Chapter 32 Aperro Orange Light "Want me to kiss you here?" "Also..."
"Chen Cen, I really want to kiss you."
The man's alluring peach blossom eyes stared intently at her, his palm moving up the sheet until he clasped her right hand.
They were still holding hands.
"OK?"
Shen Cen dared not reveal his desires openly, and could only reply softly, "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man placed a light kiss on her forehead.
This was unexpected for Shen Cen. She thought she would be greeted with a passionate kiss, at least like the one in the car, but to her surprise, Jiang Shiyu only kissed her forehead.
She was somewhat puzzled, her doe-like eyes blinking rapidly, her gaze unconsciously drifting to the man's reddened lips.
In just that one glance, she felt an urge to kiss Jiang Shiyu.
The next second, she was startled by her own thought, and her earlobes instantly turned red as if they were about to bleed.
No matter how subtle her movements were, they wouldn't escape Jiang Shiyu's eyes. After all, his heart and soul were completely focused on Chen Cen; how could he possibly overlook even the smallest of her actions?
Jiang Shiyu raised the corners of his lips, "Not enough?"
Where do you want me to kiss you?
They maintained a distance of about half a palm's width, his thumb caressing the woman's reddened ear. It was so soft; he really wanted to take it in his mouth.
Do you want me to kiss you here?
After saying that, he moved his hand to the corner of the woman's lips and gently touched them.
"Still here?"
His words were gentle and deep, stirring Chen Cen's heartbeat. Beads of sweat seeped out on the back of his neck, and steam rose from his skin.
Shen Cen wished she had a glass of wine by her side right now, so that she could do whatever she wanted while drunk.
Jiang Shiyu noticed Shen Cen's shyness and patiently guided her step by step:
“Chen Cen, it’s just the two of us here. You can tell us your true thoughts.”
“I…” Shen Cen’s lips moved, as if he had mustered up a great deal of courage:
"I want both."
The oxygen was instantly completely plundered.
Their breaths mingled, their bodies embraced, and the man's kisses fell softly, their lips and teeth intertwining.
Shen Cen felt like she was about to drown in these passionate kisses.
But she was willing to indulge in it.
The only sound in the quiet room was the exchange of saliva. But then, Jiang Shiyu's phone rang at an inopportune moment.
He stopped what he was doing, his displeasure barely concealed. He picked up his phone and saw that the person making the call was Jiang Wanqi.
Looking at his expression, Shen Cen sensed that Jiang Shiyu would not let Jiang Wanqi off easily this time.
Jiang Shiyu pressed the answer button: "What is it?"
Perhaps because their kiss had been too intense, Jiang Shiyu was still breathing heavily as he spoke.
"Brother, did you just finish working out?"
"Get to the point."
Is your sister-in-law nearby?
"Yes." Jiang Shiyu placed the phone next to Chen Cen's head. "Go ahead."
Jiang Wanqi suddenly realized that she might have ruined her brother and sister-in-law's plans. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally spoke, "Um, I didn't... disturb you two, did I?"
"Good to know."
"No!"
The two voices rang out at the same time, and Shen Cen, whose lie was exposed on the spot, buried his head in the pillow in embarrassment.
"Ahhh, sister-in-law, brother, I'm so sorry." Jiang Wanqi knew she had completely offended her brother, so she immediately slid down and knelt down to apologize.
"Just say it, what is it?" Jiang Shiyu was quite calm. He turned over and sat back on the bed.
"I just got back to China, and I'd like to visit some interesting places. Are you and your wife free? Why don't we go together? We can also invite Brother Fu Cheng."
Jiang Wanqi went abroad when she was a child, and in recent years she has traveled all over the world, but she has not been to many places in China.
Jiang Shiyu leaned down and asked Shen Cen in a low voice, "Do you want to go? If you don't want to go, I'll just find an excuse to brush her off."
Shen Cen was somewhat tempted, and she also understood the meaning behind Jiang Wanqi's words. She actually wanted to invite Fu Cheng to join, but she needed Jiang Shiyu's help.
"all right."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiyu said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Okay, when are you planning to go? Where are you going?"
Jiang Wanqi briefly explained her travel plans, which included several well-known tourist attractions in China, most of which Shen Cen had never visited.
"By the way, brother, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you for help with."
Before Jiang Wanqi could even speak, Jiang Shiyu had already guessed what it was.
"Want me to arrange a meeting with Fu Cheng?"
