Chapter 16: Friendship

  Sitting on the beach, watching the distant cruise ship slowly disappear over the horizon. She felt a sudden emptiness in her heart, as if she had lost something precious, accompanied by a sense of loss and unease.

  I don't know how long I sat there, but the lively beach gradually quieted down, leaving only a few strolling and frolicking couples.

  "Has he left, my brother?" He Tiantian panted as she ran over and gently patted her shoulder from behind. Her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, her mouth pursed in discontent.

  Looking back, she saw He Tian's sweet and lovely appearance, and he hooked his lips with a smile. "Hmm! Just left. Why are you coming now?"

  "It's still not Ou Fei Ya! That slowpoke, I'm going to beat him up so badly his own father won't recognize him." She stomped her foot in anger, her face still flushed with a suspicious red glow.

  "Oh? Are you willing to hit him?" Lan Ruo Xue blinked her big eyes and teased her with a smile.

  "You're bullying me again, when my brother comes back, I'll definitely tell him." He Tiantian glared at her, her face flushing with embarrassment.

  "Haha...... Sweetie, you're really so much fun!" Lan Ruo Xue saw the flushed cheeks of He Tian Tian and burst out laughing. The gloom just now was also swept away.

  He Xiantian hooked a sly smile, raised her hands to her mouth and blew a breath, reaching for her waist. "Ruo Yu, you rascal, all you know is how to bully me, just wait and see how I'll deal with you. Hehe..."

  "Ah…… no! Haha…… I'm ticklish, Sweetie please spare me. I don't dare anymore. Ha. Ha……” Lan Ruo Xue was most afraid of being tickled by others, she laughed and desperately dodged her hand. In her past life, every time she playfully teased her brother, he would use this trick, leaving her with no choice but to surrender.

  He Xiangxiang stopped her hands, still placed on her waist, looking at her bright red face, and asked with a grin: "Know my power now? Hehe... see if you dare next time?"

  Lan Ruoxi stood up with a mischievous smile in her eyes, solemnly raised her hand and stretched out four fingers, coaxing: "I promise to behave, I won't bully Sweetie again."

  "What's going on? You're teasing me again, see if I forgive you." She pretended to be angry, stomping her feet as she chased after Lan Ruoxue, who was making funny faces at her from ahead.

  Lan Ruoxi ran in one direction, while turning her head back to face He Tiantian who was chasing after her. She made a playful face and said: "Hoo-hoo... If you don't run, you're an idiot! Come on, chase me!"

  "Hey, you bad guy, don't run!" The two of them laughed and played, frolicking on the beach.

  The sun sets in the west, and the remaining sunlight shines on the sea surface, dyeing the azure sea surface a deep red.

  Two tired people sat back-to-back, listening to the sound of the waves and admiring the beauty of the sunset.

  He Xiangxiang couldn't help but be infected by the beautiful scenery in front of her, and with a dazed gaze at the distant red sun, she murmured: "The sunset is infinitely good, only near dusk!"

  "Who would have thought that our lovely Sweetie also has a sentimental side?" Lan Ruo Xue teased her with a gentle smile.

  He Xiantian turned around, pouting and complaining: "Ruo Yu, you've ruined the mood I just managed to cultivate."

  Lan Ruo stood up with a radiant smile, brushed off the sand on her clothes, and pulled her hand. "Alright, stop pouting, we can hang the oil bottle now. The sun is about to set, let's head home."

  He Xiantian had a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth, and she glanced at him with dissatisfaction. She let out a hypocritical sigh. "Alas! Thinking about it, I'm really unlucky! Being bullied to death by you, who knows if I'll become the most unfortunate little sister in history!"

  Lan Ruo's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, her slender fingers supporting her chin as she thought seriously. "Really? Then I'll wait for your brother to come back and tell him to cancel the engagement."

  "Ahh? Don't! My brother will kill me! Please, future sister-in-law, I was wrong!" He Tiantian said with a flattering tone, running to her back and massaging her shoulders and back with a fawning expression.

  "Alright! I forgive you. Let's go!" Lan Ruoxue pulled her hand and they walked forward, or else the moon would have come out if they continued playing.

  "Wait a minute!" He Tiantian rummaged through her small bag for half a day and pulled out a white envelope, handing it to her. "I almost forgot about this, Nuo! This was given to me by my brother last night, he told me to give it to you after he left. Maybe it's a love letter, hehe..."

  "A letter?" Lan Ruoxue took it with a puzzled expression and put it into her pocket.

  "Huh? Why aren't you looking now? I'm dying of curiosity." He Tiantian complained with a disappointed face.

  "Curiosity killed the cat." He pulled her hand and continued walking forward. Strange, why didn't Ye personally give it to her?
