Jonas's words plunged Esni's mind into a brief state of temporary shutdown.
The sudden straight talk interrupted all her thoughts, leaving her unable to react for quite some time.
The girl, who had been consoling herself, had all her illusions shattered by Jonas's words, and a mix of emotions surged up instantly, but she couldn't seem to articulate them.
Esni opened her mouth, but before she could sort out her thoughts.
The next moment, Jonas turned his head and violently turned the steering wheel.
The car swerved to a halt, and Esni held onto the seat tightly to prevent her body from tilting too violently. The sudden acceleration made her heart beat faster.
She couldn't quite distinguish whether it was because of Jonas's words just now or because of the sudden exhilarating sensation that her heart was beating so hard.
The car came to a stop, and the slightly salty sea breeze blew in through the window.
As if nothing had been said just now, Jonas remained calm.
The car door opened, and he said, "We're here."
Here..where are we?
Miss Esni was still not fully recovered from the series of events that had just taken place. She rubbed her still trembling heart subconsciously and instinctively looked out following the voice.
The sea breeze brushed over the waves, and seagulls circled in the sky.
The waves crashed onto the beach, occasionally leaving behind conches filled with sand.
"Come out and get some fresh air."
Jonas's voice brought back some of her chaotic thoughts. When she turned her head, she found that Jonas had already gotten out of the car. The sea breeze tousled his hair, and his shirt swayed continuously in the wind.
Feeling her face heating up, Esni couldn't help but pat her cheeks with her hands, trying to clear her mind.
---Pathetic.
She cursed herself silently like this.
To be so flustered by just one sentence from the other party, it's really embarrassing.
Taking a deep breath, Esni's mood gradually calmed down. She looked at Jonas not far away, as if somewhat unwillingly, opened the car door and followed him.
.......
The seagulls' cries rang out with the rhythm of the waves.
There was no one on the beach. Esni stepped on the soft sand, and the slightly salty and humid air in the air cleared her mind a lot.
The girl looked to the side, Jonas's black hair fluttering in the wind, his attention not on her but on the distant sea, his expression very calm.
This made Miss Esni feel somewhat stifled. She turned her head away, no longer looking in Jonas's direction, and lowered her head to kick the sand with her feet.
If Eiffel were here, he would definitely not be able to help but sarcastically comment.
---After teasing the girl's heartstrings in just a few words, he completely ignored her, it's really sinful.
"Miss Esni should be coming to the seaside for the first time."
Jonas's voice suddenly sounded, Esni raised her head, and then heard him say:
"Since it's your first time here, why not smile more."
He turned his head, looked into Esni's eyes, and smiled, saying:
"The sea and a frown don't really go together."
Esni snorted, no longer entangled in what Jonas had said just now, and didn't speak, but took a few steps to the seaside, where the shallow sea water washed over her boots.
She turned her head, looked at Jonas, and asked, "Why did you suddenly bring me here?"
"The seaside is a great place to forget your troubles."
"I don't think I have any troubles." Esni frowned and said.
Jonas pointed to his neck, smiling and saying:
"But it says you're happy now."
Esni was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was talking about the collar around her neck.
Her face instantly turned red, feeling a little embarrassed, a sense of shame as if her thoughts had been exposed.
"You didn't tell me this thing had this function."
"Miss Esni didn't ask either, did she?" Jonas smiled, turned his head,
He looked at the setting sun slowly descending not far away, and calmly said:
"Many times, things aren't that complicated..."
"Instead of worrying needlessly, it's better to let things take their natural course."
"Or is Miss Esni afraid of something?"
As if touched by something deep, the girl's movements paused.
The setting sun was level with the sea, and behind Esni, the setting sun's light reflected into a line.
The seagulls' cries suddenly came.
Esni raised her head and said fiercely:
"Mr. Jonas, are you being a bit unrealistic in thinking you can easily have me?"
"Without trying, how would you know?" Jonas smiled and asked.
Esni snorted and said:
"Mr. Jonas's methods are better left to love-struck girls, they're useless to me."
But this performance looks like bravado.
He slowly walked up to Esni, and the girl instinctively took a step back.
The boots were completely soaked by the seawater, and Esni took a deep breath, about to raise her head to say something.
But Jonas's sudden approach made her unable to retreat in time, and without standing firm, she fell directly onto him.
The sea water thoroughly soaked their clothes, and realizing the current situation, the prepared words were forgotten in an instant.
Looking into the eyes so close to her, the girl's brain went blank, and her cheeks instantly flushed.
"You.."
Esni was about to say that you'd better not do anything inappropriate.
But the words were completely blocked back.
Blood mixed with seawater.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the sea, the sky seemed to be on fire, against the backdrop of the platinum light, the sound of heartbeat was covered by the calls of returning seabirds.
Thump, thump.
