"You know, I'm surprised that you're taking a vacation." Xiao Yunhua said after opening her closed eyes, looking directly at Qiang Yue.
The doctor smiled with nostalgia, most likely reminiscing about a certain memory. "A friend of mine was deeply concerned that I've been too stressed recently."
"I see..." Their conversations still held some awkwardness, but it was mainly because they didn't know each other well.
"You know, I'm surprised that you were granted a vacation alone so soon after being released from hospital." This time it was Qiang Yue that had started a conversation. To see the man much more comfortable with her, she was relieved.
With a sheepish smile, she shrugged her shoulders. "I kind of escaped on my own." She expected Qiang Yue to begin to judge her, but the man remained silent. "After everything that happened, I needed a break. But of course, they would be worried and try to intervene, so I snuck off in the middle of the night." Xiao Yunhua sarcastically chuckled, "But I'm sure they know where I'm at, especially with Wang Yaowan's resources and connections."
"For them to not bring you home immediately, this is their respect to you." Qiang Yue quietly muttered. Xiao Yunhua contemplated but she realized that he was right.
Wang Yaowan and Ni Ming respected her, especially as she was an adult. But her recent, emotional behavior hadn't garnered her any points on being an adult. She seemed so childish in regards to all her decisions that she made. Xiao Yunhua closes her eyes, taking in the warmth of the sun as a tranquil silence overcame them both.
Ignoring the buzz of the people around them, Xiao Yunhua listened to the ocean's soothing waves, gently going back and forth on the sand.
"Yunhua..." Qiang Yue was still hesitant on calling her by her name, but since she insisted, he would act accordingly. "Do you want to go grab a snack?" It was early morning, and neither had eaten anything. Even though Qiang Yue was still tired, he didn't mind staying with her for a bit longer if he made her happy.
Xiao Yunhua nodded. When Qiang Yue stood up, he felt his previous headache strike him vulnerable and swayed a bit. Xiao Yunhua widened her eyes in alarm and quickly helped the doctor steady himself, but they ended up tumbling in the sand.
Qiang Yue was beginning to see clearly and he realized that there was a very attractive woman underneath him, blushing profusely. Not only she, but Qiang Yue was flustered as well. So flustered that he accidentally called her, "Miss Xiahu, my apologies—"
"Mama, what are they doing?" A little kid's voice asked innocently, using her finger to point at them. Both Qiang Yue and Xiao Yunhua turned their heads and noticed a woman holding the hands of a toddler.
The woman's face looked horrified, but the little girl was curious. The woman shook her head, "Nothing dear, they're just... learning to swim." The woman was so flustered at seeing the beautiful duo doing it in broad daylight that she couldn't think straight. This was the only logical answer she could blurt out.
"But why are they learning on top of each other?" The more the young child spoke, the more that the two became red in shame. They weren't doing anything wrong, yet why did it seem like they were behaving atrociously in public?
"Uh, sweetie, let's go get ice cream!" The mother uncomfortably pulled her daughter away, but the young girl pouted.
"I want to learn with the prince-y man too..." Hearing the little girl say such words, Qiang Yue was stunned. The woman was horrified even more and pulled her daughter away despite her whining.
At this point, it looked like a tomato had exploded on Xiao Yunhua's face and Qiang Yue awkwardly cleared his throat, getting up from atop of Xiao Yunhua.
"Yunhua..." Once again, he was interrupted, but not by some stranger nor a young child, but by the sound of Xiao Yunhua's laughter.
The beautiful woman's carefree laughter attracted the attention of the onlookers and Qiang Yue himself. His apology seemed stuck in his throat when he saw her look so lovely.
In the end, he laughed too. This experience, neither would forget...
