"But in the end, my trip was diverted to a different island. Turned out that a friend of mine told me his other friend wanted only a Westerner to be on his island.
So I just got a free trip to the Bahamas as compensation. Away from what was originally meant to be a work trip on a private island."
As Xiaoyun finished telling his story, Lily was long asleep on the water bed. Her eyes were fully closed as she let out a small, steady breath.
"Lily, you awake?"
Seeing her not respond to his whisper, Xiaoyun let out a small sigh of relief in his head as he slowly got out of the water.
After pulling the bathtub plug to let the water drain, he quickly grabbed a towel to wipe himself and put his old clothes back on.
Next, Xiaoyun tiptoed over to the exit, closing the door behind him and leaving Lily alone in the room.
Standing outside, he decided to check his phone, only to see thousands of messages in the family group chat.
"Why did I put the phone on silent?"
