Dong Lijia froze on hearing what she said.
She was right. She said the road condition in the post-apocalyptic era wasn't suitable for sports cars at all. Besides, gasoline would become rather precious. Sports cars were highly fuel-consuming, so no one would want them.
Besides, no one would be maintaining the roads after the apocalypse. Many roads were broken, occupied by zombies, garbage, or piles of sand.
"What? There's no way he'd give up on that car! Impossible! If you're number one important in his heart, the car is number two. Even Mr. and Mrs. Dong rank behind the car. How can he ever give up on the car?" Luo Yuanjun suddenly showed up and put an arm around Dong Lijia's shoulders as he looked at Lin Wenwen and spoke.
Lin Wenwen gave him a smile, then turned away from him. As she started to ignore him again, Luo Yuanjun immediately continued, "Am I not right?"
Dong Lijia dragged Luo Yuanjun's arm off his own neck and said, "Alright, you're right. Let's get going!"
He walked toward his Lamborghini while speaking.
Lin Wenwen walked down the stairs together with him while saying, "Sell this useless thing as soon as you can and get a few off-road cars. Those will be much more useful than this."
Her words were like a dagger piercing into Dong Lijia's heart. He just looked at her sullenly and stayed silent. Behind them, Luo Yuanjun burst in screams. "Whoa! Fat Ball! You are so cruel! You actually told Jiajia to sell his wife!"
Dong Lijia sat into the driver's seat while Lin Wenwen took the front seat. He watched Lin Wenwen smoothly buckle herself up, then turned to glance at the suitcases, which were put in the backseat by the guards. After that, he looked at Luo Yuanjun, who was still outside, and said, "Hurry up."
Then, he started the car and drove away.
One and half-hour later, the sports cars were parked at the gate of a fancy beach hotel in the neighbor city. Those sports cars immediately attracted the eyes of many tourists nearby. Then, people saw a group of young boys and girls get off those cars, all tall and slim, perfectly beautiful and handsome. Some school girls, who took the summer vacation to go to the city for travel, were even stunned.
Qin Jiao took off her sunglasses and turned to glance at the others, then upturned her lips as she walked into the hotel with a confident smile. By her side, Lin Yuehui raised a hand and flipped her bangs and straight, long hair. Only after that did she pick up her purse and cat-walked into the hotel in her heels. The other girl gave them a glimpse, then rolled her eyes slightly and followed the others into the hotel.
"Oi, let's take some rest in our own rooms. Don't forget to come downstairs for seafood tonight," Luo Yuanjun waved at the others, then asked the hotel staff to show him his room. The hotel had a lot of rooms, so they booked a room each. Lin Wenwen looked around the lobby, then followed the guards toward her room. Mr. Dong agreed to let her and her brother come out for the journey. But for safety, they still brought bodyguards.
The room was luxuriously decorated, and the balcony had a great sea view. At that moment, the sun was sinking already, so the sunset could be seen in a short while.
'Is this the sea?' Dong Xinxin exclaimed in Lin Wenwen's head, 'It's really not the same as what I saw from TV and computer. It's vast!'
Lin Wenwen walked to the balcony and leaned against the guardrail as she said, "Sadly, you can't control your own body yet. Walking on a sunset beach is very enjoyable."
The warm and moist sea breeze felt salty and soothing. The weather was still pretty hot though.
"Thankfully, we're not in Hainan. That place is hot enough to drive people crazy in July and August," Lin Wenwen added.
"Really?" Dong Xinxin asked her with curiosity.
"Of course!" said Lin Wenwen, "The sun is scorching hot there!"
After spending a short while standing on the balcony, Lin Wenwen got changed and picked up her phone and earplugs, then went downstairs. She quickly walked out of the hotel and moved toward the beach.
Many people were on the beach, either swimming in the sea or playing with the waves in shallow areas. Lin Wenwen walked on the soft beach step by step.
On the seaside terrace, Qin Jiao and Lin Yuehui saw a short and fat person walking on the beach. "That person seems a little familiar. Is that Dong Xinxin?"
The two of them squinted to carefully look at that person. At last, they confirmed that was indeed her.
"Why is she going so far away alone?" Qin Jiao said, "It's still sunny. The sun is setting soon, but it's still hot there."
Lin Yuehui gave an elegant smile, then flipped her hair and said, "She's so fat. Of course, she's not afraid of the sunshine. Do you think she was really working out earlier at her home today?"
Qin Jiao recalled seeing Dong Xinxin earlier at Dong Family's mansion. Dong Xinxin seemed to have just finished some heavy exercise back then. Qin Jiao slightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows and said, "I think so based on what we saw. Why did she suddenly decide to lose weight? Did something happen? I don't think we've ever called her fat… Only Young Master Luo likes to do that."
Normally, fat people exercised to lose weight.
Lin Yuehui smiled scornfully and said, "I wonder how long it'll take her to lose all the fat she has. I guess no personal trainer would want a guest like her, hehe."
Qin Jiao laughed as well. "But look at her," she said, "She's short and fat. She seems to be growing sideward!"
"Do you think she'll agree to go swimming with us tomorrow?" Lin Yuehui said smilingly.
"I wouldn't if I were her," Qin Jiao shrugged and said, "She might not even find a swimsuit in her size. She can go down into the water wearing her usual clothes though. But, imagine how the clothes will stick to your skin. I'll never do that."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they looked at Lin Wenwen from time to time. They saw her walk under a tree, then start to stretch her body.
"Look, look, she's warming up. What is she going to do?" Qin Jiao abruptly tilted her head and looked at Lin Wenwen as she said with surprise.
"I don't know," Lin Yuehui turned to that direction as well and said.
At that moment, Lin Wenwen was bending over to stretch her legs under a tree. After that, she walked to the beach and started jogging from a relatively quiet area.
"She's jogging!" said Qin Jiao with surprise.
"Does she really want to lose weight?" Lin Yuehui thought and said.
"I guess!" Qin Jiao responded after a short silence.
