Chapter 2 The Blooming Hibiscus

Sister Hao nodded: "The gentleman said there is no need to cook, and just ordered a ham sandwich"

Since you have guessed it, why not pursue it

Ah, I am a sea otter

Shall we go snorkeling

Is it not 10 o'clock? Su Anyi was astonished

If underwater, in the event that the air valve is accidentally touched, causing a leak or closure, will it lead to suffocation? An Yi further inquired, "If visibility is very poor, will others be unable to come to the rescue in time?"

Mr. Sea Otter has come to pick us up Utai winked at Anyi I told you so, he looks mean, but in fact, he is not like that

Qiao let out a disdainful snort, exhaled, and slowly sank beneath the water

However, the disappearance of Shen Tian'en remains an enigma to her

"Old Fox Shen, you cunning one," Xu Jiarui grasped him by the collar, "You must have calculated that she would come."

Xu Zongyang remained silent

"You must have also said that you would love her for a lifetime." Xu Jiarui raised his hand, "I knew that you young people in love would make all sorts of promises. " He patted Shen Tianwang, "This is the last straw for that silly girl, do you really not want to help her?"

I have been experiencing low blood pressure and seasickness recently

The origin of the initial rumors remains unclear; whether it was the resentment of Shen Tian'en's close friend towards Xu Zongyang's fickleness, or the jealousy of competitors over his rapid rise, is unknown. However, the whispers in the air suggest that there are indeed many doubts surrounding Shen Tian'en's disappearance. Yet, with the event occurring six months ago and being far away in a foreign country, all of this is merely speculation by the public. Given the Liang family's wealth and influence, within a month, the rampant discussions were silenced, and no one mentioned it again.

Su Anyi did not want to interject; she had always been reluctant to listen to sorrowful love stories, fearing that they would evoke shared suffering and leave her heart in anguish

Su Anyi instead felt relieved. "It's alright," she said as she returned to the boat, splashing seawater on her face, and asked with a smile, "Does it still look terrifying now?"

So I say, women are too naive, thinking that by making some self-sacrifices, they can change a man's mind. In the bar, the heavily made-up woman was already seven parts drunk, leaning against Xu Jiarui and chattering incessantly

As the depth increases underwater, the surrounding pressure rises, causing the volume of air in the inner ear to decrease, and the eardrum experiences a significant pressure from the outside in. At this time, it is necessary to equalize the ear pressure, similar to when an airplane is landing, by closing the mouth and moving the jaw, or by pinching the nose and forcefully exhaling. If one has a cold and the nasal passages are blocked, it becomes very difficult to equalize the ear pressure

She tidied up the dishes and took them into the kitchen, while Pakun quietly asked: "Would you like to see a photo of Uthai when he was slim?"

"I apologize, but I do not know how to comment. This is because I have not studied the issues of relationships between men and women," Xu Jiarui pointed behind him, "I must take my leave, my partner has arrived"

Mr. Xu Er said he has made plans with a friend and will return later

Su Anyi no longer asked questions; she noted down her doubts and could question Xu Zongyang after returning.

She wanted to ask Qiao if he could escape after the change, but she felt that someone as agile as him would not give anyone such an opportunity. This question was too naive

Utah said: "Angela has caught a cold recently, her nose is blocked, and she may not be able to perform ear pressure equalization"

Several days after Shen Tian'en went missing near Qingye Wan, her weight belt was discovered at the edge of an underwater cliff. It is speculated that she has met with misfortune and has fallen hundreds of meters into the underwater abyss. Xu Zongyang recounted that he experienced nitrogen narcosis underwater, leading to a blurred consciousness, which prevented him from timely noticing Shen Tian'en's disappearance. A newspaper commented: 'With lifeguard qualifications and hundreds of diving records, experiencing nitrogen narcosis at a depth of twenty meters is as unlikely as a Las Vegas dealer dealing the wrong card. However, while the latter would lose their job, the former could become the favored son-in-law of a real estate tycoon.'

I will try again and compete with you

Shen Tianwang downed the tequila in one gulp: "You know, there is no possibility between An Yi and me"

I know that she has never liked me. Why not next time, the three of you siblings return to the old house in Palo Alto. Didn't you say that An Yi stays there every time she comes back

Su Anyi grabbed the flashlight and pulled him up: "Originally, there was already a big belly, and now there's an additional festering sore. What kind of animal do you think this is?"

