President, please comfort me.

Around 10 o'clock, everyone gradually returned to the hotel and met at the entrance.

During lunch break, Wen Qi and Xiao He were in their respective rooms. Now that it was public, Xiao He naturally wouldn't allow Wen Qi to leave his sight. After all, he was licensed to do this, and he blatantly led her into his room in front of everyone.

Tang Chao wasn't as assertive as him, and fearing that Lanling would be embarrassed, he escorted her to the door, gave her several instructions, and then left.

Tang Yue's wound was shallow, and she didn't want everyone to worry, so she kept quiet. After Yang Xu treated it, she was fine. The two played games for a while, then went back to their rooms to wash up and went to bed early.

Yang Xu popped up in the group: @Lanling "doge.jpg" I thought Tang Chao was going to propose to you today, it gave me a big fright.

Chen Nuo quickly followed up with a reply: "I thought so too." [Confused.jpg]

Wen Qi wholeheartedly agreed: Hahaha, I was dumbfounded too. [Speechless.jpg]

Lanling finally finished editing the photos she took today and slowly appeared with the caption: "I'm scared.jpg". We've only been together for a month, what are you all thinking?

Yang Xu: Seriously, especially when he pulled out his birthday present, I almost believed him!

Lanling: ...

Chen Nuo: "Silent and speechless.jpg"

Wen Qi: "Don't give me that.jpg" Don't tell me you didn't think of that?

Lanling: "Walking on my tiptoes.jpg"

Yang Xu suddenly asked: Um, what did you and Tang Yue talk about in secret today?

Lanling: I told her I'd introduce her to a boyfriend.

Yang Xu: "Zun Du Jia Du.jpg"

He pressed on: "Sister Lan, what do you think of me?" [Frowning.jpg]

Chen Nuo: Hmm?

Wen Qi: "Ten shocked faces.jpg"

Yang Xu: "shy.jpg" I like her!

Lanling: You old rascal, you're so wicked. When did you take a fancy to my sister?

Wen Qi: You old rascal, you're so wicked. When did you take a fancy to my sister?

Chen Nuo: You old rascal, you're so wicked. When did you take a fancy to my sister?

Yang Xu was a little excited: "Haven't you noticed that she fits my criteria for a partner perfectly? She's well-behaved, cute, innocent, and adorable."

Lanling never expected to actually find such a cute girl for Yang Xu. She thought the two were quite a good match, but she wondered what Tang Chao's reaction would be, hahaha.

She replied with "evil grin.jpg". Okay, I got it.

Chen Nuo encouraged him: Keep it up!

Wen Qi was also amused. These people really know how to keep the good stuff in the family: I'm rooting for you!

Judging from their recent interactions, Yang Xu seems quite confident: "Wait for my good news, evbd." [Image of Yang Xu striving for success]

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, Tang Chao couldn't wait to get up, holding the necklace he had carefully designed for Lanling.

Tang Chao carefully opened the door and walked slowly into Lanling's room. He placed the box containing the necklace next to the bedside, then sat quietly on a chair beside her, gazing at her with eyes full of love.

Seeing Lanling lying obediently on the bed, sleeping peacefully, Tang Chao couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to move closer. He gently sat on the edge of the bed, leaned down slightly, and admired Lanling's beautiful face up close, feeling her soft breathing.

Without thinking, he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Lanling was still sleeping soundly, like a cute little pig, showing no signs of waking up.

Tang Chao watched her quietly, as if time had stood still, and he was immersed in this tranquility and beauty.

Around 8 o'clock, Lanling finally turned over, slowly opened her eyes, and woke up from her sweet dream.

Lanling stretched and looked at the man in front of her with some surprise. She rubbed her eyes and asked softly, "A-Chao, what are you doing here?"

Tang Chao smiled, his eyes and brows filled with a doting smile: "I've come to give you a gift."

"What gift? Didn't I give it to you yesterday?"

"And what's this? How did you end up buying that store in Haidao Garden? And my name is listed as the buyer!" Lanling suddenly remembered this before going to bed last night. When she opened it, she was shocked to find it was a purchase contract.

"If you like it, I bought it. Besides, yesterday's gift was a birthday present; I haven't given her the other gift yet." Tang Chao smiled and gestured for her to look to the side.

When Lanling turned her head and saw the box on the bedside table, she was instantly wide awake. Curious and puzzled, she picked up the box, opened it, and found a beautiful necklace inside.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lanling's eyes. She carefully took out the necklace and examined every detail of it with great care, her heart filled with joy and emotion.

She licked her lips and said shyly, "I didn't prepare a gift for you."

"Just be good and don't make a fuss," Tang Chao said with a gentle smile, rubbing her chin.

"I didn't," Lanling said coquettishly, then shyly lunged forward and hugged Tang Chao tightly. Her heartbeat was clearly audible, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

"Shall I put it on for you?" Tang Chao caught her steadily and asked softly.

"Mm." Lanling nodded and handed the necklace to Tang Chao. Her gaze fell on Tang Chao, her eyes filled with undisguised gleam.

After spending some time together, at nine o'clock, Lanling took Tang Chao's arm and they went to have breakfast.

Since everyone was there, Ye Lin, wearing orange beach shorts and a white T-shirt, with sunglasses on his head, suggested, "How about we go play some recreational volleyball on the beach?"

Tang Yue and Lan Ling were overjoyed and raised their hands in agreement: "Great! Let's go!"

Xiao He lowered his head slightly and looked at Wen Qi beside him. He saw that she had a happy expression on her face and was full of energy. He said, "Let's go."

The others naturally agreed without question, as they were just worried about not having any entertainment. They all stood up and walked briskly toward the beach.

Including A Biao and A Chen, there were ten people in total. Separated by the volleyball net, Xiao He spoke first: "How about we bet something? Just playing without any real action isn't very interesting."

Ye Lin had suffered a lot at Xiao He's hands, and now he couldn't figure out what Xiao He was up to. But one thing he was sure of was that it was always right to side with Xiao He, and he might even be able to get some benefits from it.

His mind raced, and he became incredibly expectant: "Traffic jam? What kind of traffic jam?"

The warm and gentle sunlight shone on Xiao He's handsome face, his deep eyes and high, straight nose making him even more striking than male college students.

Whether it was premeditated or a spur-of-the-moment decision, he looked at Wen Qi with a clear purpose: "5V5, the winner can make a request to a designated person from the losing team."

Tang Chao understood and nodded: "Okay, the four girls will split into two pairs."

So Ye Lin immediately started choosing his teammates: "I'll team up with Brother Xiao."

Just as Xiao He's die-hard fan, Abiao, was about to speak, Xiao He, for the sake of fairness, immediately began assigning tasks: "Abiao, you go over to the Tang Dynasty side, Xiaoyue, come here."

When Tang Yue heard Xiao He mention her, she panicked a little. Although her mind was still a bit fuzzy, she had already taken a step forward and hurriedly ran over to stand next to him: "Okay, Brother He."

At this point, Ye Lin smiled contentedly, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought, so clever of me."

Obviously, the final result is: Xiao He, Ye Lin, A Chen, Lan Ling, Tang Yue VS Wen Qi, Chen Nuo, A Biao, Tang Chao, Yang Xu.
