Reborn with an Old Enemy on the Day of our MarriageCh88 - A Thrilling Beach Day

The bus slowly came to a halt in the parking lot near the beach. The former students of No.12 High School cheered and ran towards the waters with their luggage on their backs.

This particular beach was famous in their province and was always full during the holidays. However, right now, it was neither a weekend nor an official holiday. Therefore, there weren’t many tourists visiting, and there were only a few cars in the parking lot. EVsQaY

Lin Qian woke up at their excited shouts, and drowsily asked: “We’ve arrived?”

“Yes, we’re here.” Zheng PingQing reached out a hand to lightly rub at Lin Qian’s eyes. Then, he gently pressed at Lin Qian’s temple and asked: “Have you slept enough? Do you want to go to the villa and sleep for another hour?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Lin Qian stretched his arms and rubbed his forehead against Zheng PingQing’s shoulder. “No, I feel refreshed. Let’s get off.”

“Wait, you’re hair looks a little messy.” Zheng PingQing ruffled Lin Qian’s hair in an attempt to straighten it. Hi9psI

This was the scene Xu Yao, who had intended to come over and call them, saw. Xu Yao immediately turned around and shouted: “Jiang TingJun, wait for me!”

Jiang TingJun still hadn’t forgotten Xu Yao’s previous provocation during the bus ride, so he huffed and said: “Go away! You’re no longer my friend, ah.”

Xu Yao: “….”

Because of those two gays, he lost so many of his friends one after the other. It was Lin Qian, then Dong MingEn, and now, Jiang TingJun…

Xu Yao felt a little sad, but gradually, his distorted mentality made him vengeful. He ran and caught up to Jiang TingJun, then told him: “If you stop being friends with me, I’ll tell everyone you’re pursuing me.”

Jiang TingJun: “…you’re so vicious.”

In the end, the reluctant Jiang TingJun was forced to reconcile.

There was another bus parked near their own bus and a group of laughing young girls got off. They seemed to be in the same age group as the tutoring group. pftYG6

Dong MingEn’s expression brightened. “Wow, so many lovely girls.”

Next to him, a classmate admonished him: “Brother Dong, you already have Ah Yao, yet you’re still eyeing girls? You’re such a scum.”

Older brother Dong brushed away his bangs from his face and said: “I go for both men and women!”

Just then, a girl from the other group suddenly waved her hand towards them. “Dong MingEn, what a coincidence!” muZ6MI

Dong MingEn looked at the pretty girl and realized that she looked somewhat familiar. However, he couldn’t remember where he’d seen this sister. Instead, it was Gou XinDou who recognized her first. He said: “Eh, isn’t that girl from No. 9 High School?”

Dong MingEn hurriedly grabbed Gou XinDou and asked: “Hurry, tell me who she is!”

Gou XinDou was silent for a moment, then said: “Last year, didn’t you teach her how to skate? Don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten?”

At that time, Gou XinDou helped Dong MingEn and Lou XingGuang get Zheng PingQing and Luo RunWei, a No.9 High School student, together. Gou XinDou remembered the girl waving at them because she had superb skating skills, but pretended to be a complete novice so that Dong MingEn would teach her. 6HU2C4

Seeing this girl again put Guo XinDou in a complicated mood. It was this girl’s actions that made him realize Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing’s true relationship.

Dong MingEn made a surprised sound. “No wonder I found her so familiar. But what’s her name?”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Gou XinDou: “….”

If it weren’t for Dong MingEn’s sort-of good looks, Gou XinDou figured that Dong MingEn would have to say goodbye to any semblance of a love-life. DyqQR3

Gou XinDou, who had a good memory, replied: “Her name is Xu Shuang.”

The new group was students of No.9 High School who also planned to play on the beach after the college entrance exams. They didn’t expect to bump into students of No.12 High School.

Luo RunWei and You NiNi, the top beauties in their school, were also in the new group. When they saw Dong MingEn, their minds churned. You NiNi looked towards the group of No. 12 High School students and saw Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing in the back of the crowd next to a bus.

After the grueling college entrance exams, students usually become bolder and less reserved due to their new-found freedom. You NiNi was no different. She walked past the No.12 High School students and stood in front of Lin Qian. With a sweet smile, she said: “Classmate Lin Qian, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to see you here.” TZKL3b

So although You NiNi never saw Lin Qian again, she liked him much more compared to their first meeting.

Especially now, when she finally saw him after a long separation. Lin Qian seemed a little taller than before, and while his beautiful face seemed to have lost some of its boyhood charms. Lin Qian’s more mature bearing made You NiNi, who was used to being surrounded by boys, suddenly nervous. uxomkZ

You NiNi tugged the corner of her dress and calmed down. Then, she shyly asked: “Well, where are you all staying tonight? If it’s close to our group’s accommodations, then maybe we can play together….”

You NiNi’s soft voice caused the chatter around her to gradually quiet down. The students of No.12 High School soon stopped talking one by one and secretly glanced at You NiNi from the corner of their eyes.

