Chapter 66 The Lighthouse at the End of the Continent
You Yue paused upon hearing this.
Besides the question about "children," what surprised him was the sound of "A-Yue."
She only called him that once at the beginning, when it was just a casual fling, and never again.
He prefers this nickname, as it represents a deep and genuine intimacy.
Cheng Hexi waited for a while, but didn't hear a reply. She shifted in the man's arms and lifted her chin to look at him.
You Yue lowered his head slightly and met a pair of bright eyes.
The person in his arms had an extremely beautiful jawline. He reached out to gently stroke it, but his hand was grabbed and pressed down.
Cheng Hexi has always been a very insightful person. After confirming her feelings for someone, everything she did showed how much she loved them.
But You Yue didn't expect that she would bring up the matter of the child.
He wondered what he had done to deserve such good fortune and such love.
You Yue's fingers gradually slipped between Cheng Hexi's, intertwining with hers. His movements were gentle, and his tone soft: "Of course I want to have our child."
Even before Cheng Hexi brought it up, he had thought about this question carefully several times.
He wanted to spend his life with his loved one and have children of their own; he couldn't escape the common desire.
Cheng Hexi got his answer, which wasn't unexpected, but she still wanted to ask, "Then how did you..."
Safety measures have always been taken seriously, and this topic has never been brought up.
She could not express her meaning clearly, but You Yue always understood.
"This should be your decision. I didn't know whether you wanted to or not before."
To be precise, You Yue always felt that whether or not to have a child should be Cheng Hexi's wish. He knew it would be hard on her, and mentioning it might put pressure on her.
You Yue knew that she must have thought this through carefully before asking the question today.
Cheng Hexi had indeed thought about it carefully.
She no longer has a life devoid of work like she did in the past; she wants to have a child with Youyue, and that is her life.
Cheng Hexi has always been a very confident person. She believes she has the ability to balance her career and life well. Moreover, now that she has You Yue, she is no longer alone.
“I’ve been thinking about this ever since I saw your childhood photos.” Cheng Hexi smiled, then straddled him, facing him and looking into You Yue’s eyes.
She suddenly became serious and said, "You will be a good father."
At this moment, You Yue knew what she was thinking.
Neither of them came from happy families, but what they lacked, their children can have.
When people are full of love, they want to love more.
You Yue hummed in agreement and said as if making a promise, "Our child will be the happiest child."
He stroked Cheng Hexi's nape, gently kissed her rosy lips, then explored with his tongue, gently prying open her teeth, his tone as gentle as a clear spring: "Let's let nature take its course, baby."
Cheng Hexi got a satisfactory answer, chuckled lightly during the kiss, rubbed against You Gao's high nose bridge, and deliberately said, "Otherwise, you can't rush it."
After that sentence, the kiss took on a different flavor.
The man's gentleness vanished in an instant, replaced by a forceful, conquering attitude.
Cheng Hexi made a soft "mmm" sound as she was kissed. The next moment, their positions suddenly changed, and You Yue pulled her down onto the soft bed.
Through the thin silk fabric, she could clearly feel the heat of the large hand around her waist; it was burning hot.
Passion ignited instantly.
A small portion of the blanket hung over the edge of the bed, and the tablet and pen fell to the floor with a dull thud.
Cheng Hexi noticed and tried to turn her head to look, but You Yue grabbed her chin.
His possessiveness and controlling nature have returned.
Thinking this, Cheng Hexi still willingly hooked her long legs around the man's strong waist, her words revealing no fear: "Didn't we say to let things take their course? Hmm?"
The bathrobes they had just put on were once again stripped off their bodies.
Cheng Hexi's waist trembled slightly as she felt You Yue's hair brush against her shoulder. She heard the man chuckle, his deep, slightly husky voice saying, "Let me try my best, wife."
-
This hotel offers panoramic views of Auckland's iconic Sky Tower and overlooks the harbor, providing stunning views at both sunrise and sunset.
They missed the sunset when they returned to the hotel, and since they stayed up very late last night, they naturally missed the sunrise as well.
When Cheng Hexi woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
She slept very little, but when she woke up in her bed in a foreign land, the familiar temperature and smell beside her made her feel at ease.
You Yue had prepared the car early. Last night on the yacht, they said they would go to bed early and get up early. The next day, they would first go to Devon Harbour to see the sea, and after lunch, they would set off for Cape Reinga, the northernmost point of New Zealand.
Like a college couple in love, they checked the weather forecast and concluded that it was perfect for watching the sunset.
Last night, before going to sleep, she was half asleep when You Yue held her tightly in the bathtub. She had almost no strength left and slept until this time.
You Yue didn't get out of bed either. He was holding his laptop and leaning against the headboard, one hand sliding the touchpad and occasionally tapping the screen, while the other hand was held by Cheng Hexi.
She slept very soundly, and when she opened her eyes, there was even a faint mark pressed into her left cheek.
The curtains were halfway open, and golden sunlight danced and streamed in.
Cheng Hexi knew she had overslept, so she turned over, not feeling particularly regretful. She first asked You Yue, "You're not working, are you?"
Her voice was still a little hoarse, completely losing its clear and bright quality from yesterday.
Thinking of the man's despicable behavior last night, she pursed her lips, glanced at him, and didn't want to say anything more.
You Yue leaned down and kissed her, but she bit his lip, which he didn't seem to mind. He smiled and said, "No."
This is the laptop that Youyue uses most often for work, and the wallpaper has now been changed to a picture of the harbor she took yesterday.
