Miss you
Woo—woo—woo!
The short and shrill sound of the ship's horn interrupted what Xia Tangyue was about to say.
A small cruise ship slowly docked at the shore. A dark-skinned young man jumped off the ship, put a rope on the speedboat that had run out of fuel, and then came towards them.
After seeing Wen Zheng's appearance clearly, he was slightly surprised: "Brother Zheng, why is it you?"
Then he scratched his head embarrassedly: "If you had told me you were here earlier, the brothers would have definitely come early in the morning."
Wen Zheng didn't respond. The dark-skinned man looked at Xia Tangyue again, and uttered "oh" in sudden realization, as if he understood something. He winked at Wen Zheng in an ambiguous way, then ran back to the boat, leaving space for the two of them.
There were many tourists on the second deck of the cruise ship. They were curious about why the ship suddenly stopped here and they all leaned out to see what was going on.
Xia Tangyue climbed up the ladder to the first floor of the cruise ship.
This place was set up as a place to provide meals for tourists, and tea was placed on the table. It was past mealtime, and there were not many people on the first floor. She stood on the deck, leaning against the railing to enjoy the breeze.
Wen Zheng followed behind her and the two stood side by side.
"By the way, what did you want to tell me just now?" he asked.
Xia Tangyue pursed her lips awkwardly.
The ambiguous atmosphere just now had long disappeared without a trace. When she recalled what happened just now, she just felt embarrassed, so she said, "I forgot what I wanted to say."
Wen Zheng didn't dwell on it. After the cruise ship circled the sea, it returned to the dock again. He drove Xia Tangyue back to the B&B and asked on the way:
"You said you like excitement, how about going skydiving over the sea together tomorrow?"
After a night of tossing and turning, Xia Tangyue felt a little sleepy. She yawned lightly and when she heard Wen Zheng talking about sea skydiving, her eyes suddenly lit up. After all, she had never done it before and was quite looking forward to it.
"OK."
"Um."
Return to the B&B.
Xia Tangyue took a shower immediately, came out refreshed, opened his notebook and checked his email messages.
Today is Sunday, a day off, and she received only one work email, which was the "Dream Record" activity plan (first draft) submitted to her by the planning team.
Xia Tangyue read it carefully and made some changes to the parts that he thought were not reasonable. He also connected with them and held an online meeting.
This art exhibition is very important to their Zhijian Art Museum. It is the first time they have held such a grand art exhibition, and they will meet with investors on Wednesday to discuss the details. Although the group has approved her plan, she has to carefully control the specific activity plan to make it perfect and strive to get investment from Furen Group next time.
After all the busy work, it was already past eleven o'clock. Just as I was about to go to bed, Wen Zheng sent me a voice message.
"I'll pick you up around 3pm tomorrow afternoon. You don't need to bring anything, just follow me. By the way, it rained today, remember to take a hot bath and rest early to avoid catching a cold. Good night."
Xia Tangyue lay down in bed and listened to the voice message over and over again three times, just to hear the words "good night".
She typed two words on the screen and replied: "Good night."
"Um."
She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that Wen Zheng's voice in the voice recording was very nice, with the charm of a mature man, which tempted her to keep the voice recording.
She had never done anything like this before. She had always felt indifferent towards all the men who pursued her and had never been moved. Sometimes she even doubted whether she liked men.
Now she realized that it wasn't that she didn't have feelings, it was just that she hadn't met the person she wanted.
Lying on his back on the bed, Xia Tangyue stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.
The ambiguous scene of the uninhabited island flashed by.
She was just about to say it, just a little bit.
Tomorrow is her last day in this small town. She will return to Beijing on Tuesday. She doesn’t know when they will meet again, nor does she know if there will be a chance to meet again.
Are we just going to give up like this?
No - Nana is right, happiness depends on your own efforts. If you say it, then there is still a 50% chance. If you don’t say it, then there is a 100% chance.
No matter what, she will fight for it.
All night long, Xia Tangyue had been thinking over and over again about how to confess her feelings to Wen Zheng, or she was imagining how she would face it and what she would say after Wen Zheng rejected her, and how she would get along with him if he agreed.
The next day came.
Xia Tangyue slept until noon. Around three o'clock in the afternoon, she changed into a Chanel miniskirt and went out. She also put on full makeup and looked very pretty.
