When Alice heard this, she did not think much of it. “Why? The chefs on the island are far better at roasting these than I. I only learnt it secretly.”

“The beach is so nice.” The actor let out a heartfelt sigh.

When Alice heard this, she was a little surprised. “Why do you suddenly say something like that?”

“Because the beach is beautiful. Don’t you think? During the day, you can swim in the sea, dive, and at night, you can just sit quietly on the beach to enjoy the sea breeze and seafood. This is the most pleasing thing in life.”

“Superficial.” Alice gave a pertinent evaluation.

“Why do you say that?”

“Living by the sea actually has many advantages. For example, the sea view is beautiful, and there’s very little noise by the sea. You can swim every day. The seawater has a lot of minerals that can improve your skin and improve your physical fitness. The air is also very fresh, but the sea breeze always has a fishy smell. In addition, there are many humidity problems by the sea. For example, clothes and furniture are always easily damp, and the doors, windows, and railings corrode easily. Moreover, it’s very easy to get rheumatism. If you encounter a typhoon or a tsunami and live by the sea, it’s simply a disaster.”

The actor was slightly taken aback. He really did not think about these things.

“Therefore, there are many aspects to everything. Life is never perfect. It’s always accompanied by all kinds of regrets.”

“Yeah.”

“However, life is about happiness and regrets. Won’t you find it boring to be perfect?”

Alice raised her glass and gently swirled the wine in it, smiling deeply. “Life is about experiencing all kinds of emotions. This is the greatest meaning of life. However, this is what I think of myself. Everyone’s values are different. Perhaps others won’t agree.”

“I think I agree with you.” The actor pursed his lips and smiled. “There’s absolutely no such thing as perfection in life. There’s no doubt about that. If one’s life is too smooth-sailing, that would be unbelievable!”

“Seize every regret and cherish every happiness.”

“Well said.” The actor raised his glass. “Here’s to your chicken soup for the soul!”

“Bottoms up.” Alice drained her glass.

Youyou suddenly muttered, “What are you guys talking about? The scallops are almost overdone!”

Alice looked at her grill. As expected, the scalloped meat trembled and made a slightly charred sound.

“Haha, this is also one of life’s regrets.”

The actor picked up the scallop and put it aside. “A burnt scallop. The imperfections of life.”

Alice smiled knowingly.

Not far away, Gong Jie lay on a recliner and watched the harmonious scene. For some reason, he felt a little annoyed when he saw Hua Jin and Alice chatting and laughing.

The two of them seemed to be getting along well! Could it be that Hua Jin was interested in Alice? At the thought of this possibility, he felt an unfamiliar sense of being under threat. Even he did not understand why he had such a strange emotion.

At night.

After the party was over, Hua Jin walked towards his room.

He ran into Gong Jie along the corridor.

The man was leaning against the door of the room, arms crossed, as if waiting for someone.

Hua Jin could not help feeling puzzled. “Aren’t you going back to your room to rest at this hour?” As he got closer, he could smell the faint scent of red wine on Gong Jie.
