After Getting Laid Off by a Big Tech Company, I Found a Girl on a Remote Island

[Multiple Heroines] [Island Management] [Lighthearted and Hilarious] [Healing Everyday Life] [Low Fantasy]

At 29, Gu Yan was laid off by a major corporation, with his bank balance frozen at 3,786.42 yuan.

He returned to his hometown in the south, ready to lie flat and take a break.

Then he opened the attic door.

A white-haired girl was hanging from the burglar bars, baring her teeth at him.

When he asked her how old she was, she thought for a moment. "Older than yesterday."

The local police officer stared at the household registration form for ten minutes, then sighed and issued identification for the girl he'd run into by chance.

But the worst of it was yet to come.

The landlady, who called him a good-for-nothing to his face, secretly transferred him money when he was at his lowest;

The sharp-tongued doctor was more worried than he was when he threw out his back;

The photographer took pictures all over the island, but whenever she tried to photograph him, she'd press the shutter, delete the shot, then take it again;

And the white-haired girl who stepped on his shadow announced at the town's registration office, in front of everyone:

"The Bai in Bai Xiaoyu means growing old together with Gu Yan!"

Lu Zhixia clenched her fists. "Bai Xiaoyu, get off my man's... bed right now!"

Three people hid their feelings, while one made no secret of hers.

Caught in the middle, Gu Yan had to pick his moment even to sigh.

Until one late night, he found a yellowed old photograph tucked inside the account book.

The white-haired girl standing at the old house's entrance looked exactly like Xiaoyu when she smiled.

The date was twelve years ago.

That was the year his father went out to sea and never came back, and Lu Zhixia's parents disappeared in those same waters.

And Bai Xiaoyu seemed to have appeared that very same year.

This island's secrets seemed to outnumber the yuan in his bank account.
