The morning sun shone through the gaps in the curtains, gently falling on the bed of Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen. Jiang Zhi slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was Shen Qingchen's handsome and loving face. Shen Qingchen's eyelashes were like a delicate little fan in the sunlight, trembling slightly with his even breathing. Jiang Zhi couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his cheek, but this subtle movement still woke Shen Qingchen up. He opened his eyes, his eyes full of pampering, a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "Good morning, dear."
Jiang Zhi's face flushed slightly, and she buried her head in Shen Qingchen's arms like a shy kitten. Shen Qingchen hugged her tightly, feeling her warmth. After a while, Jiang Zhi raised her head, her eyes sparkling, and suggested: "Let's cook together today. It's been a long time since we made a hearty breakfast together." Shen Qingchen readily agreed. He gently scratched Jiang Zhi's nose and said: "Okay, how about we make your favorite pancake today?" Jiang Zhi nodded excitedly.
The two came to the kitchen, and Shen Qingchen was responsible for preparing the batter. He carefully poured the flour into the bowl, added the right amount of water, and then stirred it with chopsticks. Jiang Zhi watched from the side, and from time to time gave some small suggestions, such as the thickness of the batter should be just right, so that the pancakes would be soft and delicious. Shen Qingchen adjusted according to Jiang Zhi's suggestions. Although his movements were not as skillful as Jiang Zhi's, they were full of seriousness. Jiang Zhi began to cut the side dishes. She selected fresh lettuce, crisp cucumbers and fragrant ham. Her knife skills were very good. Each piece of lettuce was cut into even sizes, and the cucumber shreds were cut as thin as hair.
When Shen Qingchen prepared the batter, he turned on the stove, heated the pan, and then carefully scooped a spoonful of batter into the pan. As the batter made a "sizzling" sound when it touched the bottom of the pan, Shen Qingchen nervously picked up the spatula and tried to spread the batter. But his movements were still a little unfamiliar, and the shape of the pancake was not very regular. Jiang Zhi couldn't help laughing after seeing this. She walked over, held Shen Qingchen's hand, and said, "Come on, like this, slowly spread from the center outwards." With the help of Jiang Zhi, the shape of the pancake gradually became round. Shen Qingchen turned his head to look at Jiang Zhi, and her focused expression made his heart beat. He couldn't help but kiss Jiang Zhi on the cheek and said, "It's great to have you around."
After the pancakes were ready, they brewed two cups of fragrant coffee. Jiang Zhi brought the pancakes and coffee to the dining table, then sat down across from Shen Qingchen. While savoring their homemade breakfast, they shared anecdotes from their lives. Jiang Zhi recounted her childhood experiences in the countryside, those simple yet happy times. Shen Qingchen, in turn, recounted some of the interesting opponents he encountered in business negotiations and how he skillfully dealt with them. Their laughter echoed in the room, filled with the scent of happiness.
After breakfast, the two decided to go to a movie together. They went to the cinema and chose a romantic comedy. In the dim cinema, Shen Qingchen held Jiang Zhi's hand tightly, and their hands were clasped together, as if conveying endless love. The plot in the movie was very funny, and Jiang Zhi laughed so hard that she fell backwards. Shen Qingchen looked at her happy face and laughed too. Sometimes, Jiang Zhi would be moved to tears by the touching plot in the movie, and Shen Qingchen would gently wipe away her tears, then hug her in his arms and whisper in her ear: "Baby, this is just a movie, our love is better than this."
After coming out of the cinema, the sun was shining brightly. They decided to go for a walk in the nearby park. The flowers in the park were in full bloom, and the colorful flowers competed with each other for splendor. Jiang Zhi ran to the flowers excitedly like a child, smelling the fragrance of the flowers. Shen Qingchen followed her and took out his mobile phone to take pictures of her. Jiang Zhi posed in various cute poses, and her smile was brighter than the flowers. They strolled along the path in the park. The trees on the roadside were lush and green, blocking the sunlight for them. Occasionally, a breeze would blow, bringing a hint of coolness. Shen Qingchen gently took Jiang Zhi's arm and said, "Do you know? Every time I'm with you, I feel that time flies. I hope this time can last forever." Jiang Zhi leaned on his shoulder and said, "Me too. I cherish every moment with you."
As they walked, they came to the lake in the park. The water was crystal clear, and a few ducks were swimming leisurely on the surface of the lake. Shen Qingchen picked up a small stone and threw it hard towards the center of the lake, causing ripples on the surface of the lake. Jiang Zhi also imitated him and threw stones. They competed to see whose stone could cause more ripples, and their laughter echoed by the lake. After playing tired, they sat on a bench by the lake and quietly looked at the scenery on the lake. Shen Qingchen's hand was on Jiang Zhi's shoulder, and Jiang Zhi's head was resting on his shoulder. They enjoyed this quiet and beautiful moment.
In the evening, they returned home. Jiang Zhi walked into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner. Shen Qingchen wanted to help, but was driven out of the kitchen by Jiang Zhi. She said, "I'll cook dinner tonight. You just wait and enjoy the delicious food." Shen Qingchen smiled helplessly and had to sit in the living room to read the newspaper. Jiang Zhi was busy in the kitchen. She decided to make a hearty Western meal. She carefully fried the steak, and the steak gave off an enticing aroma. She also made a vegetable salad with a variety of fresh vegetables combined together, with bright colors. When dinner was ready, Jiang Zhi brought the steak and salad to the table and took out a bottle of her treasured red wine.
They lit candles to create a romantic atmosphere. Under the soft candlelight, they savored delicious steak and refreshing vegetable salad, drinking mellow red wine. Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi with eyes full of love. He said, "My dear, your cooking is getting better and better." Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "That's because I have a good gourmet like you." After dinner, they cleared the table together, then sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and watched the show casually. Jiang Zhi leaned in Shen Qingchen's arms, and Shen Qingchen's hand gently stroked her hair. Their love was like a blooming flower, exuding a sweet fragrance that permeated this warm little home.
Today, as always, they enjoy this simple yet blissful world of two. Free from external distractions, free from worries and entanglements, there's only each other's companionship and endless love. They know this life is the result of their joint efforts and the cherishment they place on each other. Every smile, every hug, every moment spent together is a testament to their love.
