Chapter One

Who are they? An Xunyue became more puzzled. This person seemed not at all surprised by her arrival.

That... I, I can explain, I, I will go over immediately.

Actually, from the words she used during the phone call, a few people had already guessed a little. It was nothing more than the person in charge of managing the villa secretly renting it out to tourists. Unfortunately, the owner happened to come back to live in the house at this time, so... ... it turned into the current situation. They just didn't expect that the owner of the house did not get angry, but instead politely requested to enter the house.

Alan said to Anxun, "Can you please not let my dad know? Otherwise, he will skin me alive." Seeing that Anxun still remembered him and didn't seem angry, Alan became bolder and changed how he addressed him.

I am An Yun, and I have arrived in Tingnan. In fact, An Yun probably guessed the reason, but she just didn't quite believe that Changsheng Bo would be the kind of person to do such a thing privately.

An Xun glanced at Si Yu and thought to himself that he was really confused to have thought that he was the son of Changsheng Bo.

Si Yu shook his head and looked at An Xun.

An Xun smiled: "Of course, I recognize you."

The gentle breeze rustled the hundred-day red flowers in the courtyard. The large leaves of the hibiscus swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound. An Xun's skirt also fluttered along. Standing on the side, Da Chuan secretly took a deep breath and jokingly said, "With the arrival of this fairy sister, the whole yard smells fragrant." The others all laughed, except for the girl in shorts who rolled her eyes and cursed at him.

Si Yu withdrew his gaze from the suitcase and said slowly, "Don't be too happy too soon."

An Xun stood there in a daze, suddenly, as if smelling the fragrance of flowers.

The villa is located on a flat hillside to the west of the Gold Coast. Just step out and you will find the beach and the sea. The yard is filled with various tropical plants. Perhaps this is what Hai Zi envisioned as "facing the sea, with spring blossoms."

The man raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Before he had a chance to say anything, the door was opened again. Several people, both men and women, walked in from outside. One of them, a girl wearing shorts and sandals, walked a few steps to the man standing under the coconut tree and said, "Si Yu, you're awake. We just bought some beef. How about making dumplings tonight?" As she spoke, the girl couldn't help but turn her head to look at An Xun. In An Xun's eyes, her gaze was not as gentle as that of the person called Si Yu. One of the girls wearing shorts and sandals walked a few steps to the man standing under the coconut tree and said, "Si Yu, you're awake. We just bought some beef. How about making dumplings tonight?" As she spoke, the girl couldn't help but turn her head to look at An Xun. In An Xun's eyes, her gaze was not as gentle as that of the person called Si Yu. "Da Chuan, is this your girlfriend?" The girl's gaze moved away from An Xun and turned to one of the tall and strong men holding ingredients.

He stood up and reached out to pick off the leaf that had fallen on his shoulder without knowing when. Seeing her looking at him, he said, "They will be back soon, you can go in."

What illness did Uncle Changsheng get? Is it serious? I want to go see him," An Xun said.

When An Xun left, it was the night before the engagement. She was trying on shoes, planning to leave in that moment of courage. She said she would just leave, without even having time to change out of these high-heeled shoes. These shoes are definitely not comfortable to walk on the sand, so she simply took them off and carried them in her hand.

As a police officer from Yingge Bay Police Station, Allen's face turned even redder when he was spoken to. He stuttered and replied, "Uh, there was something going on before."

The original color of the box is not easily discernible. It is covered with hand-painted patterns, which are vibrant and very appealing.

"No need, even if Changsheng Bo is sick, I should still contribute." An Xun said.

I like her suitcase," another girl whispered to the girl in shorts.

Changsheng Bo's son is called Alan. He rode a small electric bike and came quickly. An Xun looked at this man wearing a helmet and sweating profusely, finally overlapping with the child in her memory. He looks very much like he did when he was young, unkempt, wearing oversized vests and shorts, with rosy cheeks always full of vitality. However, now there is a hint of anxiety and unease in this vitality.

Miss An, this is Alan speaking. Alan seemed to want to call her An Xun, but was afraid that after so many years of not seeing each other, it would sound unfamiliar, so he awkwardly changed it to Miss An.

