Throughout July, I traveled all over the country for book signings.

Thanks to "Encounter", my popularity exploded. Fans everywhere lined up hours in advance. I was deeply moved, so I tried my best to meet everyone's requirements for each show, signed thousands of books, and almost the entire For months, my right hand was sore.

As expected, Li Hua was very busy. He doubled his work in exchange for time to travel with me, so I tried not to disturb him as much as possible, and finished planning and preparing for the trip by myself.

It wasn't until the day of departure that he knew that we were going to an island in Southeast Asia.I booked a pool villa in a resort hotel with a very private location. The transportation is inconvenient and the price is high, so the privacy is high, and the environment is first-class and the service is meticulous, which is very suitable for us.

The first time I used the private jet he gave me, it was my property, but I was more excited than him.As soon as he got on the plane, he was busy with the computer, and I was alone playing games and watching movies on the multimedia device that came with the seat.

"How many times have you watched it, and you still don't get tired of it?" Li Hua leaned over his head and asked while he was concentrating on watching "Encounter".

"Of course, I feel very satisfied every time I watch it." I saw him close the notebook, pause the movie, check the time, and it was about to land.

"Why are you here? I thought you would choose Europe." He asked me curiously.

"I thought about it at first, but it's too far away, and it will take a long time, so it doesn't feel right. It's only four hours of flying here, so I won't be too tired, and it's easier to swim in the hotel and have a spa." He usually works It's too hard. Although I have always had a longing for Europe, after thinking about it, I still don't want to make him too tired.

He saw through my thoughts at once: "Don't be so accommodating to me in the future, I agreed to accompany you, and I will go to the place you like."

I shook my head and burrowed into his arms again: "Where you are is the place I like."

He laughed softly, his Adam's apple trembled slightly against my cheek, and his heart felt numb, as if a breeze was blowing, stirring the heartstrings.

It was raining heavily when we arrived, and we took the pre-arranged car to the hotel.

In the past, when traveling, I was most afraid of rain. When the weather is bad, my mood will also be bad.Now I feel that nothing is important, even if the wind and rain outside the window, the world between the two of us will always be sunny.

The result of a long absence is excessive indulgence, I slept until noon the next day, Li Hua called me softly in my ear, but I still didn't want to open my eyes.

"Tired... sleep a little longer..." I murmured hazily, just turned over, and was pushed back by him again.

I struggled to open my eyes, he scratched my nose, and asked me refreshedly: "The weather is fine today, don't you want to go out for a walk?"

"What time did you get up, aren't you tired?"

"It's been a while, the weather is fine, get up and have something to eat, and then go to the beach for a swim?" He patiently said to me in a coaxing tone.

I finally got excited and got up from the bed: "Okay!"

He kissed my forehead: "I called roomservice, it should be here soon, you go wash up first."

After lunch, we walked slowly to the beach, and we saw the conspicuous little red flag on the beach from a distance—the waves are too big today, not suitable for swimming.

"Go back to the villa to swim in the swimming pool, or take a walk by the beach?" Li Hua asked me.

The weather on the island is changeable, and it’s rare that the sky is clear today, so it’s a pity to just stay in the room like this: “Let’s go again?”

"Yeah." The sunglasses covered most of his face, only the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and me with a bright smile reflected in the sunglasses.

There was no one on the beach, we walked slowly along the long coastline, I looked at our reflections side by side on the beach, on a whim, turned around and faced him, stepped on his shadow step by step and walked backwards, he led Hold my hand and let me mess around.

The sea waves wet my skirt, the oncoming sea breeze is mixed with the salty smell of sea water, the sun is very strong, and what is even hotter is the temperature of the man's palm.

"There is someone." Li Hua reminded me softly.

I turned my head, and there was a pair of foreign men and women not far behind. Although the woman was wearing sunglasses, I immediately recognized her as Stephanie, a Hollywood actress.

Probably because my gaze stayed for too long, it aroused Stephanie's vigilance. She lifted her sunglasses and lowered her head deliberately.

Although I like her very much, I didn't intend to disturb her, so I dragged Li Hua to the beach chair to rest.

