Against Fate (Eternal Love of Dream/Pillow Book FanFic)

35. Beach Day

"We are finally here! I can't wait to step on the soft sand!" Feng Jiu exclaimed excitedly. Then she started running towards the beach, and Xiao Yan ran after her.

"Calm down, kids. We have the whole day to enjoy!" Si Ming smiled as he slowly walked towards the beach.

They rented a gigantic beach umbrella and took out their beach mats. Feng Jiu started to get comfy, and she lay down under the shade. Si Ming and Xiao Yan then ran towards the sea and started swimming.

On the other hand, Dong Hua arrived at the beach, along with Chong Lin. He didn't want Chong Lin to know his purpose of coming to the beach, so he pretended to walk around the beach, trying to spot Feng Jiu. Then he noticed Feng Jiu sitting down under the beach umbrella.

"Chong Lin, go rent a beach gazebo in this area. The view is better here." Dong Hua casually said. The 'view' that he was referring to was actually Feng Jiu.

After they settled down at the gazebo, Dong Hua said to Chong Lin, "Don't mind me. Go have fun."

"Umm... Are you sure?" Chong Lin asked cautiously since he thought that Dong Hua was acting a little different today.

Dong Hua didn't say a word, then he put on his sunglasses and leaned back against the beach chair.

Chong Lin immediately took the hint, and he left to find the other employees that were also at the beach.

Si Ming and Xiao Yan felt a little tired after swimming, so they came back to look for Feng Jiu. Then they started to eat the snacks that Feng Jiu prepared.

Dong Hua noticed that Feng Jiu kept giving Xiao Yan more snacks, and he wondered what their relationship was.

"Should we start playing frisbee?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Yeah! Let's go now!" Feng Jiu replied excitedly.

Then the three of them started to play frisbee in an empty spot of the beach nearby. Dong Hua instantly felt curious, so he sat up and looked at them play.

Si Ming was good at frisbee, so Feng Jiu and Xiao Yan teamed up against him.

"Throw the frisbee to me!" Feng Jiu shouted to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan then threw the frisbee towards Feng Jiu, and she jumped up, trying to catch the frisbee. But she couldn't catch the frisbee because she was too short, and then she clumsily fell onto her knees. Feng Jiu started whining, "Not fair! I'm too short!"

Xiao Yan then helped her up, and they all laughed. All of them were having such a great time together.

----------------------------------------

Dong Hua, who was still looking at Feng Jiu from afar, accidentally let out a small laugh after seeing what happened. "This is getting interesting," he thought to himself.

At this moment, the frisbee flew into Dong Hua's gazebo, and he picked it up. Then Feng Jiu ran over to pick up the frisbee.

Dong Hua instantly panicked upon seeing Feng Jiu running towards his direction, and he quickly tried to hide his face, using the work documents that he was holding on to.

"Hold on... Why do I have to hide?" He thought to himself, and then he put aside his work documents. He slowly sat up straight and tried to look calm.

Feng Jiu was shocked to see Dong Hua when she walked into his gazebo.

"Dong... Dong Hua?! What are you doing here?"

"Enjoying the sun at the beach." He replied coldly.

"Yeah, he definitely needs to melt his 'Ice' under this hot sun." Feng Jiu muttered under her breath.
