The place was a romantic tourist attraction. All around were people of different colors and ethnicities. By the time Ye Youyou reached the hotel, it was already the next morning.
She had signed up for an easy holiday package that covered accommodations and meals. She was assigned a huge sea-facing double room. Upon checking in, she arranged her clothes inside the wardrobe and changed out of what she was wearing before heading to the beach.
The sky and sea were vast. The turquoise-blue sea gurgled. The light rays from the sun reflected off the water's surface, landing on the people walking past, and enveloping them in a warmth.
Ye Youyou was wearing a maxi-skirt and beach slippers with a sunhat and pair of shades. As she watched the tourists milling about, she could feel her mood improving.
