Chapter 409: Chapter 409 The Promise Between Two People
The night by the sea, once the visitors have left, is strangely silent.
All that’s left around is the sound of the sea slapping against the beach and the rhythmic splash of raindrops hitting the sea.
In the rain, beneath a not-so-big jacket, two people are still kissing, lost in their passion, as if the world only consisted of him and her.
The interruption comes after the rain grew heavier.
The jacket, having been used as shelter for too long, was overwhelmed and began letting rain drip onto their heads.
Adrian glanced at Summer beside him, exchanged a smile, wrung out the soaked jacket slightly, and continued using it to shield above their heads, guiding Summer towards the car parked by the roadside.
When they returned to the car, both were quite drenched, but neither cared.
Seeing the thoroughly soaked Summer beside him, Adrian even burst out laughing.
Summer felt a little vexed and couldn’t help but swing her fist to jab him, "It’s all your fault!"
Her voice, sweet and coy, made Adrian laugh even more heartily.
It was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Being with her, without needing to do anything particular, just simply spending time together, brought him joy.
Perhaps this is... what love looks like?
Adrian stared at her, his gaze gradually deepening.
Summer accidentally met his eyes, looking into his dark pupils, her heart skipped a beat.
"Darling, we still have many hours until sunrise." His handsome face inclined towards her, holding her small head, guiding her face to meet his, his lips slowly leaned towards her, "We can do many other things..."
His voice, like aged wine, was heavily enticing.
Tonight, Summer was dizzy with intoxication, both from the earlier wine and from him.
Her body pressed against him, she said nothing, arms wrapped around his neck, tiptoeing to kiss him...
...
Their car, parked by the roadside, remained there all night.
From their arrival at the beach the previous night to the next dawn, they never left.
In the middle of the night, the rain by the sea ceased.
At six o’clock, Summer, exhausted and sleepy, drowsily wanted to sleep. A sliver of dawn suddenly penetrated through the darkness on the horizon, soon, the far-off place where the sea meets the sky slowly evolved into a hazy orange, then golden, and finally the entire sun rose gradually.
The sunrise Summer wished to see had finally come.
"Adrian, look! It’s daytime now!" Summer pointed to the sea, prompting him.
"Hmm, a new day, good morning, darling!" Adrian lazily rested an arm on the back of her seat, the smile in his eyes shining like spring light.
His voice was especially deep and hoarse, "good morning" the most ordinary greeting, yet coming from him, carried countless indescribable flavors.
Magnetic, alluring, like honey, sweet enough to make hearts flutter...
Summer turned her head to glance at him, her lips gently curved, "Morning!"
Adrian’s gaze seemed even deeper following her words.
He watched her for a while, cradled her head, drawing her towards himself, looked at her earnestly, and said overbearingly, "Summer, listen to me, no matter what happens, every day from now on, I want to open my eyes with you by my side, hear you say good morning to me, okay?"
