Chapter 113 My Wish: To Grow Old with You
Before the person on top of him could even lift his head, Qin Shuzhi excitedly grabbed his hair, pulled his head up, and turned his face upwards.
"Look, the aurora has appeared."
Shi Yuanxing was forced to look up, and what he saw was a dazzling array of lights.
Qin Shuzhi pushed the man away, straightened her torn clothes, sat up and looked up at the dreamlike scene, exclaiming with delight, "I told you the aurora that came so quietly was a pleasant surprise."
Shi Yuanxing, who sat up with her, looked at her excited appearance and didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.
It was a pleasant surprise, and the aurora was indeed beautiful, but... it just came at a bad time.
The dreamlike aurora illuminated the entire night sky, hovering over the rooftops and casting layers of magical light and shadow.
Its colors are so vibrant and lush that it seems to encompass the entire night sky, yet it also seems that what one can see is less than one ten-thousandth of its true size.
The aurora borealis is truly breathtakingly beautiful.
Some say that the aurora borealis is a symbol of happiness, and that two people who have seen the aurora borealis together will stay together for life.
Thinking of this, Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but turn around and look at the man who had somehow wrapped his arms around her from behind.
Shi Yuanxing noticed her movement and turned his gaze to her.
In the instant he looked down, he saw the woman's beautiful face approach, and then she gently placed a kiss on his lips.
The moment their lips touched, Shi Yuanxing's heart suddenly pounded. He was somewhat surprised by her sudden initiative, yet overjoyed.
His gaze fell on her face, his burning eyes slowly moving up from her rosy lips to meet her clear, bright eyes.
Neither of them spoke, but their intertwined gazes were filled with an unspoken tenderness.
A moment later, the man took the initiative. He gently cupped the back of the woman's head with his large hand, lowered his head, and pressed his lips to hers...
Their hot breaths gradually mingled, and Qin Shuzhi tilted her head back in the man's arms, accepting the tender and lingering kiss.
The two embraced and kissed passionately inside the glass house, filling the room with a sweet atmosphere. Even the aurora borealis above the roof swayed and quietly witnessed this romance.
That night, Qin Shuzhi lay in Mr. Shi's arms and watched the aurora borealis for the first time in her life.
That wonderful and exciting feeling made her dreams filled with pink bubbles when she fell asleep.
The next morning, it started snowing outside.
After having breakfast, the two went out and strolled in the snow.
Qin Shuzhi, dressed in a long white winter coat, with a red hat and scarf, walked slowly alongside Shi Yuanxing, who was wearing a long black coat.
The two snow boots made soft, synchronized sounds as they stepped into the snow, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet and peaceful landscape.
Shi Yuanxing stood beside her, talking about the activities and itinerary they had planned for the day, occasionally asking Qin Shuzhi about her wishes and thoughts on the details.
After walking for a while, Shi Yuanxing's phone rang. He glanced at it and said, "It's Li Sheng. I'll take this call."
As he spoke, he pulled Qin Shuzhi to sit down on a stool made from a tree stump.
He was on the phone, and Qin Shuzhi sat beside him, looking up at the swirling snowflakes.
Hearing Shi Yuanxing earnestly explaining something about work, she turned to look at him and caught a glimpse of the snowflakes on his hat and shoulders. She then looked down at the snow on her own shoulders and, for some reason, her heart was touched.
Taking advantage of his inattention, Qin Shuzhi secretly took out her phone, turned on the camera, and held it up, slightly tilting her body and head to make herself and Shi Yuanxing appear in the frame at the same time...
Just before she found the right angle and pressed the shutter,
The man behind her suddenly moved closer, bringing his face, which was half-hidden by a white scarf, close to hers.
With a "click," the image froze.
Qin Shuzhi originally just wanted to take a snapshot, but she didn't expect Mr. Shi to cooperate so enthusiastically after he noticed.
In the photo, the two people, both wearing hats, are cheek to cheek, with their scarves covering half of their faces, but the atmosphere of the photo is still very good.
The girl wore a white dress and a red scarf, her peach blossom eyes sparkling like glass; the man wore a black dress and a white scarf, his starry eyes gleaming with a smile.
The two were surrounded by falling snow, some of which landed on their heads and shoulders.
After Shi Yuanxing finished cooperating, he raised his hand and rubbed Qin Shuzhi's head, his eyes filled with a gentle smile. However, his voice instantly switched to a serious and rigorous state as he handed over work instructions to Li Sheng on the other end of the phone.
Seeing that he had returned his attention to his work, Qin Shuzhi stared at the photo on her phone screen, unable to look away. After a moment, she silently opened her personal social media account, which she hadn't logged into for a long time.
Because of her profession, Qin Shuzhi never posts personal matters on WeChat, except for content related to work and education.
And that social media account was unknown to anyone except a few of his closest friends and family.
This is like a little confessional space for her.
As teachers, the image we present to the public and students should always be sunny, positive, and full of positive energy.
But she is also a person, with her own personal feelings, and emotions such as joy, frustration, or confusion beyond her duties as a teacher.
So occasionally, she would post her thoughts and feelings on this social media account, and sometimes she would also post things related to her life.
For example, now—
She posted a new update on it.
The caption is:
My wish is to grow old with you.
The picture below is this group photo of them.
In the past, when she updated her social media, she mostly posted text, and occasionally posted one or two pictures, which were usually food photos.
This is the first time she has posted a selfie.
And it's a photo of her and her husband.
Although they were dressed warmly in the photos and their faces were not fully visible, people who knew them could recognize them at a glance.
Soon, Qin Shuzhi noticed that three people had viewed this post.
Two comments quickly appeared below.
Qi Yishan: Oh my, what a display of affection! But my darling is indeed beautiful.
The next one is from Qin Zhiheng: Wow, my brother-in-law is so handsome.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Yuanxing saw that the woman next to him had a pair of eyes full of smiles.
"What are you looking at? Why are you so happy?"
Seeing him approach, Qin Shuzhi's heart tightened, and she subconsciously locked her phone and put it away.
She posted this message from the heart, but now that she was facing Shi Yuanxing, she felt a little embarrassed to let him see it.
"When Yi San and Zhi Heng saw the photos, one praised me for being beautiful, and the other praised you for being handsome."
Shi Yuanxing assumed she had sent the photos to them privately, so he jokingly said, "You only compliment us on being a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and they have to put the two of us together to make it a complete compliment?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuzhi chuckled, "Of course."
Shi Yuanxing stood up and extended his hand to her, "Let's go, Mrs. Shi, it's time to begin our sightseeing today."
Qin Shuzhi's eyes lit up with joy, "Okay."
That day, they went to the bustling Santa Claus Village: as night fell, the two of them rode in a reindeer-drawn sleigh and chased the beautiful aurora borealis.
During their five days in Finland, Shi Yuanxing arranged the daily itinerary and activities very reasonably, ensuring that his wife had a happy and enjoyable time without feeling tired.
On their last day in Finland, the couple picked out some local souvenirs as gifts before heading to their next destination, Norway and Sweden.
Both journeys to these two destinations were wonderful in their own way.
During the day, the two would immerse themselves in sightseeing and playing at local scenic spots, and at night they would tirelessly entwine intimately together.
Qin Shuzhi felt that the honeymoon went by very quickly, yet it was also very sweet and long.
It seemed that every minute and every second, Mr. Shi's shadow and presence filled her world.
The two were inseparable.
