Chapter 950: Missing You, Especially Missing You

One hour later—Cai Xiaotang found the lodging she had booked in advance, carrying her luggage.

It was a small guesthouse with a very chic design, facing the sea.

Dragging her suitcase inside, Cai Xiaotang immediately heard the enthusiastic greeting of the proprietress.

"Beauty, are you here for a vacation? Did you make a reservation beforehand?"

"Yes, I did."

Cai Xiaotang replied, reciting a string of mobile numbers, though it was not her own.

It was a room she had specifically asked a close colleague to help her book earlier.

This was not some star-rated hotel, so the identity verification would not be particularly strict.

Soon, Cai Xiaotang finished the check-in process and went upstairs.

She followed the room number to find her suite.

Opening the door, she was met with a clean and tidy small living room, with the bedroom located in the suite inside.

There was also a balcony facing the sea, where one could enjoy the ocean view at different times of the day.

However, Cai Xiaotang had little time to appreciate it.

She put down her luggage and threw herself onto the bed, her whole body filled with uncontrollable exhaustion.

Everything from last night was still vivid in her mind, replaying over and over.

She grabbed her phone and opened the software she usually used to kill time.

But after scrolling for a while, she felt a lack of interest.

Without realizing it, she opened her blacklist, staring blankly at the only number inside, her finger unable to resist moving slowly toward it.

She lingered for a moment, then abruptly turned off the screen.

There was no need to guess; she knew that once she unblocked that person, her phone would immediately be flooded with all sorts of messages and calls.

So...

There was no point in doing something so unnecessary.

She had already made her choice.

Anyway, she had booked the room here for a month.

She had plenty of time to slowly erase her feelings for him.

She spent the day resting in the room in a daze.

It wasn't until the next day that Cai Xiaotang felt the exhaustion in her body had faded quite a bit.

It was just that...

Her waist was still a bit sore.

"Tsk... it's all the fault of that unrestrained guy!"

Not knowing how many times she had complained about the "culprit," Cai Xiaotang went to the room's private balcony with a subtle expression, finally in the mood to appreciate the scenery here.

The morning weather was exceptionally fresh.

She leaned against the railing, looking at the distant sea surface, her thoughts drifting away again.

Li Xiao is now...

He should have already started having people track her whereabouts, right?

But since there hasn't been a single call coming in until now, does that mean her "escape plan" was very successful?

She wondered what his reaction was now...

Would he be angry?

Or...

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but drift off again, her mind filled with that familiar shadow.

Realizing she was thinking about Li Xiao again, her heart felt sour and bitter; she hurriedly shook her head, her expression filled with annoyance.

Why was she thinking about him again?

Didn't she come here to change her environment and use the beautiful scenery to distract herself?

Cai Xiaotang thought to herself, forcing herself to stop thinking about Li Xiao, focusing only on the sea not far away and the people on the beach.

Although it was winter now.

The climate here was as warm as spring all year round.

Therefore, no matter when one came, one would run into quite a few tourists.

At this moment, groups of people were gathered on the beach; some were taking walks, some were sunbathing, but more were artistic young men and women drawing or taking photos on the sand.

Cai Xiaotang's gaze was drifting aimlessly when suddenly—"Beauty, are you alone? Do you want to come down and play volleyball with us?

"

A very energetic male voice suddenly rang out.

Cai Xiaotang was startled at the sound and looked in the direction of the voice, only to discover that someone was standing downstairs at some point, holding a volleyball in their hand.

They must have accidentally hit the ball off-course and come over to retrieve it.

"No, thank you."

Cai Xiaotang returned a polite smile to the other person, declining the invitation.

Yet, she felt a bit surprised inside.

Because...

Standing downstairs was actually a very sunny and handsome young man!

The reason she called him "young" was that Cai Xiaotang could tell at a glance that he couldn't be very old, at most in his early twenties.

However, his taste in clothes, height, and looks were all top-notch; at a glance, he was the type very popular with girls!

In the past, she might have been interested in striking up a conversation.

But now, she really had no such thoughts at all.

"Really not coming? It's just hanging out."

The other party asked again, somewhat unwilling to give up.

"Sorry."

Cai Xiaotang only replied with two words this time.

Seeing her persistence, the other party had no choice but to stop asking, simply shrugged, and turned to leave.

Cai Xiaotang watched his back, but was lost in thought for a moment.

A height of over 1.80 meters, plus perfect broad shoulders and a narrow waist...

At first glance, he was actually somewhat like a certain someone...

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly, then abruptly shifted her gaze away and simply turned and left the balcony.

Why did she think of him again?

Forget it...

Better to just stay in the room.

The one-month period had only just begun!

If worse comes to worst, she would just add another month!

When the time came that she thought of Li Xiao...

And no longer had this feeling of her heart going numb, then she could go back.

Evening—stifled in the room for another day.

Cai Xiaotang really couldn't hold it in anymore.

Wanting to go outside to change her mood, she tidied up a bit and planned to go downstairs for dinner.

Just as she turned into the front hall.

She heard it was very lively inside.

In a place like a guesthouse, even strangers could become friends after exchanging a few words.

Cai Xiaotang, however, had no intention of making acquaintances with others.

She simply found a corner by herself and ordered some food at random.

After eating, she went out alone to take a walk by the beach.

The evening sea breeze was a bit chilly.

Yet she didn't care at all.

Finding a spot with few people, she sat down on the beach in a carefree manner, staring at the sea in a daze.

Being alone was, after all, somewhat lonely.

However, fortunately, the scenery was beautiful enough.

Cai Xiaotang's fingertips were unconsciously scribbling on the sand.

Her thoughts couldn't help but drift far away again.

Wonder what that guy is doing now...

She had already asked Baobao to help convey her wish to be alone for a while.

So, at the very least, he could be sure that she was safe, and that was enough.

As Cai Xiaotang thought this, her gaze swept across the sand inadvertently, and she suddenly froze.

There, beside her hand, was a "Li" character she had just written.

Stunned for two seconds, Cai Xiaotang abruptly messed up the sand in front of her, and a helpless, bitter smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

But just at this moment—"Young lady, why are you sitting here all by yourself?"

A somewhat familiar voice rang out from behind her.

Cai Xiaotang was startled at the sound and turned her head instinctively; sure enough, she saw the boy she had met during the day, who was now looking at her with a curious and clearly very interested expression.

She didn't speak, her mood also somewhat subtle.

What is up with this kid?

Did he install a radar on her?

Or was Heaven afraid she would grow old alone, so just after she left Li Xiao, it sent another one over without a moment's delay?

Cai Xiaotang looked at the other party, really having no interest in responding, so she just smiled and stood up, intending to leave.

But she didn't expect that in the next second, the other party would block her path directly!
