"So what?"

He declined to comment and took a sip of wine from his wine cup.

Autumn Leaf frowned and stared at him. Traveling meant coming out together to relax. Right now, there was no difference even if she were to be alone in the country. In the end, she still couldn't live in front of the world, not under the sun.

Thinking like this, her small face couldn't help but darken. Under the dim yellow light, she made people feel pity for her.

"I don't like places with too many people!"

He glanced at her, forcing out the words.

"Oh!"

She was still feeling a bit depressed as she lowered her head and randomly ate.

Speaking of which, why was this steak so hard to cut?

She bit her lips as she complained in her heart. Even the steak couldn't go against her! Just as she was engrossed in the struggle against the steak, a long, bony hand was stretched out in front of her. She blankly raised her head and met his pair of eyes that were as deep as the sea.

Even though she knew he was wrong, her heart still sunk involuntarily. She could hear her heart pounding like thunder. The graceful sound of a violin and a little Western music filled his ears, making him want to dance.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly put her small hand into the big palm and then used the strength from his hands to stand up and dance with him to the sound of the beautiful music.

The quiet and luxurious hotel only had the long, silky sound of the violin left. Autumn Leaf tightly clung to his broad shoulders under the dazzling light. She was a little nervous and didn't dare to raise her head to look at his face.

The blue skirt of the lake water slid out a beautiful curve with every turn of her body, and her heart trembled with every step she took to get close to him.

Who said that whoever loves first loses? Zhuang Shili, I lose!

She was still so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. Last night, after that damned dinner, he had dragged her back to her room and squeezed her out for an entire night. How could that damned man have such good physical strength?

She angrily waved away his large hand and turned around to continue sleeping on the soft bed. However, he refused to let her go and covered his entire body.

"Zhuang Shili, what are you doing?"

She really wanted to cry. She didn't want to have another strenuous exercise in the morning, and even more so, she didn't want to spend all of her travel time rolling around in bed.

"Take you to see the Aegean Sea!"

He lazily got up from her body, standing by the bed and tidying up his messy clothes as he said this.

Aegean Sea?

She suddenly lost half of her sleepiness and sat there hugging her blanket, her small face full of confusion.

The most beautiful place in the legends — the Aegean Sea? But why here? When everyone thought of this, they would think of romantic and moving love. And how could love between them be considered love?

With a heavy heart, she stood up to wash up. Even after breakfast, she was still not in high spirits. It was unknown whether it was because she didn't sleep well or because of the pain in her heart.

She wore a white down jacket, a white woolen hat, and thick snow boots. She wrapped herself up like a dumpling, revealing only her elegant little face and her clear eyes, bright and threatening like the stars in the night sky.

It was winter, and the streets were sparsely populated with pedestrians and tourists. He wore a black woolen coat, and his tall and broad body was wrapped in expensive clothing. He had shed his usual suit and leather shoes, but he still stood out under his casual attire.

He walked in front with large strides, while she slowly walked behind him with her hands in her down jacket pockets. Looking from afar, one could see a black and one white figure under the blue sky, which seemed to be two strangers that didn't intersect at all.

Autumn Leaf raised her eyes to look, and couldn't help but be shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of her. This was the first time she seriously appreciated the scenery here after coming here for one day and two nights. The white houses were connected layer by layer, with uneven heights. They were small and beautiful, and their blue and white interwoven colors allowed people to sweep away the gloom at the bottom of their hearts.

In her heart, besides shock, her eyes widened as she scanned every inch of the enchanting alleyway, the beautiful little white house, the red or green or blue doors and windows, the little white gardener's church … He was afraid that he would miss out on any of the beautiful scenery.

It was only when she heard the screeching of brakes that she recovered from the beauty of the scenery. The next moment, she was pulled into a familiar embrace. She had been so engrossed in the scenery that she had forgotten to follow the traffic rules.

She lay still in the heaving bosom of his chest, and could clearly hear his heart beating rapidly.

"Do you have long eyes and a head? You can't even see the signal? "

Zhuang Shili snarled at her with a cold face, then grabbed her little hand from under her sleeve and strode forward, holding it tightly.

When he turned his head just now, he saw her standing in the middle of the road. In the distance was a car speeding towards them, but she didn't notice it as she continued to move forward. Although the car was traveling at a relatively slow speed, if he were to run into her, her fragile body would probably be more than enough.

He didn't have time to ponder on the reason for the sudden surge of fear in his heart, but he instinctively followed his heart and rushed towards her, using all his strength to pull her away from the trouble.

Autumn Leaf did not even dare to breathe loudly as she followed closely behind him like a student who had committed a mistake. She lowered her head with all her might just in time to see the two hands he was holding together.

Perhaps sensing that she was jogging and panting behind him, he slowed his pace to match hers, and that was how things turned out. Under the clear blue sky, tall, stalwart men held small women and strolled down the quiet streets.

His eyes suddenly became moist. This was the first time he held her hand under the blue sky and white clouds. She remembered that when he was recuperating at the mansion, he had also held her hand. However, this was the first time such an open and honorable matter had happened.

In the country, he was the most secretive and obscure place in her heart. She would never mention it to anyone, and would only hide it from him forever. Furthermore, she reckoned that it was just a part of his heart. He didn't want to bring her up to others, and even more so, he didn't want to bring her to everyone.

Some people say that winter without warm memories is cold, she thought, this winter, she is no longer cold.

The weather here was very good. Although the morning was slightly chilly, the deep blue sky still gave people a pleasant feeling. She had no idea where he was taking her. She just followed him quietly.

Occasionally she would point at the various literary graffiti on the street and excitedly talk to him. Occasionally she would squat down and tease the stray dogs on the street. She would even make mischievous faces at the baby in her mother's arms.

Her childishness gave him a headache, but he just silently indulged her. He was only responsible for leading the way and silently smoking, then silently listening to her laughter, quietly watching her bright face.

Standing on the dock, Zhuang Shiyuan hesitated for a long time, but he still led her to the most ordinary toll cruise and gave up on the luxurious yacht beside her. Initially, he wanted to take her on his private yacht to sail around the Aegean Sea, but after thinking about her loneliness in the empty hotel yesterday, he gave up.

The cruiser cruised slowly across the Aegean Sea. The water was blue and the sun was lazily shining on the deck. There were few tourists or photographers on board, and Autumn Leaf had already gone to the deck of the ship to admire the Aegean Sea.

Sunlight fell on the water, turning the deep blue water into translucent fragments, as if it were trying to show the fragments of history that had settled at the bottom of the Aegean Sea.

Zhuang Shili ordered a beer, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to enjoy the winter sunshine of the Aegean Sea, a gift from nature.

The first time he touched the deep blue Aegean Sea, it was different from when he saw the serenity and openness of the Aegean Sea in all kinds of travel brochures.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at that man with such a feeling.

He was resting with his eyes closed, leaning against the back of the chair. In his hand was a can of cold beer. His face was not as cold as usual. His hair, neither short nor long, fluttered in the wind, brushing against his smooth cheeks.
