Chapter Thirty-Nine
About twenty minutes ago, Liang Yuheng picked up his phone after finishing processing the documents.
He originally wanted to ask Shi Qing what time she would get off work that night, but he accidentally saw Luo Luo's post on WeChat Moments saying that Xinyue Pilates was temporarily closed.
Liang Yuheng wasn't sure if it was as he suspected, so he made a voice call to Luo Luo to confirm.
It was indeed about Zhao Xiaoxue's matter, and the timing was about what he had expected.
Since the client he was supposed to meet today wasn't particularly important, Liang Yuheng sent the company's vice president instead.
Fearing that Shi Qing would be affected, he immediately went to the store to look for her, but to his surprise, he found her gone.
He had just seen Shi Qing sitting alone on a bench, staring blankly at her surroundings, looking heartbreaking.
A sense of guilt flashed through Liang Yuheng's mind.
Upon seeing the person in front of her, Shi Qing looked surprised: "How did you know something happened at our store?"
"Telepathy".
Liang Yuheng touched his nose without making a sound.
Seeing him talking nonsense with such a straight face, Shi Qing couldn't help but laugh: "Why can't I sense you?"
Liang Yuheng looked at her and said, "It means you don't care about me enough."
"..."
Liang Yuheng took her hand: "Would you like to take a walk?"
"good."
This was, in fact, the first time they had ever walked hand in hand so peacefully.
This park was built a long time ago, and there is a row of ginkgo trees along the roadside. When a breeze blows, the golden leaves fall to the ground.
Liang Yuheng tilted his head and asked, "Why are you here alone?"
"It's rare for me to get off work so early, I wanted to enjoy the scenery." Shi Qing gazed at the gradually yellowing leaves on the trees in the distance.
For the past six months, she has had only one day off a week. She gets off work very late every day, and on her days off, she always has various plans and doesn't have time to stop and appreciate the scenery around her.
Before we knew it, autumn had arrived again, and more than half of the year had passed.
"Are you in a bad mood?" Liang Yuheng couldn't help but ask when he saw her expression was indifferent.
Shi Qing pursed her lips slightly: "Not really, it's just a bit stuffy."
Liang Yuheng: "What's wrong? Is it related to work?"
"Yes. I'm thinking, if this shop can't stay open, should we continue in this line of work, or find a more stable job?" Shi Qing was inevitably influenced by the discussion Luo Luo and the others had seen in the group chat today.
Liang Yuheng looked at her: "What do you like to do?"
Shi Qing thought for a moment: "If I don't consider other factors, I would like to continue working as a Pilates instructor. But many shops close down after a while, and the rest time is a bit late. I want to find a job that can balance work and life."
Liang Yuheng nodded: "I also think that you get off work late, so we can't have dinner together every day."
Shi Qing: "So I'm torn between joining a company and finding one with regular working hours so I don't have to change jobs so often."
What did you do before?
“I worked at a bank for a year, and the pressure was too much during that time, and my health wasn’t good either. Later, I came into contact with Pilates, and my physical condition gradually improved. I also really liked it, so I enrolled in an instructor training course.”
Liang Yuheng stopped and looked down at her: "If you want to come to the company, you can come to Keyu."
Shi Qing studied finance at a prestigious university, and the bank she joined was one of the top banks. Although she only had a bachelor's degree, it wasn't entirely impossible for her to get into Keyu with her abilities.
However, deep down she doesn't really like dealing with numbers.
It was Zhang Mei and the others who insisted that she choose this major.
Shi Qing was touched, but still joked, "What, are you going to give me special treatment?"
Liang Yuheng glanced at her and continued walking forward: "How can this be called opening the back door? You are the future boss's wife."
Shi Qing smiled and said, "That's true."
"If you want to continue being a coach, I can open a shop for you. Just remember to leave work whenever you want."
"That sounds good too. Suddenly I feel like I can just relax and enjoy life." Shi Qing's eyes sparkled, her voice carrying a hint of excitement.
Liang Yuheng smiled and said, "Of course. If you want to be with Zhou Han every day, you can do nothing at all."
"Although I sometimes envy Hanhan, I still have to work." Shi Qing felt that she was not suited to be a full-time housewife. Even if Liang Yuheng was able to support her, she hoped to have her own career because that was her source of confidence.
Liang Yuheng said earnestly, "Yes, I agree with your point of view. I will support whatever you do."
Hearing him say that, Shi Qing felt less anxious and smiled gently: "I'll think about the work matter some more."
