Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 363 - 146: Farewell, Our Youth! (Part 2)
Ah, mom, you’re asking a bit too much of me.
I can guarantee other things, but this I really can’t promise!
...
Although it’s only a little over a hundred kilometers, taking a train first then switching to a bus, we arrived at the seaside in the afternoon.
Upon arrival, we checked into the hotel first thing.
Su Zelin had already booked the hotel three days ago.
Tourism at the beginning of the 21st century wasn’t as bustling as it will be later since transportation wasn’t very developed, but there were still many people coming to play by the seaside during summer vacation, not to mention this is a popular tourist area, so booking in advance is more reliable.
As we walked into the hotel, everyone was awestruck by its grand and luxurious appearance.
"Wow, this hotel is so grand, the environment is great, and there’s even a swimming pool!"
"The beach isn’t far, we can go to the seaside to play anytime, how convenient!"
"But, isn’t a hotel this luxurious expensive?"
Everyone was very satisfied, but Lu Haoran was also quite concerned about the room charges.
"Don’t worry, I’ve been keeping an eye online, there was a room-grabbing event earlier, and I quickly grabbed two rooms at a huge discount, much cheaper than usual!"
Su Zelin found an excuse.
Actually, this hotel just opened, and given its good location and it’s peak season, it couldn’t be cheap or have any promotions.
The wealthy ones don’t care about money, but to preserve his friends’ dignity, the expenses for this trip were AA in name, so he had to report the cost as lower.
The others didn’t suspect anything because they’ve never stayed in hotels before and didn’t know how much a hotel of this level in a resort area costs, so they just left everything to Su Zelin.
Leaving the others in the lobby sofas, Su Zelin gathered everyone’s household register or ID card, found a staff member, and after a short while, the registration was complete, and he got the room keys.
Taking the others, they headed upstairs following the room keys.
Two double rooms, one for the girls and one for the boys.
As soon as the door opened, Xiaoyanzi was thrilled. She ran out to the balcony: "Facing the sea, the view is unbeatable, isn’t this like a scene from ’Meteor Garden’? I never thought I’d be staying in a place like this; I won’t even want to sleep tonight, 55555..."
Despite their very excited mood, they reined it in.
The sunlight at two in the afternoon was still very harsh, going to the beach to play at this time would definitely get them a sunburn.
They ate some food they had brought along and went back to their rooms to rest for a bit.
While taking out towels, toothbrushes, slippers, and other items, Su Zelin unexpectedly found something that shouldn’t have been in his backpack.
A box of Shuangdie!
This product is a domestic item produced by the Qingdao latex factory, and the quality is exceptional.
When he was a kid, this rascal found it in his dad’s and mom’s drawer, didn’t know what it was, and treated it like a balloon, even filled it with some water and threw it at people without it breaking. It’s worthy of being called a national treasure product.
Actually, many people don’t know, Ah Du is also an OEM product of the Qingdao latex factory.
The factory is Ah Du’s only designated partner in China.
Su Zelin almost fainted, both crying and laughing.
Mom, you really went all out, sneaking this into my backpack!
You hold me in too high regard, can I even use this now?
"Hey, Zelin, what’s that in your hand?"
Seeing Su Zelin staring blankly at the box of Shuangdie, Lu Haoran, who had already tidied up their clothes and luggage on the other bed, asked curiously.
Luckily they were far apart, and the honest man was a bit nearsighted, so he couldn’t see it clearly.
"Cigarettes!"
Su Zelin calmly stuffed it back into his backpack.
If his best buddy knew what it was, he might be scared out of his wits, too afraid to sleep tonight without wearing three pairs of underwear.
"Oh!"
Lu Haoran didn’t suspect anything, but he was a little puzzled.
The packaging of cigarettes nowadays is really getting more and more flashy.
...
As the sun slanted westward, the sunlight became less harsh, and the orange-red sunset spread across the entire sky, peaceful and romantic.
The waves under the sky were vividly colored by the sunset glow, surging and rolling like burning flames.
The sunset over the sea is the most colorful and splendid moment of the day.
The sea and sky were one, the entire long stretch of beach seemed to have transformed into a golden coast.
Some people played in the sea, some collected shells on the shore, some built sandcastles on the beach...
The rising and falling laughter seemed like waves coming one after another, each higher than the last.
Su Zelin wore a pair of sunglasses, looking extremely cool, wearing only swim trunks, and lied lazily on a rented beach chair.
The results of the rascal’s regular exercises were particularly evident this moment.
His figure was tall and slender, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, clearly defined eight-pack abs and the V-line muscles, each muscle was sharp and well-formed, exuding a strong aura of masculinity.
Such a body is very much in line with the East Asian aesthetic, with body fat percentage controlled at around ten percent, just right.
The girls passing by couldn’t help but take a few more glances, some almost drooling.
Actually, Su Zelin was also secretly checking out the girls. Wearing sunglasses to the beach is very necessary, not only to block the dazzling light but also to freely admire those fair long legs without others knowing where your gaze behind the shades is fixed, you can focus or scatter as you like.
As for Qin Shiqing and the others, they had gone off to play in the sea water.
The concerns of the two families were unnecessary, this open sea area had lifeguards watching, and there were so many people in the water, like dumplings, those sticking to the shallow water for fun wouldn’t be able to rush out, a large crowd was blocking the way ahead.
