He Renyue looked up, gazing towards the Jasmine Hotel and the starlit coastal road surrounding the beach.
"This road doesn't usually stand out, but now with the lights on, doesn't it look just like the starlit beach road where the male lead confessed to the ojou-sama?"
The more He Renyue looked, the more confused he became. "That hammock under the tree... isn't that where the male lead stole a kiss from the junior?"
"This beachside restaurant looks exactly like the place where they had their first meal when they arrived on the island."
"The exterior of this hotel is the same as the one where the male lead and his group stayed!"
"The pool, the pier, and even the archways look identical to those in the manga."
One familiar scene after another overlapped with the images in his memory. Could it be that the author took inspiration from here??
He Renyue took a deep breath, getting excited!
To see the settings of a manga he was following in real life, the sense of immersion was just insane!!
He imagined the tsundere ojou-sama dancing happily in a small dress along the starlit coastal road in front of him,
the pure junior lying on the hammock, holding leaves above her eyes to shield from the sunlight, only to be kissed by the male lead, making her face blush red.
The cool senior finally letting down her guard on the beach amidst the fireworks, bravely holding the male lead's hand, and drawing two small hearts together on the ground.
He Renyue was going mad…
At this moment, the 2D characters had all come to life!
Except for the scummy male lead who deserved to die, every inch of sand, every wave had touched the hair and soaked the feet of the three female leads!
The thought was unbelievable…
"Could it be that even this booth was once sat in by the ojou-sama?!!"
He Renyue was thrilled.
As a die-hard fan of the ojou-sama, he loved her character so much.
"If it were the ojou-sama, she might have taken a sip of the cocktail here, then dismissed it as trash and coolly made her own drink, stunning everyone!"
"If there were a band and sound equipment here,"
"The ojou-sama would definitely sit behind the drum set and play coolly."
The more He Renyue thought about it, the more his breath quickened.
He wished he could rush the author to update faster!
"...What am I even thinking?"
"This sunset bar only opened today. Even if Short Artist had been here, it would have been a long time ago."
"They surely wouldn't know that there's a new sunset bar now."
A strong sense of regret overwhelmed He Renyue, almost suffocating him.
Frustrated, he took a big gulp of his drink,
and immediately turned red, coughing violently from the high alcohol content.
Perhaps He Renyue's violent coughing drew attention, as people around started noticing him,
even the young man drawing on his iPad paused and looked over curiously.
"Sir, sir!"
"Are you alright?!"
A hurried voice came from beside him.
He Renyue waved his hand, trying to say he was fine.
But as he looked up, he was stunned, as if he had seen a ghost, staring in disbelief at the young man before him.
You, you… you!!
Holy crap!
Rich Kid!!!
...
It was 5:56 PM.
This was the golden hour for watching the sunset at the bar,
golden lights flickered like fireflies in the dazzling sunset,
dark blue waves surged with the tide, crashing against the stone walls, with spray carried by the sea breeze back into the ocean.
The tsundere ojou-sama elegantly made a cocktail, sitting back at the booth amidst the envious and admiring gazes of everyone.
At the sunset bar under the evening sun,
the tsundere ojou-sama rested her chin on one hand, her beautiful eyes gazing at the sky, the sunset reflected softly in her pupils like the clouds in the sky.
"Whenever the sunset colors everything,"
"Look how dazzling the golden light is..."
The rich kid looked at the ojou-sama's profile with deep affection and murmured softly…
To be continued.
...
"Perfect!"
Finally finished today's update.
Tang Tangtang was satisfied as he looked at the drawing on the screen, feeling more and more pleased!
This hotel was simply amazing!
Every scene, every frame was unbelievably beautiful.
Such a good place, not letting the characters fall in love here would be a waste!
He had been troubled about finding a good setting to develop the storyline between the rich kid and the tsundere ojou-sama,
and the hotel informed him that the sunset bar was opening today with all drinks free!!
This setting must be included in my manga!!!
After carefully reviewing today's drawings from start to finish,
adding some details to the ojou-sama's high heels and dress hem,
and emphasizing the gentle look in the rich kid's eyes,
he uploaded and sent the update!
"Whew…"
With today's update complete, he could now fully enjoy the sunset and the drinks!
...
On the other side,
He Renyue gulped down a large bottle of mineral water.
His eyes stared incredulously at Chen Jianhai.
This was the rich kid...
That face, that height, that hairstyle!
This was clearly the rich kid from "Even Clumsy Teenagers Want Sweet Love: The Devotion of a Fallen Object"!
At that moment,
the "rich kid" was sitting at a table with the middle-aged man and the young guitarist, chatting and laughing, completely unaware that he had been secretly watched by a man for a long time.
Seeming uncomfortable from the many things in his pockets,
the "rich kid" pulled several phones out of his pockets, stacking them on the table, bragging as he talked.
As if his expression wasn't annoying enough,
the "rich kid" even arrogantly shook his leg,
with a look of "I have a lot of phones, come and fight me if you don't like it".
The middle-aged man, well-mannered, simply took a small sip of his drink.
The guitarist didn't hesitate to roll his eyes at the "rich kid".
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven… eight?!"
He Renyue counted the phones,
utterly shocked.
"Have the characters come to life, or have I gone mad…"
"Did I just see the inspiration for the character?!"
Ding-dong~~
The phone rang,
He Renyue picked it up.
"You have a new update for 'Even Clumsy Teenagers Want Sweet Love: The Devotion of a Fallen Object'."
He Renyue opened the manga in a daze, flipping through the pages,
as he read,
he suddenly stopped flipping,
his lips trembled,
pupils contracted,
muttering as if he had seen a ghost:
"Impossible, impossible… this can't be!"
In the manga,
the tsundere ojou-sama was standing behind the bar on the giant rock by the sea, her slender right hand pouring wine into a glass filled with ice,
amidst the lights,
the rich kid was sitting at a seaside booth,
with eight phones stacked on the table,
gazing at the tsundere ojou-sama with eyes full of admiration and affection.
Oh my god…
The imagination from his mind had materialized on paper,
He Renyue's hand shook, and his phone fell onto the table with a thud.
