Chapter 289 Tenderness in the Night
At night, the bright lights of the Bund in Shanghai twinkle like stars, making the whole city look like a dream.
The high-rise buildings on both sides of the Huangpu River are brightly lit, and the neon lights carefully outline their majestic contours, which complement the light and shadow reflected on the river surface, creating a beautiful sight.
The cruise ship sailed slowly across the river, leaving behind traces of shimmering water, as if a few lively and graceful dynamic strokes were gently added to this prosperous painting.
Da Mai sat quietly on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at everything with a dazed look.
The breeze gently blew her hair, bringing a slight coolness to the night, and Wheat Sprout curled up in her arms to seek warmth.
"It's not easy to live in the Magic City," these words kept echoing in her mind.
The hustle and bustle of traffic, the bustling crowds, the towering buildings and the bustling commercial streets she saw during the day all made her feel the great charm and endless vitality of this city.
However, this night scene made her more deeply appreciate the fast pace and fierce competition of this city.
Now that I am here, behind the splendor before my eyes are traces of countless people’s dreams and struggles.
Da Mai took a deep breath of the air that smelled slightly of seawater, trying to free herself from this complex emotion, but the effect was minimal. She frowned, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness in her eyes.
Ding Dong, Ding Dong, the ringing of the doorbell woke Da Mai up.
She carefully placed the wheat sprout on the sofa, stood up, walked quickly over and opened the door.
"Maizi, look what I brought you." Chen An picked up the barbecue and beer in his hands, with a warm smile on his face.
"Brother Xiaowu..." Damai threw himself into Chen An's arms. Only at this moment did he feel the reality of everything.
Her face was full of attachment, and her hands were tightly around Chen An's waist.
Chen An was stunned. Feeling the woman's trembling body and fluctuating emotions in his arms, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing, I just miss you a little..." Da Mai's voice was choked with sobs, and he buried his head deeper in Chen An's arms.
Chen An closed the door and turned on the light.
Soft light instantly filled the room, and the warm embrace dispelled the heavy pressure in Da Mai's heart, so that she didn't feel suffocated.
Her body gradually relaxed.
Chen An glanced around the room, noticing the curtains fluttering in the breeze in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and the wheat sprouts on the sofa. His mind raced and he had a guess.
"Baby, I originally wanted to take you out for a walk, but I think it would be better to do it during the day..." Chen An gently patted Damai's back.
"Brother Xiaowu, I want to start a new book..." Da Mai raised his head, his eyes filled with determination and a hint of expectation.
Chen An put the things on the table, hugged Da Mai and walked to the French window, pulled open the curtains, pointed at the night view in front of him, and asked softly, "Is it beautiful here?"
Da Mai didn’t know what Chen An was going to do, but he still nodded softly and stared out the window in a daze.
"Under the blooming flowers, there may be the bodies of unknown animals. Beneath such a beautiful scenery, there are also the efforts and sorrows of too many people. Many people come to this prosperous metropolis with their dreams and dedicate their youth to this city, but in the end they are forced to leave and return to the place where their dreams once started." Chen An's eyes were deep and his voice was low.
"The reason why I chose the city of Shanghai was also for this reason. The more intense the competition, the more it can stimulate my competitive spirit and my desire to conquer. My goal is there. Within three years, I will open a company there, the most dazzling place in the entire Shanghai." Chen An said, pointing to the skyscrapers not far away, his face full of confidence and longing.
"Brother Xiaowu, I'm afraid I will become a burden to you..." Da Mai leaned in Chen An's arms, his voice soft and a hint of worry in his eyes.
Chen An looked at the night scene with a firm look in his eyes, full of strength: "Xiaomi, you are wrong, very wrong. If it were just me, I could live a very comfortable life in a small city."
"But the reality is very cruel. Many times, when you are bullied or hurt by others, it is not because you have done something wrong. The fundamental reason is that you are too weak."
"Before you were attacked in the comment section, Nana was attacked online and had to flee to the village to hide. She even had to endure the fear in her heart and be wary of other people's eyes."
"You are my love, and my family in this world. As a man, everything I do now is to better protect you. With you by my side, I can keep moving forward like a perpetual motion machine. You are the harbor where my soul rests, and no one can replace you."
Da Mai relaxed his brows and hugged Chen An's neck with his backhand, "Brother Xiao Wu, I'm sorry, it's my own personality problem..."
Chen An stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of Da Mai's nose: "I just came to this city, and it's good to be under some pressure from the prosperity and the fast-paced life here, but you can't be overwhelmed. In fact, everyone has their own shortcomings, and everyone has their own advantages."
Chen An pointed at his nose and said with a smile: "Look at how handsome your man is. Isn't he also fascinated by you, a little goblin?" He reached out and grabbed Damai's hand and placed it on his heart. "Little wheat, your biggest advantage is that I have you here..."
Da Mai hugged Chen An's neck and kissed him fiercely. Chen An also held the little girl's buttocks and responded slowly...
