On the island, the sun shone on the golden sand, and the waves gently lapped against the shore, like a gentle melody played by nature. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen walked hand in hand along the beach, each step leaving a footprint, deep and shallow, just like the years they had walked together, though with ups and downs, but each mark was full of meaning.
In the early morning, they got up early together, just to see the rising red sun on the rocks by the sea. When the first ray of sunlight cut through the darkness and dyed the sea surface a brilliant orange-red, Jiang Zhi was deeply shocked by the magnificent sight. There was a gleam in her eyes, a light that contained both admiration for the beauty of nature and love for the people around her. Shen Qingchen stood quietly beside her, his eyes always fixed on Jiang Zhi's face, watching her intoxicated look, his heart filled with happiness. He gently embraced Jiang Zhi in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Do you know? The most beautiful thing in the world is to watch every sunrise and sunset with you." Jiang Zhi's cheeks flushed slightly, she leaned in Shen Qingchen's arms, feeling his warmth and heartbeat. At that moment, she felt as if she owned the whole world.
During the day, they played and frolicked on the beach. Shen Qingchen, like a child, built one sandcastle after another on the beach. Jiang Zhi helped by decorating the sandcastles with shells and twigs to make them look more delicate. Occasionally, Shen Qingchen would secretly grab a handful of sand and sprinkle it on Jiang Zhi's hair when she wasn't paying attention. Jiang Zhi pretended to be angry and chased him. The two ran and laughed on the beach, and the laughter floated in the sea breeze and spread far and wide. When they were tired, they lay on the beach chairs and enjoyed the sun. Shen Qingchen would carefully apply sunscreen to Jiang Zhi, and his fingers gently slid across Jiang Zhi's skin, bringing a tingling sensation. Jiang Zhi closed her eyes and enjoyed this gentle care.
At noon, they arrived at a small seaside restaurant to sample the local cuisine. Fresh seafood, cooked into delicious dishes, was laid out before them. Shen Qingchen would first peel the shrimp for Jiang Zhi and place the tender meat on her plate. Jiang Zhi would also pass on the food she found delicious to Shen Qingchen. They shared the food, enjoying this simple yet pure joy. The restaurant was filled with the aroma of food and their laughter, and the people around them smiled knowingly at the sight of this happy couple.
In the afternoon, they strolled along the coastal path. The path was lined with tropical plants, their colorful flowers in full bloom, emitting an enchanting fragrance. Jiang Zhi curiously gazed at the unfamiliar plants, while Chen Qingchen, like a knowledgeable tour guide, patiently explained the names and characteristics of each one. Sometimes, they would encounter local critters, like tiny, adorable lizards or vibrantly colored butterflies. Jiang Zhi would excitedly stop and carefully observe them, while Chen Qingchen would record these beautiful moments with her phone.
In the evening, they came to the beach again, waiting for the sunset. The sky was dyed a fiery red by the setting sun, and the clouds took on all kinds of strange shapes, as if they were burned by fire. Jiang Zhi sat quietly on the beach, and Shen Qingchen sat behind her, holding her in his arms. They watched the sun sink below the sea level little by little, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in this golden afterglow. Jiang Zhi said softly: "Every time I see the sunset, I feel that time passes so quickly, but it is so beautiful." Shen Qingchen nodded and said: "Just like our love, every moment is precious."
At night, the sky was dotted with stars. They lay on the beach, looking up at the starry sky. Shen Qingchen pointed at the stars in the sky and told Jiang Zhi the story of the constellations. Jiang Zhi listened intently, imagining those ancient legends being played out one by one in the starry sky. Occasionally, a shooting star streaked across the night sky, and Jiang Zhi quickly closed her eyes and made a wish. Shen Qingchen looked at her pious look and couldn't help but kissed her forehead gently. They shared each other's dreams and thoughts under the starry sky. Jiang Zhi told Shen Qingchen that she hoped their love would be as bright as the starry sky. Shen Qingchen held her hand tightly and said, "I certainly will. I will always protect you and make you happy forever."
On this island, they were away from the hustle and bustle of the city and immersed in their love for each other. Every moment was filled with sweetness and happiness. Their love was sublimated in this beautiful place, becoming deeper and more firm.
