Chapter 1538: Chapter 1538: The Vow of Loving Till Old Age (Part 2)
Xu Chaomu didn’t expect him to do this. She laughed and willingly jumped up.
“Heavier than before,” Shen Chi said with a curl of his lips.
“It’s all because you fed me too much,” Xu Chaomu hung onto his neck, “You wouldn’t dislike me and abandon me, would you?”
“Besides you, who else could catch my eye?”
Xu Chaomu was delighted. Every word he said made her feel so cherished.
In truth, she felt the same. Besides Shen Chi, who else could she love…
Shen Chi carried her on his back as they both walked along the long seashore.
Behind them were the long footprints and the endless ocean, the golden afterglow, the fluttering white clouds, and the vast world.
“Husband, have you prepared dinner? Is there what I wanted?”
“Isn’t what you want the most me?”
“Can’t you be serious?” Xu Chaomu snorted softly, “Tonight, will you play the piano for me? I haven’t heard you play for a long time…”
“What do you want to hear?”
“You know.”
Shen Chi curled his lips. Yes, he knew.
“Husband, you say I know nothing, so the heavy burden of teaching our son will fall on your shoulders.”
“Rest assured, even if you have a few more, I can teach them well.”
“Annoying, I’m being serious.”
“I’m also being serious, your husband is always a gentleman.”
“Shameless.”
Shen Chi walked very slowly, wanting to carry Xu Chaomu a little longer. He loved this feeling, whether in the past or future.
When they returned to the villa, the sunset had already dipped below the horizon, leaving only the waves shimmering as they crashed onto the shore.
Shen Chi had prepared a candlelight dinner for Xu Chaomu. She was pleasantly surprised when she came over after taking a bath.
She laughed, “Oh, even after all these years together, it’s still so romantic.”
“Don’t like it? If you don’t, we can change it.” Shen Chi teased.
“Annoying.” Clearly, he knew how much she liked it.
Shen Chi looked at Xu Chaomu under the candlelight, she had changed into a pink evening gown that made her look even more like a young princess, the years had left no mark on her face.
Her tousled, soft long hair carried a faint scent of violet perfume.
“Husband, after dinner, let’s watch the moon; you know, that feeling of seeing the moon rising over the sea together, even though we’re miles apart,” Xu Chaomu said with longing and anticipation.
“Sure, if you wake up early tomorrow, I’ll take you to see the sunrise.”
“Okay!” Xu Chaomu happily agreed. Watching the sunrise and sunset with someone she loved was truly wonderful.
No matter how time changes or passes, they still love each other.
Holding hands, never giving up, the promise to grow old together stands.
The sea breeze gently blew, swaying the curtains. The candlelight illuminated their faces. Xu Chaomu looked at Shen Chi, and Shen Chi would look at her.
This fool kept smiling, causing Shen Chi to laugh uncontrollably.
As they ate, the moon slowly rose from the sea, a round moon, pure and bright.
The sea was instantly covered in radiant light, the shimmering waves exceptionally beautiful.
Xu Chaomu was practically full and ran to the railing, watching the bright moon over the sea.
Shen Chi also walked slowly to her side, accompanying her to watch the moon.
“It’s really beautiful,” Xu Chaomu exclaimed at the magnificent scene before her.
“Not as beautiful as you,” Shen Chi said with a smile, for in his eyes, she was the most beautiful scenery.
Xu Chaomu smiled, a faint blush on her face.
At first, they stood side by side, then Xu Chaomu rested on Shen Chi’s shoulder.
Shen Chi wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her in his embrace, his fingers gently caressing her long hair.
The summer night was peaceful, the moonlight hazy, countless words couldn’t compare to the enduring companionship.
That night, Xu Chaomu drank a little, and as she looked at the beautiful scenery, her heart was also intoxicated, submerged.
At some point, she lifted herself on tiptoe and softly kissed Shen Chi’s lips.
Afterward, it wasn’t clear who was kissing whom, the clear moonlight cast over their faces, pure and bright.
The fragrance of her lips made him deeply intoxicated. When the moon reached its peak, he carried her to the living room.
In the living room, there was a piano, and the lamplight cast a faint glow on its lacquered surface.
“Didn’t you want to hear me play?” Shen Chi placed her on the sofa, “I’ll play for you.”
Xu Chaomu’s eyes were full of enchantment. Her large, watery eyes looked at Shen Chi, nodding: “Mm, I just like to watch you play the piano.”
When he played the piano, he was always so elegant and charming, with deep contours, exquisite brows, and a curling lips.
Xu Chaomu reclined half-lying on the sofa, smiling at the person she loved most.
Shen Chi, wearing a white shirt, sat in front of the piano, and soon notes started leaping from his fingertips.
His slender fingers pressed on the keys, the dim light shone on his face, everything seemed like a dream.
Beside his left hand was a large window, the curtains were open, and while Xu Chaomu watched him, she could also see the moonlight and scenery outside the window.
She was willing to be immersed in his tenderness all her life, never waking from the dream.
He played, of course, her favorite piano piece “Summer,” she remembered, he had played it for her many times, she never tired of it.
And indeed, she only liked hearing him play.
This summer night, this summer breeze, this summer melody, all intertwined into a beautiful tapestry, imprinted in her mind.
Sometimes, Xu Chaomu would close her eyes to listen to him play, sometimes, she would open her eyes gently watching him.
The memories of the past played like a movie in her mind, scene by scene…
From their first meeting to knowing each other, from childhood sweethearts to their deep bond and companionship.
She still remembered how she loved to cling to him at first, calling him “Brother Shen Chi,” then again and again, “Brother Four”…
She loved him, and he loved her, and that was enough.
The sound of the piano lingered in her ears, and as she listened, the corners of her mouth lifted into a blissful smile.
She didn’t know when she fell asleep, and Shen Chi helplessly walked to her side, bending down to gently pick her up.
“Falling asleep like this, aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”
Shen Chi carried her, bringing her to the bedroom.
When he laid her on the bed, Xu Chaomu softly murmured, hooking his neck, murmuring: “Husband…”
“Mm, I’m here,” Shen Chi’s voice was as always, deep and sensual.
Xu Chaomu nuzzled against him, blearily opened her eyes, contentedly curled her lips, and quickly fell asleep again.
This time, she held onto him, unwilling to let go.
Shen Chi smiled helplessly and had no choice but to sleep beside her.
Lying next to her, he could clearly see the moonlight outside the window, so pure as water, so clear as the practice ground.
He was not a sentimental person, but this moment, this scene, was forever imprinted deeply in his memory.
He placed a light kiss on her forehead, his fingers running through her long hair, watching her slumber peacefully, calmly.
He was willing to hold her, to accompany her until the end of time.
To others, she might not be the best, but in his eyes, she was the entire world.
In this life, having you is enough.