"As expected of my brother!" Jiang Wanqi exclaimed excitedly.
"No way." Jiang Shiyu still remembered the grudge from earlier.
Jiang Wanqi's face instantly fell, and her voice became listless: "Brother, please, sister-in-law, please help me persuade my brother, okay?"
Shen Cenxin is soft-hearted and couldn't resist Jiang Wanqi's coquettishness: "Okay, just help Wanqi out."
Jiang Shiyu smiled and said, "Okay, Jiang Wanqi, I can help you, but you have to offer me a condition in return."
Jiang Wanqi thought about it carefully. Jiang Shiyu lacked nothing. The only thing she could offer him to negotiate with was...
"How about this, I'll design a set of jewelry for my sister-in-law myself, so she can wear it at her wedding?"
Upon hearing the word "wedding," Shen Cen was stunned, exclaiming "Ah!" in surprise, and looked at Jiang Shiyu. However, Jiang Shiyu showed no surprise at all; he seemed quite satisfied with the suggestion and slowly said, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Cen asked Jiang Shiyu, "What's the situation with the wedding?"
The two never mentioned having a wedding. They thought it was a marriage of convenience, so they decided not to have one and no one brought it up again.
Jiang Shiyu squinted, looking languid: "Jiang Wanqi probably thinks we're about to have our wedding, after all, we've been married for several months now."
It seemed Jiang Shiyu was unaware of the situation either. Shen Cen hummed in agreement. "Next time you see Wanqi, you can explain to her that we..."
"Chen Cen, do you want to have a wedding?"
A man's voice suddenly rang out.
Shen Cen was stunned. A wedding is no small matter, and she hadn't thought about it before.
"Let me think about it and then I'll let you know, okay?"
“Okay.” Jiang Shiyu nodded. “Whether you want to do it or not, keep Jiang Wanqi’s jewelry. It’s a token of her affection for her sister-in-law.”
Moreover, Jiang Wanqi's jewelry designs are very tasteful. Last year, she also achieved a good ranking at the Couture Design Awards, which is known as the "Oscars of the jewelry industry," and gained many followers on Instagram.
Shen Cen nodded.
Jiang Shiyu kept his word and sent Fu Cheng a message: "Want to go on a trip? Jiang Wanqi is organizing a party, and she specifically asked you to come."
Fu Cheng: [Are there any other people?]
Jiang Shiyu: [My wife and me.]
Fu Cheng: [Okay.]
After informing Fu Cheng, Jiang Shiyu silenced his phone, tossed it aside, and then moved closer to Chen Cen.
Shen Cen knew something was wrong.
Jiang Shiyu raised his eyes slightly, picked up a strand of Shen Cen's hair with one hand, and twirled and wrapped it around his fingertips.
Shen Cen's face flushed red again, and he lowered his head.
Jiang Shiyu was in a good mood, and looked at Chen Cen with his deep eyes.
He raised the corner of his lips: "We were interrupted just now, shall we continue?"
-
The departure date was set for five days from now.
Jiang Wanqi wanted to see the sea, so she decided on Xingwan Island, a domestic island, as her travel destination.
Although I just went to City A a few days ago, it was a business trip and the schedule was quite tight.
This was the first real trip for Shen Cen during her summer vacation. She felt much more relaxed and was really looking forward to the trip.
It was also her and Jiang Shiyu's first real trip together.
After boarding the plane, Jiang Wanqi and Jiang Shiyu switched seats, and Jiang Wanqi sat next to Fu Cheng.
"Want to take a nap?" Jiang Shiyu asked Shen Cen.
Shen Cen nodded. He had gotten up early today, and now he was feeling sleepy.
Jiang Shiyu took a U-shaped pillow out of his bag and put it around Shen Cen's neck: "Sleep now, I'll wake you when we get there."
Shen Cen leaned obediently against the U-shaped pillow, turning his head to look out the porthole.
The milky white clouds were right in front of me, as if I could reach out and touch them.
She fell asleep soon after. Jiang Shiyu gently supported Chen Cen's head, letting her lean against him.
Jiang Shiyu's shoulder seemed very comfortable to lean on, and Shen Cen subconsciously rubbed against it a couple of times, like a spoiled kitten.
Jiang Shiyu's eyes were filled with laughter as he patted Chen Cen's head and then kissed her cheek.
Jiang Wanqi, who was sitting to the side and behind, kicked Jiang Shiyu's seat and handed him her phone, gesturing for him to look at it.
