Shen Qingchen had gone to great lengths to surprise Jiang Zhi. He'd meticulously planned this island trip weeks in advance. He knew Jiang Zhi was exhausted from all the recent events, whether it was the challenges facing the company or Jiang Yao's occasional disruptions, which had kept her on edge. Shen Qingchen wanted to create a completely relaxing environment for her, allowing her to forget all her worries and simply enjoy the quality time they had together.
He first secretly contacted his friends in the travel industry and carefully selected this beautiful island in the remote sea. This island is famous for its crystal clear waters, white and fine beaches, and rich and diverse marine life. To ensure the perfect itinerary, he personally oversaw every detail, from transportation to accommodation arrangements, leaving no room for sloppiness.
He booked a luxury resort hotel perched on a cliff by the sea. The room boasted huge floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a panoramic view of the entire island. The room's decor was filled with romantic marine elements, with exquisite shell paintings hanging on the walls and sheets with wave patterns on the bed, seemingly infusing the atmosphere of the ocean into every corner of the room.
The day before departure, Shen Qingchen secretly went to Jiang Zhi's favorite dessert shop and ordered several of her favorite desserts, having the staff carefully pack them for the plane. He also went to the flower shop and picked out a large bouquet of Jiang Zhi's favorite lilies. These lilies were carefully cared for, each one was delicate and beautiful, exuding an elegant fragrance.
The day of departure finally arrived. Shen Qingchen got up early and prepared everything. He quietly packed Jiang Zhi's luggage and put it in the trunk. Then, as usual, he gently woke Jiang Zhi up. Jiang Zhi opened her eyes in a daze and saw the mysterious smile on Shen Qingchen's face, feeling a little confused.
"We have a special event today." Shen Qingchen said with a smile.
"What special event?" Jiang Zhi asked curiously.
"Get up and change your clothes first, and you'll know in a moment." Shen Qingchen kept it a secret.
Jiang Zhi finished washing up and put on a simple and comfortable dress. Shen Qingchen took her hand, walked out of the house, and got into the car. The car slowly drove to the airport. Jiang Zhi was wondering what the special event was today, while Shen Qingchen just smiled and said nothing.
Arriving at the airport, Jiang Zhi saw the bustling crowd in the waiting hall and became even more confused. Shen Qingchen took her to the boarding gate, and at this time, Jiang Zhi realized that they were about to take a small private plane.
"Where are we going?" Jiang Zhi asked in surprise.
"It's a surprise. You'll know when you get there." Shen Qingchen replied with a smile.
After boarding the plane, Jiang Zhi found the interior incredibly cozy. There were soft sofas and a small, elegant dining table, decorated with her favorite lilies and desserts. After takeoff, Jiang Zhi gazed out the window at the gradually shrinking city, her heart filled with anticipation.
After several hours of flight, the plane slowly landed at the small airport on the island. Jiang Zhi stepped off the plane and was immediately struck by the stunning scenery before her. Warm sunlight bathed her body, a gentle sea breeze caressed her face, and the air was filled with the salty aroma of the sea.
Shen Qingchen held Jiang Zhi's hand and got into the convertible that the hotel had sent to pick them up. The car drove along the coastal highway, and along the way Jiang Zhi saw many beautiful scenery. There were turtles basking in the sun on the beach, seagulls flying over the sea, and the colorful coral reefs in the distance.
After arriving at the hotel, the staff warmly greeted them and took them to the reserved room. When Jiang Zhi walked into the room and saw the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and the charming sea view outside the window, he couldn't help but run to the window excitedly.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Jiang Zhi said happily.
Shen Qingchen hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Do you like it? This is a little surprise I prepared for you."
In the following days, they enjoyed the beauty of the island every day. In the morning, they would get up early and go to the beach to watch the sunrise. When the sun slowly rose from the sea level, the golden sunlight sprinkled on the sea, dyeing the entire sea golden. Jiang Zhi leaned in Shen Qingchen's arms, feeling this peaceful and beautiful moment.
During the day, they would stroll along the beach. Shen Qingchen would draw a portrait of Jiang Zhi on the sand, a sketch not particularly professional, but filled with love. Jiang Zhi would search for beautiful shells on the beach, and Shen Qingchen would follow her, carrying a small basket and helping her collect them. Sometimes, they would swim together, playing in the clear waters. Shen Qingchen would secretly kiss Jiang Zhi in the water, and Jiang Zhi would smile, pushing him away, only to be pulled back into his arms.
At noon, they would enjoy local delicacies at a seaside restaurant. Fresh seafood, unique fruits, every dish made them rave about it. Shen Qingchen would carefully peel shrimp shells and pick fish bones for Jiang Zhi, and Jiang Zhi would feed Shen Qingchen the food she thought was delicious.
In the afternoon, they would participate in some water activities organized by the hotel. For example, they would go out to sea on a sailboat and ride the waves. Shen Qingchen would hold Jiang Zhi's hand tightly to ensure her safety. Or they could go diving and explore the mysterious ocean world on the seabed. Jiang Zhi was a little scared when she first went diving, but Shen Qingchen was always by her side to encourage her and show her how to breathe and how to control her body balance. When Jiang Zhi saw the beautiful corals, colorful tropical fish and cute little seahorses on the seabed, she was so excited that she forgot her fear.
In the evening, they would return to the beach and lie on the beach chairs to watch the sunset. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange and red, and the sea became sparkling. Shen Qingchen would gently massage Jiang Zhi's shoulders, and Jiang Zhi would close his eyes and enjoy this pleasant moment.
At night, the hotel would hold a bonfire party on the beach. Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi would join in, hand in hand. They would dance around the bonfire with the other tourists, Shen Qingchen would spin Jiang Zhi around until she was dizzy, then hug her tightly. After the party, they would return to their room and sleep in each other's arms under the moonlight.
On this island, they were free from the hustle and bustle of the city, the pressure of work, and Jiang Yao's interference. Their world was filled with only each other, endless beauty, and sweet love.
