It was already sunset, and the sea was dyed a golden yellow. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, she was not in the mood to appreciate it. She wanted to go back, as she did not want to be with this dangerous person again.

"It looks like we might have to spend the night on the island tonight." Ji Junyang's voice came from behind.

Qian Xun turned around and glared at him. "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Ji Junyang didn't deny it.

Qian Xun turned around and faced him, "What exactly do you want from me? Body? "I believe that there are a lot of beautiful women who throw themselves at you. Why do you have to put so much effort into me? I am not your plate."

The sea breeze blurred his handsome face, and his voice was low, confused, distant and close, "I also want to know, what exactly attracted me, I don't know … …" "It's been five years. You are the first woman to give me such a strong feeling. Girl …"

He looked into her eyes, so serious, so passionate like the lotus blossoming on a summer night.

Qian Xun was on the verge of sinking in. With a 'girl's cry', her heart skipped a beat. She was on the verge of tears, but it was as if a pair of invisible hands was tugging at her rationality.

How weak she was. She wanted to love, but didn't dare to love. She didn't even dare to take a small step towards him.

"Is that all? I'm not interested in you rich people trying to trick women. " Her face was cold, as if she was extremely impatient, as she interrupted his words.

Ji Junyang was a little disappointed. He only frowned at her, but his expression was one of disgust towards playboys. He couldn't find any other clues. Wen QianXun, do you think you're too good at hiding or am I wrong?

The sky gradually darkened, and Qian Xun paced back and forth on the beach somewhat irritably. No matter where he went, he would maintain a safe distance of a few meters away from him.

It was hard to tell if her phone had broken in the hotel or if it was a signal from the island. As for his, he simply didn't have it on him. It wasn't intentional.

She wasn't worried about being trapped on this small island. Since Ji Junyang was doing this on purpose, there would naturally be people coming to help. However, on a deserted island, it was always different when a man and a woman spent the night together.

Ji Junyang casually lied down on the beach, folded his hands behind his head, and said, "Don't wander around anymore. Actually, staying overnight here is also not bad. At night, we can look at the stars, listen to the sound of the waves, and wake up tomorrow to watch the sunrise. "

Sunrise...

He always remembered that in those dark days, she had been lying on his chest, slanted and fed up. "When your eyes are good, I'll take you to see the sunrise on the Fairy Mountain. I heard that you can see a meter of sunlight there." Legend has it that once people who have seen a meter of sunlight, the deities on the Celestial Maiden Mountain will bless them with the most perfect sunshine of love in the world. "

He kissed her hair and smiled at her. "Aren't you an atheist? Why do you believe that there's a god in this world? "

She gave him a playful punch. "A wooden fish head. It doesn't understand romance."

He took her hand and kissed her lips. "My romance is to be able to see you every day, to be with you for the rest of your life."

Then his eyes lit up, but she did not keep her promise. More than once he had climbed to the top of the Fairies' Peak alone and seen the sunrise, but had not seen that one meter of sunlight.

After all, she had lied to him.

Little liar.

But what had she lied to him about? She didn't want money, she didn't want power, she didn't want anything except that his heart had been stolen by her.

He still couldn't understand what that woman's heart was made of.

Qian Xun gave a cold snort. "I really didn't expect Director Ji to be so interested. Aren't you afraid we'll catch a cold tonight?"

Ji Junyang turned his head to look at her, "A girl's body is very thin, she can't withstand the wind. I don't mind lending you my hug. It's free."

"I'm afraid of me, there will be a price to pay." Qian Xun tried his best to stay awake and resist the temptation of that embrace. She also wanted to hug him well.

The stars in the sky twinkled more clearly as the night approached, like diamonds hanging there.

It was dark and the wind rustled through the trees like insects gnawing at leaves. The coolness of the air gradually seeped into his skin and into his heart.

Qian Xun was tired from walking back and forth. He sat down on the beach and hugged his legs tightly. He would be lying if he said that he wasn't afraid of the dark.

Anthea was so young, she liked to watch the animal world. It was one thing to watch the animal world, but she liked to watch all kinds of python-like programs. He remembered that there was a type of python called a water python that would often burrow into swamps or wandering islands. It had a long, powerful body, and it would wrap around a large prey until it died before swallowing it whole.

Upon thinking about it, goosebumps rose all over Qian Xun's body.

"Ji Junyang …"

"Hmm?"

"..." Is there any snake or something on this island? "

"Are you afraid?"

"…" Qian Xun was silent.

He was afraid, but didn't want to admit it in front of him.

Suddenly, he felt something climb up from his body. All of the hairs on his body stood up. He waved his arms and legs around as he screamed, "Ah …"

"Don't be afraid, it's me." He held her in his arms as if he had done it a thousand times.

