[Is the fourth male lead angry?]
[Help! He looks like a parent scolding a child.]
[I think she's like a jealous dog confronting its boyfriend.]
[Did you know? Xie Wang has been guarding the shore since six in the morning, waiting for Shuangjiang and the others to return.]
[Hilarious! What is Mr. Xie trying to do?]
[His first time going to an island with another man during his first summer vacation, he was heartbroken.]
Inside the RV, Ling Shuangjiang sat upright, scrutinizing Xie Wang's stern face, and raised the corner of her eye: "What's wrong? You seem a little unhappy."
Xie Wang frowned: "Shuangjiang, I saw you on a date with Lu Shaoheng yesterday."
"What do you see?" Ling Shuangjiang asked with some curiosity. "Are you next door to us?"
Xie Wang: "I watched the live stream."
Ling Shuangjiang nodded knowingly and asked softly, "You watched our live stream, and then what?"
Xie Wang leaned against the counter, his tone serious: "I think that kid Lu Shaoheng is trying to seduce you."
This made Ling Shuangjiang laugh. Suddenly remembering something, he quickly asked, "You watched the entire live stream?"
Xie Wang shook his head: "No, I only saw the part where Lu Shaoheng confessed to you."
Ling Shuangjiang looked Xie Wang's eyes meaningfully, and said in a light tone, "Yes, Lu Shaoheng confessed to me."
Seeing Ling Shuangjiang's love-struck appearance, Xie Wang earnestly advised, "Shuangjiang, don't you think he's not serious about relationships at all?"
Ling Shuangjiang was tired, leaning against the bedside, her right hand supporting her chin: "Not serious about the relationship? How did you figure that out?"
Xie Wang said anxiously, "You've only known each other for a few days? And he keeps confessing his feelings for you. You should be careful of this smooth-talking man."
Ling Shuangjiang retorted lazily, "What if it's love at first sight?"
"Impossible." Xie Wang was very dismissive of the term. "Love at first sight is mostly lust at first sight. He's just after you."
Ling Shuangjiang slowly savored those words, her gaze traveling up Xie Wang's legs and landing on his Adam's apple.
Indeed, there was an element of lust involved.
“I’m an adult, and I know how to handle relationships, so please don’t worry.” Just as Ling Shuangjiang was about to get up, Xie Wang suddenly stood up: “Shuangjiang, I really think that Lu Shaoheng is not very steady.”
Xie Wang spoke these words hastily and angrily, his neck turning slightly red.
Seeing this, Ling Shuangjiang walked to Xie Wang's side, took his arm, and comforted him: "I know you are good to me, and I know you are worried about me from the bottom of your heart. I am very lucky to have such a good friend as you."
Xie Wang's tone softened slightly: "You know that's enough. There are so many good men in the world, why would you choose Lu Shaoheng? There are plenty of high-quality men around me, any one of them would be a million times better than Lu Shaoheng."
Ling Shuangjiang glanced at him discreetly, her tone gentle: "Brother, can I ask you for a favor?"
Xie Wang's heart softened: "Tell me, as long as it's within my power, I will do everything in my power to help you."
Ling Shuangjiang: "Then could you pick any decent man from around you and introduce him to me as my boyfriend?"

Chapter 27 The Dog's Grievance
Ling Shuangjiang's tone was soft, and her slightly upturned peach blossom eyes added to her innocent and endearing appearance.
The two were so close that they could feel each other's breathing.
One is flat, the other is fast; the contrast is obvious.
After a moment, Xie Wang turned his head to avoid Ling Shuangjiang's gaze: "They are all excellent, but none of them are good enough for you."
Ling Shuangjiang tilted her head: "But I've heard that the fastest way to get over a relationship is to find a new partner."
Xie Wang frowned, recalling the ungrateful man who had hurt Ling Shuangjiang.
"But you have to take your time choosing a boyfriend, otherwise he won't cherish you and will make you sad."
Ling Shuangjiang sighed, "That's true."
Seeing the worry between his brows, Xie Wang became a little anxious and tried to dispel his eagerness to find a boyfriend, saying, "You're still young, listen to me, take your time."
Ling Shuangjiang hummed in agreement, crossed her arms, and looked Xie Wang up and down: "Then can you show me photos of those single, high-quality men around you?"
Xie Wang paused, then said, "No."
Ling Shuangjiang: "Why?"
Xie Wang looked out the window guiltily: "I didn't bring my phone, so I can't show it to you."
Ling Shuangjiang pointed to his pocket: "I saw it."
Xie Wang quickly covered his mouth and stammered, "They're not here, they're all on other phones."
