After breaking up with his girlfriend after the college entrance exam, he became rich overnight by t

Inside a high-floor suite at the Armani Hotel.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire Dubai city center night view stretches out at your feet.

Countless golden cars stretched wildly along the eight-lane highway, their lights blazing brightly.

Xu An'an was forced to press herself against the cold, massive glass curtain wall.

His forehead was pressed against the cold glass, and Wang Ye was behind him.

Just over 400 meters below, the streetscape is shrunk to the size of an ant.

The visual impact of being suspended high in the air made her grip the expensive carpet with her toes.

"Wang Ye... you son of a bitch... find another place..."

Xu An'an's voice trembled as she pressed her hands against the glass to support herself.

"There are people down there... what if someone's looking through binoculars!"

Wang Ye held her slender waist and chuckled softly.

"One-way privacy glass at an altitude of over 400 meters."

"Even if you set up a telescope below, all you'll see is your upturned shadow."

"Isn't Director Xu, who usually boasts about being incredibly bold in the group chat, suddenly chickening out?"

Xu An'an bit her lip, and the force from behind made her sway slightly forward.

"Who's chickening out! This director..."

At this moment, Su Qingyan came up behind Wang Ye.

……

The next morning at 10:30.

The blinding sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains.

Wang Ye opened his eyes and sat up, feeling refreshed.

His enhanced physique made him completely unaware of the fatigue from hangovers or staying up all night.

Xu An'an, on the left, was still hugging Su Qingyan's waist, her cheek buried in Su Qingyan's chest, fast asleep.

Wang Ye threw off the covers and got out of bed. After washing up, he changed into a neat black tracksuit and put on a pair of sand-colored high-top desert boots.

Stepping out of the bedroom, the spacious living room is filled with the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee.

Gu Qingcheng, dressed in a neat, fitted beige suit dress, was checking her afternoon schedule on a tablet.

The two sisters, Jiang Bai and Jiang Xue, changed into matching short-sleeved sun-protective shirts and athletic shorts. Upon seeing Wang Ye, they immediately stood at attention and bowed in unison.

Good morning, boss!

Wang Ye walked to the dining table, sat down, grabbed a freshly baked mutton pancake, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Has the convoy for this afternoon's dune bashing been arranged yet?"

Gu Qingcheng closed the tablet, stepped forward, and reported with a smile:

"Everything has been finalized, Chairman."

"We avoided the typical mass-market dune bashing tours with dozens of Toyota Land Cruisers and opted instead for a private convoy of vehicles from the most upscale independent protected area in the area."

"Two classic 1950s convertible Land Rover Defenders were parked directly in the hotel's underground garage for shuttle service."

"We will depart promptly at 3 p.m., with a dedicated guide and photographer throughout the trip, and stay overnight at the Royal Stargazing Camp inside the reserve."

Wang Ye chewed on a mutton pie and nodded in satisfaction.

"Great, when you go out to play, you should go for the best, so you don't have to squeeze into the sandpit with ordinary tourists and eat sand."

Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Su Qingyan changed into a pair of white cotton and linen sun-protective trousers and a loose light blue long-sleeved shirt, and wore a wide-brimmed sun hat, making her look elegant and tall.

Behind her followed a sleepy-eyed Xu An'an.

Xu An'an wore a tight black halter top and a pair of super short distressed denim shorts.

As soon as she sat down at the dining table, Xu An'an glared fiercely at Wang Ye:

"Wang Ye! My back is killing me today! It's all your fault for going crazy last night!"

Wang Ye picked up his black coffee, took a sip, and remained expressionless.

"You could have said something different last night, and now you're blaming me?"

Xu An'an choked and coughed violently on the spot, her little face turning so red it looked like it could bleed.

Jiang Bai and Jiang Xue, standing nearby, covered their mouths and chuckled, while Su Qingyan rubbed her temples helplessly.

"An'an, hurry up and eat something. You'll be out in the desert in the scorching sun this afternoon, and there won't be anywhere for you to catch up on sleep."

Xu An'an angrily grabbed a piece of baked flatbread and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out like a pufferfish:

"Fine, I'll eat!"

……

It was exactly 3 p.m.

Armani Hotel Lobby Exclusive Drop-off Area.

Two convertible Land Rover Defenders, painted in a matte sand yellow with rugged, retro body lines, were emitting a deep idling roar.

A huge winch is mounted on the front of the vehicle, and a robust roll cage is welded around the body. There is no roof or side windows, and its pure mechanical wildness is palpable.

The personal guide, dressed in a neat light khaki uniform and wearing a traditional red Arab headscarf, bowed respectfully.

The guide said in extremely standard English:

Good afternoon, Mr. Wang and ladies.

"I am your personal guide for today, Abdullah. I will now lead you into the Dubai Desert Reserve."

Wang Ye responded fluently in authentic Arabic, with clear and smooth pronunciation.

Director Xiang's eyes widened instantly, and a deep sense of awe welled up in his eyes.

Xu An'an, completely bewildered, tugged at Su Qingyan's sleeve:

"When did Wang Ye learn to speak Arabic? Wasn't he a terrible student in high school?"

A glint of surprise flashed in Su Qingyan's eyes, and she responded in a low voice:

"He has many secrets, don't make a fuss."

Everyone boarded the vehicle.

Wang Ye, Su Qingyan, and Xu An'an got into the first retro Land Rover, while Gu Qingcheng and her twin sisters got into the car behind.

