I almost touched the moon

Chapter 382: In the next life, and the next life, I will pledge my love to you

In the evening, Wen Song changed into a short satin dress. The pure white dress was only embellished with hand-embroidered lily of the valley flowers on the chest. She paired it with a light beige thin cashmere jacket and white boots.

The long hair is tied up just enough to reveal her slender neck. It is matched with a tasaki et plus platinum pearl necklace and a pair of small sugar cube pearl earrings, which is simple yet elegant.

"Let's go."

After Wen Song finished dressing up, he took Cheng Che's hand and took a look at the black shirt and black trousers he was wearing today, paired with an ankle-length white coat, which made his figure look taller and more slender.

She turned around and put her arms around Cheng Che's waist, raised her head and left a lip print on the corner of his lips, "My husband is so handsome."

Cheng Che also bent down and kissed her, praising her: "You are not as beautiful as my wife. You are obviously older than me, but you look much younger than me. In a few years, when our family goes out, people will really think I am with my two daughters."

"No way." Wen Song approached Cheng Che, his tone a little threatening, "If that's the case, I won't love you anymore. It's your face that I'm attracted to, Mr. Cheng."

Master Cheng, a name so distant and unfamiliar that Cheng Che felt as if they were still in the year when they first met. Cheng Che hugged her, lowered his head and kissed her and said, "No, sister, don't worry, I know you will still love me even if I become ugly."

After dinner, they drove to the beach in Mojiko. Because there was no public announcement about the fireworks festival, there were few people on the beach, only a few stalls selling snacks and beer.

Wen Song and Cheng Che held hands and slowly strolled along the beach. Wen Song held the freshly bought grilled squid in his left hand, while Cheng Che held a glass of freshly brewed beer in his hand.

"It would be nice if Cece was here." Wen Song took a bite of the grilled squid, and it still tasted familiar to her. "It likes this grilled squid the most."

"Then let's bring Cece with us in the summer." Cheng Che handed her the beer, "Wife, you are biased. You said you would bring Cece but didn't mention Astrid. She will be sad."

"Astrid doesn't like watching the fireworks display." Wen Song smiled, "You forgot that the last time we brought her here, she thought it looked nice and wanted to wear a yukata, but after putting it on, she complained that she couldn't walk fast. On the way back, she wasn't tired at all, but she insisted that you carry her. How tired you must be."

"Not tired." Cheng Che said with a relaxed smile, "If my wife feels tired later, I can also carry you to the parking lot."

As night fell, fireworks exploded, lighting up the entire night sky. Even the soundtrack was decorated with fireworks, exactly the same as it was seventeen years ago.

"Look at this, honey!" Cheng Che grabbed her hand excitedly, "Does your favorite three-foot-tall jade look good?"

"nice."

Wen Song naturally leaned her head on Cheng Che's shoulder, quietly admiring the fireworks in front of her. Over the years, she has seen countless fireworks displays, but she always feels that the most gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the summer when she was 23 years old.

Until today, the fireworks that bloomed over Mojiko Port have finally replaced that day.

The fireworks display lasted for a long time, until nearly two hours later, when a 650-meter-long colorful Niagara Falls-like fireworks bloomed in the night sky. The fireworks finally ended and the night sky returned to darkness.

Because the fireworks were so gorgeous, even without any prior notice, the beach was already crowded with people. Many people were whispering about why there would be such a grand fireworks display today, as they had never heard of it and were very surprised.

Even Li Yunjia sent a message to Wen Song, [I saw the video on Twitter, it's so good, I would have gone if I had known earlier]

Wen Song smiled faintly and replied to her, "I didn't expect that either."

She looked at the smoke still remaining in the sky, turned around and looked at Cheng Che, feeling a little moved, tears inadvertently welling up in her eyes.

"I thought it was just an ordinary one, but I didn't expect you to be so grand..."

"Of course, what I prepare for you must be the most perfect." Cheng Che lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. "It's not just to compensate you for the fireworks display that day, but also to celebrate the successful test of the Aurora Voyager Neptune-Kuiper Belt probe led by Prof. Iseylia."

Cheng Che sat by the sea, the sea breeze blew up Wen Song's bangs, and her profile became a little blurry in the dim light. For a moment, he thought she was still 24 years old.

"I will never forget the day you defended your master's thesis. You said, 'I hope one day, the probe I engaged in research and development could fly over the earth and even travel to the Kuiper belt'.

You always said that you had no dream, so I took it upon myself to regard this as your dream. Now that your dream has come true, shouldn’t you celebrate it properly? "

Wen Song also smiled and nodded, leaned forward and kissed Cheng Che's lips, looked at him and said, "You're right, let's go for a drink, there's a small pub nearby, the beer and sake there are delicious, Yunjia and I go there often."

"Okay~" Cheng Che put his arm around her shoulders, looked back at the crowd leaving, touched her head and said, "There are a lot of people here now, let's sit for a while and go again later. Honey, do you still want to eat grilled squid?"

"Yes." Wen Song smiled, "I also want to eat octopus balls, and those long fried potatoes and shaved ice. Let's go buy them together."

"It's okay, just sit down." Cheng Che stood up and said, "There are a lot of people outside, and you have your period, so don't walk too much. I'll buy it for you."

Cheng Che came back with some snacks soon, and sat on the picnic mat with Wen Song, watching him eat quietly.

"You eat too." Wen Song fed him an octopus ball. "It would be nice if it were summer. It's still a bit cold at the seaside in spring."