Qian Xun patted his chest as he quieted down, and a fist landed on his shoulder. "Are you trying to scare me to death by acting so noiselessly?"

"I thought you weren't afraid of the heavens or the earth. Who would've thought that just a slight scare would cause you to become so confused." She couldn't see his expression in the darkness, but she could hear that her fear satisfied his good mood.

"Childish." Qian Xun rewarded him with a single word. He wanted to push her away, but he held her even tighter.

"Don't move, let me hug you for a moment, just for a moment." There was a hint of confusion and hoarseness in that voice, as if it was a plea.

For some inexplicable reason, Qian Xun's heart softened. He could only lean stiffly into Shi Yan's embrace.

Ji Junyang gently smiled, "You don't have to be so nervous. Although I'm not a man of honor, I still have a special feeling towards you. I don't want to hurt you. If you don't want to, I won't do anything out of line. "

In the darkness, they could not see each other's expressions. Qian Xun gradually removed the coldness and strangeness from his face and stealthily brought his face close to his chest. He greedily breathed in the unique smell of a man that belonged to him, just like the faint smell of tobacco.

It would be great if he could stay here for a while longer.

"Wen QianXun, do you know of a place called the Lotus Pond?"

"There's one in the western suburbs of River City's university. I wonder if you're talking about that."

"You've been there?"

Of course, there are a lot of lotus ponds there. When the lotus blossoms, the scenery there is especially beautiful, and when the lotus seeds ripen, my classmate and I often go there to steal lotus seeds to eat. Once, we even fell into the water when the boat was not sitting steadily.

Her answer seemed to be watertight, and she didn't evade. She even asked him, "Why does Director Ji ask about this? Could it be that that place has a special meaning to you? "

"There, I was tricked into taking the most important thing. You said it had no special meaning."

You can't see each other's faces, but Qian Xun felt that his eyes were penetrating with power. His heart trembled, "Director Ji is such a smart person, but how could you be deceived by others? It's really quite surprising. "

"What about you? Have you ever been deceived by others, or been deceived by others? "

His question was very casual, but Qian Xun felt as though he was being pushed down step by step.

Ji Junyang, why do you have to go through all this trouble?

You already have a fiancée, and in the spring you will be married. The happy news has already spread throughout the world. She is so beautiful, capable, and of good family background. She can support your career and help the Ji clan stand firm on its feet.

Even if I told you that I'm the girl you're looking for, what would that change? Your mom doesn't like me...

"Why aren't you talking?"

After his train of thought was interrupted, Qian Xun smiled bitterly, "What are you talking about? In this life, a person will fall for a few tricks and tell a few lies." Only after having been cheated would they learn to grow up, and a lie could also be a good one. "I can't say that I'm a good person, but I've never been one.

"Is that so?" His indifferent tone seemed to be pondering something, but in the end, he released her and said, "Let's go."

Qian Xun was stunned. He felt a sense of relief from being hugged so tightly, but a strange feeling of emptiness arose in his heart. "Where are you going?"

"Do you really want to sit here all night and catch a cold the next day? "Then it would be a great sin on my part."

[Has this man finally found out?]

With the help of the starlight, Qian Xun followed him as he walked along the soft sand of the beach.

When he stopped, there was no sign, so much so that she didn't even have time to stop and smash her head into his strong back.

Fortunately, he managed to turn around in time to support her waist so she wouldn't fall, but she still couldn't help but rub her nose where it hurt.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine." She didn't want to appear weak in front of him due to this little bit of pain, but her nose really hurt. His back didn't look like it was made of meat, right? It looked like it was made of stone, Qian Xun thought as he rubbed his nose.

A beam of light suddenly lit up.

The blinding light caused her to squint. It took her a long time to adjust to the light, and she discovered that it was coming from a portable charging light.

It turned out that he had taken her to the side of the strange rocks, where a tent had been set up on the ground.

Just one, nothing more.

Ji Junyang bent over and entered the tent, then stuck his head out again, "What are you waiting for? Why aren't you coming in?"

A single man and a single woman, how could they possibly spend the night here?

Just thinking about it made him angry. This man was obviously someone who had planned things out one step at a time.

Ji Junyang seemed to have seen through her thoughts and lightly smiled, "Don't worry, I won't eat you. On the other hand, on this island, I heard that there are pythons coming and going, that they eat people without spitting out their bones."

Despite knowing that he was trying to intimidate her, the hairs on Qian Xun's body stood on end. It was as though he could hear the sound of a bloody snake hissing. His huge mouth was waiting for an opportunity in the darkness. Goosebumps erupted all over her body.

Compared to those terrifying cold-blooded reptiles, the man in front of them felt slightly more at ease.