The grouper was boiled into a pot of soup, which was vastly different from the steamed flavor that Su Anyi was accustomed to. She was distracted, and the sour and spicy delicious fish soup tasted bland to her. Seeing her silent all evening, Utai asked, "How about I teach you to dance with fireballs?" He handed her two unlit fire cotton balls, each tied with a long string. Su Anyi watched him demonstrate, holding the ends of the long strings in both hands, spinning them forward on either side of her body, then turning around to swing the balls, using the momentum to dance backward; he also taught her how to bring her hands together in front of her and move them in an interlaced manner. At first, it was difficult to grasp the timing, and the balls hit her several times or wrapped around her wrists, getting tangled tightly. Utai and Qiao drank beer and spoke in a local dialect that she could not understand, occasionally glancing at her, saying a few words, and laughing heartily.

11 o'clock

Qiao stood against the wall with a black leather long bag: "Just borrowed from the village, not just me who eats fish"

Liang Huaying nodded and lightly kissed his cheek: "Good night"

It seems that I have arrived at an inopportune time

Meanwhile, in the Liang family mansion, the father and daughter were locked in a gaze.

Sometimes Joe appears very indifferent, but he is not truly unkind

Life must be held in one's own hands. Qiao glanced sideways and said, You always have some very strange ideas. If you feel it is dangerous, you can withdraw now; it is not too late.

Su Anyi tilted her head and said, "In the future, when diving, you won't grab my flippers, will you"

At this moment, what he cared about most in his heart might only be the pair of siblings, Jiarui and Anyi. Recently, Xu Zongyang saw a newspaper featuring a photo of Anyi and slammed it down on the table. He rarely got angry, which startled Sister Hao, and for several days she did not dare to speak loudly.

Uthai waved his hand: "I am not a child."

Floating to the surface, Su Anyi removed her glasses and felt warm liquid flowing from her nasal cavity. The boatman, Pakun, stared at her in shock and shouted, "Are you alright?" She wiped her face, her hand covered in blood, mixed with seawater, creating a red patch. Even after cleaning and wiping again, blood continued to flow out. A moment of fear surged within her as she looked up to see Qiao; he gazed back at her, his expression calm and silent.

"What about you?" Uthai asked, "Why did you come here alone? There should be many boys willing to travel with you."

Qiao Yangshou: "Are you coming to wash the fish?"

"Xu Lao Er, let us get down to business." Shen Tianwang brushed aside his arm, "Every time you wear that playful smile, it means there is a problem."

You almost killed me!" She coughed incessantly

Qiao let out a sound and said: "Before I forget, remind you to come back for practice at 11 o'clock tomorrow."

You are too focused on your own breathing and are not accustomed to enduring it said Joe you are always eager to return to the surface

She is not someone who values life excessively, at least she does not worry unnecessarily.

Liang Huaying personally cooked and served wonton noodles to the study. Xu Zongyang leaned in the wide armchair by the window, his eyes slightly closed. Through the sparse bushes, the gentle lights of the San Francisco Bay Area were visible. Liang Huaying knelt beside her husband, gently resting her head on his lap, holding his hand: "Still worried about your younger sister?"

After having dinner at her parental home, she returned to her own house, which felt cold and empty. She asked the housekeeper, Sister Hao, "Have you had dinner?"

Later, you took her home

Many course exercises require collaboration between two individuals. From now on, we are partners. "Once you find yourself in a perilous situation, a partner is your savior. There must be mutual understanding and trust, and we must be responsible for each other" said Qiao

Oh, you cannot speak, was that because my elder brother bribed you with money

Recalling the feeling of suffocation underwater, Su Anyi was still in a state of shock. Turning into the kitchen, she saw Qiao skillfully cleaning a grouper, and she couldn't help but stop in her tracks

My little sister from China! Uthai gently tousled her hair, "Thank you for accompanying me here, you are truly a thoughtful girl"

What if you close my air valve from behind?

It is merely that she is overly conceited, believing that Tian Wang will certainly pay attention to her from afar, and that one day the two of them will be able to see through the clouds and reunite.

