Zhou Siping booked a two-bedroom seaside house where the ocean could be seen from the balcony. It also had a kitchen where they could cook their own meals, and he had arranged for the landlady to buy various seafood ingredients from the market in advance and prepare dinner for them. The journey went smoothly until they took a speedboat to the island, which was very bumpy. Despite taking seasickness medicine in advance, Xiang Yu still felt extremely nauseous and could barely walk when they arrived, with Lu Heng half-carrying her to the car. At the guesthouse, Xiang Yu couldn't eat anything, so she just washed up and collapsed onto the bed, feeling dizzy and disoriented. The other three ate a bit after making sure she was asleep. There was chicken soup prepared for dinner, so Lu Heng asked the landlady to cook a bowl of chicken noodle soup, which he brought to Xiang Yu's room.
Lu Heng knocked lightly and entered the room. Xiang Yu barely opened her eyes to look at him before drifting back to sleep. Lu Heng put the soup on the table, only to find there was already a bowl of chicken soup there, still warm but with a yellow layer of oil on top, which made him feel a bit displeased. He sat by Xiang Yu's bed, gently touched her cheek, and leaned down to wake her, "Get up and eat something, please. I asked the landlady to make chicken noodle soup. It smells delicious, and it won't taste good if it gets soggy." Xiang Yu, half-asleep, looked at him with a dazed expression. Lu Heng helped her sit up, their faces close enough to feel each other's breath. He saw her flushed cheeks and the hazy look in her eyes, a rare expression that made his heart race. Without thinking, he leaned in and kissed her. Still groggy, Xiang Yu didn't push him away, and Lu Heng's kisses made her even dizzier. Before she knew it, Lu Heng had pushed her onto the bed, kissing her ears and neck, making it hard for her to breathe. Unlike his usual gentle kisses, these were aggressive, making her feel scared. His kisses moved down her neck, stopped by the buttons of her pajamas. Frustrated, he roughly tore them open, revealing her white skin under a light blue bra. Lu Heng's lips trembled as he touched her bare skin.
Xiang Yu, now fully awake, pushed his face away and tried to cover herself, but Lu Heng grabbed her wrists, holding her down. Seeing his desperate expression, Xiang Yu panicked, her voice trembling with a hint of tears, "Lu Heng, are you crazy?" But he didn't seem to hear her, staring blankly at her exposed skin, wanting to possess her completely. Her disappointed gaze and struggle eventually made him stop. He collapsed, lying heavily on top of her, his face buried in her neck, his voice muffled, "Xiang Yu, I'm so scared." Xiang Yu let him hold her, listening to him pour out feelings he had never shared before. "Xiang Yu, I've always followed you, listened to you, but I'm still so afraid. Afraid I can't keep up with you, that you'll leave me behind, and I… I don't know what to do. There are many people who like you, who are better than me. I don't know why you chose me. Why me, Xiang Yu? From the moment we met, you treated me differently, but why? Why me? You're so amazing, why choose me? Do you really love me, Xiang Yu?" Xiang Yu didn't know how to respond. She gently patted his back, comforting him, "Because you are my destiny. To me, no one is better than you. You are the best." Lu Heng propped himself up, staring into her eyes as if trying to gauge the truth of her words. Xiang Yu looked back at him, feeling a bit sad, and gently stroked his face.
When Xiang Yu finally got up to eat the noodles, they were a bit clumped together but still delicious. She ate slowly, with Lu Heng sitting nearby in a daze, the room silent. Siping and Zhanyuan's arrival broke the awkward atmosphere. They could sense something was off but didn't mention it, only expressing concern for Xiang Yu's health. Xiang Yu sighed in relief, saying she felt much better after sleeping and eating, and suggested a walk on the beach. Seeing her improved condition, they waited for her to finish eating, reminded her to wear warm clothes, and then they all went out together.
