Leah looked up in surprise as she locked eyes with the server to make sure he was not amusing

himself at her expense.

How could there possibly be an event where you had to play the violin to get a free meal after being

drawn as a lucky customer?

What if the lucky customer was someone who didn’t know how to play the violin? Wouldn’t they be

losing out?

Leah waved him off with a rejection. “I’m sorry. I don’t know how to play the violin.”

Han had the money after all. What did it matter if the meal was free or not?

Han unexpectedly leaned back with one leg folded over the other as he dismantled her bold-faced lie. “I

distinctly recall that you know how to do so.”

Leah glared at him areplied in a sarcastic manner, “Are you serious, Mr. Howard? Are you so poor that

you can’t even afford a meal and need me to sell my skills for it?”

However, Han actually shrugged in the face of her provocations and spoke as if it were a matter of

course. “Indeed.”

Leah was rendered speechless. “…”

Forget it. It’s not like I don’t know how to play the violin. The food isn’t here yet anyway.

Leah pursed her lips at the thought and took the violin from the waiter’s hands. Just a single glance at

the instrument bewildered her.

This violin…is quite a remarkable piece.

Leah stood in the middle of the stage, which prompted the other diners to pay attention to her.

She was in a black and white suit dress, which made her seem all the more elegant with the violin in

hand.

Leah shut her eyes and set the violin up at the crook of her neck.

She had learned how to play the violin from a young age.

When the violin had been her greatest passion back in high school, she sent texts to Han telling him

about how she had to play it by the sea at least once.

It was an extremely romantic thing to think about.

It was a time when her future held nothing but her violin, the blue sea, and Han.

Leah had been so immersed in her music that when their eyes met, it left her dazed.

It’s like my dream had come true before I even noticed.

The audience erupted in applause as the tune came to a close.

Leah’s violin-playing skills were so good that even those who didn’t understand the intricacies of music

would be fascinated by it.

She sat back down at the table under Han’s watchful gaze.

That was when the food was served. Han joked, “My thanks for Ms. White’s generous offering of

dinner.”

Leah smiled indifferently. “I wish you a pleasant meal.”

The duo enjoyed their meal.

There was a sudden commotion just as they were about to finish.

“Woah, look!”

Leah looked up, astonished.

The sea began to tide, a ghostly blue from the sky scattered down. She could see the gorgeous shapes

the waves took as they crashed the beach from afar.

People on the beach were going insane from joy as they leaped and cheered. Some were even poking

their feet into the waters, not at all afraid that they might be washed away by the rising tide.

It was, as they say, ’till death do us part’.

The ghostly blue gleam reflected on Leah’s face as Han swept a glance at her. He suddenly set down

the cutlery in his hands and wiped his mouth. “I’m done.”

Leah got to her feet. “Let’s head to the beach to have a look.”

“Yeah.” Han nodded.

Leah was quick to leave and failed to notice Han calmly handing the waiter a card behind her.

When they finally exited the restaurant, they crossed the street to the beach.

It was a lively time on the beach. The sea was coming in waves, and the surface of the waters was

sprinkled with a layer of fluorescent light, exuding a faint blue glow.

Leah felt uncomfortable walking on the beach in high heels.

And thus, she removed her heels and carried them in her hands, feeling the softness of the fine sand

against her bare feet.

It’s comfy.

Leah treaded backward, watching Han with every step.

And at that moment, she felt as though the distance between her and Han weren’t so far after all.

Han, meanwhile, was still dressed to the nines.

She made up her mind, bent down and scooped up a handful of sand, and flung it at him.

Han was taken aback.

His pupils were dark, which reflected the luminescence of the blue sea, making him seem like a much

softer person.

Leah smiled sincerely at him for the first time in their lives. “Aren’t you sick of being so tense, Han? You

should take off your shoes when you come to the beach to get a feel of things. Try for yourself if you

don’t believe me.”

Han huffed.

This was his first time seeing Leah so happy.

It was as if there was a seed taking root deep in his heart that wanted nothing more than to protect her

smile.

Leah had only been joking and didn’t expect Han to agree.

But he immediately bent down to remove his shoes and socks.

She was surprised but was quick to recover her wits. “How is it? It’s nice, isn’t it?”

Han nodded seriously. “Yes.”

Leah continued to walk forward in the sand.

That was when they encountered a young girl by the road selling a variety of light-emitting accessories

and toys.

The girl tugged on the hem of Leah’s shirt. “Do you want a glowy headband, Miss? It would look good

on you.”

“Alright.” Leah was in a good mood and bent down to pick out a headband with a luminous halo

attached to it. That was when Han caught her eye.

She grinned from ear to ear as she also picked out one that had devil horns on them. “Han, come

here.”

Han heard her words and walked toward her.

Leah then stood on her tip-toes to set the headband on his head.

Han was shocked and was about to reflexively remove it.

Leah muttered, “The devil headband suits you.”

Han froze in his motions.

If she said so, he should just…wear it.

“You’re just as evil as this headband,” Leah said, all smiles with no specific meaning behind her words.

As long as she smiled, Han didn’t have a care in the world.

“Really?” He asked. “Am I that scary?”

Leah stared at him.

Scary? She suddenly couldn’t remember why she thought that way.

All she knew was the current Han who would accompany her for crispy chili beef despite his dislike for

it. The current Han would grovel at Shawn Ford’s feet but not allow her to lower her head and

apologize and would be by her side as she messed around childishly.

Leah stared him in the face and suddenly felt flustered.

She turned around and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s head back to the hotel!”

Han took notice of her evasive gaze.

Then, he sighed. “Alright.”

They put on their shoes and continued on their way back to the main road when Han spoke to Leah.

“We can’t hail cabs here at this hour. I’ll call up the car rentals and have them drive over.”
