Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen sat at opposite ends of a dining table lit by flickering candlelight. The air around them seemed to be sweetened by the romantic atmosphere. Their eyes met, and in that instant, they seemed to see the infinite expectations for the future in each other's hearts.
Jiang Zhi tilted her head slightly, with a gentle smile on her lips, and broke the silence first: "Qingchen, what do you think our future home will look like?" There was a glimmer of longing in her eyes, like a child full of fantasy.
Shen Qingchen put down the wine glass in his hand and gently held Jiang Zhi's hand, feeling the warmth from her hand. "I think our home will be a place full of love." His voice was low and magnetic, flowing into Jiang Zhi's heart like a trickle of water. "Our home doesn't need to be too big, but it must have a big garden. The garden should be full of all kinds of flowers that you like. In spring, when all the flowers bloom, we can stroll among the flowers and enjoy the rich fragrance. Each flower is like a witness to our love. They sway gently in the breeze, as if telling our story."
Jiang Zhi listened intently, as if she had already seen that beautiful picture, herself wearing a white long dress, holding Shen Qingchen's arm, and walking slowly in the garden full of flowers. "Then we should also raise a puppy, a furry puppy. It can run happily in the garden, and whenever we come home from work, it will wag its tail to greet us."
Shen Qingchen nodded, his eyes full of doting. "Okay, let's get a puppy. We can give it a cute name, call it Xiaoxing." He gently stroked Jiang Zhi's hand and continued, "Our house should have large floor-to-ceiling windows so that sunlight can shine through the windows onto the living room floor. We can lay a soft carpet in the living room, and in the winter, we can sit on the carpet, leaning against the fireplace, reading a book or watching a movie together."
"Then our kitchen must be spacious and bright." Jiang Zhi said excitedly, "I want to cook all kinds of delicious food for you every day. For breakfast, I will prepare steaming hot fried eggs, crispy bacon and fresh fruit salad for you. For dinner, I will make your favorite steak and pair it with mellow red wine."
Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi with love in his eyes. "The food you cook must be the most delicious in the world. I also want to be busy in the kitchen with you. I will be responsible for chopping vegetables and washing dishes, and you will be responsible for cooking. We can play in the kitchen and be as happy as we are now."
"Our bedroom should have a super big bed." Jiang Zhi's face flushed slightly. "The bed should be soft and comfortable, with a photo of us hanging above it. Every night, we can sleep in each other's arms and fall asleep in each other's embrace. When we wake up in the morning, the first thing we see is you."
The corners of Shen Qingchen's mouth curled up, and he placed Jiang Zhi's hand on his cheek. "In our home, there will also be a study. The study is filled with all kinds of books, including the medical books you like and the business books I like. We can study together in the study and share each other's knowledge and insights. When we encounter problems, we can think together in the study and find answers together."
"We can also build a swing in the yard." Jiang Zhi's eyes sparkled. "On summer nights, we can sit on the swing and look at the starry sky. You can tell me stories about your childhood, and I can tell you interesting things I encountered while investigating clues."
"Then there must be a clear stream near our home." Shen Qingchen added, "We can have a picnic by the stream, put our feet in the stream, and feel the cool water. We can also fish by the stream and enjoy a quiet time."
Jiang Zhi imagined that scene, a happy smile on her face. "Our children will also grow up in such a loving environment. We will teach them kindness, courage, and wisdom. We will take them on trips and let them appreciate the beauty of this world."
"Our children will definitely be very happy." Shen Qingchen said, "We must give them enough love and freedom so that they can pursue their dreams. Boys will be like me, smart, brave, and responsible; girls will be like you, kind, beautiful, and full of love."
"We also need to pass on our values within the family," Jiang Zhi said seriously. "We need to let them know that family is the most important thing, and no matter what difficulties they encounter, their family will be there to support them."
Shen Qingchen held Jiang Zhi's hand tightly and said firmly: "We will work hard for this family together. I will work hard to run the company and create better material conditions for our family. And you, you can continue your medical research or do whatever you want. We support each other and accompany each other."
"We can also do some charity work together," Jiang Zhi said. "We can help those in need and pass on our love to more people."
“Okay, this is a very good idea.” Shen Qingchen agreed, “We can set up a charity fund specifically to help children and the elderly in poor areas. We can also go to those places in person to bring them warmth and hope.”
"Our future is full of infinite possibilities." Jiang Zhi's eyes were filled with hope. "As long as we work together, nothing can stop us from realizing our dreams."
"Yes, our love will continue forever, and our family will be filled with happiness and laughter." Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi affectionately, "We will go through every spring, summer, autumn and winter together and create countless beautiful memories together."
They sat in the candlelight, talking about their future life, as if that beautiful future was already within reach. Their love became more firm and profound in this night full of longing.