A new folder named "a red emoji heart" has been created in the upper right corner of the main screen. It stands out prominently among the other folders and seems somewhat out of place due to its completely different naming convention.
Cheng Hexi glanced at You Yue, who nodded, indicating that she could look.
So she clicked on it, and it was still a folder inside.
This folder is quite in line with You Yue's usual style; it's called "2025.9 New Zealand Honeymoon".
Inside are all the photos of her from yesterday.
Cheng Hexi thought he was a bit childish, yet she also found his little gestures quite endearing. But she didn't know how to express it, so she avoided the main point and brought up his newly changed wallpaper: "Why did you choose this photo as your wallpaper? I think I have a few photos that look better than this..."
You Yue curled his lips slightly: "It will be changed in a few days."
Changing your computer wallpaper all the time is unlike what You Yue would do.
Seeing her confusion, You Yue said, "We'll change it to wedding photos in a few days."
Cheng Hexi blinked slowly, then leaned against him and laughed for a while.
He wanted to be high-profile, and there was nothing she could do about it.
After laughing, Cheng Hexi still brought up the folder: "Does this subfolder of yours also need to contain '2025.9 Wedding Photos'?"
You Yue played with her finger adorned with a wedding ring, hummed in agreement, and said lazily, "We also need photos of the island wedding in 2026, and photos of our subsequent travels."
"How is it?" he asked.
Cheng Hexi closed her eyes and kissed his chin.
They woke up at this hour. Their plans were disrupted on their first day in New Zealand, but both of them accepted it well.
Honeymoon trips are mainly about the two of you spending time together, so what's the difference between strictly checking off tourist attractions and going to work?
After lingering in bed for a while, Cheng Hexi noticed the time; it was nearly eleven o'clock.
You Yue asked her if she wanted to wander around in the afternoon and postpone the plans for a day. Cheng Hexi thought for a moment and said that she would have lunch first and then drive to Cape Reinga to watch the sunset in the afternoon. If she was lucky, she could catch it.
Good weather is always something you can't always expect.
While they were talking, You Yue's hand had been gently massaging her waist. Hearing her question, he didn't stop and asked, "Are you okay?"
"..." Although her whole body ached, she still glanced at You Yue, got up from his arms, sat on the bed and looked at him for a while, and said, "I am in very good physical condition."
I exercise regularly and rarely get sick.
Although it's not even worth mentioning to him.
You Yue smiled and said "yes" in agreement. She got out of bed, put the slippers that had fallen by the door next to her feet, and washed up with her.
-
The car that You Yue prepared was a very cool black pickup truck, a Ford Raptor.
New Zealand has many mountain roads, so a pickup truck is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
Cheng Hexi had never driven a pickup truck before, and she liked vehicles with high ground clearance, so she was itching to try it out. However, her physical condition allowed her to sit in a car, but not drive. Thinking of this, she glanced at You Yue again.
You Yue knew what Cheng Hexi was thinking, so he came over and kissed her, softly apologizing to her.
After his lips left hers, Cheng Hexi looked up and saw You Yue, who was dressed in a rare khaki trench coat and leather boots, and fell in love with his appearance once again.
She suddenly remembered the time she ran into him at the entrance of "Cloud Pavilion".
At that time, You Yue was polite but distant, and she herself never imagined that he would be so considerate and gentle when he loved her.
After being kissed for a while, Cheng Hexi realized that she was just being coquettish, so she tiptoed and kissed him on the tip of the nose.
You Yue opened the passenger door, grabbed a comfortable cushion from the back seat, and then let her get in the car.
The road trip will involve many mountain roads and curves, and many roads will not have guardrails on both sides. Drivers will need experience driving on mountain roads and with right-hand drive.
You Yue and Cheng Hexi's driving skills are beyond question; they can drive on professional racetracks without any problem.
There weren't many cars heading north, and they traveled smoothly, crossing mountain roads and coastlines, arriving at New Zealand's northernmost point—Cape Reinga—before sunset.
-
Cape Reinga is located at the end of Highway 1, where the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea meet, and a white lighthouse stands at the end of the cliffs along the coast.
This place is known to the Maori as "the closest place to heaven".
They were lucky; the sun was slowly sinking below the horizon, its glow gradually spreading. The last rays of the sun broke through the clouds, illuminating the sea with shimmering light, like a long, golden channel.
At the tranquil end of the continent, the world slowly unfolds before your eyes, with layers of waves crashing against the beach and rocks.
A short while later, most of the sun had sunk into the sea. As the light dimmed, the sea turned a deep blue, stretching to the horizon, with layers of red and gold hues spreading out across the long horizon, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
As the sun rises and sets, and the sky changes color several times, the lighthouse stands steadfastly.
Vast, lonely, and unchanging through the ages.
Cheng Hexi felt that all the sounds around her had disappeared, and only the hand holding hers was warm and tangible.
You Yue took her hand and walked forward.
He held the camera the whole time, but she forgot to ask for it back.
Amidst such a vast and beautiful landscape, Cheng Hexi didn't even think about taking pictures; she only felt an immense sense of peace within.
She turned her head to look at You Yue, and just then, she saw her own reflection in his affectionate eyes.
As the sun completely sank below the horizon, You Yue opened his trench coat, wrapped Cheng Hexi in his arms, and lowered his eyes to kiss her lips.
At this very moment, at the edge of the continent, she heard You Yue's voice, mingled with the sound of their kiss, say, "I love you."
