Chapter 219 - The Vows (1/2)
The orange hues of the sun seemed like a tangerine jelly merging with the sky. The sun hid half of itself under the blanket of the sky as if blushing thinking of how the twilight will soon beckon the stars. Silhouettes of birds appeared on the now magenta sky as they flew back to their homes.
As the last orange rays made her sleeping figure aglow, his lips bore a semblance of a smile at the sight. He enjoyed this feeling of being able to lie next to her and just stare at her milky white skin.
The birds might be flying home outside the window but as he placed a kiss on the space between her brows, he knew that he was really home. He pulled her body closer to himself and said, "I love you, baby. And I also love the feeling of loving you. Oddly, I don't seem to care anymore about what your love does to me." His voice sounded like whispering meadows; serene, mysterious, and most of all beautiful.
Xu Mey stirred a bit in her sleep as his voice fell to her ears. She smiled and tilted her face to look at him. "Jie, what am I to you?" She asked out of the blue in a soft voice.
Ye Jie played with her long locks and smiled beautifully. "You are my weakness." He started making her scowl but he kissed the tip of her nose and added, "But you're also my strength."
"How?" She questioned seemingly very interested in this conversation.
Ye Jie tousled her hair a bit and said, "You're my weakness because I care for you too much. As for being my strength, that's because I love you too much."
Xu Mey stared dumbfoundedly at his face that seemed to be glowing for some odd reason. Then her lips curled upwards as a beautiful smile bloomed on her face. She hugged him tightly as if afraid that he would slip away from her grasp.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" She suddenly remembered as she sat up covering herself with sheets and added, "I have a gift for you."
Ye Jie's brows quirked up in surprise as he listened to her, "I prepared it about a month ago for your birthday but I got tangled up with stuff so much that I completely forgot about your birthday." She was feeling really bad about it.
"Found it!" She managed to pull out a small box out of her jacket which was thrown somewhere earlier and walked back to the bed. She extended the box towards him with a toothy grin.
Ye Jie eyed the box curiously and took it from her. As he opened the box, his brows knitted together.
There was a bracelet set inside the small box. The platinum bracelets had a very simple design of infinity carved on them but what made them special was the words written inside the infinity lines.