I know

Back at the store, Utai asked: "After such a long time, only catching one fish, was it the beautiful girl who distracted Mr. Otter?"

You mentioned that in perilous situations, companions will help each other, and we must trust one another. Su Anyi said, "Because you were very calm just now, I believe there is no serious problem."

I didn't bring my passport, and by the time I flew back to New York to get it, she had already been taken by the natives to be their wife. Xu Jiarui shrugged and said, "This is quite good. Just look at the magazine, and you'll know she likes to wear leaf skirts."

Su Anyi caught a cold and was sneezing. She asked, "My health check-up results are all normal, but if there are any undetected underlying diseases, could they be triggered by diving?"

"Is it like putting one's life in the hands of another?" Su Anyi asked, "Then, companions are also the ones most likely to put each other in danger?"

Su Anyi pointed at Qiao and said, "His lack of fear indicates that there is no problem"

I am very sorry

She nodded: "Sure, I was just thinking about practicing freediving."

It seems that it is not yet.

"No, I know that when he is not at home, he is going to wwwhetushucomcom to go out to sea, so I feel relieved." Liang Huaying smiled helplessly, "He has always had someone else in his heart."

What initially was an unfortunate incident during a trip, months later became sensationalized by various newspapers due to Xu Zongyang's marriage to Liang Huaying. The Liang family is a prominent clan, and their every action naturally attracts public attention

I always find it hard to contain my anger

He did not break his promise. Xu Zongyang stood up, saw the wonton noodles, and said, "Thank you, you have also been running around all day, get some rest early. I still need to wait for Jiarui."

You clearly told me ten o'clock during dinner, didn't you, Uthai

"Fish gun?" An Yi asked in a low voice

Qiao asked several questions, and she answered fluently. Qiao nodded: "It won't be windy tomorrow, I will take you to practice."

Yet, how cold-blooded one must be to face a person struggling for life before them

Oh, isn't that what the fairy tale says, that the prince and princess lived happily ever after?

Oh, it doesn't matter. Utai sighed, "Sometimes I even feel fortunate that she was never my girlfriend; otherwise, I don't know how I would miss her."

Su Anyi recalled Wu Tai's words and returned him a relieved smile

Her acting is truly remarkable. I have seen her, adorned with elegant silk, like a blooming hibiscus.

Pakun patted his chest: "Much better now, I was terrified just a moment ago when my face was covered in blood"

Then I will not make any self-sacrifice to change you, this man. Xu Jiarui touched that good leg, "I am not a woman, I am not that foolish. Please hurry up and get married, so that the silly girl can give up her thoughts and not take any risks."

"You also heard it, someone just said that women are too naive. In my opinion, they are rather foolish." Xu Jiarui twirled his wine glass, "Knowing full well that the person is already engaged, with a pure and beautiful fiancée, what does she count for? Day in and day out, exposing herself in magazines, yet she insists on embarrassing herself at the cocktail party."

Ah, it is my former girlfriend, isn't she beautiful?" He gently caressed the girl's face, his gaze tender, and then laughed heartily, "I am just joking, don't take it seriously. Her name is Zan Wansi Li, but we all call her A Zan. Remember I mentioned that Qiao currently has no rivals, but A Zan might not necessarily lose to him.

If I hadn't caught you, you would have returned to the water half a minute ago. Joe disagreed, saying, If you hadn't kicked around recklessly, perhaps you could have stayed a little longer

The suspect shrugged: "Who wants to compete with me?" as he carried the grouper to the kitchen to rinse it.

Su Anyi nodded

Shen Tianwang glared at him fiercely: "You said you would take good care of An Yi"

Reaching the end of the beach, after climbing over a rugged stretch of rocks embedded with empty shells, their sharp edges pricking her feet, Su Anyi could not help but slow her pace. Qiao, as if walking on level ground, elegantly leaped into the sea with his spear drawn. By the time Su Anyi hurriedly donned her fins and entered the water, he had already been underwater for a minute or two, still holding the spear with focused intent, steadily floating a meter or two above the seabed.

