Chapter 152 Confession 17
As soon as Ziyue opened the door to the art studio, she saw an arrow made of fresh flowers on the floor, pointing towards the living room. Ziyue raised an eyebrow, a smile flashing in her eyes.
Because this is a bustling commercial street, the room was soundproofed very well during the renovation. She was so engrossed in painting that she didn't notice the noise outside.
"Little Jiu'er, why didn't you remind me?"
"Host, this is a surprise from Mr. Chu for you. How could he tell you beforehand?"
Little Jiu'er was engrossed in reading it in the space.
He would never admit that he just wanted to see his host make a fool of himself, hehe~
Xiao Jiu'er already knew that Chu Yijing had rebooked his ticket back to Chuncheng, and she watched him go to buy flowers, vegetables, decorate, cook, and dress up all the way...
Moreover, this is to ensure there is no danger. If a dangerous person or someone with ill intentions towards the host were to approach, he would have warned the host long ago.
Ziyue followed the arrow and entered the living room.
The main light in the living room was off, leaving only a soft, warm yellow light, and ambient candles burning on the table and in the corner of the living room.
The living room was decorated with fresh flowers, balloons, and so on.
On the table was a prepared meal, red wine, and candles.
Chu Yijing was dressed in a formal suit and holding a bouquet of red roses.
Seeing Ziyue come out, he quickly went over, handed her the flowers in his hand, and looked at her with bright eyes, "Ziyue, I have something to tell you."
Ziyue looked at the man in front of her who seemed normal, but whose body was actually tense, his hands were clenched, and his voice had a slight tremor.
A smile flickered deep in her eyes as she reached out and took the flowers. "Hmm, go ahead."
Chu Yijing took a deep breath, "That night when we first met on the beach was the most beautiful encounter of my life."
"I love watching the sea with you, I love planting flowers with you, and I want to be your personal chef and pastry chef for life."
"Ziyue, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
At this moment, Chu Yijing felt his whole body stiffen, and he dared not move. His palms seemed to be sweating with nervousness, and he didn't even know what he was saying.
My heart was pounding in my chest, I felt nervous, anxious, scared, and excited...
Looking at Chu Yijing's sincere eyes, Ziyue felt a surge of affection that seemed to overflow from them. After a while, her gaze softened, and she said, "Okay. From now on, you will be my personal chef and pastry chef for life."
Chu Yijing was overjoyed, his lips curving into a silly grin. "You agreed? You agreed to be with me? Ziyue, that's great! From now on, we're boyfriend and girlfriend."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but step forward and carefully take her hand. Chu Yijing's mouth was almost stretched to his ears with a grin. He secretly vowed that he would never let go of her hands for the rest of his life.
"Yes, then, boyfriend? Is dinner ready? I'm hungry."
"Sure, sure, Ziyue, come and see, these are all your favorite dishes." With that, Chu Yijing pulled Ziyue to sit down on a chair at the dining table.
Looking at the table full of her favorite dishes and the arrangement of the living room, Ziyue could see his care and thoughtfulness everywhere, and she couldn't help but feel a little touched.
Other men had done these things for her before, but she still maintained her original intention.
No matter what thoughtful or considerate gestures a man makes towards her, or what kind of confession he makes, she will remember them all and forever retain a tender and moved heart.
She cherishes every bit of love and affection that is kind to her, and she treats and treasures every passionate emotion with care.
How long is life?
Let us live up to the time we have spent, and let each other live up to our own.
Ziyue had Xiao Jiu'er record what had just happened, so that many years later, when she saw those videos or photos and recalled that moment, she believed she would be smiling and happy.
Raising her glass, Ziyue looked at the person sitting opposite her, whose mouth was practically stretched to the sky in the warm yellow light, and said, "To celebrate our first day together, cheers."
Chu Yijing also picked up his wine glass and, with a "bang," said, "Cheers!"
Chu Yijing swallowed the wine in his mouth and looked at the person opposite him, who looked even more beautiful under the warm yellow light, with deep affection. "Thank you, Ziyue. Thank you for accepting me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be with you."
Ziyue put down her wine glass. "Well... then, I should thank you too. Thank you for everything you've done for me. I think our future will definitely be bright."
"I believe you."
Hearing Ziyue's words, which sounded like a confession, Chu Yijing was overjoyed and deeply moved. He felt that he hadn't done enough.
Ziyue is such a wonderful and outstanding girl, what makes him worthy of being her boyfriend? So he can only treat her better and better, so well that she can't live without him.
The two sat facing each other, enjoying the quiet warmth of the moment. The New Year's Eve dinner was extremely sumptuous, and the taste was incredibly delicious.
This scene left a deep mark on Chu Yijing's heart, and even many years later, recalling it filled him with tenderness and emotion.
At the same time, I am incredibly grateful to the version of myself that bravely took that step back then.
Back to the present——
Because Chu Yijing had prepared a huge table full of dishes, and there were only two of them, they obviously couldn't finish them all.
However, it's customary to have some leftovers from the New Year's Eve dinner. This symbolizes abundance year after year and is considered a good omen.
After dinner, the two sat on the balcony, looking down at the lively crowd on the beach in the distance.
Although it was New Year's Eve in winter, the beach was unusually lively.
It was absolutely bustling with people; as far as the eye could see, there was a sea of heads.
Some people spread out picnic mats on the beach and sat around eating and drinking, while others sat in twos and threes chatting happily. Some chased and played on the beach, some happily twirled around with sparklers, and many others lit all sorts of small fireworks...
However, there were too many people, so the two of them decided not to go down and join the fun.
Zi Yue leaned back on the beanbag chair, and Chu Yijing leaned back on the beanbag chair next to her in the same posture. There were a bunch of snacks and drinks around them, and a tablet in front of them was playing a variety show.
When they found something funny, the two of them would discuss it enthusiastically; when they found something unpleasant, they would look up at the lively beach in the distance.
As 11:30 approached, people stopped in their tracks, quieted down, and looked up at the sky, waiting for the long-awaited beauty.
at last,
"Bang—bang bang—bang—crash crackle—bang bang bang—crash—bang..."
A series of fireworks soared into the sky, causing a brief uproar among the crowd. Some jumped up and down, some cheered loudly, some took the opportunity to confess their love, some livestreamed to their family and friends, while others quietly immersed themselves in the magnificent fireworks display before them.
Clusters of fireworks streaked across the sky, illuminating the night. The room was also brightly lit, albeit in colorful light.
Flashes of colorful light reflected on their faces. Ziyue and Chu Yijing smiled at each other, their hands clasped tightly, tacitly appreciating the beautiful scenery outside the window.
Ziyue looked up at the night sky. Fireworks were bursting in the sky, their colorful lights as if dressing the night sky in a gorgeous brocade, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
The people on the beach had quieted down at some point, as if they were all immersed in this splendid and gorgeous dream, forgetting their troubles and being carefree. Their hearts and eyes were only filled with the beauty before them. If they could, many of them probably wouldn't want to wake up.
This visual feast lasted for a very long time. Although the fireworks were only brilliant for a moment, I believe that for those who witnessed this beautiful scene, its eternal beauty will remain in their hearts forever and will never be forgotten.
The fireworks display ended, and there was a moment of quiet on the beach.
Children are still carefree, only knowing how to run and jump. Perhaps only some adults know how reluctant, complicated, or even a little bit lost they feel when they suddenly wake up from that beautiful dream.
A dream is just a dream, and even the most beautiful dream will eventually come to an end.
But when they wake up from their dreams, they are still faced with the mundane realities of life, the constant struggles and anxieties.