"Hmm, no rush," Liang Yuheng asked. "Didn't you just say you wanted to see the scenery? Do you want to come with me on a business trip?"
Shi Qing asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"
"The project in Haishi is nearing completion, and I need to go there to inspect it."
When are you planning to go?
Liang Yuheng: "How about tomorrow?"
Shi Qing: "Huh? That's too fast!"
"Want to go?"
"Yes," Shi Qing nodded honestly.
Liang Yuheng smiled and said, "Then let's book for tomorrow."
"good."
The plan was thus finalized.
Shi Qing's initially low spirits were lifted by the excitement of this spontaneous trip.
When Shi Qing was packing her suitcase that evening, she made a point of checking the temperature over there.
It's still over 30 degrees Celsius, so she picked out a few summer clothes.
Liang Yuheng arranged the airfare and hotel, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
Shi Qing has only traveled a handful of times since she was a child. She can only recall that she went to places around Beijing with her friends during summer vacation in college.
This was not only her first time visiting Haishi, but also her most relaxing trip yet.
The next afternoon, upon arriving at the hotel, Shi Qing was immediately captivated by the scene before her.
I'm very lucky today; the weather is great.
As far as the eye can see, there is only the azure sea, so beautiful it feels unreal.
The villa's floor-to-ceiling windows face the boundless sea view, and the beach and the sea are just a short distance away when you open the door.
Shi Qing couldn't help but exclaim, "Aheng, you're so beautiful!"
"If you like this house, we'll reserve it for you in the future." Liang Yuheng put his suitcase away.
Shi Qing asked in surprise, "What? This is the project you were talking about?"
"No, that's on another island. It's just been renovated and can't be lived in yet." Liang Yuheng pointed outside. "We gave Zhou Han a unit in the building next door before. You can come over together later."
Shi Qing was delighted to hear this: "Then let's keep this house for ourselves, and we can come back again in the winter."
"Okay." Liang Yuheng sat down on the sofa and pulled Shi Qing into his arms. "Want to take a nap?"
Shi Qing looked him straight in the eye: "Are you going to work today?"
"I'm not working these two days, I'll spend time with you."
"Huh? You're not asking me to go on a business trip with you."
"If I hadn't said that, would you have come over?"
How do you understand me so well?
Liang Yuheng: "Sometimes your thoughts are written all over your face."
Shi Qing said "Oh," without denying it: "By the way, what are our plans for this afternoon?"
Liang Yuheng: "I'll take you to ride a jet ski later. When you're tired, we can take a walk on the beach, have dinner, and then come back to rest. What do you think?"
Shi Qing expressed her satisfaction: "Then I'll change my clothes, and we'll go."
"I'll change too." Liang Yuheng gave her a light kiss on the lips.
They lived not far from the dock; it only took them a few minutes to walk there.
It's the off-season for tourism now, so there are very few people at the beach, and you don't have to queue to ride jet skis.
Liang Yuheng chartered a car, and the two of them could play as much as they wanted without time restrictions.
Shi Qing saw tourists sitting next to her, and it looked like a roller coaster. She was instantly terrified.
"Aheng, how about I take the speedboat over there? The jet ski doesn't seem to suit me." Shi Qing smiled and pointed to the speedboat next to her.
Liang Yuheng chuckled and said, "It's nothing, it's not that scary."
Shi Qing eagerly stretched out her hand: "Look, my palms are sweaty."
"I'll drive slower," Liang Yuheng said, but he didn't budge.
Shi Qing initially thought it was her master driving, but upon hearing the voice, she opened her mouth wide: "A motorboat? You can drive one?!"
“This isn’t difficult.” Liang Yuheng raised an eyebrow.
Shi Qing: "What other surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
“There should be quite a few. You’ll find them slowly.” Liang Yuheng pretended to think for a moment, quite proudly.
"..."
When Shi Qing heard that Liang Yuheng was driving, she felt a little relieved: "You must drive slowly, I can't swim."
"Don't worry, how could I bear to let you fall into the sea?" Liang Yuheng put a life jacket on her.
Shi Qing still couldn't help but remind him, "Let's try it first. If I'm really scared, put me down."
“Okay.” Liang Yuheng helped Shi Qing sit down before sitting in front of him.
As soon as she sat down, Shi Qing felt the jet ski swaying back and forth on the sea, making her feel very uneasy.
There is a sense of fear that arises from being lifted off the ground.
Soon, Liang Yuheng started the engine, and the motorboat shot off like a giant beast.
Even though she wasn't driving as fast as the driver next to her, Shi Qing still felt uncomfortable and kept her eyes tightly closed.