The convoy roared out of the city center, through dense clusters of skyscrapers, and headed south into the boundless inland desert.

The city skyscrapers outside the window quickly receded, and as far as the eye could see, they were gradually swallowed up by a vast, golden sea of ​​sand.

After driving for nearly an hour, the convoy turned into a private protected area with a warning sign and an iron gate.

The guide parked the car on a flat, hard sandy spot, jumped out, took out the tire pressure gauge, and deflated the four huge all-terrain off-road tires.

"Lower tire pressure to increase the tire contact patch on the loose sand dunes. Everyone get ready, the real dune bashing is about to begin!"

The guide turned over and sat back in the driver's seat, shifting the transfer case into the low-speed four-wheel drive mode.

next moment!

boom--!

The V8 engine suddenly roared furiously!

Like an enraged sand beast, the retro Land Rover spewed out a plume of blue smoke from its exhaust pipe and charged fiercely toward the massive, continuous sand dunes ahead!

"Aaaaaah—!!"

The front of the car suddenly lifted nearly 45 degrees, and Xu An'an instantly lost her balance, screaming as she grabbed Wang Ye's arm.

The lump pressed against Wang Ye's forearm, making his eyebrows twitch.

"Wang Ye! Hold on tight! We're going to crash!!"

The car's speed instantly soared to over 60 kilometers per hour!

A giant sand dune, tens of meters high, came crashing down on them. Instead of slowing down, the guide slammed on the accelerator!

The wheels kicked up a raging cloud of yellow sand, like a moving sand wall pulling wildly at the rear of the vehicle!

At the moment it reached the highest point of the sand dune, the entire vehicle was almost completely suspended in the air!

The four wheels soared into the air and then crashed heavily onto the soft quicksand on the leeward slope!

The guide swerved the steering wheel sharply, causing the Land Rover Defender to slide down the steep sand dune at an extremely dangerous 60-degree angle!

"That was so exciting!!"

Su Qingyan gripped the roll cage in front of her with both hands. Her usually aloof face was now flushed with excitement, and her long hair danced wildly in the wind.

Xu An'an was so frightened that she buried her face in Wang Ye's chest, muttering incoherently:

"I want to go home!! Help!! Buddha, please protect me!! Jade Emperor, please protect me!!"

Wang Ye leaned back in his leather chair, one arm around the trembling Xu An'an, looking completely at ease and even bursting into laughter:

"Weren't you quite arrogant at the hotel just now? Why are you suddenly praying to gods and Buddhas?"

"Director Xu, open your eyes and look! This view is absolutely stunning!"

After traversing seven or eight sharp sand dunes, each tens of meters high, the vehicle drifted and spun wildly in the sea of ​​sand.

After half an hour of intense sand-driving and bumping, the vehicle finally slowed down and came to a stop on top of a giant red sand dune that was nearly 100 meters high.

The director turned off the engine, smiled, turned around, and gave a thumbs-up:

"Everyone, we've arrived at the best viewpoint for this dune bashing trip. The dune sunset is about to begin."

……

He pushed open the car door and jumped out.

The red sand beneath my feet was fine and warm, and when I stepped on it, it instantly went up to my ankles.

Looking around, all you see is a vast, undulating sea of ​​sand with lines as beautiful as silk.

The gale had subsided, and the entire desert was so quiet that you could hear your own breathing.

It was 5:30 p.m.

The setting sun on the horizon resembled a giant ball of crimson gold, slowly sinking towards the yellow sandy horizon.

The sky was dyed a deep, rich purple and crimson, and the golden sunlight slanted across the sand ridges, carving out cold, deep black shadows on the leeward side of each dune.

Xu An'an broke free from Wang Ye's embrace, patted the sand off her body, and stood frozen in place, gazing at the stunning sunset before her.

"Oh My God……"

She murmured to herself, the fear she had felt moments before vanishing instantly:

"This is so beautiful...it looks like it was painted..."

Su Qingyan walked slowly to the edge of the sand ridge, her bare feet stepping into the fine sand. The evening breeze blew through her white cotton and linen trousers, making her look like a proud snow lotus standing on the barren plain.

Wang Ye took the camera from the back seat of the car and casually raised the lens.

Click!

In the backlight of the setting sun, the moment Su Qingyan turned her head was perfectly captured.

The golden outlines accentuate her graceful jawline and swan-like neck, and the entire photograph exudes a cinematic grandeur and vastness.

Seeing this, Xu An'an immediately rushed forward, not to be outdone, and straddled a protruding sand ridge, tossing her long hair with both hands and striking a pose:

"Wang Ye, take a picture of me! Capture my desert queen aura!"

Wang Ye adjusted the focus and aimed at her.

Pressing the shutter repeatedly, every shot is a top-notch masterpiece.

The guide took out folding tables and chairs from the trunk and placed them on a silver tray.

Traditional Arabic cardamom tea, plump dates, and nuts are neatly arranged on a glass dish.

Six people sat on folding chairs at the top of the sand ridge, holding warm, slightly sweet black tea in their hands, quietly watching the huge setting sun sink completely into the end of the sea of ​​sand.

As the last rays of dawn faded, countless stars, like shattered diamonds, instantly filled the dark, deep Middle Eastern night sky.

The temperature in the entire desert plummeted, and the cool evening breeze invigorated everyone.
