Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C66

Huvafen Island was a shell-shaped island surrounded by green vegetation. It was also the destination of Ye Qingming and Lin Manshou’s journey. They finally arrived after a half-hour flight on the seaplane in the morning.

Perhaps it was because the dark clouds from yesterday had passed, but the sky was now exceptionally clear. Sunlight shone on the surface of the sea, turning the sea into a boundless sapphire that glistened amidst the ripples. The fresh air and beauty were intoxicating, and of course they were no exception.

As soon as Lin Qingrou received the card, she ran towards the villa by the sea. She couldn’t wait to sleep in the villa to listen to the sound of the waves.

Ye Qingming allowed her to pull him to wander around, occasionally looking at the plants and gecko, and did not say anything unnecessary. Because he could feel that she was sincerely happy at this moment, he did not want to interrupt her.

After a while, she was finally tired. She stood on the balcony railing of the villa looking at the sea and the sunlight, listening to the sound of the waves occasionally hitting the railing below the villa. She could not help but say, “If only I could live here forever.”

At some point, Ye Qingming had appeared behind her and said: “Wait until the next New Year holiday, we can still come here. Since there are so many islands here, I’m afraid we won’t be able to see it for the rest of our lives.”

Lin Qingrou sighed softly. She didn’t just want to be here, but in any place where she could temporarily escape from this hatred and life. However, this was only her extravagant hope.

Ye Qingming turned around and put on a shawl for her, then said, “I might see some fish here later.”

As they spoke, the two of them sat on the staircase. As the staircase was connected directly to the balcony of the villa and the sea, it was especially interesting to sit on it.

After a while, Lin Manshou suddenly pointed at the seawater and said, “Look, look! Nemo! ”

Ye Qingming followed the direction of her finger and saw a few small orange fish swimming in the light green sea water.

He asked, “What is Nemo? This fish should be the Clown Fish. ”

Lin Qingrou looked at the Clown Fish with rapt attention and laughed at him, “Haven’t you ever watched < Total Seabed Mobilization >? Nemo is the main character, and he is the Clown Fish, just like that. ”

Ye Qingming shook his head. Although he had heard of this before, he had never seen the ‘Underwater Mobilization’ before. Just then, a few more blue king fishes swam over, and Lin Qingrou couldn’t help but laugh. “Isn’t that Dolly? “So that’s how you are.”

Ye Qingming saw her calling out the name of a human from time to time from the sea of fish. He said to her, “It seems like I need to study this movie.”

Lin Qingrou nodded. She rested her chin on her knees and said to Ye Qingming, “I like Nimo the most because he is smart. “But why would he lose his memory in the end?”

Ye Qingming could only quietly listen, because he didn’t know the plot, but after listening to her description, he had a rough understanding of it.

“Is Yu Di’s memory really only limited to seven seconds?” she asked suddenly.

“Maybe not, but a classmate of mine told me that the memories of certain species of fish are actually far more than seven seconds.”

“Oh, then it seems that being a fish is very unhappy. Do they also remember sad things?”

Lin Qingrou said many things unconsciously. As Ye Qingming listened to her, he felt that there was a sort of loneliness and sorrow in Lin Qingrou’s heart that he would never be able to imagine.

At night, Lin Qingrou tossed and turned in his bed. She didn’t know what was going on, but even when sleepiness hit her, she couldn’t get to sleep.

The sound of the waves rose and fell outside the house, disturbing her. She quietly got up, grabbed a piece of clothing from the darkness, and draped it over her shoulders. Then, she walked out onto the terrace.

At this moment, the surface of the sea had already turned into an endless black. The sky and sea connected, casting a shadow over the endless night sky. It was somewhat mysterious and terrifying.

She stood on the deck and looked at the seawater under the railing from time to time. She could not help but stick her toes out, but she was afraid that she would lose her footing and fall into the sea.

The current her was like stepping on thin ice, yet she was unable to extricate herself from it. All she wanted was to be free, or never to expose the whole thing, or simply to die together. Because her life was like always standing on the edge of a knife, any moment of carelessness could lead to her death. Furthermore, she would never be able to find the right answer between this helpless reality and Ye Qingming. She only felt that she was about to collapse.

Lin Qingrou squatted with her hands holding on to the railing, her hands slowly slipping down to the ground. She touched the warm and wet wood, sighing. Although she had expected all of this to happen, when she finally experienced it, she realized that the degree of the pain had far exceeded her expectations.

The only thing she didn’t think of was that she would fall in love with Ye Qingming.

Ye Qingming woke up in the early morning. He reached to the side and suddenly found that the seat beside him was empty. He sat up, startled, and saw that she was standing on the deck.

Ye Qingming silently walked to the front door of the balcony. He did not go out, but silently watched her figure from behind the door. The necklace around his neck made clanking sounds as he gently took out the ring from within his clothes. The diamond emitted a faint light under the moonlight, as if it carried some sort of enticing spiritual power. He looked at the ring, then at Lin Qingrou. She seemed to want to turn around and come back, so he quickly went back to his bed and pretended to be asleep.

