211: Romance by the Sea (Part 1)

Lin Zifeng woke up around dusk. Seeing Chen Yuxi sleeping soundly, he knew her body wasn't as strong as his, and that the hustle and bustle of organizing their wedding over the past two days had exhausted his delicate bride.

Feeling tender towards her, he didn't want to wake her. Instead, he carefully moved her arms and beautiful legs off his body, cautiously climbed out of the big bed, and tiptoed to the Bathroom.

After enjoying a refreshing shower, he walked into the Kitchen.

The food in the refrigerator was indeed as abundant as the owner had said, enough for the two of them to use for a week.

Lin Zifeng selected a few ingredients, tidied up, and prepared to cook dinner.

In less than an hour, Lin Zifeng skillfully prepared four dishes and a soup. Of course, since there were only two of them, he made smaller portions.

Chen Yuxi woke up just in time. Seeing Lin Zifeng wearing an apron, she hugged his waist from behind.

"Hubby, you're so good. I just woke up hungry, and you've already cooked. Men who can cook are even more handsome."

"According to you, does that mean I'm not handsome when I'm not cooking?"

Lin Zifeng turned around, gently tapped her high-bridged nose with his index finger, and said with a smile.

"No, Hubby. You are the most handsome man in my heart. I just mean that you are even more charming when you're cooking."

"Alright, go wash your hands quickly. Let's eat. Aren't you hungry?"

As he spoke, Lin Zifeng placed his hands on her shoulders and turned her to face the direction of the Bathroom.

Chen Yuxi obediently agreed and walked towards the Bathroom.

Lin Zifeng took off his apron, took two bottles of iced beer from the refrigerator, opened them, and placed them on the dining table.

Chen Yuxi sat opposite him, "Hubby, shall we go out for a stroll after dinner?"

"Sure! We came here for a vacation, we can't just stay in the homestay the whole time! Let's go to the beach later to feel the sea breeze and listen to the sound of the ocean."

Chen Yuxi raised her beer bottle and said with a sweet smile, "Hubby, let's have a drink. Please take care of me for the rest of our lives."

"Wifey, from now on, we are one. Please also take care of me in the future."

The two smiled at each other, clinked their glasses, took a big gulp, and began to eat.

After dinner, they changed into beach shorts and sandals and went out together.

Holding hands, they soon arrived at the beach. Wading through the shallow seawater, Chen Yuxi was as happy as a little girl, playing with the water while spreading her arms as if to embrace the sea breeze, cheering softly.

Getting caught up in the fun, she bent down and splashed seawater at Lin Zifeng. The two started playing, chasing each other and having a great time.

The sea breeze carried their laughter far and wide.

There were many tourists walking along the beach, a large portion of whom were young couples.

After playing for a while, Chen Yuxi grew a bit tired, so they held hands and continued strolling along the shore.

Just then, not far ahead, a group of people was gathered around something, and the sound of a pleasant guitar melody drifted from the crowd.

Lin Zifeng pulled Chen Yuxi over, curious.

Upon arriving, they discovered a young boy playing the guitar and singing a love song affectionately.

Next to the young man, a large heart shape had been arranged with glow sticks. A young girl stood in the middle of the heart, looking at the man singing the love song with deep affection.

Chen Yuxi whispered in his ear, "Hubby, is this a confession? Or a proposal? It's really romantic."

Seeing Chen Yuxi's envious expression, Lin Zifeng smiled and said, "He's singing well. Judging by the girl's eyes, whether it's a confession or a proposal, it will be a success. If you're envious, I'll sing you a song in a while."

"Oh, Hubby, you can sing too?" Chen Yuxi asked curiously.

Hearing Chen Yuxi's question, Lin Zifeng fell into memories of the past. During his university years, he was not only the vice president of the student council but also served as the minister of the Arts Department.

Therefore, he was very proficient in several common musical instruments, with the guitar being his specialty.

His singing ability was also extraordinary, but since he started working and embarked on his official career, these talents had no place to be used.

Seeing Lin Zifeng lost in thought, Chen Yuxi gently nudged him and whispered again, "Hubby, it doesn't matter if you can't sing. It's not your specialty. If you want to sing to me, you can sing just for me after we go back. No matter how you sing, I'll love to listen."

Hearing what Chen Yuxi said, he didn't rush to explain, but nodded and looked into the crowd with her.

At this moment, the song the young man was singing was nearing its end. When the last note faded, Lin Zifeng and the others applauded.

The young man put down the guitar, pressed his palms together to thank the onlookers, then walked to the center of the heart shape to face the girl. He took out a ring, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly, "Xiaojing, I love you! Will you marry me?"

The onlookers applauded rhythmically while shouting, "Marry him! Marry him!" to cheer the young man on.

As everyone hoped, the girl extended her hand. The man placed the ring on her finger. Amidst the cheers and applause of the crowd, the two embraced and kissed, sparking a wave of continuous screams and cheers.

After they pulled apart, they thanked the onlookers. The crowd offered their blessings and began to disperse.

Just then, without telling Chen Yuxi, Lin Zifeng walked over quickly. Chen Yuxi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Lin Zifeng wanted to do, and chose to stay where she was.

Lin Zifeng arrived beside the young man and said in a friendly manner, "My friend, congratulations on your successful proposal, and I wish you and this beautiful lady a lifetime of happiness."

The man said very politely, "Thank you, my friend." Both of them thanked him in unison.

Only then did Lin Zifeng say, "Friend, could I borrow your guitar? Today is the big wedding day for my wife and me. We only arrived here for our vacation this afternoon, and I also want to sing a song to my newlywed wife to express my love for her."

Hearing his words, the young man didn't hesitate at all, picked up the guitar to the side, and handed it to him. The crowd, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks. With more entertainment to watch, how could they leave?

"Happy wedding, my friend! Use the guitar as you like. We'll also share in your joy."

The young man said with a smile as he handed the guitar to Lin Zifeng.

Lin Zifeng took the guitar and said sincerely, "Thank you!"

Meanwhile, Chen Yuxi, standing in the crowd, had an expression that was a mix of nervousness and anticipation. She knew nothing about Lin Zifeng's personal entertainment talents.

Because of Lin Zifeng's profession, he never had the opportunity to showcase them.

That was why Chen Yuxi felt a bit nervous with so many people watching, but at the same time, her heart was filled with happiness.
