Astoria nodded slightly, a happy smile on her face.

She hugged Phoenix's arms tightly, as if wanting to pass on the warmth to him.

They walked side by side, and every step seemed so harmonious and natural.

Phoenix felt the softness and warmth of Astoria's arms, and it made him feel warm inside.

His eyes fell on the girl's face. Her appearance seemed like a masterpiece of God, so beautiful that it made people intoxicated.

He was in an extremely happy mood, because at this moment, he realized his original wish for coming into this world.

It had come true in a perfect way that he had not expected.

His wish was simple, he just hoped to find his own happiness, and now, this happiness was right beside him, within reach.

Astoria's company was his greatest happiness, and every smile and hug from her made him feel extremely precious.

They continued to move forward, and the world around them seemed to make way for them.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and shone on them, adding a golden glow to their happy moment.

Phoenix knew that no matter what the future held, as long as Astoria was by his side, he would have the courage and strength to face it all.

Along the way, Astoria's curiosity was like a spark that was ignited.

Her eyes sparkled with desire for the unknown world.

She looked around and felt curious and excited about everything at the seaside.

The sun, the beach, the waves, and the colorful parasols, each of them attracted her attention.

Sometimes, she saw something special, like a beautiful woman wearing a cool swimsuit at the beach, or a man wearing only swimming trunks.

Her face would blush unconsciously and she would turn her head away shyly, looking both cute and charming.

Phoenix noticed Astoria's reaction and couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

The scenery at the beach is certainly charming, but the men wearing only swimming trunks also attract the attention of others.

He frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that Astoria's attention was soon drawn to other things.

The male tourists around were attracted by Astoria's sweet and lovely appearance, and at first some of them boldly wanted to approach her and chat with her.

Their eyes were full of interest and curiosity, but when they noticed John and his five companions following behind Astoria and Phoenix.

They all stopped at the same time. John and the other five were all tall and strong, with sharp eyes.

Their presence was like an invisible barrier, protecting Astoria and Phoenix and discouraging those who wanted to approach.

There was an unspoken warning in the eyes of John and the other four. Their presence made everyone around them feel an unspoken sense of oppression.

They are like guardians of Astoria and Phoenix, ensuring their safety and privacy.

Under such protection, Astoria and Phoenix can enjoy their seaside time more freely without worrying about being disturbed by the outside world.

Although the presence of John and the other four has formed an invisible barrier.

But there is always some daring and lustful people on the beach.

Their eyes lingered greedily on Astoria, seemingly wanting to ignore John's five warnings and try to get closer to the couple.

Whenever someone makes a move and tries to get close to Phoenix and Astoria.

There would always be someone in John's group who would rush out quickly and drag away the uninvited guests with a firm and unquestionable attitude.

Their actions were swift and powerful, and every intervention appeared decisive and effective.

It ensured that Phoenix and Astoria's private space was not violated.

Phoenix was very satisfied with the protection provided by John and his group.

He turned his head and gave John an encouraging look, which was full of praise and gratitude, as if to say:

"Good job, I'll give you a raise when I get back!"

This is not only a recognition of the loyalty and efficiency of John and his team, but also an affirmation of their conservation work.

After receiving Phoenix's gaze, John nodded quickly.

His eyes were firm and serious, as if assuring Phoenix:

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Although his movements were simple, they revealed an unquestionable commitment and determination.

He, like the other four, knew his responsibilities.

That is to ensure Phoenix and Astoria can enjoy their seaside time without worries.

As the lively atmosphere at the beach gradually heated up, Phoenix's patience was gradually tested to its limit.

He noticed that Astoria's eyes were often attracted by the coolly dressed people around her.

Although he knew that she was just curious, he couldn't suppress the jealousy in his heart.

Finally, Phoenix couldn't help it. He gently covered Astoria's eyes with his hands and said half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"Don't look at it. I'll go back and show you mine. What's so good about it..."

There was a hint of fondness in his voice, but also a hint of possessiveness, as if declaring that Astoria was his treasure alone.

Astoria did not resist, she just smiled lightly and retorted:

"I wasn't looking at those boys. I was just looking at those pretty sisters."

There was a hint of playfulness in her voice, as well as a hint of innocence.

She knew her Phoenix only cared about her, but she also wanted to enjoy this rare time at the seaside.

Phoenix naturally knew what Astoria was thinking. He wasn't really angry, he just wanted to tease her.

If he really minded, he would have carried Astoria back to their ship.

He knew Astoria's innocence and kindness, and he also knew her curiosity and love for the world.

There was a hint of sourness in Phoenix's tone, and he said half-jokingly:

"So you always see those men by accident, right?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his words, but more of it was concern and possessiveness for Astoria.

Astoria sighed helplessly when she heard this.

She gently pulled Phoenix's hand away, turned around and snuggled into his arms like a kitten seeking comfort.

She looked up at Phoenix with a hint of teasing in her eyes and said:

"Humph, you always said I was a jealous person, but I think you are the one!"

There was a hint of teasing in her words, but also a hint of sweet reproach.

Phoenix laughed at Astoria's words and he hugged her tightly, feeling her warmth and softness.

He knew his jealousy was a little irrational, but it was also because he cared too much about Astoria.
