He was at the wheel, his eyes fixed on the little woman in front of him, and no matter how long it took for her to forgive him, he would be with her, chasing her, guarding her, loving her.

Chasing the setting sun was just a moment of romance. In the end, the setting sun didn't sink into the sea, and the yacht gradually slowed down until it drifted along with the wind on the surface of the sea.

Ling Qiao walked to the front of the deck and sat beside Shu. "There are many more stars here than in the city. They will be out very soon."

"…" Ye Ci gazed at the boundless sea. She could smell the salty and fishy smell of the sea water after taking a deep breath. She suddenly felt very comfortable. If you keep floating, where will the yacht go? "

Ling Qiao shrugged, "I don't know either. Since I haven't tried, I should still return to the shore."

Shu Shu laid down with her eyes closed, Ling Qiao likewise. The two of them did not speak and just lay there quietly. Their bodies floated along with the sea surface, as if suspended in the air. They did not have to think, they did not have to worry about anything, they were very content.

"ShuShu."

"Hmm?"

"I seldom seem to call you by your name."

"Yes."

"Then I'll call you by your name from now on."

"Yes."

"Is this time all right?" "Tell me the truth!"

"…"

"I know, the same goes for me. After I calmed down, I carefully thought back to many things. She was not the only one who was fighting. Li Changzhi was the Military Advisor, Zhu Yixiang was the General, Sister Zhang, Reporter Zhu and Deng Zijun were all chess pieces. "

Shu Shu quietly listened to Ling Qiao speak. Hearing Li Changzhi and Aunt Zhang's words, she closed her eyes, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

"Three years ago, she gave so much for me because of Ling Bai. I let her down, and after three years, I found out the truth. Because I couldn't be responsible for her, I blamed myself. However, she used this point to scheme against me time and time again. I, foolish enough to fall for it, this is my weakness. I should have been more cautious with her after hearing your words. I shouldn't have been so self-confident. After all that has happened, I've discovered that what I'm still missing is my first love complex from the past, not Tang and Qing. Shu Shu, I no longer feel guilty towards her anymore. She destroyed my family. This is enough to make up for the debt of gratitude I owe her. "

ShuShu opened his eyes to let the sea breeze dry his tears, but things did not turn out as he wished.

Ling Qiao knew that she was crying, but he also knew that she did not want anyone to see her tears, so he kept his eyes closed.

"Shu Shu, today is the happiest and most relaxed day since I separated from you. Sorry, I still forcefully dragged you into my life by selfishness, but I just want you to know that I only love you."

Shushu turned her back on him and couldn't help but sob lightly. She had been suppressing her emotions for too long.

Ling Qiao opened her eyes, gently patting her shoulder with his palm. "Don't cry anymore, just wait a little longer. If you can persevere any longer, I will definitely marry you back home."

On the sea, the night sky was filled with stars, bright and clear.

Ling Qiao looked at the time, and took out two cakes from inside when it was about time. These were all prepared earlier. The cake was not big, only slightly larger than the palm, but it was clearly Shu Shu's favorite flavor. The green tea on the cake was pure and fragrant, and the rich chocolate was very pleasing to the eyes.

"Hungry? "It's 23.50 now, let's eat one first, then it's midnight, then we'll eat the other one."

ShuShu was speechless. "Don't tell me we're not eating dinner because we want to settle these two cakes."

"Yeah, if we can't finish, then we'll pack it up and go back."

"But, don't you hate sweet foods the most?"

Ling Qiao sighed and said: "Life is already so bitter, if I don't eat something sweet, I'm afraid I'll forget the sweet taste."

She smiled and accepted the chocolate cake. "Thank you. I want to eat from today until tomorrow."

"Hehe, that's fine too. The wind here is too strong, so I can't order it. Hurry up and eat it, it's so hot that you'll starve to death."

"You know how to be hungry, too. I thought you didn't."

Ling Qiao looked at her, his mouth full of cakes and his lips stained with chocolate powder. She must have tasted something sweet that made her laugh. He stirred his emotions as tears welled up in his eyes. Following ShuShu's example, he opened his mouth wide and took a bite of the tea cake. It was so sweet, so soft, so greasy. However, he liked it very much.

Shu Shu looked at him wolfing down the food without any sense of beauty and couldn't help laughing out loud. "You're really very hungry."

"Well, I'd like some chocolate."

"No, your mouth is so dirty."

"I'm dirty?" Ling Qiao stuck out her tongue and licked it away before smiling at her. "Aren't you the same yourself?"

Shu Shu immediately realized that she was just like that. She wanted to wipe the cake with her hands, but there was no way she could.

"Hahaha, don't worry about it. Eat, filling your stomach is the way to go."

"Hmm, happy birthday!"

"Thank you," Ling Qiao raised his arm and looked at the time, "It's just midnight, happy birthday."

"Thank you …"

Ling Qiao sent Shu Shu to the door, reluctantly looking at her, "It's very late, so you should go to bed. Tomorrow, I will bring you to surf at 10. You can sleep until 9: 30."

"Yes."

