At the moment the man spoke, the waves gradually increased, and the rain intensified. In this moment of disaster, when Ye Sang should not have been able to hear his voice clearly, every word of the man’s low, steady voice was imprinted clearly on Ye Sang’s eardrums.
Seeing him in a daze, the man remained expressionless, pulling his hand onto the life raft and saying, “We can take turns resting to conserve energy, at least until rescue arrives.”
Whether it was the man’s calm demeanor or the reassuring feeling from his generous palm, even the stiff and painful cramp in Ye Sang’s left hand gradually subsided. Ye Sang looked into the man’s deep, ocean-like eyes and nodded passively.
Seeing his emotions gradually calming down, the man hooked his little finger, gently rubbing it twice in a soothing manner, without a hint of flirtation. Yet, Ye Sang felt as if an electric current surged through him, causing his scalp to tingle instantly.

Ye Sang was awakened by the heat. He opened his eyes slightly and saw nothing but a vast expanse of white, reflecting sand, emitting a wave of heat. His tender cheeks pressed against the scorching white sand felt like being grilled. He struggled to prop himself up, only to find his whole body aching.

In a daze, he looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings: the brilliant sunlight, the swaying palm tree shadows, the pristine and colorful white sand, and the shimmering waves… What shipwreck? This must be a dream! I’m still on the private beach of that upscale resort, and Xiao Fang must be fetching me a strawberry cocktail… It must be, haha…

Ye Sang had spent 26 years with the majority of his physical activity confined to his bed, always opting for elevators over stairs, and ensuring the air conditioning and heating maintained a comfortable year-round temperature… The glaring sunlight, scorching heat, and burning sand beneath his feet all fueled his anger.
As he fumed, he suddenly felt an itch at his feet. Moving his legs, he saw a small crab attempting to crawl out. Without a second thought, Ye Sang grabbed the crab and prepared to throw it away.
But before he could release it, the crab viciously bit him, causing him to scream in pain and hastily shake off the creature from his palm.
The tiny creature, escaping his grasp, promptly disappeared into the sand, leaving Ye Sang to glare at the small bead of blood on his fair fingertip, prompting him to angrily shout at the sky.
──If only I hadn’t participated in this ridiculous night fishing trip!
Ye Sang thought angrily, pulling open his life jacket and rudely tossing it onto the sand. Still feeling unsatisfied, he couldn’t resist stomping on it a few times.
As Ye Sang vented his frustration on the innocent life jacket, he suddenly heard footsteps in the sand behind him. Irritated, he turned around to find the man who had been with him on the raft standing not far away.
The man stood shirtless, his muscular torso defined, his honey-colored skin radiating a healthy and sensual aura under the bright sunlight. Casual linen pants were casually rolled up, and he swept his bangs back, his deep brown eyes locking onto Ye Sang’s gaze.
The man, so handsome and noble that he seemed almost otherworldly, appeared before Ye Sang like the majestic Poseidon himself, causing Ye Sang, who was momentarily lost in thought, to forget his anger. He stared dumbfounded at the handsome face before him.
The man slowly set down the string of coconuts from his shoulder and walked leisurely toward Ye Sang. Every drop of sweat from his collarbone to the fine sand on his calves seemed perfectly suited to the moment. Ye Sang watched in a daze as the handsome man entered his field of vision, detecting a strong scent of the ocean and a hint of unfamiliar smoke on him.
Just as Ye Sang was about to identify the smell, the man suddenly reached up and wiped his nose, speaking in a warm tone, “I know I’m handsome, but your nosebleed seems a bit exaggerated.”
Hearing this, Ye Sang looked down and saw the man’s hand covered in blood. His face flushed red with embarrassment as he pushed the man away with a harsh tone, covering his nose, “Who asked you to look?! It’s so hot in the sun, anyone would get a nosebleed!”
Seeing Ye Sang’s irritation, the man just shrugged, bent down to wipe the blood off his hands with a handful of sand, and then picked up the string of coconuts, heading toward the shade of the palm tree grove.
Feeling teased like this, Ye Sang didn’t really feel like interacting with this guy at the moment. However, the beach was scorching hot, and even with canvas shoes on, he felt the soles sticking to the burning sand. He had no choice but to follow behind the man and seek refuge in the shade of the trees.
Although the sunlight on the beach was intense, it was quite cool under the shade of the trees. Ye Sang sat on a relatively clean rock, covering his nose. The man found a sharp stone from somewhere, smashed and cut open a coconut with the hard shell, and then handed it to Ye Sang.
Author’s Note: Finally entering the main text hahaha, poor urban bumpkin Sang, feeling like crying without tears~
Dude, where are you from to remain so calm and know how to open coconuts? That’s really hard!
Ikr, he’s so strong smashing it with just a stone 🤣
