103: Arrive at Khe Sa Island

After getting into formation, they saw the bustling and noisy terminal building filled with a sea of people.

A beautiful and tall young woman wearing a black sun hat, with a lovely face, was holding tightly onto a cute girl who was slightly smaller in stature and carrying a white bag on her shoulder. They were running towards their direction with light and hurried steps.

They were like two shining stars traversing the vast crowd, attracting the attention of many people around them.

When they arrived in front of everyone.

Chen Xiangbei and the others, as if having rehearsed, collectively bowed to the two young women and loudly said, "Welcome, University Belle Yin and Cousin, for your guidance! Please come in!"

Seeing everyone remain motionless in their bowing postures, the leading young woman rolled her eyes at them and said, panting, "Stop messing around, so many people are watching!"

Everyone tacitly ignored her and continued to bend at the waist with their heads lowered.

The young woman pretended to be annoyed and stomped her foot, then said, "If we don't go now, the plane will fly away!"

Only then did everyone stand up and hug and greet the young woman.

The young woman's name was Yin Yueyao. She was the university belle voted by the vast alumni of Linhai University from other schools and had served as the image ambassador for Linhai University's admissions for three consecutive terms.

Her eyes were clear like water, her skin like snow, radiating a charming glow.

She wore a long white dress, and her light and graceful figure was captivating at first sight.

Her long hair under her hat fell like black satin to her waist, looking charming and touching. Every frown and smile revealed an elegant temperament.

She was the university belle and the goddess in everyone's hearts. Both boys and girls envied her peerless beauty.

Everyone surrounded her, the boys greeting her, and the girls hugging each other.

After two months of graduation, everyone hadn't had time to meet, and they had endless topics to talk about.

Chen Xiangbei just stood by and quietly watched Yin Yueyao, recalling the bits and pieces of their time in school.

Just as he was immersed in his memories, a timid voice sounded in his ear.

"Are you the Brother who sells fish?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiangbei instantly returned to reality. Following the direction of the voice, a familiar figure came into view.

Looking at the owner of the voice, Chen Xiangbei said with a surprised tone,

"So you are Ouyang Qianqian!"

The young woman didn't dare to look directly at Chen Xiangbei. She looked at him with flickering eyes and said with a slightly unnatural expression,

"Yes, I forgot to introduce myself before. My name is Ouyang Qianqian, and yours?"

"Ouyang... Qianqian, surname Ouyang, so that's how it is!" Chen Xiangbei murmured.

"My name is Chen Xiangbei. You can call me Xiangbei, like everyone else. Can I call you Cousin?"

"Yes... yes, everyone can call me Cousin." Facing Chen Xiangbei, Ouyang Qianqian became increasingly nervous and less able to speak.

Perhaps seeing her nervousness, Chen Xiangbei changed the subject and stopped talking to her.

He turned around and addressed everyone, saying, "Everyone, stop chatting for now and listen to me for a moment. I want to introduce a new friend!"

Everyone snapped back from their conversations and uniformly looked at him.

"Let me introduce everyone, this person next to me is my Cousin, her name is Ouyang Qianqian, you can call her Qianqian..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yin Yueyao stepped out and said to Chen Xiangbei with her hands on her hips in a playful tone, "She's not your Cousin, she's my Cousin!"

"Hahaha~" Everyone laughed.

Li An said, "Exactly, exactly, don't take advantage of her, right Cousin." After saying that, he raised an eyebrow at Ouyang Qianqian.

Facing everyone's teasing, Ouyang Qianqian also acted gracefully and naturally, but only when facing Chen Xiangbei did she appear overly nervous.

The group of nine chatted and joked for a while until the airport announcement notified them that their flight was ready for boarding.

Everyone stopped talking and walked to the boarding gate to check their tickets and board.

Because everyone's seats were in first class, they could board without queuing, with priority check-in and boarding.

After checking the tickets, while walking on the jet bridge, Chen Xiangbei put his hand in his pocket pretending to take something out, but actually, he took out a sports camera with a gimbal from the System space.

From the moment they boarded the plane, he started recording this trip.

Then he would make it into a video, add the song he sang, and post it online.

After everyone had boarded, the flight attendant signaled everyone to turn off their phones or switch them to airplane mode.

Then the plane slowly taxied onto the runway. When the plane was in position,

"Boom~"

As the sound of accelerating engines echoed, a strong pushback force made everyone press tightly against their seats.

Just like that, the plane flew towards the beautiful southern island.

...

After a long flight of over an hour, the plane finally slowly landed on the runway of Xisha Island Airport.

With a slight vibration as the wheels touched the ground, the passengers on the plane all showed joyful expressions—this beautiful Xisha Island trip had finally begun!

However, the moment they stepped out of the cabin door, a wave of heat hit them, making them feel a bit suffocated.

It turned out that this beautiful small island was located in the tropical region, with a hot and humid climate. Even as night fell, the temperature remained high, reaching 40 degrees Celsius! It seemed as if it wanted to evaporate the last bit of moisture from people's bodies.

Passengers quickly wiped away the large beads of sweat from their foreheads and hurried to the waiting hall to find a cool place.

Some quickly found an air conditioning vent, greedily enjoying the comfort brought by the cold air; others grabbed iced drinks and drank them in one gulp, trying to cool themselves down.

And those travelers who were originally wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants for sun protection complained bitterly, regretting not being prepared for the high temperature in advance.

Standing outside the waiting hall, looking out, you could see the brightly lit city in the distance and the sparkling sea.

Although the heat at this moment was unbearable, this unique tropical style also had a different charm.

Perhaps, it was precisely this extreme climate condition that gave Xisha Island a different kind of vitality and vigor.

Chen Xiangbei and his group arrived at the baggage claim area in the airport lobby, waiting for their luggage to come out.

The stuffy weather made everyone's spirits not very good; they looked listless and tired.

Soon, everyone's luggage slid out from the claim carousel, and everyone found their own luggage.

"Ding dong~"

At this moment, a crisp bell sound rang out.

Wang Ziyi's phone received a message. After reading it, he excitedly said to everyone, "The guesthouse we booked has sent a car to pick us up!"

Everyone's spirits lifted upon hearing this. They dragged their luggage and followed Wang Ziyi towards the exit.

A luxurious bus was already waiting there, and the driver enthusiastically helped them load their luggage onto the bus.

After getting on the bus, the cool air conditioning made everyone feel much more relaxed.
