No matter how reluctant Xing Yan was to leave, the orchestra still set off to Europe.
He couldn’t follow her personally, but he followed her most of the time. He video-recorded with Jiang Rui every night. Because of the time difference, it happened to be early morning in China, while it was night in Europe. Several times Jiang Rui saw the person on the other end of the phone who greeted her with a sleepy face.
By the time she returned to China, it was already the end of September. Jiang Rui was on the plane at four o’clock in the afternoon, when he had a meeting with important clients, so he couldn’t get away.
Jiang Rui said that she would take a taxi back, but he refused to agree and asked Xiao Lin to pick her up.
After Xiao Lin picked up the person, the car did not go to the city but to the suburbs. “Miss Shen, the boss and the client are at the golf course. He asked me to pick up Miss Shen.”
“Thank you.” Jiang Rui nodded.
The further away from the city, the more beautiful the natural landscape becomes. This season, the maple trees have begun to turn red, and clusters of fiery red maple leaves are embedded in the mountains, like wisps of jumping flames.
Ginkgo trees are planted on both sides of the road, and the fan-like ginkgo leaves are turning from green to yellow, falling to the ground to form a golden carpet. She saw an orchard with orange trees hanging like small lanterns.
The car had already driven far away from the city, but there was no sign of the golf course. Xiao Lin drove the car and glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time, lest Miss Shen would become impatient. But, she kept tilting her head to look out the window as if there was beautiful scenery outside.
Finally, when the car turned around a mountain wall, the view suddenly widened, and the noisy sound of waves rang in the ears. What appeared in front of her was a vast bay. The setting sun shone on the sea, and the water was sparkling and golden.
“Miss Shen, we’re here.” Xiao Lin parked the car at a small road intersection.
“Thank you.” Jiang Rui got out of the car and stood by the road for a while looking at the deep blue sea.
When she turned her head to look at the mountain behind her, she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. She saw that on the mountainside, facing the sea, there was a courtyard filled with roses.
The blooming period of the rose is about to end. It stands to reason that they are already showing signs of decline, but this sea of flowers is in full bloom. They were originally attached to the courtyard wall, but now they have become a natural flower wall.
She turned back to see Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin pointed to the path with a smile and mouthed “The boss is inside”.
Jiang Rui stepped onto the path. There was only a narrow path with stone steps. Both sides were covered with unknown small flowers and grass and red maple trees. The maple leaves fell on the ground, like petals covering the ground.
The courtyard looked a bit old, with ivy covering the walls, wisterias twining around the flower stands, and hibiscus blooming beside the pool along with begonias, hibiscus, and albizia trees. None of them are precious flowers and trees, but each one is an extremely bright flower.
Jiang Rui stood next to a swing as if she were in a sea of flowers.
There was rustling movement on the grass behind her. She turned around and saw Xing Yan standing next to a cluster of rose flowers, looking at her quietly and smiling.
Since the two of them started dating, he had rarely been so polite and reserved. When he was not talking, he could really bluff people. He looked mature and handsome, and he looked like a real winner in life.
But he could barely hold his nerve in front of Jiang Rui. Soon, the corners of his smiling mouth became higher and higher, and he could no longer control his reserved steps. He strode toward her, opened his arms, grabbed her at once, picked her up, and spun her around.
“Baby, I miss you so much.”
Jiang Rui wrapped her arms around his neck and lowered her head to look at him. Without even a second glance, Xing Yan lowered her and kissed her.
After kissing until she was breathless, Jiang Rui pressed her forehead against his and asked softly: “Negotiating business with a client? Are you playing golf?”
Xing Yan smiled and said: “They are all lies, just to trick you.”
A shameless person obviously wouldn’t feel anything wrong with being exposed. Jiang Rui shook her head, patted his arm, asked him to let her down, and looked at the yard carefully.
“Do you like it here?” Xing Yan asked behind her.
“I like it. It’s beautiful.” Jiang Rui said honestly.
Xing Yan hugged her from behind and said, “Let’s live here from now on.”
A petal fell on Jiang Rui’s arm. She gently twisted it and smelled it, “Is this yours?”
“No.” Xing Yan turned his head to kiss her. Jiang Rui let him kiss her and then put the flower petals into his mouth. He chewed it for a while and then leaned in to kiss her.
His lips and tongues intertwined until the petals were sucked away, and then she heard him say vaguely: “It’s shared by the two of us.”
After speaking, he laughed and said, “From the first time I saw you, Baby, I began to imagine such a place. I finally found it not long ago.”
“So, you had evil intentions when we first met, but you pretended to be gentle and reserved.” Jiang Rui looked at him sideways.
Xing Yan smiled triumphantly, “How could I have deceived you if I didn’t pretend? Baby, promise me, can we move here to live together in the future?”
Jiang Rui did not answer immediately. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The fragrance of flowers, the vitality of earth, and the smell of waves poured into her nose and lungs at the same time.
She nodded slightly as the waves crashed against the shore, “Okay.”
Xing Yan tightened his arms and kissed her forehead, cheeks, and lips over and over again, “Thank you, Baby, thank you…”