Cheng Che immediately took off his coat and put it on her, then buttoned it up for her, "Don't catch a cold."

Wen Song took off his coat and put it on both of them, then he grabbed Cheng Che's hand and said, "Let's wear it together, or you'll catch a cold and I'll have to take care of you."

Cheng Che nodded, ate snacks with her while enjoying the sea breeze, and fed her a small spoonful of shaved ice. For some reason, he thought of a memory from long ago.

"When I was a kid, I watched the fireworks display with my parents. My dad kept complaining that fireworks were nothing good, they were just a momentary brilliance. Mom said that as long as they shine, even if it's only for a moment, it's still beautiful."

Cheng Che sighed softly, "Later I learned that she was already ill at that time. It was not breast cancer, but depression. She wanted to leave me with some good memories."

Wen Song couldn't help but sigh, and held Cheng Che's hand tightly, interlocking his fingers with his, and said casually: "What your father said is exactly the same as my grandmother. But I think what mom said is very right, as long as you have been brilliant, even if it is only for a moment, it is worth it. It's like, I think my life has been wonderful, so it doesn't matter if I die now."

"No." Cheng Che immediately stopped her from talking with a kiss, "If you die, what will happen to Astrid and I? Especially me, I can't live without you."

"I know, I'm just making an analogy. Isn't it inappropriate? Let me change it." Wen Song smiled and touched Cheng Che's head to comfort him, "Just like cherry blossoms, as long as they bloom, it doesn't matter if they wither. And I won't die. If I die now, what if Aurora has problems later? Will she be buried with me?"

Cheng Che laughed dumbly, hugged her and said, "Yes, Prof. Iseylia is a pillar of the astrophysics community. Without you, humans will never find the reason for the origin of the solar system."

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, bringing back some memories of Wen Song. She said to Cheng Che, "I can understand how my mother felt at that time."

"The year I broke up with you." Wen Song pinched Cheng Che's hand as punishment when he said this. "In August, Yun Jia and I went to watch the fireworks show together. At that time, I missed you very much, and I couldn't help but tell Yun Jia. Cheng Che told me that he made me miss the best seat to watch the fireworks two years ago, and he would compensate me, but he didn't. What a liar."

"I'm sorry, Songsong." Cheng Che looked at her guiltily and said, "I'm sorry... I will make it up to you every summer in the future."

"It's okay. I just want to tell you that Yunjia asked me if I would hate you and if I would feel regretful." Wen Song said with relief, "I said I wouldn't, because no one will ever love me more than Cheng Che, and I won't love anyone as much as I love him. But it doesn't matter. The memory is beautiful, and it's enough that it existed."

Cheng Che immediately turned around and hugged her, hugged her and kissed her with some force, entangled her lips and tongue in the darkness, and slowly let her go after a long time.

"It will always be there, Songsong, I will always love you like this."

"I know." Wen Song stood up and said with a smile, "I just think that we are really lucky. Even though we have been through a lot and our personalities are obviously not that suitable, we can still love each other for so long."

"Of course, because my Iseylia is the most perfect person in the world. Thank you for always tolerating me." Cheng Che also stood up, and another question flashed through his mind, "Song Song, I also want to ask you, if I hadn't come to Fukuoka seventeen years ago, would you be with me?"

"Yes." Wen Song found this question a little funny. "Don't you understand? I didn't agree to you at first, not because I didn't like you, but because I liked you too much. I also know that I am not good at dealing with intimate relationships, so I was afraid of hurting you and didn't dare to be with you. But when you came to Fukuoka, I suddenly felt that nothing mattered anymore. I will try my best to do well for you."

Cheng Che was even more moved after hearing this. He placed delicate kisses on her eyes and lips, smiled and kissed her, put his arm around her waist, and said with regret: "Alas... why do you have your period these days..."

"Cheng Che!" Wen Song pinched his hand in anger, "You are getting more and more frivolous as you grow older!! I really thought you were a pure and innocent little boy! You liar!"

"I'm not like that. I was originally a pure and innocent little kid, but I'm not the same as the people around me. What can I do?" Cheng Che lowered his head and kissed her again. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. As long as I'm with my sister, it's enough."

The crowd gradually dispersed, Cheng Che carried Wen Song on his back and said, "Let's go, let's go drink."

"Put me down!" Wen Song hit him on the back. "I'm not wearing clogs today so my feet aren't sore and I can walk by myself."

"But I want to carry you on my back." Cheng Che held her legs tighter, "Sister, can you just let me carry you? The first time I carried you, I was so nervous that my mind went blank and I don't remember anything."

"Really?" Wen Song could only let him carry her on his back, and lowered her head to whisper in his ear, "The moon is so beautiful tonight." (The moon is so beautiful tonight)

"Yeah..." Cheng Che smiled and nodded, then said to her, "Wife, there is no moon today."

"How could there be nothing!" Wen Song said seriously, "If the moon disappeared, the earth would have been destroyed by an asteroid impact long ago."

"My professor!" Cheng Che was speechless, "That's not what I meant."

"I know, I was just teasing you." Wen Song pinched his face, "It's all your fault. You set off 2 fireworks and the smoke blocked the moon."

"How can you blame me for this? I did it for my sister. Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Then I'll give you the moon as compensation, too?"

"This seems a little difficult. Please pledge your love to me."

"I have already promised myself to you, what can I do? Maybe I can give it to you in the next life, okay?"

"Okay, in the next life, and the life after that, you must pledge your love to me."