Wen Zheng was already waiting. He was sitting on the sofa in a black suit, his strong chest muscles made the clothes draw a smooth arc, and the fabric was tightly attached to his angular waistline, which was looming with his breathing.
He stared at Xia Tangyue for a long time.
Xia Tangyue looked at his outfit suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Zheng picked up a black backpack beside him and handed it to her: "You need to change your clothes."
Xia Tangyue wrinkled her nose, somewhat reluctantly, because she wanted to dress beautifully when she confessed her feelings to Wen Zheng. Wen Zheng looked at her face and chuckled, "Be obedient and change your clothes."
In the bag was a set of women's black sportswear, similar in style to the one Wen Zheng was wearing, and some safety ropes with elastic devices.
After she changed her clothes, Wen Zheng carefully explained to her the precautions of skydiving and personally put on the safety equipment for her.
His slender fingers helped her fasten the buckle on her chest, and then he pulled the straps on both sides to test the effect. He lowered his eyes and focused on adjusting the equipment, which made Xia Tangyue hold her breath unconsciously and her heartbeat speeded up.
At this moment, Wen Zheng suddenly raised his head, their noses were only half a fist away, and his warm breath brushed across Xia Tangyue's brows: "Don't hold the emergency pull ring in your palm too tightly, it will strangle you."
"Okay..." Xia Tangyue nodded mechanically, and put on goggles and noise-canceling headphones with his help.
Before she had time to wonder why she had to wear headphones, she heard the rumbling sound of helicopter propellers.
A white helicopter was parked on the lawn not far away.
"Let's go." Wen Zheng brought Xia Tangyue to the front of the plane. The cabin opened and a man holding a camera pointed the lens at her.
"Let me record this unforgettable moment for you," said Wen Zheng.
Xia Tangyue stared at the flashing red light of the camera and tidied her hair uncomfortably. The whirring wind from the propellers messed up her hair.
Wen Zheng entered the cabin first, then reached out his hand to her and pulled her up.
"Don't be nervous." He bent down to help her buckle up her seat belt. "I'll be behind you the whole time."
As he spoke, the faint scent of cedar on his body mixed with the faint smell of engine oil in the cabin lingered around Xia Tangyue's nose.
Wen Zheng tied the equipment to the two of them, and tightly surrounded Xia Tangyue, holding him in his arms.
The helicopter was rising higher and higher. Looking at the shrinking lawn outside the window, Xia Tangyue's heartbeat began to accelerate. At this moment, she suddenly felt a warm and strong support around her waist - it was Wen Zheng's arm around her, bringing an unquestionable sense of security.
"Are you ready?" he asked close to her ear.
Xia Tangyue closed his eyes, then opened them again. The man holding the camera adjusted the position of the camera, and the red light on the lens turned solid.
She nodded heavily.
"Okay, three, two, one!" Wen Zheng's voice sounded beside her ear, and his warm breath brushed across her neck.
The cabin door burst open and a biting wind rushed in instantly.
Before Xia Tangyue could react, she had already fallen into the sea of clouds with Wen Zheng. The moment the feeling of weightlessness swept over her body, she subconsciously grabbed the hand behind her that had always been tightly holding her. The rough touch from the fingertips and the warmth of the palm became her only support at this moment.
Her mind went blank as she floated in the air. The strong feeling of weightlessness was like an invisible giant hand, pulling her down fiercely. The wind whistled in her ears, like thousands of troops galloping past, blowing her cheeks painfully, and her heart seemed to jump out of her chest.
"Ah——" she screamed.
Wen Zheng's deep voice mixed with the sound of the wind came: "Don't be afraid, try to open your eyes and look at this sky that belongs to you."
Xia Tangyue plucked up the courage to open her eyes, and the scene before her shocked her instantly.
The blue sky was endless, the white clouds were within reach, the vast sea sparkled, and the surging waves reflected the light like diamonds. Fear was gradually replaced by amazement and excitement, and a sense of freedom that I had never experienced before surged into my heart, as if I had become a bird that had broken free from its constraints.
All the pressure and worries turned into bubbles and were blown away by the wind under such high-altitude impact.
As the parachute unfolded with a "bang", the violent pulling sensation caused Xia Tangyue to bounce upwards suddenly, and the whole person was instantly suspended in mid-air.
Wen Zheng was behind him, controlling the rope steadily. His warm breath came through his windproof suit: "Relax your body and feel the direction of the wind."
Xia Tangyue took a deep breath, and her tense limbs gradually relaxed. She looked down and saw that the originally vast sea surface now looked like a piece of azure silk, with waves rolling with tiny silver edges, slowly approaching her.
She watched her shadow grow larger and larger on the sparkling sea, and several speedboats were approaching in the distance. When her toes touched the cold sea water, she subconsciously held her breath, and then fell into the sea. The moment the sea water poured into her neck, the life jacket quickly expanded and lifted her out of the water steadily.
Xia Tangyue emerged from the sea, breathing heavily, wiping the water drops off his face, and heard Wen Zheng's chuckle not far away. He was unbuckling the parachute straps, and his black hair was soaked by the sea water and fell on his eyebrows.
Then he pulled her up from the beach on a leash.
Xia Tangyue was soaked, her eyelashes trembling slightly. Her legs were still a little weak, and the shoulder straps of her life jacket left red marks on her neck.
Wen Zheng was sorting the umbrella bag beside her. In the distance, a man was jogging towards them. He seemed to be a cheerleader and handed them clean towels, mineral water, and a black backpack.
Xia Tangyue wiped her face with a towel and planned to drink some water to relax, but her hands were so weak that she couldn't even unscrew the bottle cap. Wen Zheng looked at her, silently took the water, unscrewed it and handed it back to her.
"How do you feel?"
Xia Tangyue took two gulps of water, sat up straight and exhaled deeply: "It's very exciting, too exciting, a very unforgettable experience."
Her voice was slightly hoarse, but it did not conceal the excitement in her tone.
She likes this thrilling feeling, which is like a blazing lightning flashing in her peaceful life. The daily routine of working from nine to five and following the rules is completely shattered the moment she jumps.
Seeing the little girl's high spirits, Wen Zheng smiled silently, stood up and walked to her: "Let's go and change clothes, otherwise you will catch a cold later."
"good."
Xia Tangyue took a shower in the locker room. When she opened the bag that Wen Zheng had given her before he left, she found that the suspender skirt she had taken off had been brought here by him as a change of clothes.
When I came out again, it was dusk.
Wen Zheng, wearing a black T-shirt, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. The fabric showed clear muscle lines on his back.
"Where are we going next?" Xia Tangyue asked behind him.
"Let's eat. Let them keep the Wagyu beef today." Wen Zheng pointed to the sign opposite, which was a Western restaurant.
Then again, after coming to this town for so long, Xia Tangyue had been eating all kinds of seafood, and it was time to change her taste. Beef was her favorite ingredient, and the adventure had whetted her appetite. She usually had a small appetite, but she was full after eating two steaks this time.
After dinner, Wen Zheng suggested going for a walk together to help digest the food.
The two of them strolled along the quiet beach as the evening light gradually sank to the west, the remaining orange slowly fading to the ground.
Xia Tangyue stood on the shore with her hands behind her back, enjoying the breeze. Wen Zheng, who was standing next to her, was a head taller than her, and she had to look up to see his expression.
Some words that were not spoken yesterday were now brewing in her throat.
The sky was clear and the breeze was gentle, the sound of waves was soft in their ears, and the orange-red color of the sky created a warm atmosphere for them.
The right time and the right place.
If you don't say something now, you will never have the chance to say it in the future - Xia Tangyue took a deep breath, scratched his palms nervously with his nails, and swallowed several times before he spoke.
"Mr. Wen."
"Hmm?" Wen Zheng turned around and faced her.
Xia Tangyue clenched his palms and said in one breath: "Actually, I have been secretly paying attention to you. Are you willing to be my boyfriend?"
Wen Zheng was stunned for a moment. After a moment, his dark eyes revealed a hint of cunning and he chuckled.
"Don't you remember me? I'm your cousin."
Xia Tangyue, who had been imagining the scene after the confession last night, never expected such an answer.
It's amazing.
For a moment she even felt as if she had stopped breathing and her brain had shut down.
What is he talking about?
cousin?
What nonsense is he talking about?
Was he drunk or was she drunk?
How could he be her cousin?
When did she get a cousin so handsome, gentle and considerate?
Xia Tangyue asked in a trembling voice: "What are you talking about? What cousin?"