Lin Qingrou opened the door and quietly returned to her bed. She gently covered herself with the blanket and let out a sigh of relief.

The two of them opened their eyes in the darkness with their backs facing each other, thinking about their own matters. However, they still thought that they could disguise themselves well enough in front of each other.

This was a world of lies and trade-offs. No one was spared.

The next morning, when she woke up, Lin Qingrou sat up lazily. She first picked up her phone to check the time, then she froze for a moment. Only after a long while did she regain her senses. She first looked at her bedroom, then the living room, deck, and terrace, but there were no signs of Ye Qingming anywhere.

Lin Qingrou waited for a while at first, but after a long time, she still did not see him leave.

“Ye Qingming, where did you go?” Lin Qingrou began to call out to him.

She had hardly ever called out his name in front of him, and if she hadn’t been so anxious in the last few days, she might never have realized it.

Lin Qingrou put on her shawl and left the villa, walking onto the beach. He looked around and shouted, “Ye Qingming!” But all that answered her were the cries of seagulls and birds.

Disappointed, she returned to the villa. Just as she was about to open the door, she felt someone standing behind her. She turned around and saw Ye Qingming standing behind her.

“Where did you go?” she asked eagerly.

Ye Qingming smiled, “I saw you were sleeping, so I didn’t wake you up. I went out for a walk. I heard you calling me just now, so I hurried back. ”

Lin Qingrou let out a quiet sigh of relief. She didn’t know why, but she was afraid that she would have to face the endless sea and the endless sky by herself.

Ye Qingming followed her back to the mansion, he did not seem to notice anything wrong with Lin Qingrou at all, but just when he was about to ask what she wanted to do today, Lin Qingrou suddenly turned around. She hugged Ye Qingming’s body tightly, not saying a word.

Ye Qingming realized that something was wrong and asked softly, “What happened? Is it because of what I just left? Was it because of what happened the day before yesterday, but I promise I’ll never do it again. ”

Lin Qingrou shook her head, she lowered her voice and said softly, “No, it’s not because of you, it’s my problem.”

Ye Qingming suddenly smiled. He felt that she was just a bit scared and sensitive, but this was the common problem of all the girls, so he couldn’t say anything.

After a few minutes, Lin Qingrou slowly let go of him. She suddenly asked, “When you return home, do you have to work?”

Ye Qingming pulled her down and asked her, “What happened to you today? Wasn’t it fine yesterday? Why did it become so strange when I woke up in one night? ”

Lin Qingrou shook her head. She forced a smile and said, “Nothing much. I just wanted you to say that I’m a bit scared after what happened the day before yesterday.”

Ye Qingming smiled. He looked at the sea surface and said, “Today’s weather is pretty good. I heard the locals say that if we are lucky, we might see dolphins when we go out to sea.”

Lin Qingrou showed a slightly surprised expression. She nodded, and then she suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

The waiter brought the breakfast to the entrance of the villa. Ye Qingming gave him a tip of ten dollars and then placed the breakfast on the balcony. He thought to himself that it would be a pleasure to have breakfast with Lin Qingrou while looking at the sea.

Lin Qingrou sat on the side with her phone, quietly watching Ye Qingming busy himself with his work. She looked at her phone and suddenly felt lost.

At this moment, the chat page between Xiao Chuxin and her was still quietly left on his phone. She didn’t retreat back to the desk, but stayed where she was on the page.

Lin Qingrou got up and sat beside him. She placed her phone to the side, sighed as she looked at the breakfast that had already filled the entire table, “Such a sumptuous breakfast.”

Ye Qingming smiled and passed the fork and knife to her.

Lin Qingrou looked at it, then said, “I’ll go wash my hands first, why don’t you eat first.”

Then, she got up from her seat, looked at her phone and said to Ye Qingming, “I’m waiting for an editor to call. If his phone rings, help me take a look.”

Ye Qingming nodded and said, “Okay.”

Lin Qingrou left the balcony and returned to the bathroom in her bedroom. She intentionally left a crack in the door so that she could hear the sound outside. A few minutes later, just as she finished washing her hands, she suddenly heard a text message from her phone.

She waited for Ye Qingming to finish reading the information before calming down. Then, she walked out of the bathroom at a leisurely pace.

“What are you thinking about?” she asked.

Ye Qingming suddenly came back to his senses. He forced a smile and said, “It’s nothing, hurry and eat, otherwise it will get cold.”

Lin Qingrou smiled as if nothing had happened, “How could it be? The weather here is so hot. Is there something on your mind? Why does my face look so bad? ”

Ye Qingming put down his knife and fork. He suddenly looked at Lin Qingrou inquiringly, then he picked up her phone and asked her, “I have a question, I don’t know if I should ask you.”

