Chapter 190 In the next life, I will protect you for the rest of my life.
Chapter 190 In the next life, I will protect you for the rest of my life.
On the plane, Tan Zhengchu gently held Su Yingxue's hand.
His gaze was fixed on the sea of clouds outside the window, as if he were confiding his thoughts to her, or perhaps talking to himself: "Yingxue, this time when I go out, I just want to accompany you to do the things that ordinary couples do, so that you will have no regrets in this life."
Even if something were to happen to me in the future, carrying these romantic memories from my travels would give me peace of mind.
Su Yingxue grasped his hand in return and nodded firmly: "Zhengchu, no matter what happens, I will be with you all the way."
Once we arrive at our destination, we'll be just like any other ordinary couple, strolling along the beach and watching the tides rise and fall.
Wander through the ancient alleys and sample all the local delicacies.
Every moment is filled with sweetness and warmth.
Tan Zhengchu listened, nodded, and immersed himself in the journey ahead.
He gazed out the window, lost in thought, and silently made a wish in his heart: In the next life, I, Tan Zhengchu, will definitely be with Su Yingxue and never be separated again. I will protect her for the rest of my life and make her happy and carefree.
Su Yingxue seemed to sense something, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "Zhengchu, life is long, let's work hard together."
Tan Zhengchu hugged her tightly and nodded in agreement.
Both of them knew in their hearts that this trip carried too many different meanings.
……
The airplane soared above the sea of clouds.
Inside the cabin, the soft lighting created a warm and inviting atmosphere.
However, both Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue harbored a sense of tension and conflict in their hearts.
Su Yingxue leaned gently on Tan Zhengchu's shoulder, a hopeful smile on her face, and said softly, "Zhengchu, let's go back to Pengcheng and get our marriage certificate after this trip."
Tan Zhengchu turned his head slightly, looked at her with eyes full of love, and nodded heavily: "Okay, Yingxue, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. Getting a marriage certificate is not just a piece of paper. For me, it's a promise. It not only keeps me in check and makes me more responsible, but more importantly, it gives you a strong sense of security."
Su Yingxue smiled, her eyes sparkling with happiness, and snuggled closer to Tan Zhengchu.
The flight was long, and before long, Su Yingxue fell into a deep sleep.
Tan Zhengchu adjusted her position to make her more comfortable.
Then he kept staring at her, his eyes filled with deep affection and reluctance.
He thought to himself: Yingxue, I really want to etch your image at this moment into my mind forever. No matter what happens in the future, I will have strength whenever I think of you.
Just then, a little boy sitting next to her stared intently at the sleeping Su Yingxue with his big, round eyes and said in a childish voice, "Big sister, you are so pretty."
Su Yingxue was awakened and smiled sleepily, "Thank you, little one."
Tan Zhengchu frowned.
He noticed the way the little boy was looking at Su Yingxue and felt inexplicably displeased. He said in a warning tone, "Kid, stop looking. She's my woman."
The little boy blinked, showing no fear of Tan Zhengchu.
Instead, she raised her chin and said defiantly, "Hmph, when I grow up, I'm going to make this older sister my bride!"
Tan Zhengchu's face darkened, his eyes instantly turning icy, and he retorted firmly, "Impossible! You brat, don't be delusional. She will always be my bride."
Seeing this, Su Yingxue was both amused and exasperated, and tugged at Tan Zhengchu's arm: "Zhengchu, don't take it to heart with a child."
Tan Zhengchu snorted and turned his head away.
But her eyes kept glancing at the little boy, as if afraid he might do something else.
His tense yet protective demeanor both amused and touched Su Yingxue.
When the little boy saw Tan Zhengchu's fierce look, he pouted and burst into tears.
Su Yingxue was leaning on Tan Zhengchu's shoulder when she heard the crying and quickly turned her head to look.
The little boy's big, watery eyes were filled with tears, and he looked incredibly adorable.
She immediately leaned forward and asked softly, "Little one, what's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry." Her voice was so gentle it could melt your heart.
At that moment, the flight attendant and the little boy's mother rushed over.
The little boy's crying miraculously stopped as soon as he heard Su Yingxue's sweet voice, though he still sobbed occasionally.
The little boy sniffed, pointed at Tan Zhengchu, and complained in a tearful voice, "He stole my bride!"
As soon as he said that, the surrounding passengers couldn't help but laugh.
The little boy's mother was a little embarrassed and quickly explained, "Oh dear, this child just can't resist pretty older sisters. Don't mind him." As she spoke, she tried to pull the little boy away.
Su Yingxue found the little boy extremely cute, reached out and gently held his small hand, praising him with a smile, "You little rascal, you have such a sweet tongue."
The little boy perked up immediately after being praised, his face flushed red, and he loudly announced, "Sister, when I grow up, I want to marry you!"
Su Yingxue was amused, her eyes full of laughter, and encouraged her, "Okay, then you'd better grow up quickly!"
Tan Zhengchu, standing to the side, grew increasingly gloomy, his eyes flashing with a dark light, as if a storm was about to break; he did indeed look rather frightening.
The little boy's mother caught a glimpse of Tan Zhengchu and her heart skipped a beat.
She quickly picked up her son and hurriedly fled the scene, muttering, "Let's go, let's go, stop causing trouble."
Tan Zhengchu snorted coldly, looking in the direction the little boy had left, and muttered under his breath, "At such a young age, he's already learning bad habits and dares to steal my woman."
Su Yingxue shook her head helplessly and gently patted Tan Zhengchu's arm: "Zhengchu, why are you arguing with a child? He doesn't know any better yet."
Tan Zhengchu then turned his head and looked at Su Yingxue, his eyes full of grievance: "Yingxue, I was just afraid that someone else would take you away."
Su Yingxue felt a warmth in her heart, leaned against him, and whispered, "Silly boy, I'm going to stick with you for the rest of my life, and no one can take you away."
After the little boy and his mother left in a hurry, the flight attendant came forward.
With a professional smile on her face, she looked at Su Yingxue and softly praised, "Madam, you are so beautiful. You must have attracted a lot of attention along the way."
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhengchu's expression finally softened somewhat.
But his tone remained direct, even a bit impolite: "Of course, how could my woman not be beautiful?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue felt somewhat displeased.
Taking advantage of the flight attendant's inattention, she secretly pinched Tan Zhengchu's arm hard and whispered reproachfully, "Can't you be a little more modest?"
Tan Zhengchu winced in pain, hissed, and turned to the flight attendant, saying, "Excuse me, we have some personal matters to attend to, please don't bother us for now."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across the flight attendant's face.
However, she maintained her smile and politely replied, "Okay, have a pleasant trip."
After saying that, the flight attendant turned and left.