"Do you not think that companions are also the ones most likely to put you in danger?" Joe retorted

Su Anyi no longer asked further questions, closing the photo album and placing it back in its original spot. Wu Tai was clearly restless, and after drinking too much, he accidentally hit his forehead while juggling fireballs, causing a patch of blisters to form. Feeling guilty, Su Anyi took the initiative to offer to accompany him to the clinic in the village

Shen Tianwang pushed the door open and she could not stop him. Looking at her elder brother, his face was also ashen. Su Anyi picked up the newspaper clippings, each word and sentence strikingly shocking. At that time, being young, she only thought about persuading Shen Tianwang to stay, without the time to scrutinize the authenticity of the reports. Later, when she occasionally flipped through them, she had already fallen out with her elder brother and was estranged from Tianwang, and deep down, she naturally believed that all of this was true. Although there were exaggerations, the disappearances of Xu Zongyang and Shen Tian'en were definitely related. Otherwise, Tianwang would not have been so resolute.

Su Anyi turned around and kicked back, but he was holding her arm and could not reach her.

Uthai shook his head: "You two discuss it, I do not remember"

Su Anyi felt as if her lungs were about to explode, struggling a couple of times, feeling even more short of breath and tight in the chest. She shook her head violently, indicating that she could not manage it. As Qiao Yi released her grip, she darted to the surface of the water, breathing rapidly, and even swallowed a mouthful of water

Su Anyi insisted on being strong, thinking that a few meters deep on the first day was bearable, and that the pain could be endured. She had not seen anyone avoid flying just because of a cold

Hong Kong. I only found out that she went to Hong Kong. Although I am well-informed, I am not yet an Interpol agent

Su Anyi attempted to dive, but after going down four or five meters, she felt a tightness in her chest after holding her breath for a moment, which instilled a sense of fear in her. She kicked her fins and swam back to the surface. Qiao paid her no mind, allowing her to flounder about in the water, bobbing up and down. After diving twice, he managed to catch a grouper, threading it onto a piece of iron wire he carried with him, and handed it to Su Anyi. The blood vessels beneath the grouper's gills were pinched off by Qiao, causing it to float belly up to the surface, still bleeding.

Su Anyi did not expect him to be so spiteful and vengeful, she snorted and went to sit at the bow of the boat, no longer paying him any attention

"Do not trust Qiao, he is not going swimming," Utai said with his arms crossed, laughing, "Mr. Sea Otter, I remember you did not bring it along"

That was right under my nose, but now, here I am drinking with you, who knows where she has gone

Xu Lianghuaying crumpled a stack of reports and said: "You actually had someone follow my husband. Not only him, but do I also have no right to any privacy?"

Did she not return to New York

This is a long story. More than five years ago, I broke up with my boyfriend and have not encountered a suitable person since then

Liang Fu coldly said: "Do not mention Shen Tian'en, she has been dead for six years"

I am afraid of gaining weight," Su Anyi shook her head, "It is quite a challenge for you to swim often and still develop a beer belly.

She looked up, and the water surface eight meters away seemed to be within reach. Above her head, there were fragmented bright spots of sunlight, a continuous expanse, brilliant and dazzling. Suddenly, there was a moment of confusion, as if she had seen such a scene in a dream, vivid and familiar

If you cherish your life this much, then do not go underwater. Qiao, sitting nearby and eating hand-grabbed rice, did not look up and coldly said, There are people who suffer heart attacks at night, and there are those who get hit by cars while walking on the sidewalk. In any situation, no one can guarantee your safety one hundred percent. Even if you obediently stay at home, do you not worry that an earthquake might cause the house to collapse

"Yes. You already knew my intentions, yet you still brought her here," Shen Tianwang said. "Since we all understand, let's not drink this wine. I am going back."

Shen Tian'en has been an exceptional swimmer since childhood, standing out even when compared to the tall and strong white students on the school swimming team. During his college spring break, Xu Zongyang traveled to the Bahamas in the Caribbean with friends and became enamored with diving, encouraging his girlfriend to learn as well. Before arriving at Sucha Island, Xu Zongyang had already logged hundreds of dives, and Shen Tian'en had been diving for over two years, making them recognized as skilled divers within their social circle.