Ah? This... Aaron glanced at the several people sitting on the sofa over there, then looked at An Xun. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, consider this money as my debt to you. I will pay you back when I have enough."

In the past, I experienced nausea, vomiting, and irregular heart rhythm. I had to repeatedly go to the hospital, which cost me a lot of money. I suspected it was a heart problem. There are no decent Class A hospitals in Tinan, so my sister took my father to another city for examination a couple of days ago. When they left... When they left, I gave them ten thousand yuan. As a grown man, I can let my sister take money, right? You agree, don't you? Alan said, feeling a bit embarrassed as he glanced at An Xun.

On seeing Alun blushing again, An Xun couldn't help but find it amusing. "Although I've heard that police officers don't earn much, it shouldn't be so tight for you, right?"

An Xun was a little puzzled, although his memory of Changsheng's son was vague, but he didn't have such a good-looking smile in his impression, and it seemed that he had never spoken so gently like him.

Da Chuan stood up as he spoke, and the others were just about to get up when Si Yu looked up at Da Chuan and said slowly, "Who said we were leaving?"

An Xun appeared calm, she glanced at the girl's sandals, lifted her foot and put on the high heels one by one. The long skirt made her look even more slender, and her demeanor seemed to have gained three points of strength. "I'll make a phone call." She took out her long-shut-down phone from her bag, pressed the power button, and ignored the buzzing text message prompt, directly dialing Chang Shengbo's phone number. The call was quickly answered by a young man.

In this villa area, there are more than ten households, but only a few of them are usually inhabited. Almost all of them are rented out to vacationing tourists. It is extremely rare for a house like hers to be vacant all year round. An Xun turned the car and arrived at the front of the villa. The familiar white courtyard wall and red gate came into view. On one side of the gate, there was a red Wrangler parked. The fiery red color was as warm and enthusiastic as the weather in Tingnan. An Xun thought it might be a tourist's car and didn't pay much attention. She carefully parked the car next to the Wrangler, got out and took the luggage from the trunk, and walked towards the gate with hesitant steps.

Si Yu turned his head to look at her, a smile flashing in his eyes. He seemed surprised at how confidently she spoke that sentence. An Xun pretended not to notice his teasing, thinking to herself that he actually knew he had just mistaken someone else for her.

An Xun said nothing more, reached into his bag and took out a card to give to Allen: "You pay the rent to them, including any penalty fees, and then go out to help them find a place to live."

I'm looking for Uncle Changsheng," An Xun said.

Similarly, An Xun, who had been silent all along, was also pondering why so many strangers appeared in her family's private villa.

"Si Yu, is this...?" Da Chuan thought it was Si Yu's friend.

A man wearing headphones with his eyes closed, not sure if he's asleep, An Qi turned around and closed the door. The creaking sound woke the man up. When she looked back at him, he was looking at her with his eyes open.

Just like a doorman, Da Chuan held the door and made a gesture of invitation. Si Yu bent down and picked up An Xun's luggage. An Xun expressed his gratitude, but Si Yu only smiled gently. He was a man of few words.

The man took off his headphones when he saw her speaking, and his eyes became clear. It seemed that he didn't hear what she said, and he just smiled apologetically, saying, "I thought I was dreaming."

That was a very young man, who was lazily sitting on a wicker chair with his long legs resting on the rocky edge of the flower terrace. The light of the setting sun shone through the gaps between the leaves onto his fair face, flickering and alternating between brightness and darkness...

The main gate was slightly ajar. She estimated that the butler was at home, so she pushed the door open and walked in.

An Xun is indeed tired. She not only wants to go in and sit for a while, but she simply wants to immediately rush up to the second-floor bedroom and sleep deeply.

An Xun hung up the phone and looked at a few people: "Can I come in and sit for a while? I've been driving for a long time and I'm a bit tired."

Thinking of her appearance, An Xun couldn't help but laugh. She probably will faint when she finds out that he has run away from the wedding.

