The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

Jiang Yiqiu drove to pick up Chen Shi. Chen Shi told his parents to take care of themselves at home, then got in the car and headed to Yizhou.

Chen Shi drove from Fushan Town to Yizhou, which took about five hours. From Fushan Town to Chunyang County, it took two hours via the provincial highway.

There were many cars, the road was narrow, and it passed through many villages, making it impossible to drive fast. Every time Chen Shi traveled this road, he would think to himself that when he became the county magistrate, the first thing he would do was to build a highway to connect the townships below. It took too much time for the townships below to come up to the county seat.

Leaving the county seat, the first town we passed through was Heyuan Town, the second was Shangying Town, the third was Fushan Town, the fourth was Huangchang Town, and the fifth was Laoyan Town.

It takes more than three hours to get from Laoyan Town to the county seat.

It took three hours to get to Yizhou from Chunyang on the highway. After getting on the highway, Chen Shi felt much better and sped off, reaching a speed of 150 kilometers per hour.

Jiang Yiqiu said, "Drive slowly, we're not in a hurry."

Chen Shi grinned mischievously: "Let me show you the speed and passion."

"Safety is important. You're a leader, so be careful," Jiang Yiqiu said with a worried expression.

"It's been a long time since I've driven, let's experience some speed and passion."

Chen Shi was a very good driver, weaving through traffic. He covered a journey that would normally take three hours, but he arrived in Yizhou in just two hours.

Jiang Yiqiu took out his phone and received a text message about speeding: "I was caught speeding twice, fined 300 yuan and had six points deducted from my license."

Chen Shi asked, "How many points do you have left on your driver's license?"

"I never break any traffic rules while driving, and I've never had any points deducted from my license."

"It's okay, we only lost six points, so we still have six points left. Just drive slowly on the way back."

The car was parked at the airport. Jiang Yiqiu checked the time and saw that it was still early, so the two found a hotel to rest for a while.

The flight is at 8 PM.

The two of them got up at seven o'clock to catch their flight. It was their first time taking a flight at night.

Jiang Yiqiu bought a business class seat, which was very comfortable. Before he knew it, he had arrived in Sanya.

As the two walked out of the airport, a group of people surrounded them, asking where they were going.

Jiang Yiqiu had booked a hotel in advance; it was a sea-view room, from which one could see the ocean.

Jiang Yiqiu asked, "How much does a honeymoon hotel cost?"

A short, stout middle-aged man said, "One thousand, get in and we're leaving."

Chen checked the navigation on his phone; it was over forty kilometers and would cost a thousand. He thought, "Why don't we just rob someone?"

A tall, thin man said, "I only need five hundred, and I'll take you there."

The short, fat man shouted, "You quote a low price to lure customers into your car, then halfway there you say the car breaks down and you need to pay extra for repairs. You won't leave unless you pay extra. How unethical is that?"

The tall, thin man glared at the short, fat man: "What did you say? Say it again! Who overcharged you along the way? Show me the evidence! Don't make baseless accusations. You're the one who's immoral. You charge a thousand for a 40-50 kilometer trip? Why don't you just rob someone?"

Chen Shi pulled Jiang Yiqiu out of the crowd, not wanting to hear them arguing: "We didn't bring anything heavy, just two backpacks, very light. We'll take a bus to the city first, and then take a taxi from the city to the honeymoon hotel."

Chen Shi went to buy a bus ticket to the city center, which cost fifteen yuan per person.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the bus departed, and the two boarded. It took more than forty minutes to reach the city center.

It cost a little over 100 yuan to take a taxi from the city to the honeymoon hotel.

The two checked in and went to their room. Jiang Yiqiu looked around and thought it was pretty good. He could see the sea as soon as he opened the curtains.

The ocean is boundless, just like it appears on television.

Jiang Yiqiu asked, "We're not short of money, why don't we take a private car and come to the hotel?"

Chen Shi lay on the big bed: "It's not a matter of lacking money. When you're out in a strange place, safety comes first."

Late at night, we had no idea where they were taking us. Raising the price halfway through was a minor issue; the real problem was that they might have some malicious intentions.

