A post was edited by Moments for a long time, and Ruan Zhiyin clicked to send under Cheng Yuelin's gaze.

After posting the Moments, he didn't want to read other people's replies, but silently gave her a thumbs-up.

Then packed the biscuits bags on the table in a good mood, and went to the bathroom to take a bath leisurely.

It's clear that there is a jet lag, it's early morning in China

But before long, the circle of friends still has a lot of likes.

In the WeChat group, Ye Yanchu also sent a message immediately.

[@阮芷音, this friend, didn't you tell me that you were entangled a few hours ago? What is your circle of friends now? ]

Thinking of the state of mind in the evening, Ruan Zhiyin couldn't help but feel more embarrassed. She pursed her lower lip and typed with a smile—

[Probably, life will be a little unexpected. ]

For example, Cheng Yuelin confessed unexpectedly.

Ye Yanchu: [So? ]

Ruan Zhiyin: [It should be regarded as, I got it. ]

Although it was him who confessed, the result was always the same. Speaking of it, the two are falling in love as they are married, and there seems to be an extra layer of protection between each other.

This feeling is kind of... wonderful.

Gu Linlang: [What are you, is it possible that you have changed your life? At the funeral, I felt that something was wrong with Cheng Yuelin, wouldn't he have premeditated? ]

Seeing this news, Ruan Zhiyin frowned and fell into thought.

She didn't even prepare for the change of the bridegroom. Of course, it could not be Cheng Yuelin's premeditated plan.

But afterwards...

While thinking, the patter of water in the bathroom stopped.

As soon as Cheng Yuelin came out of the bath, she saw Ruan Zhiyin raising her head and looking at herself quietly, looking thoughtful.

"What's wrong?"

He raised his hand, wiped the slightly moist and fine short hair with a thick towel, and then turned his head to look at her.

Ruan Zhiyin paused slightly and shook his head: "It's okay."

It was just a sudden guess, and if I asked now, it seemed that I was suspicious of him.

Putting down her mind, she smiled at the man: "Today you go to bed and sleep."

He is tall, nestled on a squat sofa, and his long legs can't straighten out. How can he sleep well.

Cheng Yuelin's eyelids drooped slightly and glanced at him: "Are you trying to squeeze me?"

Although he floated for a second in secret, he didn't think Ruan Zhiyin's words were a meaningful invitation.

Ruan Zhiyin pursed her lower lip: "I sleep on the sofa."

When the words fell, facing the man's quiet eyes, she couldn't help but explain: "Nothing else, I just...I'm afraid that if I don't sleep well, I will disturb you."

Ruan Zhiyin feels light. Ye Yanchu always went to the apartment to live with her on weekends. Once she noticed someone around her in her sleep, she would wake up in the middle of the night.

She has also seen a psychiatrist, and the other party said that it may be a stress response formed when she was abducted when she was young, so that she would always be subconscious when she slept.

Especially in the unfamiliar environment of the hotel.

It was better when I was in the orphanage. Even if I woke up occasionally, I would go to sleep again soon. But after returning to Ruan's house, even if he slept alone, he often opened his eyes until dawn.

Ruan Zhiyin often feels that he is a person with insufficient personality. Some of her conscious flaws, even Gu Linlang Ye Yanchu didn't know.

Thinking of this, she whispered: "I'm sorry."

She didn't really want to show her flaws that are different from others, but she didn't want him to misunderstand anything.

Cheng Yuelin got up and walked over, rubbing her head with a sigh: "Fool, why do you apologize to me?"

"The sofa is good, and it's not that I haven't slept before. I'm a big man. It doesn't matter where I sleep. Well, you go to the bedroom, go to bed early, and leave the island tomorrow."

In words, it is a nonchalant attitude.

Ruan Zhiyin took a sigh of relief, paused for a while, and nodded to the bedroom without arguing.

After two steps, she suddenly turned her head and shouted: "A Lin."

"Um?"

"Good night."

Cheng Yuelin smiled: "Good night."

...

Simple good night, but it makes people feel good about it.

After taking a shower, Ruan Zhiyin lay down on the bed, looked at the direction of the door again, then covered it with a thin quilt and closed his eyes.

I don't know if it was because experienced intense emotional ups and downs in an unfamiliar environment.

This night, Ruan Zhiyin had the same dream she had always had when she was young.

The narrow trunk is completely dark. Her small body was squeezed in the sultry surroundings, her head dizzy.

I don't know how long it took, but he was picked up in a daze and handed over to another person.

The strange smell on the other party made her struggle subconsciously. But the short arm has no strength at all and can only be fastened in the arms of a person.

The unfamiliar mountain road gave her some fear for no reason. She stretched out her hand, trying to grasp something, and then dragged it to a section of the tree trunk nearby.

Smelling the familiar smell of pine wood, Ruan Zhiyin's frowning eyebrows spread out, and gradually relaxed, but did not let go of that clenched hand.

Cheng Yuelin lowered his eyes in silence, caught a glimpse of the hand she was holding on tightly, smiled helplessly, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the other hand.

——

The next day, the sky was getting brighter, and sunlight poured into the room.

On the soft bed, the woman still hugged the man's arm tightly, and the two cuddled together intimately.

Two seagulls flew up from the distant coast, circling several spiral tracks in the blue sky, and stopped on the open-air balcony railing facing the sea. After a few calls, both flew away from the balcony.

But it woke Ruan Zhiyin.

She rubbed her eyes, opened a gap, and was shaken by the strong sunlight outside the window.

It was only when came back to senses that realized what was wrong.

Turning his head in a daze, the man's familiar and handsome profile appeared enlarged in front of his eyes, his eyelids closed, his eyebrows stretched, and his usual cold posture was removed.

Ruan Zhiyin didn't know why Cheng Yuelin appeared on the bed in the bedroom, but the situation right now was that she herself actually held the man's arm tightly.

One hand was still pressed by the other party, and she tried to calm her down, moved cautiously, trying to withdraw the arm that was holding him.

One click, two clicks, three clicks.

Just before it was over, the man's long eyelashes suddenly trembled, and then slowly opened his dark and deep eyes.

Directly met Ruan Zhiyin's sight.

Cheng Yuelin glanced at her movements and smiled clearly: "What? I said that I can't sleep well. When I get into my dream, I can't wait to hug me?"

Yesterday just wanted to see how she slept, but was caught. Fearing to have a meeting to wake Ruan Zhiyin, she had to let her go, no wonder he was this time.

Ruan Zhiyin was a little guilty of being stared at by the man, after all, she did say this seriously.

The dream of last night has long since dissipated. She looked down at the hand holding his arm, her eyebrows frowned, and she was surprised that she actually slept with his arm until now.

"Probably, you are the exception." Ruan Zhiyin frowned and murmured again, "I might like you too much, so even in a dream, I don't want to let go?"

Her expression became more serious.

I like you so much.

Cheng Yuelin raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, pinched his head and tasted it repeatedly, the corners of his lips curled up with a shallow arc, and then asked quietly: "Oh? What awkwardness did you make the other day?"

What he asked was Ruan Zhiyin's evasive attitude in the previous few days, even if the show had already happened, he still had to understand why she was like this.

"Who told you to say that you have a first love?" Ruan Zhiyin murmured, then lowered his eyes and hesitated to explain, "I'm just because I'm afraid you might be stimulated to marry me. I don't want to cause you trouble."

She once saw a child who was surly and reticent was adopted, and soon he was sent back to the orphanage by the adopter in the name of "too troublesome".

I have also seen the old man who often sends fruits to the children in the orphanage in the orchard next door. After being picked up by his son who went to the big city, he was sent back by his daughter-in-law in the name of ‘trouble’.

Trouble is often the beginning of estrangement from others, and she doesn't want to cause trouble to others.

Cheng Yuelin looked at her with a dazed expression, stretched out her curled index finger, gently slid over the tip of her nose, and said warmly: "Ruan Ting, did I say that you don't need to be perfect. In front of me, whether you are happy or angry. , You don’t have to suppress your emotions."

She doesn't want to cause trouble to others, and always regulates herself with perfect rules. He always hopes that she can be presumptuous.

There was seriousness in the man's deep eyes close at hand, as if he had seen the bottom of her heart.

Ruan Zhiyin was startled slightly, pondered for a moment, and then chuckled lightly: "Perhaps I am afraid...too many shortcomings will make people close to me disgusted."

"In your eyes, there is no fault in me?" Cheng Yuelin asked her with a smile.

Ruan Zhiyin was stunned, but after all he could not go too far, he hesitated and returned: "Actually... there are still some."

"Since I also have shortcomings, will you still resent me because of my shortcomings?"

Ruan Zhiyin shook his head gently.

She is used to getting along with Cheng Yuelin naturally, and his so-called shortcomings have already been accepted by her.

Cheng Yuelin patted her head and raised her eyebrows casually: "So, even if you lose your temper presumptuously, I won't find it bothersome. What's the matter, can't I still spoil your little temper?"

