Chapter 279 - Simple Life (1/2)

In the pursuit of a happy and beautiful life, all we need is a simple life. A simple life is the most joyous one and nothing can surpass in beauty.

There was a question Xu Mey once asked Ye Jie, 'How can a person become the happiness for another person?'

Back at their first date, he had replied, 'When a person is able to make a smile appear on the other person's face, that person becomes the happiness for him.'

Today, as she walked barefoot on the beach with his hand intertwined with her own, Xu Mey realized how much reality his words held. 'My happiness is you...' was a phrase she never understood and now, he was the definition of that phrase for her. He was everything she could wish for but the strange fact was that she never actually wished for him.

He was someone she managed to have without even wishing for him.

For Ye Jie, she had become his happiness a long time ago. What he loved about their relationship were these plain moments they got to share with each other. For instance, he loved this particular moment when he could see a radiant smile on her cherry lips as the waves crashed into her feet making her feel giddy.

Jewel blue sea, a clear sky akin to a silk curtain, the soothing sound of the song that sea waves played and in the middle of it all, his hands held hers in a tight grasp as if afraid to lose his treasure. It was truly a blissful and heart-warming moment.

Perhaps these simple moments were the reason someone wrote; 'A simple hello could lead to a million things.'

Xu Mey pulled Ye Jie a bit away from the waves and made him sit down on the sandy beach. After that, she perched herself down between his legs and leaned back into his embrace.

"Why are you smiling?" Xu Mey tilted her head a bit to ask Ye Jie.

"Because I'm happy." He replied in all honesty.

"And why are you so happy?" Xu Mey asked again.
