Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

The beautiful islands are set in the azure sea, making them particularly eye-catching. Looking up, clusters of cotton-like clouds cover the entire sky.

White and azure blue are colors that bring joy to the eyes.

The boundless ocean is full of mystery, making one want to explore it. This kind of activity, which combines danger and excitement, is the feeling that explorers seek.

Seagulls soared over the sea, and the sea breeze ruffled the hair of a group of people busy on the island. There was more than one group of people here to watch the sunrise; not far away, another group was setting up tents and barbecue grills.

There were both men and women there. Busy as she was, Yan Feifei glanced at the beautiful scenery in the distance and couldn't help but boast, "How was it? Was the place Auntie found okay?"

Ji Xinyu especially loves this place. It gives her the illusion of being embraced by nature, making her feel refreshed and relaxed. The air even smells of the sea breeze. "I love it. I'm already looking forward to sleeping in the tent tonight and to the sunrise tomorrow morning."

Lu Qingchen was helping to set up the tent, bending over to secure it, and teased, "Just don't oversleep."

"I won't." She rarely sleeps in unless she's extremely tired.

Since leaving the hotel for this beautiful island, Ji Xinyu has been glancing at her brother from time to time, even when she's busy.

Today, Ji Jiale has returned to normal, without the oppressive feeling and irritability of last night, but there is no smile on his face, and he still looks unapproachable.

Seeing that her brother had returned to normal, Ji Xinyu's worries dissipated somewhat.

Always with a cold face, what woman could stand her brother's expressionless face? It's freezing! Ji Xinyu thought to herself, and couldn't help but worry about her brother's marriage.

From the moment they arrived at the island, Lu Yiyue and Ji Jiale didn't exchange a single word. They kept their heads down and went about their own business.

Just as Lu Yiyue was about to move the barbecue grill, a pair of slender hands took it from her, leaving her hands empty, as if her heart had also gone empty.

Lu Yiyue looked up at him and saw that his expression was normal. He bent down and continued to work, showing no intention of speaking. Staring at his back was a little annoying.

A rebellious spirit suddenly filled every cell in Lu Yiyue's body. Her stubborn temper flared up. "Hmph, if I don't tell you to do something, I'll do it anyway!" She turned around and went to get the charcoal. There were several boxes of charcoal, and it wouldn't be heavy to carry them one by one, but she insisted on carrying them all at once.

The people setting up tents in the distance were unaware of what was happening here. They were still listening to Yan Feifei praising how great the place was, while Ji Xinyu and Lu Qingchen listened intently.

Lu Yiyue is much better today. She has regained her energy after a good night's sleep. In addition, the room attendant brought her a cup of brown sugar water early in the morning. She doesn't know if it was made by the kitchen or by him.

Sure enough, seeing her bending over and struggling to carry several boxes at once, he quickly dropped the barbecue grill, strode over, and took the charcoal from her hands. He guessed she wouldn't be so obedient, and kept an eye on her actions out of the corner of his eye.

After her belongings were taken from her, Lu Yiyue continued her work, looking around to see if there was anything heavy she could carry. Before she could find anything, a deep, silent voice from a man who had been silent all along rang out above her, "Stop looking."

Seeing that he had spoken, Lu Yiyue looked up at him triumphantly, emphasizing the first word, which attracted the attention of people in the distance. "Brother, you spoke?"

Brother? It was intentional.

Ji Jiale looked down and saw the smugness, the blatant provocation, and the cuteness in her eyes. He finally smiled and couldn't resist the urge to pat her head. After a few seconds of eye contact, he held back. "Sit down. Forget about your stomachache last night."

The two stood side by side. A few seconds later, Ji Jiale bent down and placed the things next to the barbecue grill, then got up and continued working. Lu Yiyue was helping out, and from behind, she looked like she was working diligently. Lu Qingchen glanced over and thought there was nothing wrong with it. He just felt that his father was overthinking things and diagnosed Lu Jinnan with delusions again.

After setting up the barbecue grill, Ji Jiale also set up a small table. Lu Yiyue didn't sit down but instead carefully arranged the ingredients, then suddenly asked, "Brother, is your stubbornness like your godfather's or your godmother's?"

His chest felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and he unusually retorted, "Aren't you stubborn?"

Lu Yiyue readily admitted that beneath her gentle exterior lay a stubborn heart, otherwise she wouldn't have... "I've never said I'm not stubborn, but my stubbornness depends on the situation."

Ji Jiale laughed, truly at a loss for words. "Like just now? Or the brother you mentioned?"

The two exchanged a smile, needing no words, as if they both understood. Lu Yiyue said cheerfully, "Both are true, what do you think, brother?"

Ji Jiale didn't respond to this. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to her, but that he was thinking about the future and struggling with his thoughts. She said he was stubborn, but wasn't she just as stubborn?

As the gloom dissipated, Lu Yiyue didn't care whether he answered her questions or not. If he could talk endlessly about every single question, he wouldn't be the Ji Jiale she knew.

Both of them had smiles on their lips as they went about their work. Working together as a man and a woman made the work easier and more enjoyable. There was an unknown molecule in the air surrounding them, which seemed sweet.

A few hours later.

The curtain of the sea is drawn back, and the twinkling stars come out to visit, bringing a different kind of scenery to the island, and the sea breeze becomes more and more unrestrained.

The colorful lights surrounding the island, vying with the stars in the sky, are constantly playing their part, adding color to the island and trying to present a different picture.

