Eating barbecue on the beach, sleeping in a tent, staring at the stars... This had been a cherished wish of hers since her childhood.
However, her mother was unwell and her father spent few days at home throughout the year, so even as she turned twenty, this wish remained just that—a wish.
"Alright!"
Leng Zimo, still attending to the meat on the grill, simply responded with a single word.
"Hooray!" Luo Xiaoqian stretched out her arms and embraced him tightly, "Leng Zimo, you’re so wonderful!"
Leng Zimo’s hands shook slightly, and the meat on the tongs almost fell onto the sand.
When he turned to look at Luo Xiaoqian, who was nestling her face against his arm, his eyes betrayed an unmistakable heartache.
It was just a tent, what was there to get so excited about?
How could he know that it wasn’t just a tent, but the dream of Luo Xiaoqian’s childhood?
"I’ll go get the tent!"
Letting go of him, Luo Xiaoqian turned and ran towards the little gate of the villa, but she slipped on the steps and almost fell.
"Be careful!"
Leng Zimo quickly warned.
Steadying herself on the doorframe just in time, Luo Xiaoqian regained her footing, turned back with a radiant smile, and dashed into the villa’s garage. She opened the trunk of the car and sure enough, saw the tent lying calmly in one corner of the luggage space, with a blue and a red sleeping bag beside it.
"There are even sleeping bags, Leng Zimo, I absolutely adore you!"
Luo Xiaoqian immediately set to work, moving the items one by one onto the sand, and swiftly began to unpack and prepare for assembly.
"Let’s eat first!" Leng Zimo suggested, carrying over plates piled with grilled sausages and skewers.
"How about we assemble the tent and then eat inside it?" Luo Xiaoqian asked with a smile, lifting her face.
Faced with such a smile, how could Leng Zimo possibly say no?