Lin Qingrou put down her utensils and looked at him with the same gaze as he did. She asked curiously, “What’s the problem?”

Ye Qingming took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then placed her phone beside her hand.

“I thought your editor was sending you a message and accidentally saw Xiao Chuxin’s message. What did she say to you? ”

Lin Qingrou asked him, “I should be the one asking you this, right? You must have said something to her!”

Ye Qingming was speechless. He did not know where to start, “She and I did have a relationship, but that was a long time ago. About a year, maybe two. Even the picture she just sent you was taken between me and two years ago. ”

For the first time, Lin Qingrou noticed a kind of panic on Ye Qingming’s face. She actually felt good about it.

“Then why did she send me these? “Did you tell me that she still couldn’t forget you even after almost two years?”

Ye Qingming had nothing to say. He did not know why Xiao Chu Xin would do this. The two of them had been friendly when they parted ways. After that, she did not have any excessive words or actions. He pondered for a long time before suddenly remembering that Xiao Chuxin’s relationship with Quan Wei was not ordinary. He immediately understood. However, he still felt guilty when facing Lin Wanrou. After all, he could not say that all responsibilities belonged to Quan Wei.

Although Ye Qingming did not know what was going on, he had no way to refute her. He could only let Lin Qingrou say whatever she wanted.

Seeing that he did not say anything, the fire in Lin Manrou’s heart became more and more intense. She suddenly stood up, and without even eating breakfast, she went back to her bedroom to get a coat and went out.

Ye Qingming had no choice but to follow behind her. He didn’t want to explain because he didn’t know how to explain. After all, to be fair, he could be considered as half a victim. He helplessly thought to himself, when I return home, I must properly settle this debt with Quan Wei!

Lin Qingrou walked all the way to the beach, leaving countless footprints on the sand. Just as she was about to sit down, a girl ran up to her and said, “Would you mind taking a picture for us?”

She looked and saw that it was a young couple.

“Alright.”

As she said this, Lin Manrou took a few photos of them. Just as she was about to return the camera, Ye Qingming suddenly walked up to the girl and asked, “Can I trouble you to take one for us?”

The girl happily agreed. Then, she took Ye Qingming’s phone and said to them, “You two should stand closer to each other. Lean closer to the center. Such a beautiful scenery, you must be intimate with each other.”

Lin Qingrou didn’t want to move. She stood to the side and allowed Ye Qingming to pull her arm as if she didn’t care about it.

The girl and her husband looked at each other and smiled. “Looks like a fight,” they whispered.

When Ye Qingming saw this, he reached out and picked Lin Qingrou up before walking to the shore.

Lin Qingrou was shocked at first, but when she reacted, she felt the sky spinning, and then she realized that she was already lying on Ye Qingming’s shoulder. She said unhappily to him: “Ye Qingming, quickly let me down! Everyone’s watching, what are you trying to do!? There are so many rocks on the ground. What if you get stuck in your foot? ”

Ye Qingming then slowly put her on the ground and smiled to her, “If you had been so obedient earlier, you wouldn’t have been made a fool of in front of others.”

Lin Qingrou turned her back to him and squeezed his waist while he was taking the photo. Ye Qingming suddenly felt pain, but he didn’t show it on his face. It was only after the couple had left that he took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack. He almost chased Lin Mangrou into the ocean.

The two of them played for half a day before finally returning to the shore, panting heavily. Lin Qingrou laid down on the beach without a care. She looked at the blue sky through her veil and said softly, “I know you’re not that kind of person, but every woman can’t stay calm in that situation. I’m not a saint, so I can’t possibly not care. ”

Ye Qingming seemed to be very satisfied with her answer. He laid on the side and placed his palm on her hand, then held up his phone for her to see.

He had already set up the photo he had just taken as the wallpaper for his phone. “You see, this time you can announce to the world your ownership.”

“Fortunately, I’m quite satisfied.” Lin Qingrou laughed.

Ye Qingming said, “Look, you girls think too much. You always have to think about something as complicated as a simple matter.”

Lin Qingrou grunted, then asked meaningfully, “What do you mean ‘all of you’ girls? Don’t tell me you know many other girls?”

Ye Qingming knew that he had spoken falsely, so he did not continue to talk.

Fortunately, Lin Qingrou didn’t mean to make things difficult for him. She thought for a moment before saying, “I want to learn how to drive.”

Ye Qingming said in surprise, “How rare, why did you suddenly think of this?”

Lin Qingrou laughed, “I just thought I should learn, so I did. But I don’t need you to teach me, I’ll find Yuxi to teach me. ”

Ye Qingming was curious. “Why?”

Lin Qingrou sat up. “Because I learn to drive very slowly. I’m afraid you’ll despise me for being stupid.”

Ye Qingming smiled helplessly. How could he dislike her?
