Chapter 1020: 2 childhood sweethearts

Lin Lang held Li Moli in his arms, feeling her warm body. The wind from the Huangpu River brought with it a salty smell from the East China Sea. The pier, which was bustling just now, was now empty and silent.

Li Moli's tears soaked Lin Lang's shirt. She hugged Lin Lang tightly, as if Lin Lang would become someone else's as soon as he let go.

Lin Lang sighed softly, lowered his head and placed a cherished kiss on the top of her head.

Li Moli raised her head, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, but she forced a smile: "Husband, I'm the only one left here, are we still going out to sea?"

Lin Lang replied lovingly, "Of course we went out to sea. This is a rare time for us to spend together as a couple. My husband must cherish it."

After hearing this, Li Moli stuck out her tongue and said with a smile in her tearful eyes, "Hubby, let's get on the yacht now."

Li Moli's eyelashes were still shimmering with water. Upon hearing what was said, she tiptoed and stepped onto the titanium alloy gangway that shone with a cold light to board the ship. The hem of her silk skirt swept over the handrail, leaving behind a faint scent of gardenia.

Lin Lang reached out and wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of Li Moli's eyes. The wind from the river blew up a strand of hair behind her ear. He twisted his fingertips around the hair and gently twisted it. "Okay, baby, you get on the yacht first. I'll untie the ropes and we'll go out to sea right away."

Li Moli's eyelashes were still trembling slightly. She burst into laughter when she heard the words, stood on tiptoe and pecked Lin Lang's lips, then stepped lightly onto the gangway to board the luxury yacht.

Lin Lang held onto the railing and waited for Li Moli to step steadily onto the yacht before turning his gaze to the cable tied to the pier piles.

The mooring area of ​​the dock was shimmering with the waves, and four synthetic fiber cables as thick as wrists firmly fixed the yacht.

Lin Lang used his mind power and the hatch on the edge of the deck automatically popped open, revealing a sophisticated electric cable-retracting device.

He grasped the frosted cable, and the metal buckle unlocked. The cable slid into the recovery port like a snake, and was neatly rolled into the cabin with the sound of gears turning.

After confirming that the last rear cable was back in place, Lin Lang quickly walked towards the cockpit.

The moment you open the cabin door, the scent of leather and sandalwood hits you in the face.

His fingertips brushed across the rose gold button on the center console. The gangway made a slight humming sound and automatically folded back into the hull. The glass curtain wall blocked out the warm and fishy river breeze.

Starting the engine, the dashboard lit up with a soft amber light. Lin Lang skillfully checked various parameters. The speed, oil pressure, water temperature, etc. were all normal, and the carbon fiber joystick felt slightly warm in his palm.

On the touch screen, he set the route, kept the VHF communication channel open, and stayed in touch with the port control center.

The moment the positioning system completed the confirmation, he turned to look at Li Moli who was leaning against the cabin door, her beautiful figure bathed in the soft light of the sunlight.

"Baby, you are so beautiful." Lin Lang raised the corners of his mouth and pressed the thruster start button with his thumb.

The twin-turbocharged engine emits a low roar, and the yacht slowly leaves the berth under the traction of the electric winch like a waking giant beast.

Li Moli came over wearing yacht slippers and bringing a fragrant breeze. Lin Lang freed his left hand and held her in his arms. His fingertips lightly swiped across the touch screen. The moment the automatic driving mode was activated, the scenery of the Bund Yacht Marina gradually turned into mottled light behind him.

"Honey, there are so many snacks and delicious food in the cabin!"

Lin Lang hugged the soft and delicate Li Moli and said with a smile: "My little greedy cat, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

"Hubby, how do you know I didn't have breakfast?"

Lin Lang smiled and said, "I know you're slow at putting on makeup. Seeing how beautiful you look today, you must have spent a lot of time and effort on it. I guess you didn't have breakfast."

"Hehe...husband, you guessed it right."

"Baby, go wait for me in the cabin and eat your food first. I'll be right there with you."