However, contrary to expectations, the beautiful dream has finally been shattered

For the public, forgetting a piece of gossip is not a difficult task; however, some individuals meticulously collect the reports and present them to Xu Zongyang, asking him to provide an explanation

Oh. She turned around nonchalantly, "I was just startled today"

No need for discussion, how about twelve o'clock?" Qiao's expression was serious

"Pakun, you are here to present your treasures again." Utai draped his arms over the shoulders of the two, "So, how was it? Wasn't I quite handsome back then?"

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, six years have been wasted. If she continues to drift aimlessly, she may fear losing her aspirations forever

Su Anyi was determined to make every second count, not wanting to waste her time getting angry with indifferent oddballs. She did not want to be looked down upon by Qiao, so she read the book with particular care. After three days of the typhoon, she had already read through hundreds of pages of the manual.

With such an impatient coach, I must take responsibility for my own safety. Su Anyi wanted to retort but ultimately held back.

Ah, in the past, there were people... that was a long time ago. Uthai patted her shoulder, "Hurry and take a shower, come eat dinner"

Qiao raised an eyebrow: "Are you still going? Afraid of blood?"

Su Anyi laughed heartily, also grasping his arm: "Aren't you afraid that I might know Chinese martial arts?"

I think so too. In order to win her over, my brother had me pass on a supplementary credit card. At first, I thought she was really saving money for my brother, wanting to shop and unwind, and even chose duty-free places. But..." Xu Jiarui turned his right hand, pinching a card between his index and middle fingers, "She threw this into the trash can at the old house, really wasteful. However, she did take away a pile of old clippings, all about things from six years ago that were mere rumors. Where do you think she would go?

Shen Tianwang's expression darkened: "Are you trying to make the other leg lame as well?"

Su Anyi knew it was a joke and turned to glare at him, but Qiao paid no attention. He packed up his gear and asked for a cigarette from Pakun, casually inquiring, "You haven't recovered from your cold, have you?"

The next day, the weather was indeed calm and peaceful. Qiao prepared two sets of equipment early in the morning and explained each part to Su Anyi

Su Anyi was also aware that the Liang family initially did not agree to this marriage. However, the elder sister-in-law was deeply infatuated and was willing to sever ties with her family. Although the Xu family had fallen into decline, Xu Zongyang was recognized in the industry as a rising star. Moreover, since Liang Huaying was the youngest daughter in the family, her parents could not go against her wishes and thus tacitly approved of their marriage without imposing any interference. Unexpectedly, complications arose later, and while the couple was still in the honeymoon phase, numerous rumors began to circulate.

Su Anyi teased: "Yes, yes, you can also provide free accommodation, and you can see the sea from the balcony"

The woman turned her head again to look at Jia Rui, her eyes wide open

Su Anyi nodded repeatedly. The two of them stealthily made their way to the back of the store, where Pakun took out an album, mostly filled with group photos of staff and tourists, likely sent back to the island after being developed. The first few pages featured old photo paper, but Uthai's figure was easily recognizable; his appearance had not changed much over the years, just much younger and extremely thin in the photos. Su Anyi laughed heartily: "Look at this one, so dark and thin, he looks like he's in Somalia." She then pointed to a handsome young man beside him, saying, "He is as pretty as a girl." Before she could finish her sentence, she spotted a local girl in the photo, with short hair and thick eyebrows, her large, deep-set eyes exuding a spirited charm, and a subtle smile that carried an unadorned allure.

"Go back and accompany your fiancée? That woman, you should give up on her as soon as possible; she is too petty. Right in front of you, she asked An Yi about the feeling of kissing someone else." Xu Jiarui scoffed, "There are plenty of rich heiresses. You should either choose a virtuous one or a dull one; at the very least, she should have the capacity of my sister-in-law. In this regard, my elder brother is far more discerning than you."

I came out to drink with you because we are friends. Now you are no longer a member of the Xu family, and I am no longer a member of the Shen family, so some matters need not be mentioned

Utai shook his head: "It is likely that no one on this island can surpass Qiao now"

Su Anyi took a deep breath and swam down to a depth of two meters, facing him. Time felt long and as if it had come to a standstill; her chest felt tight, and she could not help but swim upwards, yet her ankle was tightly grasped by Qiao. The delicate ripples were just above her head; she stretched out her arms, her fingertips already breaking the surface of the water, but her feet could not move, and the air was merely inches away yet impossible to breathe. Su Anyi felt a surge of panic in her heart and kicked her legs desperately. Qiao seized her wrist and pulled her down, bringing her to eye level with him, signaling her to exhale slowly through her mouth.

