Chapter 330: Chapter 156: The Storm

The salmon is delicious, sweet and fresh.

"Especially fresh," Su Huai nodded, then passed her a pair of chopsticks, "You try some too."

Gu Jiuyue tilted her head toward him and faced him sideways, cautiously dipping a bit of sauce.

After taking a bite, her eyes twinkled.

"Mmm, really different."

In fact, there was nothing particularly different about it; the fish they had caught was far from those super fatty big ones. It was merely the psychological thrill that enhanced their sensations.

"Then eat more, hmm, three pieces," he said.

Su Huai always remembered her sensitive stomach and subconsciously decided on the amount.

Gu Jiuyue obediently nodded, without any argument.

As a super-rich second-generation, she was really the worry-free type.

The girls watched their intimate gestures, giggling and emitting all sorts of strange sounds.

Luckily, Su Huai had thick skin, and Gu Jiuyue was used to excessive attention from the outside world, so both were barely affected.

However, it was different for the boys. As soon as they left Su Huai’s line of sight and reached a safe distance, they were immediately filled with indignation—

"Why the hell does Dog Class Leader get that privilege?"

"Gou Huai really doesn’t deserve it!"

"Damn it, it’s so irritating..."

The relationship between the guys was simple yet complicated, the Land Rover bore witness to this.

Gou Huai was both the recognized leader and the public enemy, his status changing depending on what he was doing.

— Extremely hateable when with Gu.

The cruise ship slowly sailed in the blue sea and sky, and at the peak of the afternoon sun, they finally approached the Xisha Archipelago.

"Wow, wow, wow! We’re almost there!"

The cruise stopped at Yongxing Island port, and when disembarking, the children were met with security checks.

The elder brother emphasized the disciplinary rules to them: no photography, no video recording, no random questions, do not venture into military areas, and only tour around residential zones.

Despite this, the youths’ curiosity and enthusiasm weren’t dampened.

Su Huai took Gu Jiuyue, Gao, Er Gao, Hua Qianqian and Ding Yi for a stroll from the port, only to become more bewildered as they walked.

"There doesn’t seem to be anything fun on this island?"

After walking half a circle, they realized there were no entertainment facilities on the island.

One billiard hall and one small internet cafe were all there was.

"Dizzy, how can it be like this?"

Gao and Er Gao seemed incredulous and then felt a strong sense of disappointment.

Su Huai was calm: "This place was never meant to be a tourist island, it’s a municipal administrative seat."

"But it’s so small, does it have thousands of people?"

"It seems there are only over 2000 people on the island."

"Is this the smallest city area in our country?"

"Probably, I can’t imagine it being smaller."

Su Huai laughed: "Don’t look down on this place, the inhabitants of Sansha are all given houses for free, and they don’t have to pay for school and medical care. There are more administrative staff on the island than residents, the days here are anything but hard."

"Wow! Really? Is that true?"

Su Huai shrugged: "That’s what I found on Baidu, it should be true, right? But they deserve it, guarding the southern gateway of the motherland on such a small piece of land, it’s not easy at all."

Ding Yi couldn’t help but be amazed: "True, if I had to stay here, I couldn’t handle it."

Hua Qianqian rarely interjected: "Then how do they manage grocery shopping and eating?"

Su Huai speculated: "Express delivery probably doesn’t reach here, they must rely on transport ships specially. As for meals, they just cook for themselves, right? There are only a few snack shops on the main street, you can’t have a feast."

"So tonight, we’re staying here, how are we going to solve dinner for over 50 people?"

Su Huai and Gu Jiuyue spoke in unison—

"Invite all the kitchens."

"What kitchens, let’s have a bonfire party, we’ll grill it ourselves!"

Su Huai truly knew how to please a rich lady; with a single sentence, he filled Gu Jiuyue with joy and anticipation.

"Is that possible?"

"Let me ask someone, it shouldn’t be a big problem. Let’s go, back to the guesthouse!"

Su Huai found the manager to consult, and the latter indicated that it needed approval. Just as Su Huai was about to go and communicate with government officials, Wu stopped him.

"You stay with the miss, I’ll go."

Tsk tsk, what a relief...

Wu made things smooth sailing; the government side was very friendly and gave priority to every team that could come to the island, starting to handle the venue in advance.

Then, as soon as Su Huai announced it in the group, everyone got excited, started planning, and discussing.

There was no tourist resort here, but they had ample experience in hosting bonfire parties. Not far from the beach, there was a specially designated bonfire pond, which ensured no pollution of the sands while allowing convenient photo ops and sea viewing.

And there was something particularly interesting—when the administration used those loudspeakers to specially inform the islanders, Su Huai felt like he was back in his rural hometown.

Once the announcement was made, the island buzzed with excitement.

The enthusiastic residents offered up many small stalls suitable for barbecuing, creating a small night market on the other side of the bonfire area.

The crowd was bustling, everyone knew each other regardless of status, and there was endless chatter.

All the children on the island, totaling around twenty or so, showed up, running around nearby, clamoring for this and that.

The college students from the capital were warmly welcomed; the charcoal was free and the ingredients fresh and cheap, making their dining experience delightful.

The bonfire was lit at 7 p.m. and extinguished by 10 p.m.

Over the course of the evening, around 300 people gathered around the bonfire, singing and dancing. Su Huai met teams from inspection groups, marine science teams, vacationing soldiers, warm-hearted administrators, fishermen, and a postal delivery person who happened to be there. People from all corners of the country came together, without a theme or knowing what was being celebrated, simply happy.

The square dancing ladies stood out a little and set up their loudspeakers on the other side, blaring "Little Apple" and "Above the Moon."
