CHAPTER 514: CHAPTER 376: CAMPING NIGHT SONG

"The experience of camping outdoors is quite unique, completely different from staying in a hotel. I suggest you try it; it will surely be a wonderful experience."

Johnson warmly invited, "Also, we have extra spare tents that you can use, which are very convenient.

We also have some disposable supplies, so it doesn’t matter if you didn’t bring any."

Sophie felt a bit hesitant upon hearing this proposal and frequently glanced over at Li Jing next to her.

Li Jing, on the other hand, found it somewhat novel. This kind of experience of staying at a stranger’s campsite during a trip is rare.

After discussing briefly with Sophie, the two finally agreed to try this special accommodation style.

The twilight seemed to be gently blown in by the sea breeze, slowly spreading and tenderly embracing the entire beach.

The waves tirelessly surged onto the shore again and again, then quietly receded, leaving behind a faint, fragmented sound as if whispering tales of the sea.

At the edge of the beach, Li Jing and the others sat together in a circle.

On a small portable stove, a pot of noodles was bubbling away, sending up wisps of steam.

Johnson leaned down and skillfully took out sausages, chips, and various sauces from the backpack, his actions smooth and effortless.

Maria was all smiles as she handed the prepared drinks to Li Jing and Sophie, her smile warm and welcoming.

"Our food is quite simple; I hope you don’t mind.

But having had fine cuisine often, tasting these once in a while offers a different kind of flavor," Maria said in fluent English.

She was indeed a striking white female, with skin as fair as snow, clear blue eyes as deep as the ocean, and vibrant blonde hair casually draped over her shoulders.

Her larger frame added to her sense of warmth and openness, and the small gray freckles dotted across her face did nothing to detract from her beauty; instead, they added a dash of spirited charm and cuteness.

Johnson nodded repeatedly, both cooking noodles proficiently and speaking with a smile:

"We love this kind of unrestrained travel, feeling the sea breeze, staying in these quieter, peaceful places, where people and nature merge. This is what travel should be."

Johnson had slightly darker brown hair, and beneath his strong nose, his mouth often curved into a friendly smile.

The tall, muscular build clearly showed signs of long-term exercising.

Yet when he inadvertently saw Li Jing’s toned arms, his eyes were filled with admiration. He couldn’t help but repeatedly praise and curiously inquire about Li Jing’s exercise tips.

Li Jing and Sophie were not naturally shy or bashful people, facing the unreserved warmth and sincerity of Johnson and Maria.

In just a few exchanges, they quickly became familiar, like friends who had known each other for ages.

The sea breeze gently brushed against their faces, carrying the unique salty taste of the ocean.

The wind stirred the leaves of the plants along the shore, producing a light rustling sound that intertwined with the sound of the waves.

In the distance, where the sea met the sky, was dyed orange-red by the afterglow of the sunset, and the shimmering surface of the sea was also coated with a golden sheen, beautiful like a dream.

Looking at the beautiful scenery before her, Sophie turned to look at Li Jing, then at the newly made friends, feeling an indescribable sense of fulfillment and happiness.

Li Jing, though remaining calm, also felt a certain relaxation and satisfaction.

Then, Sophie proactively joined in preparing ingredients, her hands skillfully picking and washing vegetables, occasionally sharing some interesting stories from her travels with Maria, filling the air with laughter.

Li Jing fully utilized his physical strength, helping to set up and adjust tents, move tables and chairs, working enthusiastically.

The moonlight was like water, gently spilling over the beach, stretching their busy silhouettes.

The sea breeze continued to blow slowly, bringing the ocean’s unique freshness, stirring everyone’s hair.

On the table lay steaming noodles and fresh bread, and occasionally someone would pick up a bite, the satisfaction clear on their faces.

At this moment, they all sat on simple stools, fully immersed in the breathtaking natural scenery around them.

Li Jing felt deeply moved; this kind of travel experience was what he once longed for, without the overly commercialized noise and restlessness, only the purest nature and sincere emotional exchanges between people.

Thinking this, Li Jing accepted the egg salad dressing handed by Johnson, inadvertently noticing the guitar placed nearby.

Curiously, he asked, "Do you play guitar too?"

Johnson followed Li Jing’s gaze and looked back at his beloved guitar, a proud smile appearing on his face as he said:

"Yes, whenever we’re happy, we sing together. I play guitar, Maria plays drums, and Peter and his wife love singing as well."

Speaking here, he paused slightly, adding:

"Peter is the one who was just taken to the hospital. We received a call earlier, thanks to your professional and timely assistance.

He’s doing fine now, resting peacefully at the hospital, and specifically asked us to take good care of you."

No wonder Johnson and Maria were so enthusiastic from the start, Li Jing suddenly understood.

While chatting and laughing, Johnson and Maria exchanged glances and stood up in sync.

Johnson reached for the guitar, turned to face Li Jing and Sophie, with enthusiasm in his eyes, and asked:
