Chapter 38 New York Sour [Finally won over the girl he liked]...
When we came out of the wooden bar, it was almost ten o'clock, but there were many more people on the beach than before, and more people were still coming.
Shen Cen asked Jiang Shiyu in confusion, "Why are there so many more people all of a sudden?"
Jiang Shiyu put his arm around her waist and explained, "This area of the sea is perfect for watching the sunrise. They all came here to wait for the sunrise."
"Waiting for the sunrise?"
Do you want to see it?
"I kind of want to."
"Then I'll go with you."
Jiang Shiyu returned to the wooden bar, and within a few minutes, he brought out a beach mat and neatly spread it out on the beach.
The cushion isn't big, but it's just right for two people to sit on.
Jiang Shiyu sat down, put his arm around Shen Cen's back, and held her hand tightly with his other hand, pulling her into his embrace. The man's usually cold and arrogant expression was completely replaced by tenderness at this moment.
This reassuring position made Shen Cen relax completely, and drowsiness crept over her. She tugged at Jiang Shiyu's sleeve, "Jiang Shiyu, I want to sleep for a while."
He even yawned after saying that.
Shen Cen always spoke softly, and now his voice was even gentler. Jiang Shiyu felt as if a kitten had licked his heart, and he completely softened.
He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart: "Then you sleep for a while, I'll wake you up when the sun rises."
"Why don't you go to sleep too? We'll set an alarm."
Shen Cen was worried that his body wouldn't be able to handle staying up all night, especially since he had taken care of her until very late the previous night, and then carried her to the bathroom to thoroughly wash her body. She had barely moved the whole time, but the man didn't lie down until the early hours of the morning.
"Okay, I'll go to sleep in a bit." Jiang Shiyu leaned down and kissed the woman's eyelids.
Perhaps it was the warmth of the man's embrace that made her fall asleep quickly, despite the two layers of fabric not being able to block out his heat. Jiang Shiyu, worried that she might catch a cold, quietly took off his thin coat and covered her with it.
Even in his sleep, Shen Cen was very restless, either rubbing his head against Jiang Shiyu's chest or touching him everywhere.
When he's asleep, Chen Cen is much more restless than when he's awake.
Jiang Shiyu couldn't help but smile, the curve of which was very beautiful, and he tightened his grip on Chen Cen's hand.
He couldn't bear to sleep; he wished he could watch Shen Cen every minute of every day.
The phone suddenly rang, and the person in his arms seemed to be disturbed by the ringtone. Their delicate features scrunched up, and they burrowed their head into the gap between Jiang Shiyu's arms.
Jiang Shiyu patted the woman's back reassuringly, and pressed the answer button with his other hand. It was He Yan calling.
"Boss, the Fang family is begging to see us..."
"I won't see you." Those two simple words conveyed an unwavering resolve.
"President Fang said everything is negotiable, as long as you're willing to see him." He Yan needed to get the message across.
Jiang Shiyu snorted coldly, his eyes darkening: "Now anyone can see me?"
As the president of Guangyi, he has always been a behind-the-scenes figure, making decisions on all kinds of collaborations, big and small, without ever needing to show his face. He also dislikes showing his face. He only agrees to meet with the other party if the project is going very well.
He Yan's forehead broke out in a cold sweat: "Alright, then I'll just reject the Fang family directly."
"Can."
"There's no need to waste time arguing with them."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shiyu put his phone on silent and was about to put it away when he suddenly paused, opened his camera, flipped the lens, and took a picture of the two of them.
The photo looked like that of a couple deeply in love, the girl nestled affectionately in the boy's arms. Jiang Shiyu was very satisfied with the photo and set it as his chat background with Shen Cen. After doing all this, the sharp, cold aura he had exuded vanished completely.
He looked down at Shen Cen, unable to get enough of her, and didn't feel that time was passing slowly.
It wasn't until the sky began to lighten and the light of dawn gradually rose in the distance that he realized the sun was about to rise, and he gently woke Shen Cen: "Shen Cen, the sun is about to rise."
Shen Cen opened her eyes groggily: "Jiang Shiyu, I had a dream."
"What dream?" Jiang Shiyu seemed very interested.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Cen slowly said, "I dreamt that we got divorced."
Jiang Shiyu: "..."
He reached out and gave Shen Cen's nose a hard flick, with a hint of punishment: "You're dreaming about divorce? But I'm sorry to tell you, Ms. Shen, don't even think about it."
He added, "Don't even think about it in your dreams."
Shen Cen snorted and corrected, "It was you who mentioned it in the dream, not me."
Jiang Shiyu flicked her nose again: "That's even more impossible."
A smile spread across Shen Cen's eyes, curving them into beautiful crescents. She wrapped her arms around the man, and the two nestled close together.
"Jiang Shiyu, may I ask you a question?"
"What?"
When did you start liking me?
“Chen Cen,” Jiang Shiyu lowered his head and kissed the woman’s forehead, “earlier than you thought.”
As dawn broke, the sky gradually turned crimson, and the sea followed suit. A crack appeared on the horizon, widening until the rising sun, carrying new life and hope, painted the most beautiful picture in the endless sky.
"Hey there, miss, sir, want me to take a picture of you together?" asked a girl carrying a camera. "It's free, you can keep it as a souvenir."
Shen Cen nodded and asked Jiang Shiyu for his opinion, which Jiang Shiyu naturally agreed to.
