Chapter 73 Bungee Jumping
The housekeeper said that he didn't want the two to stay any longer, but when it came time to send them off, he still felt reluctant.
This huge manor has always been like a cold castle. It only feels like home when Su Nian comes back.
But the housekeeper also knew very well that Su Nian was like a dandelion lifted by the wind, born to fly to a wider world. This manor with carved beams and painted rafters was ultimately just a temporary harbor for him, not a cage that could trap him.
All he needs to do is to guard this home for Su Nian and wait for the moment when its owner returns.
"Let's go." Su Nian waved to the housekeeper, "I will send you photos." As the car started, Su Nian's voice gradually disappeared at the end of the road.
In the following time, the two officially started their honeymoon trip.
In front of the amusement park castle, the setting sun stretched their shadows. Ling Shen gently cupped Su Nian's face and, amid the crowd's cheers, placed a gentle kiss on her. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, with only the sound of their heartbeats echoing in the air.
Afterwards, they ran after the float like two children for more than an hour. Ling Shen held his hand, and laughter filled the way.
As night fell, fireworks bloomed overhead, the brilliant light reflected on their faces. They smiled and made a heart shape with their hands, capturing the sweetest moment in the camera. Su Nian carefully selected the photos one by one in front of her.
"Still looking at photos?" Ling Shen came out of the shower wrapped in a bath towel, with the fresh scent of shower gel on his body. He saw Su Nian sitting cross-legged on the bed, with his brows furrowed and a look of distress on his face.
Hearing Ling Shen's voice, Su Nian raised her head and waved to him, "Come on, I really can't pick any. I feel like I can't bear to part with any of them."
Ling Shen put his arm around Su Nian's shoulders and said, "Then keep them all. The housekeeper will have new ones made. When we get back, I'll order a lot of photo frames to put all the photos in."
Su Nian laughed and leaned on Ling Shen's shoulder, "How can there be so many places?"
"Yes, I will fill every corner of the house with our photos, so that no matter where you go, you can think of all the time we spent together." Ling Shen looked serious.
Su Nian couldn't help but hold Ling Shen's face and kissed him gently on the forehead, "Silly."
Ling Shen hugged Su Nian, who wanted to retreat, and buried his head deeply in his neck, his breath spraying on the sensitive skin. "Don't provoke me. We still have to go bungee jumping tomorrow. Be careful not to be able to get up." His voice had become hoarse and carried a bit of forbearance.
The warm breath made Su Nian rub against him involuntarily. When she heard Ling Shen's hoarse voice, she couldn't help but curl up a sly smile at the corner of her mouth.
Her hands kept rubbing up and down Ling Shen's back, and through the thin nightgown, she could feel the firm muscles on his back.
Just when Ling Shen was about to lose control, Su Nian suddenly covered herself with the quilt and said in a humming voice with a smile, "Let's go to bed."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and even pretended to snore, his eyelashes fluttering slightly. Ling Shen looked at his empty arms, then at the strange feeling in his body, and shook his head helplessly, but a smile could not be hidden in his eyes.
The sound of water in the bathroom made Su Nian open her eyes. Thinking that Ling Shen had just finished taking a shower, Su Nian suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Well, how about..." Su Nian looked at Ling Shen who was back on the bed, blinking her eyes, with a tentative and meaningful look in her eyes as she looked at Ling Shen.
Just one glance ruined Ling Shen's shower. His Adam's apple rolled, but thinking of tomorrow's schedule, he suppressed his desire and reached out to gently pat Su Nian's back, "Go to sleep, it's okay." His voice was still gentle and soothing.
Su Nian was about to say something, but Ling Shen pulled his hand down and said, "If you don't sleep now, you won't be able to sleep until tomorrow morning."
"I'm asleep." Su Nian suddenly pulled back her hand and closed her eyes, but her honest body still leaned involuntarily in Ling Shen's arms.
Ling Shen smiled and hugged the person tighter, slowly closing his eyes. The room gradually became quiet, with only the long and even breathing sounds of the two people remaining.
On the bungee jumping platform at the edge of the canyon, the first thing that comes into view is the magnificent landscape carved out by time.
The rock walls on both sides are like barriers split by a giant inky axe, extending vertically downward for hundreds of meters. The texture of the rock strata is filled with ochre and gray-brown of varying shades, like a diary written by the earth over billions of years. In some places, there are still a few clusters of stubborn green vines hanging, swaying gently in the wind, adding a bit of vitality to the cold rocks.
Ling Shen and Su Nian were already strapped to their bungee ropes. Standing on the edge, hugging each other, they took in the magnificent sight before them. The sky, narrow and narrow, framed by the canyon, was a clear, azure blue. Occasionally, a few eagles flew by, circling with freedom and wildness.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the rock wall. The stream below is like a silver ribbon, so bright that people can't open their eyes.
Ling Shen hugged Su Nian tightly. At this moment, Su Nian felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She grabbed Ling Shen's clothes on the back with both hands, closed her eyes, and dared not move.
"Don't be afraid." Ling Shen's gentle voice seemed to float in the air. Su Nian tried hard to suppress her fear and slowly opened her eyes.
Her watery eyes met Ling Shen's smiling eyes. For a moment, Su Nian seemed to have forgotten everything. The sound of the wind kept whistling in her ears - the originally vertical rock wall tilted in her field of vision, the green woods flew upwards rapidly, the waves of the stream seemed to bloom right in front of her eyes, and the fresh water vapor seemed to float to the tip of her nose.
"Ling Shen, I love you"
Su Nian shouted out his love loudly. At this moment, all he could feel was Ling Shen's heartbeat and temperature.
Ling Shen laughed out loud, "I love you too."
Even when they stood at the bottom of the canyon, Su Nian's legs were still shaking involuntarily. She leaned completely on Ling Shen, but the smile on her face did not diminish at all.
After the ropes were untied, Su Nian kissed Ling Shen's lips forcefully, like a wild beast gnawing continuously. Ling Shen let Su Nian explore him freely with the passion of surviving a disaster. His palms gently stroked the tips of his ears, which were red with excitement, and his fingertips slowly slid down his back, holding him tighter in his arms.
The wind at the bottom of the canyon, carrying the moisture of the stream and the faint fragrance of the wild flowers on the shore, quietly enveloped the two people hugging each other. The cry of an eagle could be heard faintly in the distance, but it could not disturb the tenderness between their lips and teeth at all.
Su Nian's breathing gradually became rapid, and her fingertips curled slightly on Ling Shen's back, as if she wanted to carve this person's warmth and breath into her bones.
Ling Shen tilted his head slightly, deepening the kiss, responding gently, soothing his remaining trembling with the delicate touch of his lips and teeth.
After a long time, the two slowly separated. Su Nian's lips were moist red, her forehead rested on Ling Shen's chin, her chest was still rising and falling slightly, but her eyes were as bright as the stars above the canyon.
"Are you still scared?" Ling Shen lowered his head, his voice hoarse from having just been kissed, and his fingertips gently rubbed his cheek.
Su Nian shook her head, put her arms around his neck, buried her face in the crook of his neck, greedily inhaling the clean breath from his body: "With you here, I'm not afraid."
The wind blew through the woods, and the leaves rustled, as if whispering a response to this straightforward dependence.
Ling Shen held him in his arms, his eyes fixed on the long, narrow blue sky above the canyon. The sunlight fell right on their intertwined figures, making the love that grew between the vast heaven and earth even warmer and longer-lasting.
