April, South Beach, Miami, USA.

For a city with a tropical climate like Miami, it was the perfect time of year for vacations.

The blue water was sparkling; the white sand was soft; and there were many hot bikini-clad girls and guys hanging out there. Some were playing beach volleyball; some were surfing passionately; and the more peaceful ones were just lying on beach chairs and sunbathing.

For example, Jiang Lingwei.

Jiang Lingwei accompanied her grandmother, Fu Wenqing, to the United States for a vacation. This time, they drove, and the family visited a number of cities in the United States. For their next stop, they finally came to Miami.

One of her favorite cities.

Warm and free.

Jiang Lingwei was lying on a beach chair in a white bikini. She was holding a glass of lemonade in her hand, and while drinking it, she echoed her best friend, Zhou Ya’s words…

“What’s the use of regrets? Just give birth to it. I told you long ago not to be impulsive.”

Her best friend, Zhou Ya, was lying on the beach chair next to her, showing Jiang Lingwei the corner of her swimsuit. “Look at this scar on my stomach. I’m still scarred and can’t wear sexy bikinis like you for the rest of my life.”

Jiang Lingwei didn’t even look sideways. “I’m not looking.”

Zhou Ya sighed and put away her swimsuit. “I still envy you for being free, while I’m busy with diapers and breast-feeding every day. My husband can’t help me at work during the day. If he wasn’t on a vacation at home today, I wouldn’t have time to see you.”

Zhou Ya got married in Miami two years ago. Jiang Lingwei didn’t expect to meet her, and became a listener to a lot of complaints about her marriage.

She calmly took out her sunscreen. “That’s why I said earlier, what’s marriage? In this life, I only want to stay beautiful alone.”

Zhou Ya looked askance at her, “Do you really plan not to find someone to marry and live life with?”

Jiang Linwei squeezed out a little bit of cream, stretched her arms a little bit to apply it, and said while putting it on, “Why do I need to find someone to live with? Can’t I live alone?”

After a pause, she added, “I don’t need anyone to live my life.”

Zhou Ya fell into deep thought at her answer, and shook her head after a moment. “Maybe it’s the true love that you haven’t met yet. You never know when it comes to matters such as marriage.”

Jiang Linwei seemed to be amused by this statement. “Where does true love come from? Sorry, I only love myself.”

“…” Zhou Ya didn’t think so. “When you meet the person, you won’t say that.”

After all, to become BFF with Jiang Lingwei, the previous Zhou Ya was the same staunch believer of singlehood.

But since she met The One two years ago, she has willingly scaled back. Although she had been complaining about trivial matters about marriage in front of Jiang Lingwei, to sum everything up…

“At least when you are sick and suffering, he will be with you, know whether you’re warm or cold, and lend you a shoulder to lean on. He won’t let you feel alone.”

Jiang Lingwei smiled. “I don’t need it.”

“…”

In their group of their friends, even if there were some who weren’t married, they all had a fixed partner.

Only Jiang Lingwei was still single at the age of 27.

It was not because she couldn’t find a man. Not to mention her gorgeous appearance and elegant bearing, her academic qualifications have also left her peers behind in the nth streets.

She graduated from Columbia Law School and was now the general counsel of her family’s company, Yasheng Corporation.

With looks, education, and prominent family, she was perfect in all aspects.

But she never talked about feelings.

Playing was fine, but she never lost her heart to somebody.

“Come on, don’t always talk about these meaningless topics.” Jiang Lingwei finished applying sunscreen, and did the other arm. “Don’t rush back tonight. Accompany me for a couple of drinks before leaving.”

“Of course, I can finally come out and play. I want to get drunk with you tonight.”

Just then, Fu Wenqing’s voice came, “Lingwei, come over and help me take a picture.”

Jiang Lingwei looked not far away and said to Zhou Ya, “Wait a minute.”

After speaking, she got up and walked over to where the Old Lady was standing.

Fu Wenqing was stepping in the shallow water, her son and daughter-in-law were taking pictures for her, and the family was happily playing.

Jiang Lingwei walked over. “What kind of picture do you want?”

Lin Shu gave her the camera. “Help us take a photo with your grandma.”

Jiang Lingwei took the camera. “Then stand still.”

The seawater in the shallows was crystal clear with corals and seaweeds emerging from time to time. Jiang Lingwei stepped back, focusing on the camera lens and trying to find a suitable angle. She failed to notice that a few messy pieces of seaweed caught her ankle, so much so that when she retreated once more, she instantly lost her balance.

She was about to fall backwards into the shallows when a hand caught her from behind.

It was a pair of moist, slightly cool hands.

They grabbed her waist and held her steady.

The touch soon left Jiang Lingwei’s body, briefly as if she had never been touched.

But for some reason, her heart and soul seemingly wandered off for a second.

Jiang Lingwei subconsciously turned around just in time to meet the man eye to eye.

But just in a split second later, the pair of eyes retracted, and the man walked out of the shallows with several men with surfboards.

He was all wet, and after holding her up for a bit, he left without even looking back.

Not a single word was said.

In that second, Jiang Linwei remembered his face.

After helping Fu Wenqing take pictures, the Old Lady and her son and daughter-in-law went to pick up shells. Jiang Lingwei also returned to the beach chair, but her eyes wandered over the entire beach.

Seeing that she seemed to be looking for something, Zhou Ya asked, “Who are you looking for?”

Jiang Lingwei gently chewed on the straw, thinking about the stare-down just now, and said to herself, “A rather interesting man.”

“Interesting? How interesting?”

Perhaps because Jiang Lingwei had seen a lot of men who fawned over her on various occasions, but suddenly there was this one, who pinched her waist and left without a word or showing any reaction while she was wearing a sexy bikini.

On the contrary, he aroused Jiang Lingwei’s interest.
