Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 31 The urge to kiss her
After a three-hour flight, Lin Lu and Pei Yizhou arrived at their resort at noon.

The chartered plane and car trip was indeed relaxing. Lin Lu's energy was fully preserved. When he arrived at the hotel, he was still full of energy. He ran to the terrace with great interest, leaning on the railing to look at the sea in the distance.

Pei Yizhou packed her luggage without complaint, folded the thick coat she took off, found the special clothes and shoes suitable for vacation, and placed them neatly at the end of the bed in her room.

This is a suite, and the two rooms share a wall, so they live closer than at home.

"Brother! There are a lot of people taking photos on the beach over there. It looks like a professional photography. Should we go and take some?" Lin Lu shouted outside.

Pei Yizhou walked out: "If you want to go play, we can go ask in the afternoon. Or buy a camera and take me to take pictures for you."

Then continue to pack up.

He didn't feel it was troublesome or boring. The sense of security of living alone with the two of them in a strange place made him smile the whole time.

Lin Lu was much more excited than him. She was thinking about going to the beach and ate the lunch sent by the hotel quickly and anxiously.

She chose to eat only the meat inside the shell of the mango snails she ordered, but she didn't like to eat the shell together with the meat. She was anxious and couldn't bear to eat it.

Pei Yizhou put down his chopsticks and picked up the meat for her. He knew her preferences very well, so he put the meat with sauce on the rice that she was about to put into her mouth, and she swallowed it in one gulp.

"Wonderful~Happy~" She squinted her eyes and enjoyed it.

Pei Yizhou felt happier in his heart than she, the person who was enjoying the service, and he wanted to live like this for the rest of his life.

The ostensible purpose of this vacation was to avoid meeting a group of acquaintances during this special time near the end of the year.

Although few people knew that Lin Lu disappeared in Antarctica, many people had noticed that she had not been heard from for seven years. Pei Yizhou was worried that someone would say something in front of her that would upset her and make things out of control again.

In addition to this reason, there is another one, which is to repair the relationship between them and separate Lin Lu and Duan Chengyu.

He didn't want any unhappiness between them because of other people.

It turns out that this method works quite well.

Most of Lin Lu's attention was attracted by the various games, activities and food in the resort. He casually put his cell phone in his pocket and rarely took it out.

When the game was particularly fun, her excited voice of calling "brother" could be heard across half the beach.

"Brother! We can customize surfboards right here!"

Lin Lu squeezed out of the crowd, holding the woven straw hat on his head, and pulled Pei Yizhou with his other hand.

She had painted a light brown pattern on her face to suit the occasion, and had some freckles on it. The sunlight penetrated the irregular gaps in the brim of the straw hat, casting light spots on her face, making her eyes look bright and eye-catching.

Pei Yizhou could only see her, and with her holding his hand, he wanted to leave without caring about anything, even if he didn't know where the destination was.

"Do you like it? Buy it." How could he say anything else in this situation? He gave Lin Lu whatever she wanted. She ran in front and he paid for it from behind.

After buying a bunch of things, she was attracted by a free game - the coconut picking competition.

There are three decorative coconuts hanging at different heights on each of the five coconut trees. Whoever is the first among the five teams to pick one of the coconuts can get the gift inside for free.

The premise is that you cannot use any objects when picking them, only people can do it.

Many couples participated, and the gifts they received were basically some local souvenirs and a few candid photos.

Lin Lu patted Pei Yizhou's arm and jumped with excitement: "I want to pick it!"

Pei Yizhou looked up at the tallest fake coconut on the coconut tree and said worriedly, "It's too high. We can buy souvenirs instead."

"The souvenir itself is not the point!" She was in high spirits and would not allow anyone to refuse her. She pulled his hand up high and shouted loudly that she wanted to sign up.

Five teams were gathered, three teams of couples, one team of father and son, and this pair of siblings. The host in a flowered shirt blew the whistle: "Game on!"

Lin Lu immediately patted Pei Yizhou's shoulder and pressed down with a little more strength: "Hurry, hurry, squat down, I'll step on your shoulders, you pull yourself up from the ground, and then I'll climb up and catch you!" She didn't even look at Pei Yizhou's helpless expression, as if she was not giving orders to her brother, but to a resilient horse.

What else Pei Yizhou could do was to do as he was told. He squatted down, let her step on his shoulders, and then helped her up the coconut tree.

Other couples were still smiling and adjusting their hugging or carrying postures, but the father and son were particularly focused on participating. The child riding on his father's neck was less than two meters tall.

Only Lin Lu showed the most competitive spirit. She stared at the tallest coconut with her bright eyes and climbed the tree very agilely. The onlookers knew at a glance that she was determined to get it.

Within three minutes, she had touched the shortest coconut, but she ignored it and continued to climb up carefully, scratching the tail of the tallest coconut with her fingers and almost caught it several times.

Pei Yizhou's eyebrows were twitching as he watched from below. He circled around the coconut tree, afraid that she would fall.

With his heart in his throat, Lin Lu suddenly hugged the tree with one hand, took off his coat and made a pocket, threw it over, successfully scooped up the tallest coconut, and held it high up to show off!

“I’m the first one!”

The crowd applauded and cheered, as if they were all infected by her smile.

Pei Yizhou picked her up and watched her excitedly exchange gifts. He followed her and said, "Did you get your hands scratched? If you like those things, we can buy more..."

“Ding ding ding ding! This is for you!” Lin Lu hung the gold coconut pendant he exchanged for on his hand, blinked and said, “There’s one more city on your life map!”

Pei Yizhou was a little stunned.

"The souvenir itself is not important. What's important is the action you took to win this souvenir for the person you care about. Brother, are you touched?" She leaned closer and blinked again, smiling so that the corners of her eyes formed a small hook.

Quickly hook Pei Yizhou's mind away.

At that moment, he almost couldn't control the urge to kiss her on the spot.

Lin Lu had no idea what he was thinking. She put on her straw hat again and ran forward happily again.

Pei Yizhou raised his wrist, lowered his head to kiss the pendant, and followed her forward.

After running and jumping for an afternoon, the blue sky was gradually replaced by the orange sunset.

Night fell on the seaside.

Lin Lu’s energy was almost exhausted, and he finally wanted to stop and simply enjoy the scenery.

She stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance. She saw an area in front with many awnings and folding tables and chairs, and called to Pei Yizhou to follow.

"Let's go sit over there. I want a cocktail made with coconut water!"

If she said she wanted a drink, Pei Yizhou would order one, and if there wasn't any, he would have someone make her a cup on the spot.

No matter how Lin Lu got it, as long as the cocktail was in her hands, it was fine.

It was a glass of orange-red wine, which contrasted beautifully with the sunset glow in the sky. Looking at the color, she was reluctant to drink it.

When the sunset glow retreated below the sea level, he said seriously, "It's time to drink it, otherwise the night won't come."

The person who lit the bonfire seemed to be cooperating with her. As soon as she drank the cup of "Sunset", the flames suddenly jumped up and burned in a circle around the inner diameter of the two rows of seats.

Lin Lu exclaimed in surprise and saw a couple next to them hugging each other taking advantage of this "sudden accident", without realizing that something was wrong.

Until the person who lit the bonfire held up a megaphone and said, "Okay, no more rejection on a special day. Now the secret admirers can confess their love, and the lovers can kiss each other!"

Her smile paused, and she slowly turned her head, meeting Pei Yizhou's gaze, who had a puzzled expression in the flickering firelight.