Da Chuan smiled and waited for everyone to enter before closing the door and catching up. He quietly said to Si Yu, who was walking at the back, "This girl looks cold and aloof, but she's actually quite nice. We shouldn't be kicked out, right?"

At dusk, the coastal road was covered with the golden glow of the setting sun, winding into the distance and blending with the golden coastline. An Xun took off her sunglasses, rolled down the car window, and the gentle sea breeze mixed with the scent of purple wisteria instantly filled the entire car. She tucked away her wind-blown hair and took a deep breath, finally finding some relief from the tension of the past few days.

On this side, the two people were exchanging pleasantries, while the others on the other side remained motionless. Da Chuan looked at Si Yu, waiting for him to make a decision. Si Yu lowered his eyes, lost in thought. Although the others were somewhat reluctant to move, they also felt that returning the rent and finding a new place to live was quite cost-effective. Obviously, Da Chuan also thought so. Seeing Si Yu's silence, he made a decision himself: "Let's go, pack up and leave." Although the others were somewhat reluctant to move, they also felt that returning the rent and finding a new place to live was quite cost-effective. Obviously, Da Chuan also thought so. Seeing Si Yu's silence, he made a decision himself: "Let's go, pack up and leave."

Her destination is in Yingge Bay. In the earliest days, it was still a peaceful and harmonious place. Later, the government vigorously developed it, and the ten-mile golden coast became famous both at home and abroad. Nowadays, tourists come to Yingge Bay every year and it has never been less.

An Xun looked up at him, wondering why the boy who used to be shorter than her has grown so tall now. Why has the dirty boy who always had two runny noses become so clean and handsome?

No, this is too much...

安... ... 安浔? 那边听到她的名字似乎很紧张, "你来汀南了? 在别墅?"

The girl in shorts glanced over and pouted without saying a word.

Si Yu didn't say a word from beginning to end, seemingly pondering why she, who is not Da Chuan's girlfriend, appeared here.

My dad is not at home, you can tell me if there is anything important," said the person on the other end.

It seems like she really fell asleep, her eyes slightly closed and hazy. Her pitch-black pupils slowly focused on An Xun. An Xun supported the suitcase with one hand and held high heels with the other. Standing there barefoot, her long skirt swayed. She smiled gently and said, "Are you Changsheng's son?"

Ann Xun touched the key hanging on the rearview mirror with a thin hemp rope. The slight rust made her realize that she hadn't been to Tingnan for a long time. She didn't know if the seaside villa was still the same... Has the old butler Changsheng Bo returned home for New Year's Day? Can she still find the drawing board she left behind...

The stepmother always told her that the most important thing for a girl is to live exquisitely. If the stepmother knew that she had lived so roughly for two days, she would definitely be very hurt and might even force An Xun to swear that she would never do it again.

The matter is very simple, as expected by everyone. The house was indeed rented out by Allen because Changsheng Bo fell ill and urgently needed money. Allen rented out the house without telling his father, but he didn't expect to be caught by the landlord on the first try...

The man named Dachuan looked at Anxun with a puzzled expression, saying, "My girlfriend isn't coming, the flight got canceled."

Of course, of course. Sister, please go ahead. Da Chuan hurried to help An Xun open the door.

It took An Xun nearly a day and night of driving to reach the Tingnan Expressway toll station. During this period, she only managed to nap for four to five hours in the car and ate two bowls of instant noodles.

The voice is deep and carries a hoarseness that seems to have just woken up, yet surprisingly pleasant, as charming as his appearance.

Because it is the New Year holiday, Tingnan, which is like summer all year round, has experienced a small peak in the number of holiday tourists. She has been crawling at a slow speed at the toll booth for five minutes. The big brother in the next lane is impatiently complaining, saying that if they continue to delay, they won't be able to book a hotel.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard have long been far from what she remembers. Even the sunflowers she planted herself have grown out of shape. The courtyard is filled with Portulacas, and what surprises her the most is that a stranger is sitting under the coconut tree that once caused her to fall.

Just arrived.

Changsheng has a son who is about the same age as her. When they were young, they used to play together often. However, she can no longer remember what the boy looked like, but Changsheng always mentions him on the phone.
