Chapter 55: Luoxia Town (1)

After having breakfast, Anran changed into a comfortable yet casual outfit and headed out with Su Yicheng. Instead of his usual business attire, today, Su Yicheng was wearing a casual trench coat, khaki trousers, and with his slightly ruffled hair, he appeared somewhat like a Korean male idol.

Anran stared at him dazedly before they headed out, and for a while, she couldn’t move or speak.

Seeing her reaction, Su Yicheng asked, “What’s the matter? Is there something wrong?”

Anran shook her head, then finally uttered in awe, “It turns out that my husband is really handsome, indeed.” She said this with a serious and solemn expression on her face, without the slightest hint of joking or teasing.

Su Yicheng was amused by her serious tone and expression. He lowered his head and kissed her seductive red lips for a while. Then, he finally let go of Anran when he thought she was about to lose her breath. Embracing her gently with his hands on her back, he moved his mouth close to her ear and whispered, “I, on the other hand, have always known how beautiful my wife is.”

Anran blushed upon hearing his loving words and felt an inexplicable sensation of sweetness inside herself.

The weather that day was great. The sun was shining, yet the temperature wasn’t too warm. There was a slight breeze, and the feeling of wind blowing on their faces felt soothing.

Su Yicheng didn’t drive and simply walked along the street while holding Anran’s hand. Anran held on to his hand but had no idea where he was going to take her. She turned to ask him, “Where are we going?”

Su Yicheng smiled but didn’t speak. Their apartment was in central downtown and wasn’t that far from the passenger terminal. Only when Su Yicheng led her into the passenger station did Anran realize that they were going on a long journey today.

“Is it far away?” Anran whispered as she looked at the long line in front of them.

Su Yicheng shook his head, “Not far.” After the person in front of them in line left, he stooped down to say into the ticket window, “Two tickets to Luoxia Town, please.”

Luoxia Town was a small town affiliated with Jiang City. The sunset there was particularly beautiful, so it was named Luoxia Town.

In its earliest days, Luoxia Town was known for its particularly developed marine industry. Due to its proximity to the sea, the sun slowly rose above sea level every day, then slowly set again. The evening sky was always red and mixed with golden light to produce sublime scenery. A freelance photography enthusiast had once used a camera to take a photograph of Luoxia Town’s beautiful sunset, and allegedly that photograph won a national competition, which led tourism to flourish in a previously unprosperous area. Many people in the nation travel thousands of miles just to see the blazing sun slowly set against the sea’s horizon.

The journey wasn’t that long and was only about a two-hour-long driving distance. Anran and Su Yicheng sat in the back, and since she hadn’t gotten a good night’s sleep and had gotten up early in the morning, not long after they boarded, Anran quickly fell asleep with her head leaning against Su Yicheng.

Su Yicheng shook his head slightly as he looked at her, then he adjusted his position to allow her to sleep more comfortably.

In her semi-conscious state of stupor, Anran could hear someone beside her murmuring in a low voice, and she opened her eyes slightly to see Su Yicheng on the phone with someone. From the content of the phone call, she guessed that it was a work-related phone call.
