Chapter 1046 Waiting

Ye Tianming moved his throat, thousands of words were stuck in his heart, but he couldn't say them.

The deep affection in Chu Yunshao's eyes frightened him, like a gentle net that slowly engulfed him.

It’s not that he hasn’t thought about responding to this feeling, but it’s impossible for him to stay in Longhai now, and he might come back less and less in the future.

How could he bear to delay such a beautiful girl like Chu Yunshao?

"Yun Shao..." Ye Tianming avoided her gaze and said in a dry voice, "How is your father now? Is he okay?"

The light in Chu Yunshao's eyes dimmed, like a star wet by rain, its light was weak.

She shook her head gently. "My dad... doesn't care about those things anymore. He often travels around and says he wants to see the world."

"That's good. If your father is willing to go back to work, I can help." Ye Tianming breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chu Yunshao steadily.

"Yeah, I know." Chu Yunshao forced a smile, but he couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes. "But it's good for Daddy the way he is now. There's no more intrigue, no more fear. Let the past be the past."

Ye Tianming nodded slightly.

What Chu Yunshao said was correct.

Chu Guofeng's personality is indeed not suitable for returning to officialdom, and being able to enjoy life is indeed a very good choice.

If they didn't have any opinions, he would naturally be willing to respect Chu Guofeng and the others' decision.

The two of them had a lot of thoughts in their minds, but they fell silent.

For a moment, the air was filled with a faint bitterness and silence, as if coptis root was added to bitter medicine, and the bitterness went straight to the top of the head, which was indescribable.

After a long while, Chu Yunshao took a deep breath, pointed out the window and said, "The beach is not far ahead. Let's go for a walk."

"Okay." Ye Tianming nodded.

Ye Tianming drove Chu Yunshao's Volkswagen Buick and sped straight towards the beach.

……

At the seaside, the sun sets, and the golden sunlight shines on the sea, making the waves sparkle, like countless broken gold jumping constantly.

The sea breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of salty and humid air, mixed with the sound of rolling waves, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The two figures stretched out along the coast, the sound of waves covering the silence of the two people, they both looked out to the distant sea, no one spoke for a while.

The boundless sea stretched into the distance, and wave after wave pushed the fine sand to their feet.

Chu Yunshao felt like he was dreaming. He would secretly glance at Ye Tianming from time to time, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Ye Tianming noticed her gaze and turned to ask.

"Nothing... nothing, I just feel... it's so good like this, so good that it feels like a dream." Chu Yunshao's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that he would wake up from this beautiful dream in the next second.

Instinctively, she reached out and held Ye Tianming's arm, gently leaning her head on his shoulder.

Ye Tianming's body stiffened, and he subconsciously wanted to pull back his arm, but stopped when he touched her cold fingers.

He looked down at Chu Yunshao. Her profile looked particularly gentle in the reflection of the setting sun, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like a frightened butterfly.

"Tianming..." Chu Yunshao spoke softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice, "Do you know? All these years, I have been waiting for you, waiting for you to come back..."

Ye Tianming's heart trembled suddenly. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

"Now, I finally waited for you to come back..." Chu Yunshao's voice became lower and lower, and in the end it almost became a whisper.

Ye Tianming's heart seemed to be hit hard by something.

He looked down at Chu Yunshao, and seeing the affection and expectation in her eyes, he felt mixed emotions.

He knew that Chu Yunshao was a good girl and deserved better happiness.

However, now he could not give her any promises, and he himself did not even know where he would be tomorrow.

"Yun Shao..." Ye Tianming gently held her hand, his voice hoarse, "I'm sorry..."

"Don't say sorry, I don't need your sorry..." Chu Yunshao raised his head and looked at him with tearful eyes, "I just want you, as long as you are safe, remember that I am still waiting for you..."

Her words were like a sharp blade, piercing Ye Tianming's heart.

He could no longer control his emotions, and he suddenly hugged her in his arms and kissed her lips.

Chu Yunshao was stunned at first, then responded to his kiss passionately, wrapping his arms tightly around his waist, as if he wanted to embed him into his body.

The sea breeze blew gently, the waves beat against the shore, and the setting sun stretched the two people's figures into a long shadow, as if to freeze this moment forever.

Ye Tianming took out a small exquisite box from his pocket and handed it to Chu Yunshao: "For you."

Chu Yunshao was stunned. He took the box in confusion, opened it, and saw a purple ring lying quietly inside.

The shape of the ring is simple, but the purple gem is extremely dazzling, shining with a dreamy light in the afterglow of the sunset.

"This... is too valuable. I can't accept it." Although Chu Yunshao liked the ring very much, he still instinctively wanted to refuse it.

"Take it. This is specially prepared for you. It suits you very well." Ye Tianming insisted on putting the ring into Chu Yunshao's hand.

This ring was made from a piece of amethyst that he had brought out from the Kunpeng Divine Order. It was full of spiritual energy and would be of great benefit to cultivation when worn. Moreover, it could change color depending on the wearer's mood, which was quite magical.

Chu Yunshao looked at Ye Tianming seriously, his eyes flashing with excitement, "Did you prepare this specially for me?"

Ye Tianming nodded again and urged: "Put it on and try it on."

Chu Yunshao did not refuse this time, but carefully put the ring on her ring finger. The size was just right, as if it was tailor-made for her.

"Does it look good?" Chu Yunshao stretched out his finger and waved it in front of Ye Tianming.

"It looks good." Ye Tianming nodded, his eyes fell on her white and slender fingers, and his heart moved slightly.

"Tianming, tell me, do you have me in your heart?" Chu Yunshao suddenly raised his head and stared at him with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.

Ye Tianming's eyes flickered slightly. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't.

Chu Yunshao's eyes were too persistent, making it impossible for him to say anything against his will.

"Yun Shao, you really make my heart beat and I am moved." Ye Tianming gently held her hand, his voice low and hoarse.

Thinking of what Chu Yunshao had done for him, he couldn't remain indifferent.

Whether it was her once passionate pursuit or her silent affection and waiting, they were like a warm flame that forcibly opened the hard defense in his heart.

When Chu Yunshao heard this, a bright smile suddenly broke out on his face.

That smile actually made Ye Tianming a little drunk.

This smile is more beautiful than the sunset in the sky.

Chu Yunshao stood on tiptoe again excitedly, kissed Ye Tianming's lips gently, and whispered: "Tianming, thank you, thank you for giving me a chance."

Ye Tianming's heart seemed to be touched gently by something, and he felt numb and a strange feeling spread in his heart.

He couldn't help but hug Chu Yunshao's waist and deepened the kiss.

The sea breeze grew stronger and stronger, ruffling Chu Yunshao's long hair and also blowing away the last bit of rationality between the two.

Dry wood and raging fire will ignite at any touch.
