The next day, on their stroll to the public beach, Xu Mey's excitement was still at the same level as it was before. She just couldn't get enough of this place. Since it was the weekend, plenty of families and friends groups were at the beach.
Suddenly while walking by the seaside, Xu Mey stopped in her steps making Ye Jie come to a halt as well. He turned to look and saw Xu Mey's eyes stuck on something.
Particularly, her eyes were just gazing in a distance at the waves. But all of a sudden, her eyes teared up for some reason. Ye Jie's mind went into a state of panic as he saw her big tears falling down without control, for no apparent reason.
"Baby, why are you crying? What happened?" He rubbed her arms up and down trying to soothe her but her tears fell with even more fervor. "At least, let me know what happened?"
"I don't even know myself." Xu Mey suddenly spoke up, making Ye Jie dumbfounded.
"Huh?"
"I was just thinking how beautiful this place is and how amazing it is to be here with you." She wiped the tears off of her face and added, "I don't know why these tears started flowing out."
Ye Jie pursed his lips since he was speechless at the moment. He thought she was hurt or something but in the end, she cried over nothing. Then he heard her muttering to herself, "Why did I tear up? It doesn't make sense."
He smiled at her and pulled her in his arms. Stroking her hair gently, he said, "My best friend once told me that tears are like prayers to heaven. These prayers are silent but they come straight from the heart... With our purest and sincerest feelings." Xu Mey silently listened to him as he continued, "Your heart must be making a prayer to heaven but your mind couldn't understand it."
"Huh? Why did my mind didn't understand?" Xu Mey asked pulling herself away a bit to look at his face.
"Because a mind can never comprehend what a heart desires. And sometimes, a heart doesn't need logic like our brain. Got it?" He touched her head affectionately and Xu Mey nodded her head in understanding. "But I know what your heart wished for with those tears."
"Really? What did it ask for?" Xu Mey inquired gazing into his eyes.
Ye Jie tucked her hair behind her ear and touched her cheek saying, "Your heart wished for this moment to never end."
"Sweet-mouth!" Although Xu Mey grumbled this, even she was certain that her heart definitely must have wished for that. She obviously didn't want this kind of moments to end. Time with him was the best and the most memorable one for her. How can one wish for it to end? "I'm suddenly feeling hungry." She changed the topic since her face was getting hot with his gaze all over again.
"What does my baby want?" Ye Jie asked as if he was ready to serve her any moment.
"Ah-Jie, I want to eat that," Xu Mey pointed towards a bowl of whatever those youngsters were eating and how was it possible for Ye Jie to say no to her.
"Wait here. I'll bring it right away." Saying that he walked away from her to bring that Acai bowl for his wife.
While he was gone, Xu Mey's phone vibration caught her attention. She pulled out her phone from her pocket and looked at the id before receiving the call, "Hey, Jun!"
"Sis, where are you?" He asked without taking a pause.
"I'm with your brother at the beach. Why?" Xu Mey answered with a radiant smile.
"The way you just served this dog food is quite direct. Don't you think so?" Ye Jun said from the other end, grudgingly.
"Ay! Don't be mean... I was just giving out candies... Sweet ones... How would I dare to serve dog food to my sweet brother-in-law?" Xu Mey was trying hard to stifle her laughter but Ye Jun could still feel her infectiously happy mood. "Oh, by the way, how's Jun Li Na? I didn't get the time to check up on her."
Ye Jun sighed making Xu Mey frown. "I don't know. I haven't seen her after you sorted the revenge game."
"What?" Xu Mey was surprised to hear that. "Where did she go?"
"She said she needs some time alone to gather her thoughts and all. After that, I didn't get in touch with her." He answered plainly with a heavy heart.
Xu Mey thought for a moment before saying, "I'll look for her after coming back." He hummed in reply and Xu Mey added, "Why did you call?"
"Nothing... I just thought I could spend some time with you since I'm getting bored all alone. But..." After another sigh, he added, "I should have known that how would you have any time for me when my brother is available solely for you."
Xu Mey chuckled at his brooding and said, "Stop overacting. Go out to find your friends."
"Which friend? Huh? All of them are either with their girlfriends or wives. The only bachelor friend I have is Shuang and because of you even he left the country."
"Hey! How is my fault? I didn't ask Fu Shuang to leave the country. I even forgave him for everything." Xu Mey tried to defend herself.
Ye Jun had a sad smile on his face as he said, "Even though I don't find you wrong but the fact that he left the country for you can't be denied as well. Anyways... I'll see you when you get back. Bye!" Without waiting for her reply, Ye Jun hung up the call leaving Xu Mey to feel guilty for no reason.
