Chapter 136: The second time is still so beautiful

Suyang opened his mouth and grinned. “I do remember… you fainted that time! Thinking back, be honest ...were you secretly crushing on me all along and fainted because you were too overly stimulated by our date?”

“Pssh.. in your dreams!” I rolled my eyes at Suyang. Then, I grabbed his collar. “What about you, huh? Why did you decide to write a love novel out of nowhere? Then later on, you gave up so easily… you were the one with ulterior motives, right? Tell the truth! Was it because you wanted to date me, so you used the novel as an excuse to get me on a date?”

“Yup.” Suyang casually replied.

I felt a bit awkward but I couldn’t help but giggle. Ultimately, I had to cover my face and pretend to be shy. I punched Suyang lightly on the shoulder. “Oh you… how could you admit it so quickly! I am shy, you know?”

I was positive that Suyang shivered after hearing my words. He was staring and muttering at the ceiling. “Did you lose your IQ after you switched souls? How could you become so foolish and naive all of a sudden? Goldfish, you must conduct yourself well. Don’t take a wrong step in life…”

“What did you say?” I threw away my fried chicken thigh and aggressively pinched Suyang’s face.

“Yo! Yo!” Suyang was yelling. (tl: He’s saying “oil” in Mandarin. The pinyin is you but the u is silent so it sounds like yo)

“What yo yo! I can say check it out!!! Are you going to keep smiling so mischievously?” I demanded.

“Hahaha! I’m talking about the oil on your hand! The oil! Cooking oil! Soya bean oil! Peanut oil!?!”

It was then I realized I had touched Suyang’s face without wiping my hands first. Now, his face was all shiny and greasy. It was like he hadn’t washed his face in 20 years.

“Let’s not play around and talk about something serious. I want to continue our 24 hour date!” I helped Suyang wipe the oil on his face as I suggested.

“We’re already a couple. We can go on a date whenever we want!” Suyang smoothly laid down on my leg and closed his eyes in a satisfied manner.

“No, I’m talking about the continuation of our date from that day. It makes me sad to know we never finished it.” I whined to Suyang. Although whining never worked in the past, I wasn’t the type to give up so easily!

Suyang mocked, “You have an injured arm, Warrior Yang. Where would you like to go?”

Since Suyang said I was Warrior Yang, I will act like Warrior Yang. “Gugu, please give permission to Guo’er! These past few days, Guo’er has been home and will turn moldy soon! At this rate, Guo’er will have feathers growing and become a bird!” I made a sullen face to try to gain Suyang’s pity.

“Then where do you want to go? It’s so cold… today, the weather is below 0 celcius…”

“I want to go to the beach; the same place where we went last time.”

“But it’s so cold to go to the waters now! Are you sure you can handle it?” Suyang asked out of concern.

I nodded my head like mad. “It’s fine! I want to go! Take me!”

Suyang lowered his head to think about it. He didn’t completely agree but he couldn’t deal with my whining. “Alright then. We’ll go to the beach. Change your clothes. We’ll go now!”

“Yeah!” I raised my hand in the air. I was still holding onto the tissue that I used to help Suyang wipe his face. Then, I ruthlessly shoved him off me as I hopped to my room to change.

“Wash your hands first!” Hearing Suyang’s command, I took an emergency turn and dragged my injured arm as I went to wash my hands. Then, I changed into suitable clothing.

Since I knew it was freezing out, both Suyang and I wore our thickest down-filled jacket. I also had my hat, scarf, gloves and face mask in my bag just in case. With everything we were bringing, people might assume we were climbing Mount Everest instead.

We took the same route as last time. But this time, I wasn’t asleep the whole ride. Instead, I tried my best to remember everything that was passing by. This was my homeland. I never knew how much the word homeland meant until now.

After an extremely long ride through the highway, I could vaguely see the sparkling ocean from a distance. I was itching to run towards it and experience the winter beauty.

The moment Suyang parked the car in the parking lot, I ran out like a wild horse. Regardless of how many times Suyang called out, I didn’t turn around. I kept running towards the ocean. I didn’t even know why. The only thing I saw was the silver ocean and I wanted to jump right in to forget everything else. I wanted to continue running until I reached the ends of the Earth.

I used up all my strength to run and ended up slipping onto the beach. I fell down very hard.

“Goldfish?” Suyang shouted from behind me. He ran over and crouched down to help me up. “Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Hahaha! No. I am dressed in a very thick layer.” I continued laying on the sand with no intentions of getting up. I was smiling foolishly.

Eventually, I patted the sand off my palms and sat on the ground. I pressed down Suyang’s shoulders to make him sit next to me as well. Then, I placed my head against his shoulder.

“The second time is still so beautiful.” I sighed.

“The ocean looks beautiful regardless of when you see it.” Suyang placed his arm on my shoulder. “Just like you.”