Qiao seized her wrist and pulled her down, bringing her to eye level with him, signaling her to exhale slowly through her mouth.

Relatives may grieve for me, while others have already sung their songs

Pakun brought hot milk and toasted bread. Upon seeing her shivering from the cold, Utai handed her a long-sleeved shirt. Su Anyi signed a form that listed a long series of questions, mostly inquiring about significant medical history, followed by a disclaimer stating that the dive shop would not be held responsible for any accidents arising from health issues or personal reasons. It resembled a declaration of life and death.

"It doesn't matter, I have plenty of charm, so I won't miss one or two." Xu Jiarui hooked his shoulder, "Right now, you are the only one in my heart."

Qiao could not hold back and laughed, saying: "Ah, I am very lazy. It is already quite late."

This scene lingered in Liang Huaying's mind. Even years later, when her father walked her down the church aisle and Xu Zongyang stood at the other end, handsome and elegant, she seemed to see the reflection of Shen Tian'en in his eyes. She ran over with laughter, and his gaze was gentle and warm

"Go back, hurry back!" Qiao gently kicked her on the calf

She pulled her handbag, tidied her hair, and forced a smile: "Thank you for treating me to a drink"

In the evening, Qiao stepped out with a mirror in hand, and Su Anyi got up to catch up: "Are you going to practice diving again? Didn't you say you would only practice twice a day?"

Two people closed the door and argued, while Su Anyi stood outside, anxious and restless

"Do not be stubborn in the future, do not act out of spite." Qiao glanced at her, a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown, "We are companions, not enemies"

Xu Jiayrui spread his arms wide: "Welcome to the bay area! No, no, no, welcome to the gay area!"

Liang Fu patted his daughter's shoulder: "If you do not hire a private detective to investigate, how would you discover that I sent someone to follow? Ultimately, it is your lack of confidence in him."

The two people chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, they had returned to the beach. Qiao walked towards them and saw that they had stopped in their tracks

Qiao Lengheng: "Do you want to learn to be a diver, or learn to be an assassin?"

Shen Tianwang looked up and said, "Do you think I have never been to Sucha Island? But it is meaningless; the person who led them diving later went insane."

Qiao had her perform some basic exercises in shallow water, then instructed her to dive down to about 10 meters along the cable anchored to the seabed, reminding her to ascend a little if she felt discomfort in her ears, and to continue descending after balancing the ear pressure. Su Anyi's nasal passages remained congested, making it impossible for her to equalize the pressure in her inner ears. Qiao had already reached the bottom, checking her watch to time her, frequently looking up. Driven by her competitive spirit, Su Anyi endured the ear pain and descended straight to the bottom. Qiao wrote on a plastic board she carried, "Too slow." Qiao had already reached the bottom, checking her watch to time her, frequently looking up. Driven by her competitive spirit, Su Anyi endured the ear pain and descended straight to the bottom. Qiao wrote on a plastic board she carried, "Too slow."

She is your younger sister, and she will not suffer any losses

Gently closing the wooden door, she leaned against the wall, momentarily lost in thought. When she first met Xu Zongyang, he was so calm and serene. At that time, they had just attended the university's orientation for freshmen, carrying materials as they crossed the lawn. Shen Tian'en suddenly brightened, whistled, and ran over to him, playfully linking arms like brothers. He was not annoyed; he took her hand and rested his forehead against hers. In the Spanish-style corridor, sunlight rested on his right shoulder, casting a warm smile amidst the interplay of light and shadow.

In the Spanish-style corridor, sunlight rested on his right shoulder, casting a warm smile amidst the interplay of light and shadow.

He nearly drowned me! Su Anyi strongly accused.

Su Anyi understood that for a novice like her, being cut off from the air supply and having her body restrained made all struggles futile; she could only wait for her demise. Even if she were to be weighed down with a couple more pieces of lead, she would soon plummet to the depths of the sea, hundreds of meters below the cliff, never to see the light of day again

Xu Jiarui laughed heartily and patted the seat beside him, saying, "My true love, come sit down." He then called to the waiter, "Another glass of tequila, no lemon, no salt."