"Okay." Li Moli kissed Lin Lang on the handsome side of his face, and then left the cockpit beautifully.

Lin Lang snapped his fingers and summoned an invisible clone, who stayed in the cockpit to drive the yacht, while his main body went to the yacht deck.

Lin Lang stood at the front of the yacht deck. The river breeze, carrying the salty taste of the East China Sea, blew in his face, ruffling his hair and his heart.

He turned his back to the wind and took out a cigarette box from his body. He flipped the metal lighter deftly between his knuckles. The moment the flame leaped, the orange light illuminated the surging thoughts in his eyes.

When Lin Lang turned to face the wind, the river breeze suddenly intensified, breaking the ashes into fine silver-ash and drifting along the winding flow of the Huangpu River.

He raised his hand to brush away his messy hair, and his dark eyes narrowed slightly beneath the messy hair, reflecting the scenery on the bank of the Huangpu River.

The century-old buildings of the Bund stand silently in the twilight, the skyscrapers of Lujiazui pierce the clouds, and the cargo ships shuttling on the river blow their whistles, startling a flock of egrets to fly over the side of the ship.

The cigarette flickered between his fingertips as Lin Lang leaned against the carved railing, letting the river wind lift the hem of his shirt.

The faces of those women flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope - Han Zaiyin sobbing when she collapsed, Cai Yinong's stubborn back when she turned around, Zhou Mengyao loving but stubborn... Their tears, laughter, and dependence all turned into vines wrapped around his heart, strangling his breathing.

"Is it that desires are insatiable, or am I just too greedy?" He muttered to himself, and the smoke mixed with sighs dissipated in the wind.

I once enjoyed the sense of accomplishment of being the center of attention, but now I feel like I am carrying a heavy yoke.

Every woman was once a unique light in his life, but when the light gathered into a dazzling torrent, he could not tell whether it was a blessing or a burden.

The river surface in the distance was shimmering with light, and golden sunlight swept across the side of his face. At the junction of shadow and light, he saw that his reflection in his heart was lonely.

Oh shit!

Is this the legendary loneliness behind invincibility?

Don't dare to think too much.

The more I think about it, the more I get scared.

In the river breeze, Lin Lang's outline is still handsome, but his brows are a little tired.

Perhaps I am really too greedy, trying to embrace all the tenderness in my arms, but forgetting that the human heart is not a bottomless pit and will eventually be suffocated.

The cigarette butt was crushed between his fingers. Lin Lang watched the last wisp of smoke being blown away by the wind, and the emotions surging in his chest gradually calmed down.

He said to himself: Allow everything to happen, everything that happens will be beneficial to me.

Lin Lang didn't need to think too much before he heard Li Moli's sweet voice behind him, "Hubby, come and try this strawberry mousse cake, it's delicious!"

Lin Lang took a deep breath, threw all his complicated emotions into the surging river behind him, and when he turned around, he had a gentle smile on his face.

At least at this moment, he wanted to hold on to the pure warmth in front of him, and as for those tangled entanglements, let the waves of the Huangpu River slowly wash them away.

"My little greedy wife!" Lin Lang hugged Li Moli in his arms again, and they stood on the deck enjoying the river breeze.

"Honey, try it." Li Moli picked up a piece of strawberry cake with a cake fork and fed it into Lin Lang's mouth.

Lin Lang chewed gently and looked at his childhood sweetheart Li Moli with a warm and charming smile on his face.

"Is it delicious, husband?" Li Moli asked with a smile, blinking her clear eyes.

"It's delicious and sweet, but not as sweet as my wife's smile." Lin Lang scratched Li Moli's nose, his eyes full of love.

"Honey, I want to eat kebabs."

Lin Lang replied lovingly, "Okay, I'll grill it for you now. Today, my husband is taking the initiative to accompany you and spend a good day at sea with you."

"Okay, hehe..." Li Moli smiled sweetly.

The journey from the Bund Yacht Marina to the Huangpu River estuary takes about three hours. During this time, Lin Lang started a sea barbecue to make Li Moli happy.

