Chapter 248

Shen Wei had a bountiful seafood harvest that day.

Basket after basket of shrimp, along with two yellow croakers.

These two yellow croakers were said to be wild-caught and quite valuable.

If they wanted to sell them, they could directly sell them to the boat captain.

But they didn't sell, planning to keep them for themselves to eat.

They brought the seafood to the hotel and had the hotel process it, preparing for a full seafood feast.

The dishes here weren't as delicious as those made by Chef Liu.

But because the ingredients were so incredibly fresh, caught and eaten on the same day,

The seafood was exquisitely delicious.

Both of them ended up stuffing themselves successfully.

In the evening, they booked an aromatherapy spa. Their entire bodies experienced unprecedented relaxation.

Shen Wei put on a face mask and planned to catch up on a TV series.

But then came a knock on the door from Gu Qingyan outside.

Shen Wei opened the door to find Gu Qingyan holding a large bouquet of fresh flowers from who-knows-where.

Shen Wei was pleasantly surprised.

Gu Qingyan said, "I didn't know what else to buy!" Besides the flowers, he had also bought a necklace.

He had purchased it from a jewelry store on the small island.

They only had ordinary gold here. He had spent the entire afternoon carefully selecting it.

He had even secretly engraved their initials on it.

This little trick wouldn't be noticeable unless one looked closely.

Shen Wei said, "Thank you!"

Gu Qingyan was still a bit embarrassed: "Next time, I'll get you a diamond one, or the biggest and best jade one!"

For now, on this island, Shen Wei would have to make do with this.

Seeing that it was still early, Gu Qingyan said, "Let's go watch a movie first, then go to the night market for some barbecue skewers."

That's what his travel guide had suggested.

"Alright," Shen Wei agreed readily.

But this time, Gu Qingyan hadn't done his homework well.

The cinema was only showing old movies.

They had seen most of them, except for one horror movie.

Gu Qingyan was a bit scared.

Shen Wei noticed him keep glancing at the horror movie poster and said, "Why don't we watch this one!"

Gu Qingyan's face changed immediately, but not wanting to seem unmanly, he said, "Okay!"

He forced himself to watch.

This completely diverged from the topic Doctor Lu was trying to guide them towards.

Why couldn't they understand?

The hint was already quite obvious: something was going on between those two.

But the others didn't get it.

Doctor Lu had to forcefully suppress his gossip-filled heart and casually asked, "Hey, what's Gu Qingyan up to?"

Gu Qingyan used to work in engineering and was often absent.

He would only come to deliver bird's nest soup and other supplements when Shen Wei was around.

Doctor Lu reminded everyone like this, hoping they would notice something unusual.

But everyone just looked around, noticed Gu Qingyan wasn't there, and said, "Oh, he must be busy!"

They didn't think anything of it.

Doctor Lu was truly speechless with these people.

Such a juicy piece of gossip was right in front of them, but no one could see it.

He really felt like he was the only sober one among a crowd of drunks.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Qingyan was a bit reluctant to go back to work.

He said to Shen Wei, unwilling to part, "Can I continue to ask you out to play?"

Shen Wei said, "If there's enough time, sure."

Only then did Gu Qingyan cheer up.

After returning, he posted all the photos from these days on his social media.

He could post a maximum of 99 photos at a time, so he posted several sets of 99 photos.

He also took a photo of him and Shen Wei holding hands, placing it as the last "easter egg" photo.

Gu Qingyan's followers already knew that when he posted, it was definitely to show off his time with Shen Wei.

But this time was special.

He posted all seaside scenery, sea motorcycles, and snack foods.

It looked too normal.

But the photos seemed endless.

So someone commented: "We know you went on a trip."

"You're wasting all our data on these photos, that's too much."

Gu Qingyan thought this wouldn't do, they hadn't seen his most crucial photo yet, so he re-edited the post, putting the hand-holding photo as the first one.

Sure enough, when the netizens saw it, they were immediately stunned: "No way, bro. It's not what I think it is, right?"

Gu Qingyan posted a smug emoji saying: It's exactly what you think.

The netizens couldn't believe that this steel-straight guy could find a girlfriend, especially someone as high-quality as Shen Wei.

Some netizens directly broke down: "Rival in love, draw your swords!"

Gu Qingyan sat happily in front of his phone, swaying back and forth, feeling the joy of a small scheme succeeding.