Pretty, so pretty.

And very, very, bold. 4z0J 2

You NiNi couldn’t say anything else because she soon noticed the strange atmosphere. She didn’t know what happened, but her intuition was telling her to stop talking.

You NiNi was a little confused. She looked around and saw that the No.12 High School students not only stopped talking, but their bodies became stiff. But even so, nobody actually turned and looked at her.

It can be said that no matter where You NiNi went, she attracted a lot of gazes. Whenever she took the initiative to talk to a boy, the people around her would often tease. So it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that something like this had never happened to You NiNi in the past ten years.

Her heart felt inexplicably scared. But before she could even attempt to understand, Zheng PingQing, who had been standing next to Lin Qian crossed his arms and angrily said: “Classmate You NiNi, there’s another handsome guy next to Lin Qian, ah. Why are you greeting just him?” zZW27d

Because of the skating rink incident, You NiNi didn’t have a favorable impression of Zheng PingQing and felt they didn’t really have the sort of relationship where they would greet each other. But in the end, Zheng PingQing was Lin Qian’s friend. With Zheng PingQing calling her out in such a blatant way, You NiNi couldn’t directly refuse him to his face. She had to reluctantly say: “Hello, classmate Zheng.”

After this perfunctory greeting, she turned back towards Lin Qian and asked: “…well? Classmate Lin Qian, what do you think of my suggestion?”

Before Lin Qian could answer, Zheng PingQing turned to Lin Qian and asked: “Yes, Classmate Lin, what do you think about her suggestion?”

The others nearby: “…” Tsk, tsk, was this the legendary ‘asking but not really asking’ special move? ygLa6

Sure enough, it’s tough dating a tyrant.

Lin Qian smiled and replied: “We’re staying in a place Zheng PingQing booked, so you’ll have to ask him.”

You NiNi: “….”

The others: “….” They were wrong. It was only them that would have a tough time dating a tyrant. For Lin Qian, it was too easy. MVmAnK

For a while, You NiNi was embarrassed. She didn’t know if Lin Qian really was unaware of things or if he was just pretending not to.

But then Zheng PingQing smiled and listed out an address. “…that’s where we’re staying. If your accommodations are nearby, then you’re welcome to come and play.”

Everyone: “….” Ah, this was the so-called ‘confidence only attainable by a favored person in the imperial palace,’ right?

You NiNi’s eyes curved in delight. “Oh, we’re staying in a villa near that address. It’s very close, so we’ll definitely be able to meet again later.” e1jm8Q

She said this while smiling at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian raised his hand in a timely manner and shouted: “Li Gao, have you taken the box of seafood out of the bus yet? Let me help you.”

At a loss of what to say, Lin Qian walked over to the passing Li Gao and took the foam box off his hands. He unhesitatingly left Zheng PingQing and You NiNi, who didn’t have a very good relationship with each other, alone together. The two stood there, looking at each other in dismay.

However, since the favored person was satisfied, he generously said to You NiNi: “Your group is welcome anytime.” XwYZs6

You NiNi went back to her group and saw Lou RunWei looked at her with a disgruntled expression on her face. “When did you get so familiar with Zheng PingQing?’

At first, Lou RunWei figured she could stop being so aloof and cold towards Zheng PingQing. But as a result, Zheng PingQing didn’t even look at her. Instead, Zheng PingQing took the initiative to greet You NiNi. It seems that he got jealous when You NiNi ignored him for Lin Qian? And he even told her she was welcome to play…

Lou RunWei felt deeply betrayed by her sister.

You NiNi quickly waved off her words. “I’m not. I don’t know why Zheng PingQing is acting this way.” 8lKEzb

Although You NiNi was being truthful, in the end, seeing was believing. To Lou RunWei, You NiNi’s words were grating. Lou RunWei huffed and tossed her hair, then walked off.

You NiNi: “…”

……

When they arrived at the beach, it was noon. The sun was too high for them to go into the water, plus they just came off a long drive, so everyone had a quick lunch before going to their rooms to have a small rest. bznEuK

The villa Zheng PingQing booked was specifically for holiday tourists, so the rooms were divided into several small double rooms and two bunk bedrooms for several people to sleep in together. In addition to the bedrooms, there were also many recreation facilities that catered to people their age. The group took a brief nap in the afternoon, then, with their energy bars fully restored, decided to go crazy and play hard.

The sun was starting to slant towards the west, so it wasn’t so hot on the beach anymore. Everyone changed into swimsuits one after the other, and much like ducks eager to go into the water, they all ‘squawked’ as they rushed into the sea.

The chattering of male students could be heard:

“See my pumped up arms? It’s the symbol of manliness!” zco8kC

“How is that a symbol of masculinity? Look at my four abs!”

“Hah, so what? I used to have six abs back when I did martial arts. But guess what? All my abs merged into one. Hahaha, look, it’s this!”

“Ooh, so powerful. I think you can get at least six catties of lard from your ‘ab’!”

