Qin Youxuan was awakened by the loud cries of seagulls.
Groggily opening her eyes, she found herself alone and abruptly jumped up from the unfamiliar bed.
Barefoot, she climbed out of bed and ran to the balcony.
The bright sunshine illuminated the balcony, outside the window was an expanse of azure sea, with waves undulating on the surface.
Countless seagulls were foraging, occasionally landing on the nearby beach, their constant chatter filling the air.
The sea breeze stirred the waves, bringing a salty taste to her lips…
The sacred magic of nature quickly calmed her mind.
Qin Youxuan gripped the balcony railing tightly, half-closing her eyes, and leaned out to enjoy a rare moment of tranquility.
"You're awake."
A sudden deep, enchanting voice from behind caused her body to stiffen.
The next moment, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist, crossing over her body to link in front of her.