The girl instructed the two on their movements: "Girl, put your arms around boy's neck, stretch your arms out, and boy, move your hands down a little. Okay!"
She pressed the shutter, looked back at the photo, and was very satisfied.
"How about we make our next move a little more intimate, like a kiss?" the girl suggested.
"Wouldn't a kiss be okay..." Before Shen Cen could finish speaking, the man's kiss landed on her lips.
The kiss was soft and light, almost elusive, brimming with tenderness. Unlike the passionate kisses they share when they are alone, this kind of kiss didn't seem strange in this romantic setting. Instead, it added a unique atmosphere to the scene.
Before leaving, the female photographer made a point of adding Shen Cen's contact information and quickly sent him the photos.
Chen Cen flipped through the photos one by one. In the pictures, the red sun rose from the sea, seagulls soared across the sky, and the silhouettes of two people were in the center, either embracing or kissing... The female photographer was very good at taking pictures; every one of them was so beautiful that it could be used as wallpaper.
Shen Cen sent the photo to Jiang Shiyu, when suddenly the question the man had asked some time ago echoed in her ears.
Now she has the answer.
"Jiang Shiyu".
"Let's get married before the first snow of the year, okay?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Shiyu's eyes, and his voice trembled slightly: "Okay."
He took Shen Cen's hand in his and squeezed it gently, his gesture incredibly tender: "Shen Cen, I will definitely give you the grandest wedding in the world."
He would give her the best of everything in the world.
The people watching the sunrise on the beach gradually dispersed, and the two walked together towards "Orange Bay". Along the way, they happened to see some people taking wedding photos, and Shen Cen couldn't help but glance at them a few more times.
"Want to take wedding photos here?" Jiang Shiyu saw through Shen Cen's idea at a glance.
Shen Cen lowered his head shyly and gave a soft "hmm".
"Don't be shy." Jiang Shiyu stopped, pulled the woman closer, and hugged her. "If there's anything you want to do in the future, just tell me, and I'll agree to it."
Tears welled up in Shen Cen's eyes instantly, sparkling like stars: "Jiang Shiyu..."
Jiang Shiyu wiped away her tears: "These are all things I should do."
These words seemed to trigger Shen Cen's tear ducts, and tears streamed down her face. Jiang Shiyu lowered his head and kissed away all of Shen Cen's tears. "Baby, don't cry, or I'll think I've bullied you."
Shen Cen laughed out loud at his words, then wiped away her tears: "But we only have three days left before we return to Jingjia, will we still have time to film?"
This was not a problem for Jiang Shiyu at all: "We can shoot in the afternoon. We can shoot two sets on Xingwan Island first, and then shoot a few more sets after we return to Jingjia."
Jiang Shiyu kept his word. At noon, several top-of-the-line wedding dresses were delivered to "Orange Bay". From the fabric to the workmanship, they were all the best, extremely luxurious, and so beautiful that Shen Cen couldn't take her eyes off them. Even Aunt Feng kept praising them: "Oh my, Miss Shen will look so beautiful in these wedding dresses!"
Several makeup artists arrived soon after.
The groom doesn't need much time for makeup and hair anyway, and Jiang Shiyu is naturally good-looking, so he doesn't need much embellishment. Therefore, he was done in no time, and he couldn't help but go to the room where Chen Cen was getting her makeup done.
Shen Cen had already changed into her wedding dress. Jiang Shiyu had already guessed that Shen Cen would look beautiful in a wedding dress, but when he actually opened the door and saw her, he was still utterly stunned and stood there for a long time.
He didn't come to his senses until a tear fell onto the back of his hand, and he realized that his nose was sore.
He composed himself and went into the room.
"How about it? Wasn't my judgment good?" Jiang Shiyu raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Cen.
Shen Cen's smiling eyes narrowed, and he nodded: "I like it very much."
He added at the end, "Boss Jiang is handsome even like this."
"Is this the only way to look cool?"
"Okay, okay, Mr. Jiang is always handsome."
Xingwan Island boasts some of the best natural scenery in China, and given the couple's already outstanding looks, they looked stunning in every photo. Therefore, the wedding photos were all taken before evening. That evening, the photographer sent the professionally edited digital photos to Jiang Shiyu's email address.
Shen Cen had just finished showering and returned to her room when she saw the photos had been sent. She snuggled into bed and looked at them with Jiang Shiyu.
"Pass this to me."
"I want this one too."
...
Jiang Shiyu chuckled, "Chen Cen, I'll send them all to you."
He exported the photos and sent them to Shen Cen, also saving a copy on his own phone. He chose the most intimate photo of the two of them to use as his phone's wallpaper.
Shen Cen saved the photo, then turned to Jiang Shiyu and said, "I want to post it on my WeChat Moments."
Jiang Shiyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll send one too."
Shen Cen selected a few photos and posted them on her WeChat Moments.
The first photo was taken by Jiang Shiyu after he taught her how to mix drinks; it's definitely from a boyfriend's perspective.
The second photo was taken on her birthday when Jiang Shiyu came downstairs to get the cake. It was a picture of the gift he gave her, which she really liked.
The third and fourth photos were taken this morning while we were watching the sunrise; the female photographer helped me take them.
The last five photos were taken in the afternoon.
When refreshed again, Jiang Shiyu's post on WeChat Moments appeared at the top.
He also posted nine pictures with the caption: "Finally won over the girl I like."
