Chapter 64 Honeymoon: Spring in the Southern Hemisphere

The Gulfstream G650, which was sailing, landed at Auckland Airport.

Beijing is currently experiencing the vibrant colors of autumn, with oranges and tangerines turning yellow and green, while the Southern Hemisphere is just beginning to welcome early spring.

The twelve-hour flight spanned five time zones, and they spent most of their time on the large bed in the private jet.

The car was already waiting at the airport, and someone was helping to put the luggage away.

When Cheng Hexi set off, he had a bag containing his essentials, which You Yue carried in his hand the whole time.

He held her hand with his other hand and then opened the back door for her.

New Zealand is sunny, sparsely populated, and vibrant everywhere. People who are used to living in towering skyscrapers will probably fall in love with this scenery.

The sunlight shone gently as the car drove along the road, the cherry blossoms along the roadside in full bloom. As they passed the harbor, Cheng Hexi rolled down the car window halfway, the wind ruffling her hair and making a melodious sound.

The good weather on the North Island embraced them.

The ground temperature was higher than expected, so Cheng Hexi took off the trench coat she had just put on, revealing a soft, misty blue cardigan underneath.

She has a bright and striking appearance with exceptionally beautiful features. When she wears a suit or formal attire, her beauty is almost aggressive. The gentle misty blue softens that brilliance, and the lustrous pearl necklace around her neck accentuates her noble air.

You Yue stumbled upon this Australian white basil while accompanying a business partner to an exhibition in London. He spotted it in the shop window and felt it perfectly suited Cheng Hexi's style, so he immediately bought it.

Cheng Hexi's hand was still held in his, but her gaze was fixed on the vibrant spring scene in the suburbs outside the window.

The person next to her crossed their legs, leaning leisurely against the leather back seat, watching her intently.

The neckline of the cardigan wasn't tight, and as Cheng Hexi leaned forward slightly, You Yue saw a hickey on the side of her neck.

Cheng Hexi had already noticed his gaze, and finally turned around to look, meeting the man's quiet eyes.

It's been discovered.

You Yue smiled, then looked at her openly. He leaned closer, covering the red mark, and asked with concern, "Are you tired?"

"It's alright." Cheng Hexi knew what he was doing, so she leaned on his shoulder and found it amusing.

Even though he didn't want anyone to see it, he couldn't help but leave marks on her body while doing it.

Lifting her eyes, the man's jawline came into view, its lines incredibly sexy, his profile like a sculpted work of art. Cheng Hexi tilted her head back and kissed him, saying, "It's beautiful here." Then she asked, "When was the last time you were here?"

The two intertwined their fingers, and You Yue recalled carefully for a moment before saying, "December of the year I graduated from university."

December is summer in New Zealand.

The summers here aren't too hot; the temperature is very comfortable, making it a great place for a vacation.

But I didn't come here for a vacation.

“Ethan was newly married at the time, and I flew here for the wedding. Many streets were covered with jacaranda petals that season, which was very beautiful.”

Ethan is the friend of the one who runs the winery in Youyue.

They planned to rest at the hotel first, and then set off to visit him on the island in the afternoon.

"So you only attended the wedding when you were here?"

"I did drive, but it was a short trip, only three days. I didn't have a plan at the time and didn't want to rush, so I didn't see many attractions."

It's very similar to Yu Yue's style.

"Did you take any photos?" Cheng Hexi asked.

Her eyes held a hint of expectation, but You Yue could only answer "no."

Not only did he not take any photos, but he also had very little impression of the sights, and after several years he could hardly remember anything.

Seeing the slightly drooping eyelashes of the person next to her, You Yue smiled slightly and realized for the first time that not liking to take pictures was not a good habit.

But he's been to so many places that he's not really interested in any of them, and he's too lazy to even take out his phone to take a picture.

Cheng Hexi knew that he was busy with his own game at the time, and probably only skimmed through it when he was relaxing, so she understood.

You Yue smiled and coaxed her, "I brought my camera with me this time."

Cheng Hexi blinked upon hearing this.

He didn't mention it when they were making travel plans; she was so focused on the wedding photos that she forgot about the camera.

I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful.

Actually, You Yue's camera is more suitable for portraits than landscapes; he prepared it specifically for photographing Cheng Hexi.

Looking into her eyes, You Yue joked, "I've never seen you look at me with such adoration before."

Cheng Hexi smiled and said, "Really?"

"Actually, I admire you a lot most of the time."

You Yue also asked in return, "Really?", but in a lower tone.

He squeezed her fingers, looked at her for a moment, and then his deep gaze moved to the hickeys on her neck.

His gaze was undisguised, and Cheng Hexi tugged at her collar, looked up and glared at him.

Unlike You Yue, Cheng Hexi doesn't often say sweet words; the only time she says anything nice is in bed.

I don't know what nerve that sentence touched on.

You Yue curved her lips into a smile, made a gesture of surrender, and her gaze softened again.

He suddenly remembered something and said, "Although I've forgotten all the tourist attractions, I do remember speeding on the way to the South Island. I was chased by the police for a while, and I received a ticket a month after returning home."

Cheng Hexi couldn't help but laugh and asked in surprise, "You can make this kind of mistake?"

"Without carefulness." You Yue also has this kind of "previous record" in California.

He knew Cheng Hexi loved hearing about his past. After he finished, he sighed slightly, "The old lady collected the ticket and laughed at me for a long time."

Her smile widened even more.

