Shi Wangyue gently patted Ning Youguang’s fluffy head, "Then don’t move, I’ll pack the luggage."
The downside of childhood friends turning into lovers is that—they know each other too well.
Mr. Ning’s little thoughts were exposed, and he felt a bit embarrassed.
She buried her head shyly in her boyfriend’s waist, muttering, "Bend your head down."
Shi Wangyue obediently bent down.
Taking the opportunity, she raised her head and kissed his lips, "Do a good job."
When she opened her eyes, they sparkled brightly.
Mr. Ning, using her coquetry skills to avoid work—
Made her boyfriend’s heart flutter.
[Cute, want to kiss.]
"Not enough."
Shi Wangyue cupped her face with his hands and deepened the kiss.
...
They got up quite early this morning to catch the schedule.
Ning Youguang wasn’t lying; she was indeed tired.
By the time Shi Wangyue finished packing their suitcases, she had unknowingly dozed off on the sofa with her eyes half-closed.
She looked obedient and peaceful.
Shi Wangyue squatted beside her watching silently for a long time, his mouth curved up, his eyes unblinking.
Even when his legs and feet went numb, he was reluctant to wake her.
So he gently picked her up and carried her to the big bed in the master bedroom, covering her with the quilt.
He then obediently went to the guest room himself.
That night.
They slept under soft down duvets, as if wrapped in sunlit clouds, with the sound of ocean waves from outside the window, falling into a deep, restful sleep.
...
Perhaps because of the good sleep, Ning Youguang woke up at dawn.
Upon waking, she habitually reached for the nightstand, took out her phone to check the time—it was not yet five o’clock.
After a while, she suddenly realized that she had originally fallen asleep on the sofa last night.
She sat up abruptly, discovering she was still wearing the dress she had worn out last night, hadn’t changed her clothes, yet found herself in bed...
She could only have been carried to bed by a certain someone.
After all, this child was one she had personally brought up—
Pretty well-behaved!
Gazing at the dawn illuminating the sky outside the window, Ning Youguang felt particularly good.
...
When Ning Youguang came out of the bathroom, Shi Wangyue was already sitting on the living room sofa.
"Morning." The young man’s robe collar was slightly open, with a gentle light in his eyes.
"Morning." Ning Youguang lowered her eyes slightly, standing there awkwardly.
A thin layer of red covered her fair face.
When she went into the bathroom, thinking Shi Wangyue was still asleep, she hadn’t brought pajamas and was now only wrapped in a towel.
"Do you still need the bathroom? If not, I’ll go brush my teeth." The man’s voice, deep and slightly raspy from just waking up, tickled her ears with a numbing sensation.
"No need, you can go brush your teeth." Ning Youguang shook her head and quickly ran into the room.
In her retreating shadow, every part was a hasty escape.
Shi Wangyue laughed so hard he couldn’t stop, but he held back from laughing out loud.
It was so hard!
It took him ages to squeeze out toothpaste in the bathroom, his heart filled with unstoppable warmth.
When he came back to the living room after washing up, Ning Youguang had also changed her clothes and composed her emotions.
"I heard the sunrise and sunset on this island are very beautiful." Ning Youguang sipped a cup of warm water.
"So?" Shi Wangyue raised an eyebrow teasingly.
"Would you like to watch the sunrise with me?"
He would be willing to die for her, let alone watch a sunrise.
...
They walked to the end of the island before sunrise, waiting for the view over the sea horizon.
Dawn bloomed like flowers, a flock of migratory birds flew over the sea like messengers of the sun.
Sitting on the rocks by the sea, Ning Youguang nestled in Shi Wangyue’s arms, listening to the motor hum of fishing boats and watching the splendid view, feeling that all of this should be remembered for a lifetime.
Shi Wangyue was deeply moved too, gradually understanding why the person in his arms disliked bars and nightclubs, favored picnics, zoos, aquariums, and enjoyed watching rivers, streams, and sunlit mountains.
—She wants real love and real life.
His heart surged, and he lowered his head to kiss her.
"Click!"—
Suddenly, they heard the sound of a camera shutter.
Turning around, they saw a young white man with a camera, clearly the source of the sound.
"Sorry, you two are just too beautiful! I couldn’t help it..."
As they turned, the young man finally saw their faces, far more beautiful than their backs.
Stunned for a moment, he apologized to them awkwardly.
"Can I have a copy of the photo?" Ning Youguang smiled softly, her voice pleasing to the ear.
