I Helped My Best Friend with Her Romance—and Fell for the Enemy’s Strategist - Chapter 52

The bonfire party is held twice a year, once in June and once in October.

It takes place in a professional venue, organized by professionals.

There are even handsome firefighters standing by.

It’s safe to say the preparations are thorough.

Initially, the idea was that bonfire parties seemed lively and could quickly bridge the gap between strangers.

Since it seemed like a good idea, the bonfire party was introduced to the island’s tourism scene.

Gradually, it evolved into a unique tourist attraction.

This is the mindset of a businessperson’s child, always seeing opportunities everywhere.

Of course, this only applies to those with a business-oriented way of thinking.

Take Lin Shuyi, for example. Her heart and mind are entirely occupied by her seafood feast, a true foodie through and through.

Her goal is to sample all the delicacies across the country, yet she’s never even been to another city in her life.

With so much food at home still left to enjoy, there’s no need to even think about what’s outside.

Of course, when a family has two children, it’s enough for one to inherit the family business.

At least that ensures the legacy continues.

There are several barbecue spots on the island, and to prevent Lin Shuyi from bothering her later,

Lin Ruocheng bought her a large pack of skewers and handed her a trash bag.

After all, the first lesson of traveling is to always carry your trash with you.

This was something their mothers taught them.

If you can’t change others, change yourself.

Lead by example.

“Alright, now listen: after you finish eating, put the wooden skewers in here. Once you’re done, tie the bag and throw it away, understand? I’ll give you some wet wipes and chewing gum. After eating, chew the gum and use the wipes to clean your mouth…”

Lin Shuyi nodded.

Even though she’s destined to become a criminal police officer in the future, in front of her older sister, she’ll always be the little kid who never grew up.

Being pampered is only natural, after all, she didn’t eat all that “dog food” for nothing.

Even though they’re fraternal twins, the older sister is still the older sister, with an innate dominance that comes from blood ties. How could she even think of rebelling?

Count down from three, and she’d confess everything immediately.

No interrogation needed.

Honestly, having an older sister who dotes on you is pretty awesome.

It’s something others wish they had but don’t.

The five of them arrived near the central square, where the barriers for the bonfire party were already set up.

Nearby stood two handsome, six-foot-tall guys.

Shirtless, showing off their toned muscles, wearing swim trunks, and holding fire extinguishers.

Not only were their figures impressive, but their looks were outstanding too.

“So, this is why the tourism here is so developed, the staff are all hired like models? I never thought the prestigious Fu family’s tourism business would go down the looks route too? I remember it wasn’t like that before. So tell me, am I better-looking, or are they?”

“You are. You’re the best-looking.”

Fu Yanxi didn’t even hesitate before answering.

There was no helping it, people these days place too much importance on looks.

So, she ended up hiring some ethnic minorities to work as staff.

But there are plenty of beautiful women and handsome men from Xinjiang and Yunnan.

After casually hiring a few, the business gradually shifted toward prioritizing appearance.

Surprisingly, the response has been quite positive.

“Good, you know it.”

Lin Shuyi stood to the side, somewhat disdainful of her sister-in-law. Wasn’t his answer a bit too quick?

Not even a moment’s hesitation, it’s true what they say, love makes you stupid!

So, to keep her sharp intellect intact, it’s better for her to stay single.

Being single is pretty great.

You can admire beautiful women without any reservations.

Song Wanqing bought some snacks and handed them to Yu Qiuli, who in turn bought some fruit tea.

The two walked and ate at the same time.

Song Wanqing opened a trash bag and disposed of the waste they had created.

Then she threw it into the trash bin.

Remembering Lin Ruocheng’s reminder, she quickly took out the small packs of tissues and wet wipes.

After cleaning her hands, Yu Qiuli patted her back as a form of praise.

“You did… pretty well.”

Song Wanqing was instantly overjoyed.

Of course, the unreserved praise was something Fu Yanxi had taught her. It seemed they still had a lot to learn in the class of love.

The stage for the bonfire party was set up.

Two Xinjiang beauties stepped out.

“Welcome, everyone, to tonight’s island bonfire party! Let’s happily spend the National Day holiday together, leaving all our worries behind! May everyone strike it rich! Tonight, we not only have the bonfire party but also a fireworks display. Isn’t that something to look forward to?”

“We’re so excited!!!”

Many people shouted enthusiastically.

The National Day holiday was a rare short break.

The most important thing was to have fun and cast aside all worries.

Being on an island, there was no need to worry about starting a fire.

“Come on, everyone, let’s count down together! Three! Two! One! Light it up!”

The other hostess threw a lit match into the pile.

Instantly, the wood doused with gasoline was engulfed in flames.

The square was filled with energetic dance music.

Everyone was swept up by the rhythm.

Dancing, jumping, and sweating it out.

After about ten minutes, the fireworks began.

Fireworks burst and scattered across the sky, filling it entirely.

It was incredibly beautiful, especially at a moment like this, which felt so rare and precious.

Lin Ruocheng poked Fu Yanxi in the waist.

Fu Yanxi tilted her head slightly to look at her.

Lin Ruocheng wrapped an arm around the other’s neck, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed her.

Under the magnificent fireworks, she was kissing the one who belonged to her.

Fu Yanxi was taken aback but didn’t refuse.

She followed her rhythm, ready to drown in Lin Ruocheng’s ocean.

The two “robots” were also swept up by the atmosphere.

“Um… do you want to kiss?”

They spoke in unison.

Then they lowered their heads, blushing. Lin Shuyi couldn’t hold back.

She was all about being direct.

“If you want to kiss, just kiss. Look at my sister and her girlfriend kissing like nobody’s watching. You two should kiss too. The fireworks display won’t last long, and there aren’t many chances to capture the moment. Love is about creating your own memories, so don’t waste time, hurry up and kiss.”

Lin Shuyi picked up her camera and took a few photos of her sister and her girlfriend.

With the grand fireworks as the backdrop, and the two embracing and kissing as the main focus of the photo, it was full of artistic conception.

“Well… you do it…”

“No… I’ll do it…”

The two “robots” were still hesitating, and Lin Shuyi couldn’t stand it anymore.

She started giving step-by-step instructions.

“See how they’re kissing? Just do it like that. It’ll turn out great in photos. She’s your girlfriend, not someone else’s. What’s there to be shy about? One of you just needs to take the lead.”

Song Wanqing gritted her teeth.

She leaned in.

Cupping Yu Qiuli’s face, she tilted her head slightly and pressed her lips against hers.

Maybe it was due to lack of experience, or perhaps she used too much force, but she ended up bumping into the other’s gums.

Yu Qiuli’s gums started bleeding a little.

Song Wanqing, on the verge of tears, hurriedly apologized.

I handed her a tissue.

“You know, I think you two are better off sticking to pure romance. My sister isn’t really your type.”
