Liu Chen spent the whole day with Qin Lu and Lin Xueting at the beach, soaked to the point of swelling, and utterly exhausted by day's end. In the taxi, Qin Lu and Lin Xueting could hardly bear it any longer; frowning with their naturally large and round eyes squinted into small slits, they stared emptily out at the neon lights of Jeju Island at night.
Returning to Seven Star Street, back to the same hotel, Qin Lu and Lin Xue suddenly snapped to attention.
"You..." Lin Xueting's eyes, which had been half-closed, now shot wide open, her mouth agape in shock as she stared at Liu Chen, "Why have you brought us here again?!"
"Don't you want to see," Liu Chen said with an amused expression brimming with anticipation, "what expression those 'sticks' will have when they see us again?"