"It's so lucky to meet Stephanie here!" I looked at Stephanie who was chasing and playing with her boyfriend not far away, and exclaimed excitedly.

Li Hua chose a deck chair without a parasol, took off his T-shirt and beach shorts, and only wore a pair of swimming trunks, just laying in the sun in such a generous way.

I hid under the parasol next to me, raised my phone to take a picture of him, and he reached out to me for the phone: "Give it to me."

I hastened to protect: "I will take a picture for myself, don't delete it."

"Don't delete it," he said, "give it to me, and I'll take a picture of you."

I happily rubbed against his reclining chair: "Let's take a photo."

Li Hua purposely held the phone close to him, my face was a little smaller in the photo, I hugged the phone, I couldn't be happier.When I looked up, I realized that the corners of his mouth were deeply curved, so I took off his sunglasses, and saw the smile in his eyes without any surprise.

The glare made him squint his eyes, and he wanted to take back his sunglasses, but I avoided him: "I like to see you smile."

He stroked my hair and said slowly: "In these years, I have never taken a vacation except for going home to spend time with my family every New Year's Eve. I always thought that I was quite successful in the past few years, but now I feel that, in fact, I have not taken a vacation. Lost a lot."

I rested my chin on his chest and looked straight into his eyes: "No, you have nothing to lose with me here."

Under the strong muscles, his heart was beating violently: "Then you must always be there," he grabbed my evil hand on him, "What do you want?"

"Fuck you." What he said that day was returned to him intact.

He raised his eyebrows: "Here?"

The ambiguous atmosphere was interrupted by the screaming of a woman in the distance. We followed the sound and saw that Stephanie was standing by the sea facing the beach and crying for help, while her male partner was struggling in the surging tide behind her.

Li Hua immediately jumped up from the chair, and said to me in an extremely calm voice: "Hurry up and call someone from the hotel."

When I came back to my senses, seeing his figure galloping towards the sea, my whole heart was suspended.The waves were whistling behind me, and I didn't dare to look back. I just ran towards the hotel with bare feet.The soles of my feet hurt from being scratched by gravel and shells. I didn't care about it and just ran forward with my head buried.

I'm afraid that if I delay for one more second, I will lose Li Hua.

A staff member came towards me. I grabbed him and told him incoherently that someone had drowned in the sea.

Thankfully, he had his walkie-talkie with him and kept calling his colleagues to come and save me as he followed me to the beach.

I didn't see how Li Hua rescued the man. The staff asked him how he was doing, but he didn't lift his head. He was lying on the ground doing artificial respiration and heart compression for him, and the sea water kept dripping from his hair. When he came down, his expression was still terribly calm, while Stephanie at the side knelt beside the man, crying like pear blossoms and rain.

The man finally woke up when the medical staff arrived and they gave him a brief examination.

"I'm scared to death, are you okay?" I held Li Hua tightly, crying in my voice.

"It's okay." He bent his lips, and his tense expression finally relaxed.

"Hey, let me help you deal with it!" A medical staff walked up to us.

I followed his gaze and saw a wound on Li Hua's leg.

"Thanks, is he okay?"

"It's nothing serious, we'll take him for another checkup later," the medical staff said in an appreciative tone while administering medicine to him, "Your first aid technique is very professional, are you a doctor?"

"No, but all my family members are doctors."

"No wonder...he was very lucky to meet you, otherwise it would be hard to say."

After the medical staff walked away, I asked Li Hua worriedly: "What's wrong with your leg?"

"It's okay, I was scratched by a stone. Let's go, I'm all soaked anyway, go back to swim?"

"You're all hurt..."

"It's just a scratch, not serious."

"Please wait a moment," Stephanie chased after her. The woman who was radiant on the big screen was in a panic at the moment, "Thank you so much, thank you for saving him."

She is nearly 1.8 meters tall, and she is almost on eye level with Li Hua, but Li Hua suppressed his smile, with a calm and self-imposing aura on his body, which made her a little timid. I have never heard him speak in such a stern tone: " See that red flag? Hopefully, in the future, you won't be making fun of your own lives and the lives of others."