It is meaningless; you have a respirator in your mouth

"You all grew up together, and the threats you make are all the same." Xu Jiarui laughed, "Don't you want to know what happened to your childhood sweetheart? She was taken away by a slick, well-groomed young man."

Su Anyi frowned, splashed in the water, and asked: "Why did you stay underwater for so long?"

Even when faced with a dying grouper, Su Anyi still felt a pang of compassion. She could not believe that her elder brother would be so cruel to Shen Tian'en

No, she does not want to see me," Xu Zongyang said, "If I want to see her, I can only look at fashion magazines.

Really?" Qiao raised an eyebrow, "Don't be stubborn. If your ears hurt and you can't dive, it will just waste everyone's time.

Oh, is it that he can only go to the sea?" Liang's father frowned, "It seems that they are respectful to each other, but in reality, they are disconnected in spirit. I am just afraid that you are too infatuated; if he finds someone else outside, you will still be in the dark.

Su Anyi detected the insinuation and asked, "What about before?"

Su Anyi joked, "Fortunately, I didn't ignite it, otherwise I would have already become a BBQ by now." Then she called out to Wu Tai, "Don't just focus on drinking, come teach me once more."

I knew it, you saw me go out with her. Unfortunately, that foolish girl still harbors fantasies about you. Xu Jiarui sighed, this time she is truly heartbroken, I hope she does not do anything foolish.

Ah. Qiao nodded, "The sinus has ruptured, but it is not a major issue. Balancing the pressure will be easier in the future. I encountered a similar situation in my early years, and there is nothing to worry about. Some people are shouting and making a fuss, thinking it is a matter of life and death, which is quite annoying."

Liang Huaying tilted her head and lowered her eyelids: "I am just worrying too much; Zong Yang treats me very well"

Su Anyi glared at him, visibly upset

Uthai explained: "This is a routine procedure; as long as one is in good health, there is nothing to be afraid of"

He has always been gentle and courteous towards himself, showing great respect, yet lacking the necessary intimacy. Liang Huaying is aware that her recent state of mind has not been good, which is why she resorted to such a measure of investigating her husband, fearing it may be a precursor to depression. She caresses her abdomen, hoping that with this connection, there can be more warmth between the two of them

What you said is very good, but does it mean not accompanying your wife on vacation and instead sailing out to sea by yourself?

He waved tipsily: "Another can, do you want one?"

Is there any news about Miss San?

"Wash your neck thoroughly." Qiao splashed water on her, "Be careful not to attract sharks."

After disinfecting in the clinic, the two individuals crossed the jungle with flashlights, occasionally hearing the chirping sounds of lizards of various sizes. Su Anyi slipped underfoot, and Utai grabbed her arm, chuckling, "You are quite bold; aren't you afraid? In the jungle at night, I can't guarantee what kind of person I might become"

In the late night, a fierce wind howled, and in the early morning hours, Su Anyi was awakened by the cold. She tightly closed the doors and windows, yet still heard the deafening sound of the waves crashing violently against the rocks. She pulled several layers of bed sheets and towels over herself, but the chill still seeped through. When she got up in the morning and rushed to the store, the sky resembled an ink wash painting, deep black and dark gray, with layers of clouds rolling and a torrential rain approaching, leaving the world shrouded in a haze of water.

Su Anyi was eager to expedite the process and said, "I have already recovered"

"Who is this girl?" Su Anyi flipped through a few pages, "There are several photos of her."

Utai covered his forehead and shouted, "Be careful of the injured, be careful of the injured!"

Therefore, it is something that can never be contested, and I was very clear about this from the beginning. But I am indeed happier than Tian'en, as I can always be by Zongyang's side. " Liang Huaying shook her head, "Do not investigate any further; if he finds out, we might have to distance ourselves again.

Jia Rui did not eat either

She is most easily provoked, so she changed into her swimsuit and jogged to catch up

"Then why not stay and be with me?" Utai smiled, "Swimming every day, eating fish and fruit, enjoying the breeze and singing, how delightful it would be"

It may also be for shopping, year-end clearance sales

Didn’t Jiarui say that he would take her back to California