She captured the scene just now.
Jiang Shiyu was very satisfied with the photo, constantly zooming in and moving it around to examine it. He only returned the phone to Jiang Wanqi when she kicked it back towards his seat.
After a one-and-a-half-hour flight, the four of them took a private car from the airport to a seaside guesthouse called "Orange Bay".
The sun was about to set, and the seawater was dyed a large expanse of golden orange, seemingly becoming sweet and sour and delicious. This scene immediately reminded Shen Cen of a wine he had been savoring – "Aperol Orange Light".
The Ferrari convertible cruised along the coastal highway, a gentle sea breeze carrying the scent of salty seawater—an atmosphere of freedom and leisure.
On the distant cross-sea bridge, you can see silhouettes of couples, some embracing and kissing, others strolling hand in hand, all capturing a moment on this romantic island.
Half an hour later, the four arrived at "Orange Bay". Before even entering, Shen Cen was attracted by the colorful murals on the wall.
It's like the world in a Miyazaki Hayao anime.
The four of them booked a guesthouse. Shen Cen and Jiang Wanqi shared a room, while Jiang Shiyu and Fu Cheng each had their own room.
The guesthouse owners were a very warm-hearted couple who prepared a sumptuous meal of Xingwan Island specialties to treat the four of us.
"Are you two couples?" The female boss was a kind-looking auntie, whom everyone called Aunt Feng. Aunt Feng asked the four of them with a smile.
Jiang Wanqi answered first: "The two of them are, but the two of us are not yet."
After speaking, she secretly glanced at Fu Cheng. However, Fu Cheng was always someone who didn't show his emotions, and Jiang Wanqi couldn't glean any information from his expression, so she pouted unhappily. But soon, all the dishes were served, and they looked and smelled delicious, so her mood brightened up again.
Aunt Feng ladled a bowl of spinach and fish ball soup for each of them. "The spinach is grown by us, and the fish balls are made from fish caught this morning. They're very fresh. Please try them."
When it was Shen Cen's turn, she hesitated for a moment, and just as she was about to take the bowl, Jiang Shiyu took it from her first.
"Aunt Feng, my wife is allergic to spinach, so I'll drink this fish ball soup for her."
After saying that, Jiang Shiyu took a big gulp and praised, "It tastes really good."
Shen Cen was stunned. She remembered eating spinach once when she was a child. After going out to play, her lips became red and swollen. She ran home crying, and Fu Meihua said she was allergic to spinach.
However, she had never told Jiang Shiyu that she was allergic to spinach. How did Jiang Shiyu know? Did he guess it from her usual eating habits?
She looked at the man, who raised the corner of his eye, his expression smug.
Shen Cen felt as if something had been struck in her heart, her blood rushing to her head, and she quietly reached out to cover her chest.
After returning to his room, Shen Cen turned on his phone and saw a message Wen Jie had sent an hour earlier:
[Honey, have you arrived at Star Bay Island yet? Don't forget me if you find anything fun!]
[Oh, by the way, Summer Echoes released a new announcement, it seems to be some kind of recruitment event, have you seen it?]
Shen Cen hadn't had a chance to play the game today. After replying to Wen Jie's message, she opened "Summer Echoes." Sure enough, as soon as she entered the game, she saw the announcement Wen Jie had mentioned.
Shen Cen glanced at it briefly; the gist was that the game was soliciting creative ideas from all players, with the theme of a marriage proposal scene. There weren't many restrictions; the game developers hoped all female players would freely depict their most romantic and desired marriage proposal scenarios.
Of course, this creative competition will also select winners, and the prizes are quite attractive.
Shen Cen was very interested, not just because of the generous reward, but because she wanted to take this opportunity to show off the romance she had kept hidden in her heart.
In addition, she has had plenty of time on Xingwan Island recently, and the island's romantic atmosphere provides her with ample inspiration.
Just then, Jiang Wanqi came out of the shower and inadvertently glanced at the content on Chen Cen's phone screen. She stopped in her tracks and asked, "Hey, sister-in-law, are you playing 'Summer Echoes'?"
"Yes." Shen Cen put down her phone, slightly surprised. She thought Jiang Wanqi, who lived abroad for many years, wouldn't have heard of "Summer Echoes," so she asked, "Wanqi, do you know this game too?"
Of course.
This time, it was Jiang Wanqi who looked puzzled. "Sister-in-law, isn't this game just..."