"Hold on tight, we're starting to accelerate," Liang Yuheng said to the person behind him.
What acceleration?!
This is already quite fast!
As soon as Liang Yuheng finished speaking, he turned the throttle, and the motorboat flew out like a sharp sword, splashing up a long white wave behind it.
The sudden weightlessness and the suffocating feeling from the speed terrified Shi Qing, who screamed and clung tightly to Liang Yuheng's waist: "Ah! Slow down!"
"Aheng, that's too fast!"
Slow down!
"I can't take it anymore! I'm so scared!"
...
The more Shi Qing called out to Liang Yuheng, the more excited he became, showing no sign of stopping.
Only now did she truly understand the meaning of the saying, "Once you're on a pirate ship, you can't get off."
We just agreed to go slowly!
Shi Qing cried out in a trembling voice, "Liang Yuheng! I'm going to get angry if you don't slow down! Ahhh!"
“Call me ‘husband’ and I’ll slow down.” Liang Yuheng seemed to be enjoying himself, showing no sign of being embarrassed.
Shi Qing never expected him to take advantage of her misfortune.
No wonder they made her sit on this weird thing!
Shi Qing glanced at the motorboat next to her unintentionally; it had already been left far behind by Liang Yuheng.
I should never have ridden in Liang Yuheng's car, even if you beat me to death.
At that moment, another huge wave crashed in, lifting the entire motorboat into the air before crashing back down.
"Husband," Shi Qing called out in embarrassment, only to find that Liang Yuheng hadn't slowed down. "Still fast! You broke your promise—ah!"
Liang Yuheng turned around, a smile on his lips: "It was too noisy, I didn't hear you!"
"..."
"Husband!" Shi Qing took a breath and shouted angrily, "Did you hear me?!"
"It's alright." Liang Yuheng was finally satisfied and slowly reduced the speed.
The world returned to calm. Shi Qing suddenly collapsed against his back, her heart pounding. She gasped and muttered, "Liang Yuheng, you liar."
Liang Yuheng laughed so hard his chest trembled slightly: "How does it feel? Exciting, isn't it?"
Shi Qing belatedly realized that she felt really good after shouting, and her whole heart felt more open.
So this was the real reason Liang Yuheng brought her to ride the jet ski.
"Stimulate."
"Want to try again?"
"want."
This time, having learned from her previous experience, Shi Qing knew she wouldn't fall into the water and wasn't as nervous.
She was completely immersed in it, experiencing a crazy pleasure she had never felt before, and venting all her frustrations.
The two played on the jet ski for almost an hour, and after leaving the pier, they began to stroll along the beach.
Looking at the endless coastline, Shi Qing felt incredibly small.
Enjoying the beautiful scenery makes one feel much more relaxed.
The two slowly strolled to a small island. Shi Qing had seen online that the sunset on this island was beautiful.
They weren't in a rush; they planned to wander around the island and then sit on the grass waiting for the sun to set.
After walking around the island for more than half an hour, Shi Qing finally felt tired and sat down on the grass.
Liang Yuheng was completely unpretentious and sat down next to her.
Facing you is the intoxicatingly blue sea, and under your feet is the emerald green grass. When the moist sea breeze blows, your whole body unconsciously relaxes.
Around 5 p.m., more and more people came to the island to watch the sunset, and a few people were also live-streaming singing on the grass.
As sunset painted the sky and sea orange, the sunlight scattered shimmering gold across the water, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
A refreshing sea breeze accompanied by melodious singing—everything was just right.
Shi Qing turned her head and looked at the person beside her.
Liang Yuheng propped himself up with one hand on the ground and the other on his knee, lazily gazing at the distant sea.
The sea breeze lifted the stray hairs on his forehead, making him look like he was coated with a filter, so captivating that it was impossible to look away.
At that moment, Shi Qing's heart inexplicably began to race.
“Aheng”.
Liang Yuheng turned his head to look at her: "Hmm?"
"I want to kiss you." Shi Qing leaned forward, and a gust of wind lifted her hair.
After saying that, she pressed her lips to his.
This time, Shi Qing wanted to take the initiative.
Liang Yuheng was slightly taken aback at first, then quickly closed his eyes.
Shi Qing tried to kiss him more deeply, mimicking how he had kissed her before, but she wasn't very skilled and was afraid of being seen, so she pulled away after a while.
But Liang Yuheng didn't let her go. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips again.
Shi Qing tilted her head back and hugged his neck in response.
They shared a sweet kiss on the beach as the sun set and the sun shone golden.
