Chapter 53: If It’s You, Being the Bottom Isn’t Impossible…
Qiao Li, who prided herself on being a tomboy for so many years, could do everything most girls could and even managed things that typically required grit like a man. People had long acknowledged her strength, often overlooking her appearance or emotions.
This was the first time a boy had praised her so earnestly, and it sparked a flicker of girlish joy in her heart. She unconsciously tucked her hair behind her ear and said softly:
“Stop learning these lines from Teacher Gu Si. It’s fine to say them to me, but if you say them to unfamiliar women, they’ll think you’re a sleazy playboy.”
Ning Qingyan picked up the branches he had whittled, nodded earnestly, and replied:
“Got it, Sister. I’m not as frivolous as Teacher Gu Si to say such things to women I barely know.”
“Let me help you with the branches. You can take a sip of water first.”
Qiao Li handed him a bottle of water as she spoke. Ning Qingyan held the branches in his left hand and twisted open the water bottle cap effortlessly with his right hand, taking two large gulps before saying:
“It’s not right for a sister to carry stuff while the younger brother drinks water.”
These words made Qiao Li’s inner girlish delight soar to an all-time high. Her heart was practically bursting with fireworks.

After tidying up the makeshift fishing spear made from tree branches, Ning Qingyan parted ways with Qiao Li and walked toward Wen Shijin, who was nearly done cooking dinner.
“Brother, let me help you out.”
Ning Qingyan reached Wen Shijin’s side. Wen Shijin glanced at her, his refined features softening further as he replied gently:
“It’s almost done. Just wait a little longer, and you can eat.”
The sight of the spicy and flavorful clams made Ning Qingyan swallow her saliva and lick her lips.
Seeing her kittenish expression, Wen Shijin chuckled and lightly tapped her head:
“You have a wound on your hand, so don’t eat too much spicy food. Stick to something mild.”
Hearing this, Ning Qingyan pouted with a grievance, trying to argue:
“Without meat, how will my wound heal?”
Her beautiful, almond-shaped eyes brimmed with an aggrieved look, making it hard not to give in.

Wen Shijin’s Favorability +1
Wen Shijin couldn’t help but rub her soft, chestnut-colored hair, his voice gentle:
“Not too much.”
This meant permission! Ning Qingyan’s face lit up with joy as she said cheerfully, “Then I’ll call everyone to eat!”
As Wen Shijin watched her run off, he reminded her:
“Don’t run too fast. The beach sand is wet and sticky; you might slip.”
Ning Qingyan waved without looking back, shouting, “Got it!”
At the beach, Lin Qingqing and Sheng Mingzhu were standing in the water, trying to spear fish with the fishing tool Ning Qingyan had made that morning.
Lin Qingqing had wanted to help Wen Shijin cook but was politely refused again. Frustrated, she decided to catch a fish to impress him. After several failed attempts, she finally speared a larger fish but lost her balance and fell into the water.
Ning Qingyan immediately dived in to save her. Shortly after, others, including Gu Si, Wen Shijin, and rescue staff, joined the effort. Despite the challenges of turbulent waves, Ning Qingyan’s perseverance, and the teamwork of others, Lin Qingqing was saved, though the rescue took an emotional toll on everyone.
Amid the chaos, Ning Qingyan’s heroic efforts stood out, leaving everyone in awe, while subtle bonds between the characters grew stronger.