"It's a little inconvenience, but wouldn't it be better to use the money saved on yourself? When you travel, don't waste money."

Jiang Yiqiu was afraid to travel alone before because he was worried about safety. He only felt safe with Chen Shi by his side.

Jiang Yiqiu went to take a bath, and Chen Shi became interested and went to take a bath as well. Jiang Yiqiu shouted, "I hate you! Don't touch me like that!"

The two took a bath together, and after three nights of making love, they still didn't want to get out of bed even at noon.

Chen Shi felt extremely tired, as if his body had been completely drained.

Jiang Yiqiu got up and dressed, drew back the curtains, and saw a huge crowd on the beach. He exclaimed, "Get up quickly, let's go to the beach! There are so many people!"

Chen Shi lay in bed, not wanting to get up, but Jiang Yiqiu pulled him up: "I told you to do it less often last night, but you insisted. When you're on vacation, you need to conserve your energy."

"I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep." Chen Shi lay down and slept until two o'clock before getting up, mainly because he was hungry.

Chen Shi stood up and asked, "What shall we eat? We're hungry."

"When you come to the beach, you definitely have to have a seafood feast."

"Let's go have a seafood feast." Chen Shi was so hungry he could barely walk.

The two arrived at a seafood restaurant, where Jiang Yiqiu ordered lobster, abalone, salmon, crab, and other seafood, filling the table to the brim.

Chen Shi ate heartily, and seeing that Jiang Yiqiu only ate a little, he asked, "Why aren't you eating? It tastes good."

"I've had breakfast, so I'm not hungry now."

Chen Shi finished off the food on the table by himself and then asked the waiter for the bill.

The waiter smiled and said, "That'll be 1,500 in total. Will you be paying by card or cash?"

Chen Shi, who ate alone, spent 1,500 yuan and looked at the waiter, saying, "Why is it so expensive?"

"Our prices are all clearly marked, and they're considered cheap on this street."

Chen Shi looked at the bill and thought, "Damn, it's expensive!"

Jiang Yiqiu took out his credit card: "Swipe the card."

As the two walked out of the restaurant, Jiang Yiqiu said, "The prices here are much higher than in Guilin."

"It's normal for seafood to be a bit more expensive."

The two arrived at the beach. Jiang Yiqiu changed into a bikini, while Chen Shi wore shorts and went to the sand to look at the beautiful women.

Each one was sexier and more alluring than the last, and Chen Shi stared at them intently.

Jiang Yiqiu exclaimed, "I suspect you came to the beach just to see all sorts of bikini-clad beauties."

Chen Shi gave Jiang Yiqiu an awkward smile: "I came to the beach mainly to see the sea, and incidentally to catch a glimpse of the beautiful women. They're nowhere near as good as you."

There were many men staring at Jiang Yiqiu.

Chen Shi pulled Jiang Yiqiu to ride a speedboat. On the speedboat, Chen Shi hugged Jiang Yiqiu and shouted.

"Jiang Yiqiu, I love you."

"Chen Shi, I love you too."

The speedboat driver cursed inwardly, "Two lunatics, shouting and yelling, it's so jarring."

Chen Shi carried Jiang Yiqiu off the yacht, dug a hole on the beach, buried Jiang Yiqiu in it, leaving only his head sticking out.

Jiang Yiqiu smiled broadly: "How come you're like a child, still so innocent?"

"Men are boys until they die; on the beach, no one knows anyone, just playing around."

Chen Shi pulled Jiang Yiqiu out and took him swimming in the sea.

Jiang Yiqiu shouted, "I can't swim!"

"Yes, I will. Hold me tight."

"This is the ocean, no joke."

The seawater lapped against the beach. Chen Shi pulled Jiang Yiqiu along and swam for a while before being washed out by the waves.

Jiang Yiqiu took a few sips of seawater, and Chen Shi laughed heartily: "Is seawater tasty?"

"You big bad guy, stay away from me."

Jiang Yiqiu kicked Chen Shi twice and lay weakly on the beach.

Chen Shi had never been on a ship before, so he got up, pulled Jiang Yiqiu along, and went to experience it.

Travel is about experiencing things you've never done before.