He is willing to spoil her temper.

Ruan Zhiyin's eyes suddenly became a little sour in this silly tone, but don't know why.

After a moment of silence, she whispered: "Well, I seem to be very happy now."

He said that if you have emotions, you should tell him.

"Huh? What are you happy about?"

Ruan Zhiyin thought for a while before organizing words to describe her mood: "It feels like, I have been looking forward to a piece of cake for a long time. Originally I just wanted to taste a small bite, but you directly gave me a whole piece. Then he told me. Me, these are all mine, you gave me."

There is someone who wants to give her all the beauty and preciousness.

"Alin, you seem to be better than I thought."

To give her a sense of fortunate satisfaction.

Suddenly receiving some compliments, Cheng Yuelin chuckled lightly, curled her lower lip cynically, and said in a clear voice: "I didn't say it a long time ago, you are very discerning."

He took her slender fingertips, played with it twice with great interest, and then patted her: "Well, get up, I will leave the island later."

——

The two of them are going to a small island off the main island.

There is an apron in the backyard of the hotel. After eating something casually in the restaurant, the two of them boarded the helicopter waiting there and went to the island dozens of nautical miles away.

The entire island is a coral reef, and the seaside has raised the foundation to build a splendid and luxurious villa. In addition, a yacht is docked on the beach in front of the villa.

The villa is backed by the mountain, empty and quiet, it looks like a private island.

Cheng Yuelin led Ruan Zhiyin into the villa, let her stand in the living room and wait for a while, and then got two sets of snorkeling equipment from nowhere.

Ruan Zhiyin reached out and took it, and asked casually, "Is there no one else here?"

"Oh, the island was photographed by Bai Bo before. But there are only empty houses here, which is inconvenient to live in, so it is better to stay on the main island."

Listening to the man's tone, buying an island is as casual as buying a house.

Ruan Zhiyin paused, and said euphemistically: "Do you know that your tone now is very similar to the Versailles that everyone often says."

"Versailles?"

"It's the potential to show off."

Cheng Yuelin raised his eyebrows lightly, and then said slightly, "This island is also the common property of our husband and wife. Ruan Tingyi, you can take it as well. My show off is to tie you up with money."

Ruan Zhiyin opened his mouth, as if suddenly understood that he had deliberately not signed the pre-marriage property agreement, and smiled non-committal.

I feel better.

The two changed into diving suits at the villa and stepped on the beach with diving shoes.

The scorching sun shines on the soft and delicate beach, which looks like it is covered with a fine layer of gold. The water nearby is not too deep, it is very clear, and suitable for snorkeling.

Cheng Yuelin helped her fix the mask and asked: "Have you ever snorkeled before?"

Ruan Zhiyin nodded. She had snorkeled several times before. The water here is not deep. As long as she doesn't dive far, she should be able to cope.

The gesture of ‘I can’ was generous, but Ruan Zhiyin did not expect that his snorkeling trip lasted less than half an hour and had to return to the shore.

Back to the villa in a hurry, Cheng Yuelin looked at her flushed cheeks and frowned: "There is no sunburn cream here. Go back first."

Even if the man didn't taunt her, Ruan Zhiyin was a little embarrassed because of the sudden sunburn.

It is very comfortable when snorkeling, but considering that it is not easy to apply sunscreen near the coral reef. don't know whether to blame the water on the island for being too clear. In less than half an hour, she blushed, and she was a little itchy.

Fortunately, the helicopter and the ensuing pilot had been waiting on the apron on the island without leaving, and soon carried the two back to the hotel on the main island.

She hadn't dived for too long, and the sunburn was not serious.

After returning to the room, the hotel waiter intimately delivered medicinal ointment. Ruan Zhiyin applied it to the reddish skin, but it faded quickly.

However, her white arm was accidentally scratched by her. It seemed that she could not enter the water for the past two days to avoid infection of the wound.

"It seems a pity."

Ruan Zhiyin looked at the red mark on his arm with regret. It came to the sea, but couldn't get into the water.

Seeing her seemingly frustrated, Cheng Yuelin smiled, and asked indifferently: "I just came back, and the beach outside looked very lively, go and have a look?"

I don't know if the locals are too enthusiastic. Today, there will be a local festival on the beach in front of the hotel, and guests from the hotel are invited to join it.

Just now Ruan Zhiyin and Cheng Yuelin came back. The waiter who greeted them with a sightseeing bus smiled and showed their white teeth. The general offered an invitation to the two of them, but they were too enthusiastic to refuse.

