She had no intention of breaking this silence, remaining quiet, not asking where he was taking her, because she didn’t care at all – her chest was completely filled with happiness and joy. Gu Feiyang stopped the bicycle before the sea. The sea stretched endlessly, and a strong wind swept across their faces. Her long hair danced in the wind, with a whooshing sound in her ears. In the distant sea, a boat as small as a grain of rice could be seen. Waves rolled between the beach and rocks, raising countless white foam.
“Are you cold?” he turned to ask her. “No,” Mimi shook her head, her gaze burning hot, though her voice carried a slight tremor. “You’re unlucky today, encountering strong winds,” Gu Feiyang didn’t want her to encounter any more incidents and decided to strictly train her to learn how to protect herself. “How so?”
“Does her course have anything to do with the wind?” Mimi asked puzzled. “Because I want you to ride a bicycle on the beach and complete it within a time limit, and strong winds will make it especially difficult for you.” Mimi’s eyes widened in shock, “Here, I can’t possibly pedal a bike—” “‘Impossible’ is a word that sounds very unfamiliar to me,” Gufei Yang snorted from his nose. He was right, because she had just experienced his amazing leg strength; he could not only ride a bicycle on sand but also carry her. But, after all, he was a man! What could she compare with a man? “But, I didn’t finish my breakfast, and my stomach is still hungry now.” She really hadn’t eaten enough, her stomach was empty, how could she have the energy for such an exhausting physical training! “This is just an excuse for you to avoid it,” he cast an angry look at her face, very dissatisfied with her reaction. He wanted to use his authority to help her overcome all difficulties. “Master, I’m not finding an excuse to avoid it! I’m really, really hungry,” she showed an innocent expression. “Enough! In any case, you must obey my arrangements.” After putting her on the bicycle, he said heartlessly: “You must ride back and forth on the beach at least once before you can go back to eat! Start timing, get ready—” “Wait, master! Can you answer me one very small, very small question?” Mimi sighed resignedly, unable to help but secretly glance at him. “Go ahead.”
“What exactly is in the big treasure chest you and your CEO friend fished out of the sea?” “Potato pancakes, cake, fresh milk, potato pancakes, cake, fresh milk…” Mimi muttered while sweating profusely, pedaling her heavy bicycle. The strong sea wind and damp sand brought her a heavy burden. Just moments ago, she had fallen and gotten up repeatedly in the sand, going through countless failures before finally managing to get the wheels moving. However, just after starting to ride, her mind was constantly haunted by the tempting images of “potato pancakes, cake, fresh milk”.
If she hadn’t been afraid of Gu Feiyang seeing her “ugly” clothes, Mimi would never have abandoned her half-eaten breakfast, subjecting herself to such suffering. “Potato pancakes, cake, fresh milk…” Thinking of the crispy potato pancakes, the soft and delicious cake, and the rich, fragrant fresh milk made her mouth water continuously. Her mind was now filled with how to get to eat the delicious breakfast while successfully avoiding being scolded by Gu Feiyang. But her brain was so stuffed with thoughts of food that she couldn’t think flexibly at all.
Woo… how could he be so cruel! A wave of grievance rose in her heart. How could he be so heartless, making a weak woman do such intense exercise on an empty stomach? Her physical strength was almost exhausted. If a table full of delicacies were to suddenly appear before her eyes, how wonderful that would be!
“Ouch!” Exhausted from hunger, she and her bicycle fell entirely onto the beach. “Get up!”
As long as you ride back, there will be food to eat. “Gu Feiyang’s cruel and cold shout came from not far away. She looked at him. How despicable! Gu Feiyang was comfortably lying on the beach sunbathing, leisurely enjoying her pitiful and helpless “falling show”. Very good, she was starting to get angry! In fact, she just wanted to fill her stomach, but Gu Feiyang was so stingy and wouldn’t let her, forcing her to complete his mission. Moreover, the most petty thing was that he wouldn’t tell her what was in the big treasure chest! “Potato pancakes, cake. Fresh milk!” She shouted angrily, using delicious food to motivate herself. “Potato pancakes, cake, fresh milk” sparked her infinite fighting spirit – she was determined to eat them! “That’s right! As long as you persist, you can soon enjoy hot delicious food!” Gu Feiyang continued to say irritating cold words. She couldn’t help but look up and glare at him. She was really about to explode with anger. At some point, the servant not only brought a dining table, a beach umbrella, but also prepared a table full of delicious food and top-quality wine. “Insidious! Vicious! Despicable!” Mimi was so hungry that she was incoherent, muttering resentfully: “Actually eating in front of me when I’m sweating and exhausted, stimulating my weak heart. And I can only drool at the chicken leg in your hand, woo… how hateful! What a despicable man.”
“Mimi was so hungry she was about to cry, raising three fingers, solemnly and seriously saying to the sea: “Oh Sea God! I, Ouyang Mimi, am willing to bow down for five bushels of rice! If there is any kind-hearted person who can send help in my time of need and fill my flat stomach, I—Ouyang Mimi swear to the sea—will absolutely offer myself in return… No, no! I can’t suffer a loss, okay! I will definitely work like an ox or a horse to repay this great kindness!”
“Mimi! Hey hey hey! Mimi!” came Long Er’s voice, panting like an ox. She quickly turned her head, her moist eyes suddenly becoming bright as snow, “The Sea God has shown a miracle! My life-saving benefactor has arrived!”
Long Er carried a large plate of delicious food in his right hand and a big towel in his left, running towards her with a face full of smiles. “Mimi, rest a bit before continuing.” Long Er thoughtfully wiped her sweat with the towel, his eyes overflowing with adoration.
She nodded vigorously, her gaze locked on the food. “You didn’t even eat breakfast and did such intense exercise, you must be very hungry. So I instructed the chef to prepare a roast duck for you. Eat quickly, and eat your fill before continuing.”
Long Er’s considerate gentleness moved her deeply, making her nose tingle with emotion. “Long Er, you are such a good person! I’m so touched!” How fragrant! She was so moved she wanted to hug her great benefactor and cry.
