Once they finished laughing, Xiao Yunhua and Qiang Yue went to the small shack on beach to enjoy a snack-like breakfast .

The two spoke more and more, getting to know each other well .

They played, as suggested by Xiao Yunhua, a game of twenty questions . She got to know his favorite food, and he got to know hers .

She got to know his favorite color, and he got to know hers .

Then, after deciding that they've wasted enough silly questions, Xiao Yunhua boldly asked the man if he had a girlfriend .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntShe knew he didn't, but she just needed the confirmation . As expected, the man was fl.u.s.tered .

But in the end, he shook his head . "Don't have much time to date . On duty twenty-four-seven . "

Xiao Yunhua nodded . He fired the question back at her, and she honestly answered . "I did date, but he and I broke it off . "

Their questions seemed like they were on a first date . And by how much they both enjoyed it, their 'first date' was going very well .

Qiang Yue hesitated on asking her his next question, but he asked anyways . He asked her how long they were together .

Hearing the question, Xiao Yunhua panicked on the inside . If she were to say that they were together for a long time and broke it off very recently, then he would surely a.s.sume that she was using him as a rebound .

Instead, she decided on a small white lie .

"For a month or so . Broke it off a long time ago . " The more she lied, the more uncomfortable she felt . She despised being lied to, yet here she was, being a hypocrite .

The man had chosen to be honest in regards to her grandmother's condition, yet here she stood, lying, in return .

Ignoring the hammering guilt, she smiled and their conversation continued .

Finally, it was the afternoon . Qiang Yue couldn't continue to hide his exhaustion, so he decided to tell her that he desperately needed a rest .

Xiao Yunhua saw that she hindered his rest and slightly panicked, but the doctor rea.s.sured her that it was alright and no harm was done .

Bidding Qiang Yue goodbye, Xiao Yunhua was sitting alone in the snack shack, sipping on a tropical smoothie .

Feeling the stares of strangers and no longer able to endure, Xiao Yunhua stood up and went to the restroom . She took off her sundress and only her swimsuit remained .

After enduring the hot sun for so long, it was about time that she went for a swim in the water .

She left the restrooms and felt l.u.s.tful eyes p.r.i.c.king her skin . No matter if it was her performing or her in a swimsuit, Xiao Yunhua felt uncomfortable with the constant, l.u.s.tful stares being thrown at her .

This problem, she never had to deal with in her past lifetime .

And despite secretly enjoying the attention as she was now beautiful, deep in her heart, she was still an insecure eighteen year old girl .

She may have aged, but mentally, she was too emotionally naïve to deal with many things .

Xiao Yunhua's small side bag couldn't contain her sundress nor could she couldn't leave it on the sand as she swam because it could be stolen .

Instead, she asked the employee running the snack shack if he could watch her things for her .

As a young, hot-blooded man, he could only nod his head yes after seeing her charming smile .

With the ease of knowing her things were safe, Xiao Yunhua walked towards the water .
