Xia Aya held the shells and sat down on the ground. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the sea, and the distant coastline was coated with a layer of beautiful light.
Tang Xuyao also sat down, put his arms around her body, and let her head rest lightly on his shoulder.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, quiet and beautiful.
Xia Haiyou's memory suddenly went back to many years ago. She remembered that her parents told her a story when she was a child, a story about shells.
"There was once a couple who were very loving. But one day, the man offended the woman because he did something wrong. The woman was very sad and angry, and vowed never to forgive him unless he could find a bright red heart-shaped shell."
"In order to get a woman's forgiveness, a man travels to the ends of the earth looking for shells like this."
"Year after year passed, the man was exhausted from walking, but could not find it anywhere. He couldn't help but cry at the beach. The kind-hearted sea fairy sympathized with him very much and used her scales to create a red...
The shell was given to him."
"The man gets the shell and gets the woman's forgiveness, and then they get back together and are happy until they grow old."
Xia Haiyu told the whole story and didn't speak for a long time. She remembered that she was very happy when her parents told this story for the first time, and then she yelled that she would marry such a man in the future, holding a red heart in her hand.
The shape of a shell is like a heart. When a man gives his heart, there will be no forgiveness in the world!
The innocent thoughts of girlhood, naive, but romantic.
When she grew up, she thought it was just a story, but she never thought that one day she would actually pick up such a shell!
After Tang Xuyao finished listening to the story, he didn't speak for a long time, but his eyes were a little dark.
The two of them cuddled up and thought about a question at the same time: what should they do after leaving the Maldives?!
There are too many problems in reality. Even if they no longer have any bad blood between them, he is now in charge of Tang Sheng. Unless he is on a business trip throughout the year, it is difficult to schedule a holiday to go to the United States. Her life in San Francisco has been stable.
She has a job, a starfish, and now a baby. It is impossible for her to return to China to be with him. She can face him, but she cannot face the Tang family. They are in the same city.
He was from a well-known family, so if she wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, she couldn't.
In addition, if they get married now, let alone whether she is willing or not, Mr. Tang will be strongly opposed to it. Even if Tang Xuyao can insist on his own way, I am afraid that Mr. Tang will find other ways to obstruct it. By then, their lives will not be turned upside down.
If it is overturned, there will never be peace.
It seemed that the most feasible way was for Tang Xuyao to leave Tang Sheng and return to San Francisco, but she knew that this was not possible. Even if she didn't ask, she vaguely knew that there was a purpose for him to return to China to take over Tang Sheng this time. As for what purpose it was.
She didn't know, but she felt that he seemed to be doing it for her.
Terminating everything now is never a good idea!
The only choice in front of me is to just fall in love and not get married.
Tang Xuyao hugged her tightly and spoke slowly, with a hoarse voice, "Alocasia..."
"Yes." This was the first time he called her name in such a tone, with love, pain, cherishment, reluctance, and too many complicated emotions.
"Will you wait for me?!" Give him some time, and he will give her the most complete life and let her happily be his bride, without any compromise or concession in her heart.
His gentle questions were like a warm breeze blowing, making people intoxicated.
Suddenly, there was a very soft and subtle sourness on the tip of her heart. Little by little, it spread. Along with the sourness, there was also a hint of sweetness, only a hint, but it was enough.
"Okay." She nodded vigorously, she believed him!
"Okay, let's work hard together!" He looked into the depths of her eyes, and she responded with a smile.
It turns out that the most beautiful words in this world are not "I love you", but "I'm waiting for you."
At this moment, the future days are spinning in an instant.
◎◎◎
The whole fifty days of sweet vacation passed by in a flash.
No matter how beautiful it is, no matter how reluctant you are to let go, it will eventually end.
On the last night, Xia Haitao had just put the baby to sleep when Tang Xuyao pulled her into bed.
On the big bed, it was carefully decorated, with bright flowers arranged in a beautiful heart shape. She was lying in a sea of flowers, her long and silky hair spread out, her watery eyes widened, her pink lips slightly parted, and she looked delicate and charming.
The flowers made her skin more crystal clear and beautiful, and the air was filled with sweet scent. At this time, she looked incredibly beautiful.
He leaned down, his face less than three centimeters away from hers, and his deep phoenix eyes were burning with scorching flames.
Her breathing became faster and her temperature increased.
"What... do you want to do?!" Xia Haiyu asked nervously, although she herself felt like an idiot after asking this question.
"What do you think?!" His fingers moved up and down the tie around her waist, and the flames in his eyes grew hotter and hotter.
Xia Haiyu was almost burning up when he looked at her. She swallowed hard, then closed her eyes. Her heart rate accelerated to the nth power. She was both looking forward to it and also afraid. After all, this was her first time with him after giving birth.
He is like this.
The waltz of night has just begun...
◎◎◎
The next morning, a plane took off slowly from Male Airport. Xia Haiyu held her baby and sat on the window seat, looking at the increasingly smaller scenery outside the window, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
These fifty days are as beautiful as a dream.
She loves the trees here, the sea here, and all the sweet memories here.
When she woke up in the morning, Tang Xuyao had disappeared, leaving only a note next to her pillow with only three words on it - Xia Shujing.
He named the baby Crystal, crystal-clear love, crystal-eternal love.
Life in San Francisco is not much different from before, but it is actually different.
In her life, there is one more daughter and one more waiting...