Ruan Zhiyin thought for a while, he couldn't go into the water anyway, it should be good to experience the local etiquette, so he nodded.

The two changed their clothes and went to the lively beach.

The chairs placed in twos and threes on the beach were all full of people. There were foreign tourists as well as local people who specially came to participate in festivals.

They found a place to sit down, and there was someone standing in front of them dancing on a rock, and the crowd cheered one after another.

The waiter stepped forward and handed them two bowls of wine in coconut shells, which were warmly recommended as local characteristics.

Half of the coconut shell contained gray wine.

Ruan Zhiyin took a sip, the taste was very weak, but the tip of his tongue was a little tingling. It looks like muddy water, but it has a spicy stamina to drink.

It is a taste that is not easy to accept.

She pursed her lips and frowned, turned her head and looked at Cheng Yuelin, but the other party drank so much that she didn't change her color, and there was no drop left.

Upon seeing this, Ruan Zhiyin couldn't help asking: "Do you like to drink?"

"I don't like it." Cheng Yuelin looked at her sideways, finished speaking in a low voice, and then said, "Do you want me to change my face in front of so many people?"

Although he doesn't like it, he still needs face.

The price of pride is to face and suffer.

Ruan Zhiyin smiled and handed him the bowl of wine in his hand: "Is this bowl for you too?"

She really couldn't accept the taste, but she was kindly given it, so it's not good not to drink it.

The man glanced at her, reluctantly took it, and drank a few times.

After a pause, he narrowed his eyebrows and said: "Well, I'll go to the bathroom first."

After speaking, Cheng Yuelin got up and walked away.

Ruan Zhiyin felt that his back was eager.

She seemed to have succeeded in a prank, smiled and shook her head, and continued to watch the lively performance on the beach.

After a while, his vision was blocked by a figure that suddenly appeared.

Ruan Zhiyin looked up, and the boy in front of him was a bit familiar. It was the person he met at the bar yesterday.

After thinking about it, the other party should also be a tourist. It is not surprising to come here to watch the festival ceremony.

Taking a look at the empty seat beside Ruan Zhiyin, Shen You took the lead: "Sister, I saw you just separated yesterday when you left the door. It doesn't feel like a couple."

The implication is that when Ruan Zhiyin was in the bar, he deliberately sent him through Cheng Yuelin.

Out of the bar yesterday, Ruan Zhiyin was indeed a few steps behind because he was thinking about something in his heart and followed Cheng Yuelin.

"What do you want to say?" she asked with a frown.

Shen You smiled: "I was there when you were shopping at the Root Carving Store yesterday. My name is Shen You and I just want to make friends with you."

Yesterday she finished the selection of root carving, and gave the elderly root carving master a very good tip in a gentle voice.

He hadn't seen such a gentle girl yet, and when he met him, he really wanted to know each other.

Ruan Zhiyin raised his eyes, his gaze crossed Shen You in front of him, and fell on the man with deep eyes behind him.

Shen You also seemed to be aware of something, frowning and turning his head, seeing the man who had a relationship yesterday, opened his mouth: "You..."

He thought that the two were just meeting together.

Ruan Zhiyin stood up and took Cheng Yuelin's hand. Perceiving his faint unhappiness, he paused, soothing that he put a kiss on the man's tough side face.

Then he looked at Shen You: "You misunderstood, he is indeed my husband. We just had an awkward relationship yesterday."

If you don't leave again, I'm afraid you will be awkward again.

There was silence for a while.

Cheng Yuelin looked down at her, then glanced at Shen You, and said lightly, "The husband and wife are awkward, it's fun. Why, this gentleman doesn't seem to understand?"

When the words fell, he raised his eyebrows again: "If you don't understand, it's okay. When you get married, you will understand. But don't worry about other people's objects. Are you right?"

The man looked very serious, but only Ruan Zhiyin knew that when he spoke, his fingertips gently scratched her palms in a punitive manner, and the rubbing of his skin made it itch.

But she wanted to pretend to be fine.

After being ridiculed for a while, Shen You's face was not so good, he paused, and turned to leave.

Ruan Zhiyin turned his head to look at Cheng Yuelin, sighed and smiled: "Alin, why are you so jealous."

The two sat back to where they were just now.

Cheng Yuelin pursed her lower lip and frowned slightly.

After a long silence, he glanced at her and asked quietly, "You hate this?"

Ruan Zhiyin was stunned, and then he realized that he was asking if he hated him to be jealous.

She thought about it carefully, and shook her head slightly: "In fact, it's not annoying."