Not long after, they passed a long cherry blossom road. Cheng Hexi got a camera from You Yue and took what she thought was the first photo of their honeymoon.

-

The hotel is located near the pier in the city center.

Auckland's harbor, nicknamed the City of Sails, is filled with yachts and sailboats. Standing in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the towering Sky Tower in the distance. The harbor's CBD is just across the water, and sailboats on the water leave long wakes in their wake.

They weren't too tired when they arrived, so they didn't rest for long. After taking a shower and changing their clothes, they prepared to head to the winery in the suburbs.

Before leaving, Cheng Hexi applied a layer of sunscreen and didn't forget to cover the exposed areas with several layers of concealer.

While busy with this matter, You Yue, dressed casually, leaned against the bathroom door and let her complain, apologizing very well.

However, despite knowing they are wrong and admitting their mistakes, they do not correct them.

Cheng Hexi already knew he was like this, so after saying a few words, she was too lazy to say anything more. After changing her clothes, she was hugged and kissed for a while before she was allowed to go out.

Ethan is a very generous person. Even though he was held up by some things, he arranged for his private yacht to pick them up.

In less than an hour, the two had crossed the dock and arrived at the winery's sign.

The air on the island was incredibly fresh, as clear and pure as the seawater, seemingly without a trace of impurity. Sunlight generously bathed the vast sea, creating a seamless blend of sky and sea, shimmering with golden light.

The winery is quite large, with many grapevines planted on slightly elevated ground. On the terrace in the distance, some tourists are leisurely enjoying wine. Looking back, one can still see the boundless sea view.

You Yue stood beside her, holding her hand.

In his view, the focus of "honeymoon trip" is on the "honeymoon" rather than the trip itself.

Here, no one knew them, they didn't need to make crucial decisions where even a small mistake could cause them to miss opportunities, and they didn't need to worry about work. Such leisurely time with their loved one was truly rare. The two chatted idly side-by-side the entire way, their hands almost never letting go.

The temperature on the island was pleasant, and Youyue wore a beige sweatshirt set.

Since leaving the hotel, Cheng Hexi's gaze has been fixed on him more often than usual.

After catching her red-handed once again, You Yue pressed her shoulder and made her look at him.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Hexi blinked in surprise.

Because of the sudden change in posture, her boots stepped on Youyue's white shoes, leaving a corner of the shoe print.

You Yue didn't mind and hugged her closer to him.

Cheng Hexi smiled and took advantage of her position to look at him openly.

You Yue always wore suits most of the time. Apart from looking through his photo album, Cheng Hexi had never seen him wear light-colored casual clothes.

He was tall and upright with excellent features. Dressed more casually, he shed his usual elite demeanor, but his noble air naturally shone through.

You Yue suddenly said, "I look very much like your ideal type, don't I?"

Seeing the person in front of him slightly startled, he curled his lips and said something surprising: "On the first day we lived together, you were looking at my abs."

ah?

Cheng Hexi's eyes widened slightly: "I..."

She was speechless for a moment, then chuckled, rubbing her forehead, and stubbornly said, "How could that be? You're just talking nonsense."

"Is that so?" You Yue leisurely released her, put his hands in his pockets, and said with a meaningful tone, "Then maybe I remembered it wrong."

Just when Cheng Hexi thought the matter was over, he seized the opportunity to bring it up again: "And when you bought me the shirt in Hong Kong, it was also because you felt..."

“Hey,” Cheng Hexi almost wanted to kick him again, interrupting him with a smile in her eyes but a deliberately serious tone: “Don’t push your luck.”

Her guilty conscience was clearly exposed.

The two looked at each other for a while, then suddenly turned their heads away and laughed.

The sun was shining brightly, and the winery looked like a beautiful lawn wedding venue. They wore matching wedding rings and watches, and clothes of the same color. Cheng Hexi laughed so hard she almost bent over, and You Yue, with a lingering smile in his eyes, reached out to steady her.

Cheng Hexi remembered what he said.

When she first moved into the villa, she lived in the side bedroom. One morning, she woke up groggily, wearing a slip dress, and saw You Yue returning from the gym as soon as she went out.

You Yue was very gentlemanly at the time, his gaze never crossing the line. It was she who, seeing the man return from the gym, took a few extra glances at his chest and back muscles under his T-shirt.

She admitted that her attraction to You Yue was indeed physiological and objective appreciation, which preceded her liking and love.

But this does not prevent him from becoming the only love of her life.

She still thinks You Yue is very handsome, and she takes a good look at him when she ties his tie. Occasionally, she finds it a fun part of getting up early to choose ties and cufflinks for him.

You Yue knows all of this.

They both knew they were extremely attracted to each other.

Just as he finished smiling, Ethan strode over from a short distance away.

He first gave You Yue a warm hug, and after You Yue introduced them to each other, he greeted Cheng Hexi generously, speaking fluent Chinese.

According to You Yue, he is of mixed Chinese and French descent.

Ethan has a healthy tan and a natural, warm smile that shines in the sun. He is a bit older than them.

When Cheng Hexi heard Ethan say that the atmosphere between her and You Yue just now was like taking wedding photos, she wondered when You Yue had become so fond of smiling.

When he was in a good mood in front of his friends, he would only chuckle lightly. Now, he is visibly happy and relaxed, and his whole demeanor has softened considerably.

Before You Yue could speak, Ethan realized what was going on and exclaimed dramatically, "Oh, I see! You've found love, haven't you?"
