Chapter 21 Half a Coconut on the Beach Rocks
The treasure hunt ended at lightning speed, and the production team was forced to distribute steaks and red wine ahead of schedule.
Chef Huang and Teacher He started a fire in the yard to fry steaks, while Chen Yu diligently washed lettuce nearby.
The atmosphere inside the Conch House was lively, except for Zhao Yifan, who was huddled in a corner questioning his existence.
Lin Yan had no interest in Western food.
He found the smell of cooking oil in the yard too strong, so he grabbed a folding fruit knife, stuffed a Bluetooth speaker into his pocket, and slipped away, leaving the conch house behind.
Six o'clock in the evening.
The orange-red sunset dyed the sea surface into a shimmering gold, and the sea breeze, having shed the daytime heat, became gentle and mild.
Lin Yan climbed onto a huge black reef at the very edge of Moon Bay.
This spot is sheltered from the wind, offers a superb view, and perfectly avoids the camera positions on the beach.
He turned on the speaker, played some soothing light music, lay sprawled out on the flat stone, and sighed contentedly.
"The ultimate secret to salted fish is to stay away from people."
I had just closed my eyes when I heard faint footsteps behind me.
Lin Yan opened one eye.
Shen Qingqiu, wearing a simple white floral dress and barefoot, was carefully climbing onto the rocks.
The sea breeze ruffled her skirt and long hair, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast a soft glow on her cool and beautiful profile.
This scene is so beautiful it has a cinematic quality.
"Why are you here?" Lin Yan sat up.
"It's noisy in the yard, and I don't like the well-done steak that Teacher Huang makes." Shen Qingqiu walked over and sat down naturally next to him.
She sat with her legs together, her hands wrapped around her knees, quietly watching the sunset in the distance.
During the three years Lin Yan was exploited at Xingyao Entertainment, he witnessed firsthand the cutthroat competition within the industry.
But in Shen Qingqiu, he only saw purity.
Although this woman is a superstar, she is actually a homebody who is extremely insecure and even somewhat socially anxious.
"Are you thirsty?" Lin Yan asked.
Shen Qingqiu nodded.
Lin Yan stood up and walked to the edge of the reef. He looked up at the leaning coconut tree above, which had several golden coconuts hanging on it.
Unlike other young male celebrities who climb trees to create a persona, he looked around and picked up a large, angular rock.
After weighing the stone in his hand, Lin Yan aimed at his target and hurled it.
"Bang!"
The stone struck precisely at the vulnerable spot at the base of the coconut.
A plump golden coconut fell onto the soft sand with a thud.
Lin Yan jumped down, picked up the coconut, and climbed back onto the reef.
"I didn't bring a straw."
He took out his folding knife and skillfully sliced the top of the coconut.
With a few swift cuts, a clean, small opening was made in the hard coconut shell.
Lin Yan first lifted the coconut and took a big gulp. The sweet coconut juice slid down his throat, quenching his thirst.
"Here you are."
He casually handed the coconut to Shen Qingqiu.
Shen Qingqiu was stunned.
She looked at the coconut that Lin Yan had drunk from, and her fair cheeks unconsciously flushed slightly.
Looking into Lin Yan's clear, innocent eyes, Shen Qingqiu still reached out and accepted the gift.
She pressed her lips to the other side of the incision, tilted her head back, and took a small sip.
Very sweet.
Whether it was the taste of the coconut or something else, the sweetness stirred an unknown ripple in her heart.
"Is it good?" Lin Yan asked casually.
"Um."
Shen Qingqiu responded softly, holding the coconut in her arms, showing no intention of returning it to him.
The two sat side by side on the rocks, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks.
"You're really planning to just fish and lie around all day after you give up being a singer?" Shen Qingqiu suddenly broke the silence.
"Otherwise what? Going to events every day, facing those fake smiling faces?" Lin Yan leaned back, putting her hands behind her head.
"I just want to save enough money to buy a small villa with a yard, where I can sleep in until I naturally wake up every day. When I'm happy, I can write a couple of songs; when I'm not, I can go to the beach and just relax. That's the kind of life I want to live."
Shen Qingqiu turned her head to look at him.
In this circle where everyone is scrambling to climb the ladder, Lin Yan is like an outcast, yet she exudes a deadly attraction.
"What if my studio not only provides you with room and board, but also buys you a villa with a yard?"
Shen Qingqiu blurted out, her ears turning bright red as soon as she finished speaking. She quickly tried to cover it up, saying, "I meant... as an employee perk for you writing songs for me."
Lin Yan raised an eyebrow and deliberately dragged out his words: "The boss is so generous. Then I'll just stay here."
At this moment, they were more than 100 meters above and behind their heads in mid-air.
A silent aerial drone belonging to the production crew is hovering quietly below the clouds.
As darkness fell, the drone switched to ultra-high-definition telephoto mode.
In the control room.
Director Wang, watching the footage transmitted back from the screen, slapped his thigh excitedly: "God-level composition! This scene is breathtaking!"
"Sunset, waves, rocks! The aloof diva and the carefree rogue are sharing a coconut! Switch the camera! Quickly, switch to the main live stream! The ratings are going to explode!"
The screen simultaneously switched to a live stream with tens of millions of viewers online.
There was no sound, only a beautiful scene and the white noise of distant waves.
Lin Yan leaned against the rock, while Shen Qingqiu held a coconut.
Although the two did not speak, the tension between them in their eye contact was palpable.
The barrage of comments was instantly flooded with pink bubbles.
[Ahhhhhh, I'm dying of joy!]
[The God of Pure Love falls to the ground! Kill me to entertain them!]
Is that half-coconut the important part? That's an indirect kiss, folks, help!
[One minute he's solving advanced mathematics problems, the next he's charming the empress with his tender side. Lin Yan, how many more surprises do you have in store for me?]
[#QiuyanCP# Lock them up! I'll swallow the key!]
This scene was absolutely brilliant; it completely cured my mental exhaustion from the day.
That night, the topic of the half coconut and the sunset at the beach occupied four spots in the top ten trending topics on Weibo.
