang Ying's eyes. She did not answer Guo Jing's question, but just lowered her head quietly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing Huang Ying's reaction, Guo Jing felt very guilty. He realized that he might have been misled by Huang Rong. He quickly comforted Huang Ying, telling her that he just wanted to know the truth and had no other intentions. Huang Ying looked up at Guo Jing, her eyes filled with gratitude. She said softly, "Brother Guo, I know that Rong is just playing tricks on me, but I won't blame her. She just doesn't want me to get close to you because she likes you."

Hearing Huang Ying's words, Guo Jing was taken aback. He didn't expect her to be so kind and understanding. He quickly said, "Huang Ying, don't worry. I will talk to Rong. You two are sisters and shouldn't play tricks on each other like this."

However, Huang Rong did not want Guo Jing and Huang Ying to reconcile. Seeing Guo Jing go to Huang Ying, she became even more displeased. She decided to give Huang Ying another warning. That night, Huang Rong secretly tore up all of Huang Ying's paintings. When Huang Ying discovered that her paintings, which she had spent several days working on, were destroyed, she was heartbroken.

After learning about this, Guo Jing was furious. He confronted Huang Rong, demanding to know why she had done such a thing. Huang Rong, seeing Guo Jing's angry expression, felt a bit scared, but she still tried to justify herself by saying, "Guo Jing, I just don't want you to be deceived by Huang Ying. She is a deceitful person. Don't be fooled by her appearance."

Hearing Huang Rong's words, Guo Jing became even angrier. He shouted, "Huang Rong, stop talking nonsense! Huang Ying is a kind person. She is not deceitful. What you did only made her sad."

Seeing Guo Jing so protective of Huang Ying, Huang Rong felt even more upset. She ran out of the room, leaving Guo Jing standing there alone. Guo Jing sighed, knowing that he had to find a way to resolve the conflict between the two sisters.

IV. Resolution

Guo Jing found Huang Ying, seeing her sitting there, crying quietly. He walked over to her and said softly, "Huang Ying, don't cry. I will talk to Rong. She won't treat you like this anymore."

Huang Ying looked up at Guo Jing, a glimmer of gratitude in her eyes. She said softly, "Brother Guo, thank you. I know it's hard for you, but you don't have to worry about me. I will deal with it myself."

Guo Jing shook his head and said, "Huang Ying, you are too kind. You can't always be so tolerant. You need to learn to protect yourself as well."

Huang Ying smiled and said, "Brother Guo, I know. But I don't want you two to have conflicts because of me. Don't worry, I will handle it."

Seeing Huang Ying's strength and kindness, Guo Jing was deeply moved. He decided to help her. He found Huang Rong, who was sitting there, crying quietly. Guo Jing walked over to her and said softly, "Rong, I know you are upset, but you can't treat Huang Ying like this. She is your sister. You should help each other, not hurt each other."

Huang Rong looked up at Guo Jing, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes. She said, "Guo Jing, I know I was wrong. But I really don't want you to leave me. I like you, and I don't want you to be taken away by Huang Ying."

Hearing Huang Rong's words, Guo Jing was touched. He said softly, "Rong, I know you like me, but I have my own feelings too. I like Huang Ying. She is a kind and gentle girl. I hope you two can reconcile and stop hurting each other."

Huang Rong felt a bit sad after hearing Guo Jing's words. But she also knew he was right. She nodded and said, "Guo Jing, I understand. I will reconcile with my sister."

Seeing Huang Rong's attitude, Guo Jing felt relieved. He said, "Rong, you are a kind girl. I believe you can do it."

Huang Rong nodded and said, "Guo Jing, I will try. I will reconcile with my sister and won't play tricks on her anymore."

Seeing Huang Rong's attitude, Guo Jing felt relieved. He knew that as long as they could understand and tolerate each other, they could definitely resolve the conflict.

A few days later, Huang Rong found Huang Ying and apologized to her. Huang Ying was very touched by Huang Rong's attitude. She said, "Rong, I know you are upset, but I hope we can reconcile. We are sisters and should help each other, not hurt each other."

Huang Rong was also very touched by Huang Ying's words. She said, "Sister, I know I was wrong. I will try to get rid of my bad habits and won't play tricks on you anymore."

Seeing Huang Rong's attitude, Huang Ying felt relieved. She said, "Rong, I believe you. We are sisters and should understand and tolerate each other."

Seeing the reconciliation between the two sisters, Guo Jing felt very relieved. He knew that as long as they could understand and tolerate each other, they could definitely resolve the conflict.

From then on, the relationship between Huang Rong and Huang Ying gradually improved. They no longer played tricks on each other but helped and supported each other instead. Guo Jing also cared more for Huang Ying, and their relationship deepened.

Guo Jing spent a wonderful time on Peach Blossom Island. He got along very well with Huang Rong and Huang Ying. They played together on the island and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Guo Jing's feelings for Huang Ying also deepened. He began to realize that Huang Ying was a kind and gentle girl, and he liked her.

However, Guo Jing also understood that he could not only consider his own feelings. He also had to consider Huang Rong's feelings. He knew that Huang Rong was a kind and clever girl, and he could not hurt her. He decided to try to resolve the conflict between them and let them get along peacefully.