Ling Shuangjiang chuckled and raised her eyebrows: "I think you're just saying that. In reality, you don't want me to date Lu Shaoheng, nor do you want to introduce me to a boyfriend."
Xie Wang didn't know why, but hearing Ling Shuangjiang say that made him feel a pang of sadness and pain.
Finally, he relented: "Okay, I'll check their WeChat Moments for you."
Ling Shuangjiang leaned closer: "You're so kind."
"These people probably like boys."
Xie Wang slowly scrolled through his phone, showing Ling Shuangjiang the Moments posts of these people. Watching Ling Shuangjiang carefully selecting and examining them, he felt an unbearable displeasure.
"He's good-looking, at least 185cm tall, and very handsome."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled at him: "I like this type of guy."
Xie Wang glanced casually at the man's photo, expressionless: "His hair is thinning; his future is rather dangerous."
Ling Shuangjiang suppressed a laugh and continued browsing: "What about this one? I think he's not bad either."
Xie Wang: "He's quite a womanizer; he changes boyfriends every year."
Ling Shuangjiang asked in surprise, "Isn't a year a long time?"
Xie Wang replied seriously, "It's short."
Ling Shuangjiang picked another one: "How about this one? He has a gentle and refined scholarly air about him, so he should have a very gentle personality."
Xie Wang: "He broke up with his boyfriend of five years, and he will definitely miss him. I'm worried that you will be wronged."
Ling Shuangjiang suddenly laughed out loud and teased, "Why do I feel like you're even harder to please than me?"
Xie Wang put his phone away: "Because I was the matchmaker, I have to take responsibility for you."
Ling Shuangjiang: "Alright, since you don't have anyone suitable here, I'll ask someone else."
Xie Wang suddenly straightened up: "No need to look for anyone else, I'll continue the search for you. I don't trust anyone else who introduces me."
"Then... thank you, brother." Ling Shuangjiang smiled.
—
Today, the production team prepared hot pot ingredients for everyone, and as lunchtime approached, everyone started getting busy.
Today the air humidity is low, and compared to the weather at the seaside, it's quite mild and refreshing.
Ling Shuangjiang was in charge of washing the vegetables, while Xie Wang was in charge of going out to sea to catch seafood.
Before heading out to sea, Xie Wang glanced at Lu Shaoheng, who was washing dishes, and stood in front of Ling Shuangjiang, saying, "What do you want to eat? I'll go get it for you."
Ling Shuangjiang: "I'm fine with anything I eat, just be careful."
Xie Wang nodded, turned to leave, but suddenly stopped: "Shuangjiang, let me get you some sea snails."
Ling Shuangjiang nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Xie Wang prefers dark-colored clothes; dark blue, gray, and black are frequently seen in his outfits.
Wearing a deep V-neck black short-sleeved shirt that clung to his body, Xie Wang whispered, "Wait for me to come back, Frostfall."
Ling Shuangjiang raised her eyes: "Okay."
[It feels like a husband giving his wife countless instructions before she leaves on a long journey.]
[Xie Wang was a little reluctant to part with it.]
My wife is so obedient and gentle; if I were her husband, I wouldn't want to give her up.
After Xie Wang left, Lu Shaoheng came to Ling Shuangjiang's side, sat down and helped him wash the vegetables. "Does Shuangjiang prefer spicy or tomato broth for hot pot?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "Spicy hot pot."
Lu Shaoheng smiled at him and asked, "How spicy can you eat?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "I can only handle extra spicy at most."
Lu Shaoheng said gently, "Really impressive."
Basically, whatever Ling Shuangjiang was busy with, Lu Shaoheng would help him with. Lu Shaoheng wasn't the talkative type; he would chat with Ling Shuangjiang for a few minutes occasionally, then focus on his work.
Therefore, Ling Shuangjiang did not dislike Lu Shaoyan.
Cheng Jia basically slacked off the whole time, staying here for three minutes, there for five minutes, and spending the rest of the time talking nonsense and trying to create a persona.
I'm liking Lu Yingdi more and more.
[Yes, they're big shots, but they never act arrogantly.]
[He's quite hardworking.]
[Sigh, if I hadn't shipped the brotherly pairing first, I would definitely have shipped Shuangjiang and Lu Ge.]
The order in which people appear in public can sometimes be quite important.
Wen Nuan and Chen Ying are in charge of making fresh juice. This place produces a wide variety of tropical fruits.
Chen Ying suggested, "Let's make two kinds: grapefruit juice and pineapple lemon juice."
Wen Nuan nodded, then turned and asked Qi Yu what she wanted to drink. Qi Yu replied, "Anything is fine."
Just then, Ling Shuangjiang walked by and said to him gently, "Little Shuangjiang, what kind of drink do you like?"
