Aegean Sea.

This was an operation they undertook a year after their formal acquaintance, which served as a test for the next candidate to succeed ZHU雀 (Note: This character seems out of context and may refer to a specific role or position; it's not clear without further context). Fang Luo, Fan Yuanyuan, Zhang Muxing, and Wen Jing were each sent by their teachers to four different locations to participate in an intelligence interception activity.

The entire process was under surveillance, with the chosen locations being Greece, the Philippines, R country (Note: This likely refers to a fictional or specific country; context is needed for accuracy), and the United States. Ye Tianyu had personal preferences and chose Greece because Wen Jing once mentioned her love for the Aegean Sea and Greece. Originally, he should have chosen the Philippines due to its greater difficulty, which would provide a more comprehensive evaluation of Wen Jing’s capabilities. However, rarely did Ye Tianyu mix work with personal matters; when it came to Wen Jing, all his principles fell apart.

Wen Jing completed this mission with an 85 score, not the best among the four but also not the worst. In Ye Tianyu's eyes, she was still the best because, having trained for only a year, such results were already miraculous. To reward her, Ye Tianyu decided without regard to his usual strict separation of work and personal life to take Wen Jing out on the sea, to cruise around her favorite Aegean Sea.

Wen Jing asked, "Isn't it necessary for us to leave immediately after completing the mission"

Ye Tianyu said, "Who made that rule"

"You did," she replied.

Ye Tianyu spoke earnestly, "Jing, I make the rules. Whatever I say goes."

Wen Jing decided not to discuss regulations with someone whose mood was unpredictable.

To be able to go to the Aegean Sea made her very happy; she had dreamt of its blue sea and sky. There were only the two of them on the cruise ship, Ye Tianyu piloting while Wen Jing snapped photos and sang...

"Jing, your singing is terrible."

"Who said so I always won in singing competitions at school."

"Really" He pretended to be surprised and couldn't help but sigh, "The aesthetic sense of people back home really has a problem. It's not good, it's not good."

Wen Jing smiled and leaned over, "If I'm going to sing off-key, why don't you sing one for me"

Ye Tianyu gazed deeply at her; so deeply that Wen Jing almost thought she was going to faint from his gentle gaze. He said, "Only my wife can listen to me singing. If you marry me, I'll sing for you."

Wen Jing was teased but remained calm and retorted sarcastically, "Poor the person who becomes your wife in the future."

Ye Tianyu stopped the yacht in the middle of the sea, and they sat down to have lunch. Ye Tianyu prepared a romantic French meal. There were restaurants on board, but Wen Jing felt that the atmosphere wasn't right, so Ye Tianyu let her arrange everything as she wished, even bringing the dining table up onto the deck.

He took out two roses from a bouquet and placed them in a vase at the center of the table.

The blue sky, white clouds, azure sea, the large white yacht, the refined young man, the delicate girl, and the bright red roses formed an eternal beautiful scene.

"There was a whole bunch. Why did you just take out two" Wen Jing asked.

"This cruise ship once hosted a XXX's proposal ceremony with 108 roses. Are you hoping that I'll propose to you too" Ye Tianyu countered.

Wen Jing closed her mouth.

A smile tugged at the corner of Ye Tianyu’s lips; people really are different. His Wen Jing is just so innocent. If he asked any other girl, she wouldn't have reacted like this at all. He must be having some kind of problem with his judgment.

"What's the meaning behind those two roses then" Wen Jing asked again.

Ye Tianyu swirled the red wine in his glass; that splash of crimson seemed to bloom within his pupils, so intoxicatingly gentle, "I don't know."

"Aren't you a walking encyclopedia"

"Even encyclopedias have their gaps."

...

After lunch.

Wen Jing continued to take photos, biting into an apple as she praised the beauty of the Aegean Sea. Ye Tianyu would always somehow end up in her frame, and although Wen Jing refused to admit it, she was indeed capturing him on purpose.

She had taken several consecutive pictures of someone, all showcasing a graceful and jade-like beauty that left one captivated; Wen Jing was momentarily carried away with the moment.

Ye Tianyu teased her, asking, "When did you start being obsessed with me Why are you only taking my picture"

Wen Jing blushed and retorted, "It's because you ran into my scenery."

Ye Tianyu hummed in acknowledgment, stretching out the sound as he looked at her with a half-smile. Wen Jing was not as thick-skinned as him; she turned around to take pictures of the scenery again. She felt that the view without him seemed less beautiful.

Dolphins arrived.

Wen Jing shouted for Ye Tianyu to come see the dolphins, her excitement turning her face rosy. A large group of dolphins leaped gracefully before them, as if they were performing the most nimble dance one after another.

Wen Jing's shutter clicked nonstop; Ye Tianyu gently wrapped his arms around her from behind. Her body stiffened, though she was used to him getting too close for comfort, but every time he did so, she couldn't help feeling nervous.

Ye Tianyu covered both of Wen Jing’s hands with his own and showed her how to turn on the video recording function; Ye Tianyu's body always carried a faint woodsy scent that would swirl around her nose. Her face turned as red as table roses, and even her ears flushed pink, like an adolescent girl blushing shyly at her crush.

"Record it, so you can watch it whenever you want in the future."

Wen Jing nodded and said softly, "I understand."

The implication was that Big Brother could now let loose.

Ye Tianyu seemed oblivious as he continued to stay intimately close to Wen Jing. The cruise ship swayed with the waves, causing their bodies to rub against each other continuously, hinting at a subtle sexual undertone. She could clearly feel his body changing. As soon as this dangerous signal registered in her mind, Wen Jing wanted to leave, but Ye Tianyu held her tightly and said darkly, "Don't move!"

He suddenly whistled, and instantly over a hundred dolphins leaped out of the sea, gracefully flipping in mid-air before diving back into the water. Unable to resist, Wen Jing screamed with excitement; she was so engrossed that she didn’t notice the boy’s hand had left hers and now circled her waist, holding her as they watched this momentary legend unfold.

"You can summon dolphins"

"I'm a walking encyclopedia. A piece of cake."

"I want to see more." Wen Jing's voice couldn't help but add a touch of petulance, making Ye Tianyu’s heart melt.

Of course, if she wanted to watch the dolphins jump as much as she desired, she could.

Ye Tianyu turned his head and looked at Wen Jing's blushing face. Her young skin radiated vitality, most captivating, and her long hair was tousled by the sea breeze, gently brushing against his nose. Ye Tianyu couldn't help but draw closer to her, inhaling her scent.

Aijing [1], you look so beautiful when you smile.

I will make sure that you are this happy forever.