Lin Lang lifted the cover of the stainless steel barbecue grill, and the preheated charcoal fire instantly burst into orange flames.

He put on grilling gloves and took out the lamb skewers marinated with a secret sauce from the yacht's freezer. The fat and lean pieces of meat shone with an enticing oily sheen in the river breeze.

Li Moli moved a leather folding chair and sat next to him, swinging her feet in yacht slippers and staring intently at the movements of Lin Lang's hands.

The two childhood sweethearts seemed to have endless topics to talk about. They chatted sweetly and warmly, reminiscing about the past, talking about the present, and looking forward to the future.

Who understands the beauty of childhood sweethearts?

Soon, Lin Lang handed the first skewer of grilled lamb to Li Moli, and the mixed aroma of cumin and lamb filled the air between the two.

"Take it, baby, be careful of the heat." Lin Lang gently reminded.

Li Moli smiled sweetly with her eyebrows curved. She carefully bit off a piece of meat, and the hot juice almost splashed on the corner of her mouth. Lin Lang quickly wiped the oil stains on her lips with a tissue. The remaining warmth from his fingertips made her cheeks flush.

"Delicious, my husband, your grilled lamb kebabs are so delicious!"

"Eat slowly, there are grilled shrimps." Lin Lang put the bamboo skewers with fresh shrimps on the grill. The shrimp shells gradually turned red under the roasting charcoal fire, making a "sizzling" sound.

He sprinkled black pepper and rosemary, turned to look at Li Moli, and found that she was eating the delicious grilled lamb skewers like a foodie, as cautiously as a child stealing candy.

Lin Lang recalled the time when he and Li Moli couldn't find any candy at home, so they stole honey together.

Those seemingly ordinary and insignificant memories are actually the most carefree and beautiful times in the lives of two childhood sweethearts.

If you have to choose between your white moonlight and your childhood sweetheart, any rational person will choose your childhood sweetheart.

why?

Because innocent childhood friendships and shared experiences of growing up are often deeper and more stable, childhood sweethearts are built on long-term understanding and trust.

This is what is called deep love is not as good as long-term companionship.

After experiencing today's events, Lin Lang realized more clearly how important Li Moli was to him.

This girl next door who doesn't fight or compete and is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed, has risen rapidly in Lin Lang's heart.

The sea breeze suddenly grew stronger, blowing up sparks from the barbecue grill.

Lin Lang subconsciously used his body to block Li Moli, and used his other hand to steady the shaking seasoning bottle.

"Be careful." His warm breath brushed against Li Moli's ears, but Li Moli smiled and raised the drink in her hand: "Hubby, let's toast!"

Two champagne glasses clinked together, and bubbles rose in the amber liquid.

"Let's celebrate our childhood sweetheart love!" Lin Lang smiled gently, his eyes full of longing as he looked at Li Moli.

Li Moli smiled sweetly and said, "A toast to my childhood sweetheart, hehe!"

The couple looked at each other affectionately and drank the wine in their glasses at the same time, their deep feelings really showed through.

Lin Lang took out the chilled champagne from the ice bucket, filled a glass for Li Moli and himself, then he picked up the glass, took a sip, and put abalone and mushrooms on the grill.

Lin Lang handed the last skewer of grilled squid to Li Moli, and continued to grill skewers for her. Seeing her satisfied look while eating, his heart was filled with a calm, warm feeling of happiness.

The food originally prepared for twenty people was now piled up like a small mountain in front of the two of them, but it looked unexpectedly rich and satisfying.

Without the gazes and noise of others, the tacit understanding between childhood sweethearts makes every look and every interaction natural and intimate.

Li Moli suddenly stood up and hugged Lin Lang, who was grilling, from behind. She put her face on Lin Lang's back, closed her eyes and said, "Hubby, can we be together like this often in the future?"

Lin Lang readily agreed: "Okay, just the two of us."

The river wind picked up Li Moli's hair and wrapped it around Lin Lang's wrist, like a knot that could not be untied, but it made him willing to be trapped in this unique tenderness.