Ji Xinyu shrank back and stood next to her brother. Seeing that the barbecue in his hands was almost done, she took it, blew on it, and put it in her mouth, offering her opinion, "Brother, you didn't put any seasoning in it, it's bland."

Seeing that his younger sister was dressed too lightly, Ji Jiale glanced at Lu Yiyue sitting in the distance and reminded her, "Leave it for now, go inside and put on some clothes, and let Yueyue go in and put on some clothes too."

"Oh, it seems a bit cold. Could you put some chili peppers in for me? I'll go get some clothes for Yueyue."

There were two tents in total, one for the girls and one for the boys. The girls' tent was a bit bigger, and there were several energy-saving lights hanging inside.

A moment later, Ji Xinyu came out wearing a black suit jacket and carrying Lu Yiyue's coat in her hand. It was a long black cardigan, and Lu Yiyue really liked long cardigan sweaters.

"Sister Yueyue, it's getting a bit windy. Why don't you put your clothes on before skewering the skewers? Never mind, I'll do it." Lu Yiyue took a tissue to wipe her hands, took the clothes from Ji Xinyu's hand, and stood up to put them on.

Ji Xinyu moved Lu Yiyue's chair away, indicating that she didn't want Lu Yiyue to do any work. "I'll do it. You can just watch, sis. If you're bored, you can go get something to eat, or just watch us work."

Yan Feifei thought it was quite fun to come out with these kids. If she had come to see the sunrise alone, she wouldn't have bought so much stuff. There was no barbecue, so she would have just bought compressed biscuits or bread and cereal. "Yueyue, you take a rest. Let Xiaoyu and Xiaochen come. You sit here. There's a tent to keep out the wind."

Ji Xinyu was busy skewering mushrooms, completely forgetting the bite she had just taken from the barbecue. She said, "Yes, Aunt Feifei is right. Yueyue seems like the kind of gentle girl who isn't suited for heavy work. If someone marries you, they definitely won't want you to do heavy work. I'm different."

Yan Feifei was skewering vegetables, a smile playing on her lips. "Xiaoyu, you're very gentle too, just a bit more lively. If we're talking about aunties who aren't gentle, Yueyue, your mother is one of them."

Everyone laughed. What Lu Yiyue really wanted to say was that her mother also had a gentle side.

The laughter attracted Lu Qingchen, who was helping with the barbecue in the distance. He jogged over, holding a bunch of grilled skewers, and placed them on the plate in front of his sister. "What are you talking about? Aren't you going to share with me? Tell me."

Then she turned to her sister and said, "Sis, these aren't spicy. Brother Le said those who can eat spicy food should eat the spicy food, and those who can't should eat these."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiyue smiled slightly, picked up a non-spicy meat skewer and stuffed it into her mouth. The others also stopped what they were doing to get some food.

Yan Feifei couldn't help but praise, "Look, Lele has a gentle side too. This barbecue is pretty good. You can't judge a book by its cover." She's much better than Ji Hancheng. "Lele, take a rest for a while, then come and eat with us."

Ji Jiale: "Mm."

Ji Xinyu wholeheartedly agreed with Yan Feifei's words. After thinking for a moment, she said, "My brother is actually very gentle. Sometimes even my dad isn't as gentle as my brother. When Hanhan and I had our periods, my brother would always help us make brown sugar water. It tasted so good, really. I just wonder which woman will be lucky enough to have it in the future."

Lu Qingchen opened her mouth wide in disbelief, as if she had heard something incredible. Completely incredulous, she asked doubtfully, "Really? Brother Le knows this skill?"

"Really? I'm kidding you. My brother is so good to us." He even took a knife for her last time. He just doesn't know how to talk about it. He's never the type to brag about what he's done in front of others; he always keeps it to himself.

Lu Yiyue, who had just tasted the brown sugar water made by the man everyone praised last night, began to feel a flush in her ears. She silently lowered her head and ate her barbecue, trying to minimize her presence.

Lu Yiyue lowered her head, recalling the taste of the brown sugar water from last night; it seemed quite delicious.

Lu Qingchen noticed that her sister's ears were red and asked with concern, "Sister, are you hot? Your ears are all red."

Lu Yiyue covered it up by saying, "Yeah, I probably wore too many clothes. Xiaoyu just got me a jacket."

Yan Feifei, who has never been in a relationship: Does getting redness from the ears when you're too hot from wearing too many clothes?

Before anyone could say anything, Ji Jiale walked over carrying a full plate of barbecue. Just as he reached them, another group of girls who had been watching the sunrise approached from a distance. Uninvited, they greeted him warmly, "Hi, handsome, can I try some of your barbecue?"

Lu Yiyue turned to look at him. Everyone was waiting for Ji Jiale's answer. As a gentleman, the generous Lu Qingchen felt that he couldn't refuse the pretty girl's low request at this time.

They weren't petty people. The girl in front of them was very pure-looking, with big eyes, and quite cute. Lu Qingchen was about to answer when Ji Jiale interrupted her, refusing without any mercy or tenderness, "I never grill for others."

For some reason, Lu Yiyue breathed a sigh of relief, while Lu Qingchen felt that Brother Le was unreasonable and stingy for not granting such a small request.

He thought that after such a thorough rejection, the girl would leave on her own. But to his surprise, the next second, she handed her phone to Ji Jiale. On the screen was a QR code, and the girl said sweetly, "I can skip the barbecue, but let's add each other on WeChat. More friends, more happiness."

Everyone: Are all girls these days so direct?
