Marriage First, True Love Later Novel

Chapter 56: Luoxia Town (2)

Although it wasn’t a holiday, since it was still the weekend, the large beach did not have a shortage of tourists. Of course, the crowd mostly consisted of young people. A group of urban, white-collar workers from the neighboring town took advantage of the weekend to relax and relieve work stress.

The two didn’t play in the water wildly. Instead, they simply walked along the beach, and, from time to time, they stood on the beach to feel the waves on their feet. The tide that day wasn’t particularly big or tall. For those looking for a thrill, it might not have been exciting enough, but for Su Yicheng and Anran, the gentle breeze and the tides were just right and were very soothing.

At noon, the two of them ate at the nearby seafood restaurant, which had the freshest seafood in the local area. The chef’s cooking skills were superb. Perhaps it was because the restaurant had close access to fresh seafood.

Having eaten lunch, the two of them sailed the sea on a small speedboat. The boat wasn’t going particularly fast, and frankly, there wasn’t much to look at. They simply sat on the speedboat while feeling the sea breeze and the aura of the sea.

The two of them sat side by side without talking and occasionally smiled at each other wordlessly.

While the speedboat was heading back to shore, a girl on the same boat suddenly approached them, and, looking straight at Su Yicheng, she took a deep breath as if to muster the courage, then asked sheepishly, “C-can I take a picture with you?”

Anran and Su Yicheng both stared at her blankly, then turned to each other in confusion, and finally turned around to look at the girl quizzically.

Seeing their confusion, the girl explained quickly, “Don’t misinterpret me. It’s just that I thought you looked really similar to a Korean male star, so I wanted to take a picture with you. That’s all.”

Another girl came up behind as well and said, “Yeah, yeah, he looks like Zhang Dongjian from the side. We are all fans of Zhang Dongjian, so we would like to take a picture with his lookalike.” Then, she turned to Anran and asked, “Do you mind, sister?”

Anran was caught off guard by the question and was even more embarrassed at being called sister. Women really were sensitive about age, especially when it came to women younger than themselves. She turned around to see Su Yicheng with a smirk on his face. Seeing that he didn’t seem to care about having his picture taken and actually appeared to enjoy the attention somewhat frustrated Anran. She glared at him mockingly and seemed to be teasing him about his popularity with women.

Seeing that Anran didn’t utter a single word, the girl standing aside asked again, “Sister won’t be so stingy, right? Since it’s really nothing, just a simple picture.”

Anran turned her head to look at her, then smiled as she shook her head and said, “Of course I won’t mind; it’s just a picture. Besides, I’m happy that my brother is so popular with women.”

......

“He’s not your boyfriend?”

“He’s not your boyfriend?”

The two girls standing aside gasped in unison.

To be honest, they had noticed this man as soon as they got on the boat because he was so extraordinarily handsome—not just his appearance, but the vibe he gave off, as well. His outstanding qualities made him instantly noticeable among the crowd. While they were on the boat, they were watching the two of them, and the girls couldn’t help but revere over how the two of them seemed to be made for each other. The man was handsome, while the woman was beautiful. They also noticed how that the man and woman were walking hand in hand, so even though there weren’t many public displays of affection between the two of them, it was obvious to anyone watching that they were a couple.

Yet what did this woman just say? Brother? They were not lovers, but actually brother and sister?

“You two are brother and sister?” Although she herself said so, the girls still couldn’t help feeling a little incredulous. After all, what siblings were so intimate with each other that they actually held hands?

Upon hearing this, Anran turned to see Su Yicheng’s reaction and saw that his eyebrows frowned a little, and he stared at her with discontent, appearing somewhat resentful. Seeing his reaction somehow triggered the mischief within her. Anran smiled at him coquettishly, then turned her head toward the two girls and said naughtily, “Yeah, he’s my brother. I actually do have a boyfriend, who is much more handsome than him. “Then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she pretended to exclaim, “By the way, my boyfriend also looks like a famous Korean star, Song Chengxian. Do you two know Song Chengxian? Everyone says my boyfriend looks like Song Chengxian.”

“Really?”

“Really?”

They exclaimed in unison again, and Anran couldn’t help but think that, from how impressionable and gullible these two girls appeared, they were probably barely out of college.

Suppressing her laughter, Anran nodded firmly. “Of course, it’s true.”

The two girls gaped at her with a mixture of envy, jealousy, and awe.

“I’m so envious of you. I’m a fan of Song Chengxian as well.”

“Oh, I am a fan of him too.”

Anran stared at the two impressionable girls, and by now she could barely suppress the overwhelming urge to burst out laughing. Yet, just as she was about to lose control and start laughing, suddenly Su Yicheng swung her into his arms. Then, before she even had the chance to react, he planted a deep and passionate kiss on her red lips. Yet this kiss wasn’t as soft and tender as his usual kisses and was actually much more aggressive, forceful, and intense than usual as if he was trying to punish her.

Su Yicheng bit into her soft and tenders lips resentfully, then, with his mouth pressed tightly against her lips, he asked, “When did I become your brother? Huh?”

Now Anran knew what getting a taste of one’s own medicine felt like, and since she couldn’t defend or excuse herself, she tried to push him away, but her strength was no match against his. Just as she opened her mouth in an attempt to explain, he seized the chance to press his lips against hers again to block out all of her excuses.

To Anran, the kiss felt like it lasted half a century long. Just as she was about to suffocate from lack of air, Su Yicheng finally let go of her. Although Su Yicheng’s own chest was heaving up and down as well, he didn’t forget to threaten her as he panted heavily, “Do you dare talk such nonsense n-next time?”

Yet he didn’t need to threaten her with what would happen next time, because she was already regretting it from sheer embarrassment and was so ashamed that she buried her face into his chest for fear of making eye contact with anyone on the boat. At that moment, she was truly grateful that she didn’t know anyone in this town, or else ten holes wouldn’t be enough for her to bury herself in due to shame.

The two girls that were standing there had witnessed the entire scene and were too stunned to react for the moment. The two girls simply stared at them blankly with their eyes wide open.

Su Yicheng glanced at Anran in his arms with amusement and resentment, then looked up toward the two girls standing aside and smiled as he nodded at them.

“Sorry, my wife really likes to joke around. I hope you two don’t mind. In addition, as for the pictures, I would actually like to decline. My wife is really prone to jealousy, and I don’t want to sleep on the sofa when I get home.”

With her head still buried in Su Yicheng’s chest, Anran muttered in a low voice, “I’m not jealous.”