"Ah, and I'm right next door to you. If you can't sleep, or if you're bored, you can look for me. If you have nothing else to do, you can also look for me."

"Yes." Shu Shu nodded her head. She had never felt that Ling Qiao was so long-winded before. Compared to the past, it was as if the two of them had changed roles.

"Also, there are some necessities, such as some clothes, they're all on the bathroom counter."

Shu Shu pursed her lips into a smile. "Ling Qiao, if you keep nagging, we won't need to sleep."

Ling Qiao pulled at his hair, laughing like a little boy, "Hehe, you're right …" Then I'll go and call me if you need me. "He turned and walked a few steps, then turned back and said," You can call me if you want.

"Understood, let's go. I'm going to close the door."

"Good night." he said.

"Mm, good night …"

After closing the door, Shu Shu let out a long breath. She hadn't had so much fun in a long time. She licked her lips a little, as if she could still taste the sweetness. Today was indeed an unforgettable birthday.

She walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Warm water washed over her body, making her feel extremely comfortable. There were many things that she could not control, such as what Ling Qiao wanted to do, such as what Tang Siqing wanted to do, and such as her own heart.

No matter how good her predecessor was, if he was tangled up with her, then he would be Little San. ShuShu had warned Tang Siqing before, and now that she had gotten the upper hand, what was she to do with him?

There were many things that could not be explained. Since she did not know what to do, she would let nature take its course. In any case, she was alone, did not owe anyone, and did not hold anyone back.

After showering, she put on his bathrobe and stood in front of the sink to rummage through the items in his bag. Ling Qiao was really well-prepared and was very careful.

"What is this …" Shocked, ShuShu picked up a waterproof bag. Pu, bathing suit, Ling Qiao even thought of that. How dizzy.

Just then, the phone in her bag vibrated. She quickly took it out and saw that it was a text from Ling Qiao: "Have you finished showering? I'm on the other side of the wall, hee hee. "

Shu Shu could not help but laugh out loud. She imagined Ling Qiao's smiling face and thought that it was too funny. She immediately replied, "So you're still sticking close to the wall and eavesdropping?"

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from the wall, followed by a text message. "So we were so close."

ShuShu typed in a line of text, "No matter how far away you are, as long as you're close." But when she thought about it, she felt that it wasn't right, so she pressed the delete key and deleted one word after another. She directly sent it over, "I'm going to sleep."

"Good night."

ShuShu did not reply, but instead went straight to her bedroom to sleep. Not long after, Ling Qiao's message was sent again, "Why aren't you replying?"

Shu Shu was speechless. She quickly replied, "Good night."

That night, the two of them slept soundly, because their hearts were close to each other's.

The next day, ShuShu and Ling Qiao went to play on the beach. In the shoal area, Ling Qiao waved his hand and encouraged, "Come down, this place is very shallow."

Shu Shu was a completely landlubber. She was scared and timid at the same time. "There are waves. What if they get swept away by the waves?"

"No, look at how everyone is chasing the wave, I'll pull you along." He held out his hand to her.

"But …"

Ling Qiao took two steps towards the shore before grabbing onto her hand. "Don't 'but', come down."

Just like that, Shu Shu allowed him to pull her into the sea. The seawater beneath his feet was ice-cold, and the soft and sticky silt beneath his feet created a crater. However, it was quickly filled.

When the wave came, when Shu Shu wanted to escape, Ling Qiao directly hugged her from behind, hugging her tightly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ah!" It will be washed away. " ShuShu grabbed his arm and shouted with her eyes closed.

"No, believe me," Ling Qiao not only refused to let go, but also carried her into the sea. The sea water had not reached his thighs, and some tourists from deeper inside waved at them to cheer them on, "Shu Shu, look, the little girl even younger than you is down there. What's there to be afraid of?"

Shu Shu reluctantly walked a few steps forward, the seawater had reached her waist, she didn't dare to say anymore, "Then let's do it here, don't go down …" "Ah, the waves are here again, ah!" She screamed.

With a "hua" sound, the waves rolled over and everyone cheered. Ling Qiao hugged the nervous Shu Shu, teasingly saying, "Is this the sound of waves?"

Wave Cry?! Shu Shu immediately became embarrassed. She elbowed him in the chest and said, "I'm afraid it won't do me any good."

"Sure, but I'll definitely protect you."

Soon after, another wave came, the park visitors ran towards the wave, Ling Qiao hugged ShuShu, ShuShu was no longer as scared. As the wave came, the two of them were forced to sway left and right.

Shu Shu would still scream in fear, but her voice was much softer than before. She might have been too embarrassed to shout when she saw the brave little girl beside her.

As the wave receded, Ling Qiao slowly released her and turned her around. Holding his hands, he smiled and said, "This is so romantic."

"Romantic about what? It's cold and scary. Let's go ashore."

Ling Qiao sighed, habitually pinching her nose. "Aren't you usually pretty bold? How did you become so timid when you meet water?"

Shushu pouted and said, "Haven't you noticed that every time I go to the island, I don't play with water? I can't swim and I'm afraid of water. "
