"Eat more, I remember you love this kind of meat roll the most," Dong Shan Zhong said as he placed a meat roll onto Xinran's plate.
Taking a gentle bite, a rich aroma of meat instantly spread throughout her mouth. Xinran widened her eyes and looked at Dong Shan Zhong in surprise, asking, "Is this the Li Mountain Meat Roll?"
"You figured it out?" Dong Shan Zhong laughed.
"This flavor is the most unforgettable in my memory; how could I not recognize it? But Uncle Chen has long closed his shop. How did you manage to get it?" Back then, her mother loved the Li Mountain Meat Roll and had a special relationship with Uncle Chen. After her mother passed away, whenever she missed her, she would buy Li Mountain Meat Rolls to eat. When Uncle Chen retired to the countryside, she could no longer have them, and wanting to eat this kind of meat roll became a regret. But she never expected that today she would actually be able to taste it.
"I sent someone to the countryside to find Uncle Chen. As soon as I mentioned your name, he generously made a big box for you and insisted it was free. So, using your name turned out to be quite effective!" Dong Shan Zhong picked up another meat roll and directly fed it to Xinran.
"Thank you, really thank you! You make me feel so happy. It's been a long time since anyone has pampered me like this besides my dad!" Tears welled up in Xinran's eyes as she murmured.
"Is this enough to satisfy you? Then the surprise I have prepared for you next would be wasted," Dong Shan Zhong playfully flicked Xinran's nose and gazed at her affectionately.
"With so many surprises, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it!"
"Silly girl, you can handle it! I'll be right here with you! Come on, let's go see the surprise!" With that, Dong Shan Zhong stood up, took Xinran's hand, and led her out of the restaurant towards another door of the villa.
As he opened the milky white door, the scene that greeted Xinran made her gasp and cover her mouth in astonishment. Just beyond one door lay a world that seemed like a different realm altogether; calling it a paradise was an understatement. Although it was night, she could still faintly see the deep blue sea shimmering under the moonlight, as if she were in a fairy tale...
Xinran stepped outside slowly onto the soft sand, feeling both anxious and excited. Each step seemed to bring her closer to the moon. When she reached the shore, she slowly raised her arms; it felt as if she could grasp the moon in her hands. A sea breeze brushed past her, carrying a fresh scent that filled her nostrils. Everything was so beautiful that she thought it might be a dream, constantly worried about waking up!
"Isn't it beautiful here?" Dong Shan Zhong wrapped his arm around Xinran's slender waist and leaned close to her ear to ask.
"Beautiful, it makes me feel like I'm wandering in a dream..."
"Then, how about this?" He took a few steps to the side with her, pointed at the fine sand, and then playfully kissed Xinran on the cheek.
Xinran stared intently at the fine sand, where many shells were buried—there were at least a hundred of them. These shells were arranged into a giant heart shape, with the English word 'love' made from shells in the center!
"This is..." She bit her lip, looking at him.
"What? Are you pretending to ask when you already know?" Dong Shan Zhong teased.
"No, I don't need to ask. I'm just... really too excited. I... I don't even know what to say..." Xinran was somewhat incoherent as she hugged Dong Shan Zhong tightly, murmuring.
"If you don't say anything, I'll worry that you're not satisfied with the surprise."
"I am very satisfied, I like it so much! Dong Shan Zhong, since you gave me this, can I take it for granted that I am your girlfriend now?" Xinran felt a bit shy; fortunately, it was night, and no one could see her face, which was almost bursting with redness!
"Summer, are you trying to provoke me? What do you mean by taking it for granted? Let me tell you, from the moment you took the initiative to kiss me last night, you have been my woman. You already bear my mark; in this lifetime, you won't escape my grasp!" With that, he didn't give Xinran a chance to respond and suddenly kissed her lips deeply...
