Chapter 38: 24 hours date (Part 2) (2/2)
“These words are for….”
“It’s a scene where the MC is recalling his past memories.” Suyang took out a notebook and began to scribble down his words.
“Recalling past memories? How is this considered recalling past memories?” But I felt a sigh of relief. Earlier, when he was talking, he sounded like he was going to commit the crime himself.
After Suyang was done jotting down his words, he put his notebook away. “Let’s get out the car now. We can’t remain in the car the whole time.”
The moment we got out, I was surrounded by a stronger sea breeze than I had expected. It was making me very disheveled. After taking a few steps, I felt the soft sand against my feet.
Just as I was about to take off my shoes, Suyang stopped me.
“It is difficult to see the seashells at night. Keep your shoes on to prevent injuries.”
“So, what are we doing now?” I looked around our surroundings. There was only darkness. It didn’t feel romantic at all. In fact, the setting was very horror-like.
“It is currently 3:16am. At approximately 4:50am, we will be able to see the sunrise.” Suyang gazed at his watch.
“So you’re saying we have to stand here for another hour and more?” I glanced to my left. Xu Weishan was crouching next to me as she stared off into the distance. She appeared to be deep in thought.
I sighed, “I don’t care. I’m returning to the car. It is too chilly here.”
“Wait.” Suyang grabbed my hand, “Rather than watching the stars from the tiny sunroof inside the car, why don’t we withstand a bit of wind so we could experience the entire sky instead?”
Out of nowhere, Suyang took out a blanket and spread it across the beach. He sat on it and then patted the spot next to him, “Come here.”
I sat next to him as I shook my head and whined in a pitiful manner, “Is this your idea of a date? No wonder you've never had a girlfriend before. It’s not because you didn’t want one. It’s because you can’t get one. You poor soul….”
Suyang was lying down. He reached and pulled me down with him. He wrapped his arms around my arms. I was tightly protected in his embrace. Suyang had his chin on my head. “You talk too much. Stop talking. Now that we’re cuddling, you’re not cold, right?”
“Mm…” I closed my mouth as I gazed at the sky. The sky appeared so close, it felt incredible. I felt like I could touch it if I reach my hand out.
I breathe in the air. Apart from the salty scent of ocean water, I could also smell Suyang’s lemon scent. The mixture of the scent was messing with my mind.
“Boss...I’m really sleepy….” My eyelids were starting to feel heavy. After all, it was past 3am. Most normal people would be asleep by now.
“From now on, don’t call me boss. During this 24 hours date, we are not in a boss subordinate type of relationship.” Suyang whispered in my ears. “If you’re tired, then take a nap. I’ll wake you up when the sunrise begins.”
Then, he tightened his grip and I felt so much warmer in his embrace.
“Let me sing you a lullaby.” Suyang suddenly suggested.
“Lullaby? Why lullaby…?”
“Isn’t it common for couples to sing to each other? I read it online.” Suyang explained. Before I gave him consent, he began to sing, “Pig…..your nose has two holes…”
I smacked Suyang, “What type of lullaby is this?”
“Stop interrupting. I purposely chose this song for you. You’re ruining the atmosphere.”
“You’re the one ruining the atmosphere!” I couldn’t help but giggle hysterically. I turned over and saw how serious he was. It made me laugh even harder.
“Stop being so funny!”
“Funny?! How?”
I sat up as I touched my warm face, “Because of you, I can’t sleep!”
“If that’s the case, let me teach you something!” Suyang also sat up next to me. “Give me your left hoof.”
“What hoof….?” I felt my mood turning sour, but I still obediently reached out my left hand. I wanted to know what he was going to do. He better not be playing a joke on me.