After a pause, he explained, "Probably because I think you are jealous because you care about me?"

If he is calm at this kind of moment and has no emotion at all, it doesn't seem to be that happy either.

Who knows she just finished speaking, Cheng Yuelin suddenly looked at her and smiled: "Then you are wrong."

Without waiting for Ruan Zhiyin to ask, the man raised his eyebrows leisurely and embraced her and said, "If I learn to be magnanimous not to be jealous, would I just not care about you?"

Looking at her arrogant posture, Ruan Zhiyin couldn't hold back it, and chuckled as she nestled in his neck.

——

On the beach, the festival performance ends.

It was late, and the crowds dispersed.

Cheng Yuelin led her to get up, but was not ready to go back to the hotel, saying that he would take her to another place.

When he went out just now, Ruan Zhiyin wore a pair of flat shoes with exposed feet. Walking on the beach at this time, a lot of sand has been put into the shoes.

The sand on the beach is a bit damp, but it is not easy to clean up, and it is a bit uncomfortable to stick to the feet.

When Cheng Yuelin saw her slow down, she turned her head and asked: "Walking with your back?"

Although it was a question, the man had already bowed his body when he spoke.

The sea is silent, only the sound of waves advancing and retreating.

There was no one around, Ruan Zhiyin didn't tweak any more, and put his arms around the man's neck.

"where are we going?"

"I'll know when you get there."

Ruan Zhiyin was suspicious, kind of mysterious?

Cheng Yuelin walked with her on his back for more than ten minutes, and did not let her go after leaving the beach, and finally reached a slightly higher mountain.

Looking down from here, you can overlook the night view of the island.

But what surprised Ruan Zhiyin was the scene in front of him when he was put down by the man.

The surroundings were carefully arranged, and the ground was filled with dots of candles and flowers, leaving a narrow path. At the end, a swing surrounded by flower vines stood quietly.

Cheng Yuelin led her to the swing.

"What are you?" She looked back at him.

As soon as the voice fell, a few hoots came

Suddenly colorful fireworks rose in the dim sky, and the bright colors bloomed in the sky. The dazzling fireworks filled the black curtain, blurred and dreamy, unending for a long time.

In a trance, the man's deep and mellow voice came: "Here is a gift for Buddha."

Ruan Zhiyin turned his head and saw Cheng Yuelin handing over a wooden box, the red paint on the corners had been knocked off a lot, it looked very old.

She opened it in a daze, and inside the box was a pocket watch that was somewhat old, something she was familiar with.

When the pen writing on the inner lid of the wooden box was clearly visible, Ruan Zhiyin's eyes were moistened and tears condensed.

[Yinyin, I can't accompany you on your birthday this time, but Grandpa hopes you will be happy in the future. ]

After returning to Ruan's house, Grandpa would always ask Uncle Liu to give her a bowl of longevity noodles on her birthday. In those years abroad, grandpa would also call her on her birthday.

Now that Grandpa is gone, Cheng Yuelin gave her this gift in this form.

Somehow, the gap in my heart seemed to be filled quietly. The parting that had made her a little regretful at first seemed to have been fulfilled a lot.

"Ruan Tingyi, happy birthday."

She heard his voice in the burst of fireworks.

Seeing the tears in the corner of her eyes, Cheng Yuelin took out a handkerchief and wiped her.

"Well, I prepared these to confess, but now it's—"

Stopped before finishing talking.

He paused and whispered: "Do you like it?"

Ruan Zhiyin smiled and put his head on his shoulder, silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Fireworks are beautiful, but I care more about Grandpa's gift than this one. Thank you."

Cheng Yuelin raised his eyebrows lightly: "But I heard people say that this is romantic, don't you like these more?"

Ruan Zhiyin raised his eyes to look at him, realizing that he was really bad at these, but still clumsily trying to create some romance for her.

Then thought of what he said yesterday, always learning to be a good husband.

She breathed a sigh of relief, hugged him with some strength, shook her head, and muttered: "If you insist, I prefer to be with you."

Whether it’s travel or romance.

She might prefer to stay at home with him.

Maybe it's eating a meal together at home, or watching TV on the sofa for a while, or maybe standing by and watching him change a light bulb.

It's just these small things that will make her feel that she has a long-awaited home.

Under the curtain of night, her eyes were shining with gleaming light and soft emotions, and her charming face was very moving.

Cheng Yuelin's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his voice was low

"Ruan Ting Ting."

"Um?"

"I'm going to kiss you."

"Then you... kiss."
