I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 193

Under Annie’s lead, the two found a quiet corner and sat down.

“What would the two of you like to eat?”

Annie smiled as she handed over the menu and asked.

Lin Xian roughly flipped through it and said indifferently, “Recommend some of your restaurant’s signature dishes!”

Annie nodded and said, “For the main course, I recommend the Wellington steak, medium rare. Also, the pan-seared scallops are very popular, they shouldn’t disappoint you. As for the pre-meal and post-meal desserts, they are completely self-service, you can choose whatever you like.”

At the end, she added, “Oh, and I highly recommend our restaurant’s cocktails, every diner praises them.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go with what you said!”

The restaurant played 80s European and American golden oldies, with a soothing melody.

Not long after, Annie walked over with the cocktails.

Looking at the colorful and brilliant cocktails in the glass, Lin Xian picked up the glass and took a sip.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Zhang Mengyao curiously asked, “How does it taste?”

“Very strange!”

Lin Xian raised his eyebrows, not knowing how to describe it, he could only use the word strange to express himself.

The taste was complex, yet perfectly blended together.

When the drink first entered his mouth, it felt strange, but after a few more sips, he found it quite delicious.

And the more he drank, the more addicted he became, like eating Mentos, with a feeling of being unable to stop.

Putting down the glass, Lin Xian smiled and said, “It’s hard to describe, you’ll know if you try it yourself.”

Zhang Mengyao picked up the glass with some anticipation and took a small sip.

“Hmm!”

She frowned slightly, then said with a strange expression, “What a strange drink, but it’s not bad.”

Annie, who was standing by, seemed accustomed to this reaction, a faint smile on her lips.

Soon, Lin Xian finished a glass of cocktail.

Smacking his lips, he said with a lingering taste, “Annie, please get me another one!”

“No problem!”

Annie smiled slightly and turned to walk towards the bar.

Indeed, this cocktail became more and more appealing, and more flavorful the more he drank it.

Sipping cocktails and listening to the soothing music, the two chatted leisurely.

The Wellington steak at this restaurant was indeed very good. The steak was not marinated, retaining its original flavor.

Although it was medium rare, there was no fishy smell or blood.

The meat was tender and juicy. Although it didn’t melt in the mouth like Wagyu beef, the texture was not bad.

Zhang Mengyao preferred the pan-seared scallops, which were fragrant and drizzled with broccoli sauce and raisins, having a unique flavor.

Both were very satisfied with this meal.

Especially when it came to paying the bill, Lin Xian could hardly believe it.

Including cocktails and tips, it was only twelve hundred yuan in total.

This price was very affordable for a Michelin restaurant.

After dinner, the two did not immediately return to the beach.

Going to the beach at this time would be torture. At Zhang Mengyao’s suggestion, the two held hands and walked towards the aquarium.

Staying in the Poseidon Underwater Suite offered many conveniences, one of which was unlimited access to all hotel facilities.

There was no need to queue for tickets; simply presenting the black room card, which represented their identity, allowed them to enjoy the convenience.

Strolling through the aquarium, Zhang Mengyao suddenly said, “Lin Xian, look, the little white whale that spied on us last night!”

“Hmm?”

Lin Xian was startled and followed the direction of her finger. Sure enough, he saw a little white whale swimming towards them.

After carefully observing it, he raised his eyebrows and said, “It might not be the same one from last night, all white whales look pretty similar.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xian was proven wrong.

The little white whale seemed to recognize them, opening its mouth and wiggling its body, looking exceptionally happy.

It even proactively approached and gently nudged the glass with its head.

Oh my!

It really was the one from last night!

Zhang Mengyao glared at the little white whale, pouting, and said, “Lin Xian, I think it’s mocking us!”

Lin Xian immediately chuckled and said, “You can rent diving equipment over there. How about I rent a set and go down to teach it a lesson for you?”

Zhang Mengyao was a little tempted, but after comparing their sizes, she finally shook her head and said, “Forget it, let it off this time!”

“Alright, as you wish!”

Lin Xian suppressed his laughter and said seriously.

This trip to Yasan made him discover Zhang Mengyao’s cuteness.

That little white whale was also very interesting. It followed them all the way. Wherever Lin Xian went, it followed, constantly blowing bubbles from its mouth.

Stroking his chin, Lin Xian pondered, “Why do I always feel like it’s spitting at us? No, I must teach it a lesson!”

“Pfft!”

Zhang Mengyao couldn’t help but burst into laughter, leaning against his shoulder.

The two strolled until past three o’clock before leaving the aquarium.

Driving the beach buggy to the private beach, Lin Xian noticed that there were many more tourists compared to the morning.

In the sea, many tourists were having a great time on surfboards.

Lin Xian felt a little tempted and said, “Honey, why don’t we go try it too?”

“You go, I didn’t wear a swimsuit!”

Zhang Mengyao lay on a beach chair, biting a straw, leisurely sipping coconut juice, looking as comfortable as a salted fish.

Seeing this, Lin Xian also felt too lazy to go. He lay beside her, hands behind his head, quietly enjoying the cool sea breeze.

This kind of life was truly too comfortable!

The essence of life is a journey.

Some strive forward, wanting to reach the end; some take a different path, wanting to experience different lives…

Everyone has their own choice, whether active or passive.

Lin Xian just wanted to walk this journey unhurriedly, without chasing or rushing, relaxed and at ease.

This attitude towards life cannot be judged as good or bad, right or wrong, but it is highly infectious.

Spending a long time with him, one would gradually be assimilated, becoming another salted fish.

Apparently, Zhang Mengyao had unknowingly been assimilated by Lin Xian.

The parasol above blocked the scorching sun and UV rays, and the cool sea breeze made them incredibly comfortable.

Slowly, Lin Xian felt his eyelids growing heavier and heavier, finally drifting into a dream.

When he woke up again, the sun was setting, about to sink below the horizon.

The sun’s remaining afterglow dyed the entire sea and beach golden.

“You’re awake?”

Zhang Mengyao squatted on the nearby beach, brushing away the strands of hair disheveled by the sea breeze.

In an instant, that pure yet alluring charm ignited a fiery warmth in Lin Xian’s heart.