“Haha, in that case, when we do a barbecue this evening…” cQRFfK

“Hm, if we roasted him, we wouldn’t need to brush oil onto him…”

“Slow down, wait for me, ah!” Towards the end of the crowd, Dong MingEn, with an inflatable duck ring around his waist, ran towards them.

The others had a disgusted expression on their faces as they said: “Don’t come near me, ah. I don’t want to play with a duck.”

Dong MingEn angrily replied: “Hah! Don’t come begging to borrow my inflatable ring later!” ZXNcyS

……

Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing didn’t go into the water. Instead, they changed into more casual clothes and slowly walked along the beach hand in hand.

The two had known each other for a very long time, but most of that time was spent hurting each other. They had few dates, even if you included their marriage trip in their last life. Zheng PingQing had planned a romantic honeymoon, but they ultimately hadn’t been able to make the trip.

So this relaxing date was a rare and precious opportunity for them. 9KpnMs

The sea breeze gently blew, and occasionally, the seawater tickled their feet. The sounds of the waves, coupled with the smell of salt, made the experience pleasant.

When the couple arrived at a relatively deserted spot, they looked at each other and tacitly decided to sit on the sand. They put their heads close to each other and kissed.

The white sandy beach, the gentle spray of water, the scattered seashells along the shore…

Their hair fluttered over their young, but slowly maturing faces. This was the best years of one's life. It might be short and fleeting, but it would be something forever cherished and never forgotten. dAUci

“The water feels nice.” Zheng PingQing watched the waves roll in and from the bottom of his heart, said: “I want to take a mandarin duck bath.”

Lin Qian turned to look at him and smile. “Alright.”

Zheng PignQing’s eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together in excitement. “You said it. You can’t take it back later.”

Lin Qian chuckled. “Of course.” LKgUCP

Zheng PingQing couldn’t help but wrap his arms around Lin Qian. Then, he rubbed his cheek against Lin Qian’s neck to calm himself down.

“There’s one other thing I’ve always wanted to do.” After a while, Zheng PingQing perked up once more.

Lin Qian looked at him, curious.

Zheng PingQing shifted his position and picked up a smooth seashell that had swept towards them. He crouched down on the sand and began to draw. KSQ7Vj

Lin Qian watched as Zheng PingQing wrote ‘Lin Qian’ on the sand, then ‘Zheng PingQing’ next to it. Then, he drew a big heart around the two names.

Lin Qian: “….” He thought this kind of thing only appeared in a young girl’s fanciful mind.

After Zheng PingQing finished, he stood up and looked at Lin Qian with an expectant gaze.

Lin Qian…chose to applause. d eL3o

Lin Qian gave Zheng PingQing a sincere look and skillfully coaxed him: “No wonder I felt something missing. It turned out this was the final thing needed for the perfect beach date!”

Zheng PingQing embraced Lin Qian from behind and looked down at the two names surrounded by a heart. He felt very proud. “My heart is drawn so perfectly, ah.”

Lin Qian nodded and praised: “Yes, both sides are symmetrical, and the line is unbroken. Only a heart full of love can draw such perfection, ah.”

Zheng PingQing’s heart was tickled. He was about to bend down and take advantage of the situation, but suddenly, Dong MingEn’s voice could be heard. “Duck, my duck–” QWzBoN

The ambiguous atmosphere was interrupted, and the two embracing men looked up towards the sound. Dong MingEn’s inflatable ring somehow slipped off his waist and was now drifting rapidly towards the sea. Dong MingEn was chasing the inflatable ring, and after a while, he finally managed to stop the inflatable ring on a shoal not far from the couple.

But Dong MingEn didn’t calm down. Instead, he cried out in an even more sad tone: “My duck is leaking!”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

He picked up his inflatable ring and ran towards the shore. “Where’s the pump station-”

“Oh! Hello Boss! Hello, big brother Qian!” Dong MingEn walked up the shore, only to find the two men holding each other near the water. Feeling a sudden sharp pain in his eyes, Dong MingEn greeted them and hurriedly tried to pass. P7cVaO

“Get back here.” Zheng PingQing’s cold voice could suddenly be heard.

Dong MingEn wanted to quickly run away, but at Zheng PingQing’s icy tone, his legs subconsciously turned back around. He could only say: “Yes, Boss, what’s the matter?”

Zheng PingQing was still holding Lin Qian, and his hands hadn’t loosened. However, the expression on his face was obviously unhappy. “Look down at your feet.”

Dong MingEn was confused but obediently looked down. ZBRjrX

Then…

‘Plop!’ Dong MingEn fell on his butt.

He saw what was under his feet. It turned out to be a heart with two names inside it.

However, there was now a deep, well-defined footprint inside the heart. rCkLcy

Dong MingEn clung to Zheng PingQing’s leg and exclaimed: “Boss, forgive my foot, ah. It wasn’t intentional!”

The author has something to say:

Dong MingEn: My duck, my duck betrayed me!
