Chapter 134: A Kiss Seals the Vow
Sheng Hanyu used a tissue to help Shi Youxuan wipe the sauce from the corner of her mouth.
"Thank you."
She was accepting Sheng Hanyu's help more and more naturally, not feeling there was anything improper about it.
She would also hold the sizzling, oily meat skewer to his mouth, forcing him to take a bite.
Once he took a bite, he couldn't stop, so what started as her forcing him to eat turned into the two of them fighting over it, no different from an ordinary couple.
Sometimes, when Sheng Hanyu thought of Jian Yixin, he couldn't help but compare the two of them.
Jian Yixin would never come to a place like this; she was the type of woman who sat in high-end restaurants, sipping Lafite while eating steak, or sat in upscale cafes ordering the best hand-ground coffee and eating tiramisu in small bites.
But Shi Youxuan was quite magical.
Even when sitting in an upscale restaurant, she didn't make people feel she was unrefined; a kind of innate nobility radiated from her bones from the inside out.
Yet when she was at the snack street, she didn't feel out of place at all; at these times, she was just like the young girls around her, radiating vitality and energy!
Sheng Hanyu was increasingly attracted to Shi Youxuan, and the number of smiles he had assimilated from her had also increased significantly.
Disney.
The two of them were having a great time inside; once Shi Youxuan entered this place known as the Kingdom of Fairy Tales, she instantly unleashed all her natural instincts.
Not only was she not mocked for skipping and jumping along the road, but strangers even greeted her and struck up conversations with her in a friendly way!
Actually, this was nothing, but Sheng Hanyu was unhappy; he stood beside her with a dark face, his powerful aura of "strangers keep away" scaring all the strangers off.
Shi Youxuan protested: "Sheng Hanyu, don't you think you're being too much?"
He didn't think so.
But he didn't want to spoil the fun at a time like this, so he raised his camera: "Let me take a picture of you? You stand in front of the Castle." Sheng Hanyu cleverly changed the subject in time.
"Okay."
Shi Youxuan stood in front of the Castle, taking photos with people dressed as fairy tale characters, dancing together...
Sheng Hanyu acted as her photographer, capturing one smiling face after another.
She looked so beautiful when she smiled; it wasn't that faint kind of smile, and she never cared about her image—it was that kind of smile from the heart, very beautiful and very infectious.
Sheng Hanyu was infected by her, the corners of his mouth lifting into a nice arc, also smiling.
He didn't know how high the frequency of his smiling had been lately; it was higher than the past thirty years combined!
At the very beginning, when Shi Youxuan saw him smile, she would make a fuss, but later, seeing it more often, she stopped being surprised, and it became a habit.
At noon, the two went to a restaurant to eat.
Seeing the prices on the menu, Sheng Hanyu didn't think much of it, but Shi Youxuan pulled him toward the outside: "Let's not eat here, it doesn't matter if we skip a meal."
"Why?"
Sheng Hanyu looked over the environment here; the environment was quite clean, and although not high-end, it wasn't too bad either. Besides, Shi Youxuan didn't even mind a place like the snack street, so there was no reason for her to mind this.
"It's expensive!" Shi Youxuan leaned close to his ear: "Eighty yuan for a chicken leg, isn't this price gouging? Let's not eat, let's eat together at dinner..."
Sheng Hanyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry; eighty yuan for a chicken leg, this counted as a reason?
Her net worth was in the hundreds of millions; let alone eating a meal here, even buying the entire Disney would not be a problem.
But it was exactly this that made Sheng Hanyu discover another rare and precious merit of hers—not forgetting her original intentions, not vain at all!
"Forget it if you won't eat, but I have to eat, you wait for me here." Sheng Hanyu pressed her into a seat, then went to the window himself to buy chicken leg rice, Mickey Pizza, cola, fries, etc., and brought them back: "Let's eat together."
"But it's so expensive."
Although she could earn money, she never spent it recklessly, and even less did she want to spend money in vain.
Sheng Hanyu pushed most of the food in front of her: "Yeah, it's expensive, but since it's already bought, it's an even bigger pity to waste it if we can't finish it, don't you think?"
What could she think?
Wasting was of course shameful, so she happily ate while complaining about the prices here.
Sheng Hanyu looked at her, his eyes full of doting.
Neither of them noticed that not far away, a pair of eyes was staring fixedly at the two of them, the gaze very complex.
In the evening, the two stood by the water to watch the fireworks show!
The show was wonderful, the fireworks were beautiful, and Shi Youxuan was even more beautiful!
Sheng Hanyu's gaze remained on Shi Youxuan's face the whole time; this girl was pure, innocent, kind, and crafty, possessing both a big-picture view and small-mindedness...
So many different characteristics manifested in the same person, yet it wasn't the least bit discordant.
"Shi Youxuan, let's be in love for a lifetime." Sheng Hanyu said.
"What did you say?"
It was a bit noisy with too many people, so she didn't hear clearly, but the burning gaze in the man's eyes made her feel her face was a little hot.
"I said..."
"Boom—"
A larger firework bloomed in the sky, and a burst of successive cheers erupted from the crowd, completely drowning out Sheng Hanyu's voice; she couldn't hear anything at all.
He suddenly pulled Shi Youxuan into his arms, using a passionate kiss to express everything instead of words!
"Mmph..."
Shi Youxuan suddenly widened her eyes; what was this situation?
Forcing a kiss on her again, how could this man always be so overbearing?
She wanted to push him away, but a burst of enthusiastic applause suddenly erupted all around; it wasn't to celebrate the fireworks, but to cheer for the two of them.
At Disney, such scenes were staged every day; young people who pledged their love here would receive sincere blessings.
Shi Youxuan was frightened; she pushed Sheng Hanyu away hard and turned to run...
Sheng Hanyu chased after her from behind: "Shi Youxuan, I want to be with you for a lifetime."
This time she heard it clearly: be together for a lifetime, a lifetime.
A lifetime is very long, and Sheng Hanyu is not someone who gives promises lightly; he must be sincere, so should she agree?
Shi Youxuan does not know.
She only knows her heart is thumping wildly, and though her mind is a bit chaotic, she is very happy!
Returning to the hotel, when there were only the two of them in the room, Shi Youxuan felt a bit nervous, so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
She had not yet decided whether to agree to him, to be together for a lifetime.
Sheng Hanyu brought up, straight to the point, a matter she had always been avoiding and dared not face: "That night... I'm sorry, I drank too much."
He had actually wanted to apologize all along, but he just couldn't bring himself to lower his pride.
"Swish—"
Shi Youxuan's face turned beet red in an instant, as red as a boiled shrimp.
"Which night? What are you talking about... it's been too long, I don't remember." She knew perfectly well in her heart, knowing full well he was talking about the night the two of them had relations, but she simply refused to admit it.
"I will take responsibility for you." He grabbed her hand.
Shi Youxuan had heard this sentence before; he had said it when the two were in the heat of passion, but at the time, he thought she was Jian Yixin.
The words were the same, but the person he wanted to take responsibility for was not the same one!
"How will you take responsibility for me?" Shi Youxuan blinked her large eyes and gathered the courage to look up at him.
Sheng Hanyu said solemnly: "After Grandfather's first anniversary, we will hold the grandest wedding, and at the wedding, I will make you the happiest bride."
"And then?" Shi Youxuan had just started to imagine it, and suddenly it was gone.
He only said one sentence and that was it, so short?
Does he think he's telling a fairy tale?
Is there nothing after having a grand wedding and becoming a happy bride?
