SM Notebook - Married Life (Part 27)

The sunrays shone through the curtains, lighting the whole bedroom. Xiang-Zhe stroked the hair of his doting wife, loving the way her hair stayed in his palm. He had awoken before dawn, he was used to sleeping late and rising early due to his workload. No adjustments to his daily routine despite knowing Sun-Mei, only that he was no longer eager to get out of bed.

He loved the moments of watching her, holding her and waiting for her to wake. His love for her had not diminished one bit, even after their marriage, only fallen deeper in love. The sight of her when he opened his eyes every morning, the ability to touch her, to kiss her... ...was too wonderful for words. Even by dedicating my whole life to love, care or suffer, I still wouldn't be able to fully express my gratitude and affection...

"Ring~~~ Ring~~~ "

The ringing of the phone woke her up, she opened her sleepy eyes but saw a long arm reached past her and picked up the phone. She looked at herself covered only with the blanket and took another look at the half naked body partially on top of her, then she recalled what happened last night and blushed instantly. Despite that they were married for quite some time, intimate moments made her feel embarrass nevertheless...

"Is that Xiang-Zhe? Hey, it's me..., did I wake you up?" Xian-Da was on the other side.

"It's alright..., so what caused you to call so early?" He glanced over at Sun-Mei, found her awoke and gave her a smile of content.

"Don't blame me for shattering your wonderful dreams but on the sake of that 5 minutes consolation, now it's your turn to congrats me for 5 minutes." Xian-Da sounded excited.

"Just what is the matter that made you so happy?" That caught his curiosity.

"I'm going to be a dad," announced Xian-Da haughtily.

"Really? Oh, that's excellent news. Congratulations to both of you!" He smiled, truly happy for his old friends.

"How about it, Director Yin? I won you again, haven't I told you before, the ginger is better when old? Ha Ha..." Xian-Da took the opportunity to tease him again.

"Ok..., ok..., I admit defeat..., sure no problem..., I will definitely treat both of you to dinner another day..." He spoke with all smiles, hung up, turned over and gave Sun-Mei a morning kiss.

"What was the good new?" She asked sweetly, presented with daily morning kisses, why wouldn't it be delightful?

His big hand swept and placed her head onto his shoulder, "Yong-Xi is pregnant, he was so happy till he lost sleep so he called this early to show off."

"That was indeed lovely!" She jumped up with joy.

"What's so good about it? He managed to get married first, and now he beat me again in having a child..." He let out a sigh of disbelief.

"You compare on these matters?" Sometimes xue zhang can be such a kid.

"It must have been me, not putting enough effort!" With that, he tossed and landed on top of her, "it seems like we have to buck up!"

She pushed him back by his shoulders, "No...! Get up quickly! You have forgotten about our Sunday date!"

"But we can always change the venue...to our bed..." He suggested.

"No! You promised me to have a picnic today." She pushed him harder.

Sigh! He only had himself to blame, so brainy to invent a Sunday date for them so he dragged himself reluctantly off the bed and put on his robe. However, his elegant movement attracted Sun-Mei, xue zhang is really handsome, the distinct body outline, the muscular chest, the well-shaped pair of legs, they looked as perfect as a sculpture...

Sensing her observations, he responded wickedly, "Miss Zhen Sun-Mei, I'm afraid we might not go anywhere if you continue to admire me..."

Sun-Mei got frightened by his statement and hurried into the bathroom. He guffawed after seeing her adorable escape of fear.


Xiang-Zhe and Sun-Mei had reserved Sunday as their date, nothing special about it. Just like any couple in love, they strolled, travelled, had picnics, went shopping, caught a movie and attended an outdoor concert...spending quality time together was just that straightforward! Time of pleasure always passed quickly, dusk soon replaced the day; they stood side-by-side watching the beautiful sunset...

"Mother Nature is so incredible, regardless of dawn, dusk, cloudy or rainy days, they all have their exquisite uniqueness..." She turned and asked, "They are really lovely, aren't they?"

"Yes, really beautiful." He wasn't referring to the sunset, but instead the lovely woman beside him.

Looking at the sunset, she thought aloud, "Everyone has different emotions and perceptions while standing under the same sunset. Some would regard a sunset as a wonderful ending whilst others would be enthusiastic about the new day to follow..."

This moment reminded him of their very first date where the girl was trying her best to farewell her first love, where he experienced an inexplicable heartache...

"What about you? Which type are you?" He hugged her from behind and held her tight against him.

She turned slightly and gave him a pleased smile that told him, her moment of beauty was owed to him. He felt the level of bliss rose in him
"Xue zhang..." Leaning on his chest, she found security and familiarity when a thought suddenly struck her, "What would have become of us if I took the offer and gone to England?" At the same time now, would they have been apart? And looking on at the separate sunset, what sort of loneliness and emotions would they have?

He replied confidentially, "Things will still be the same, nothing will change."

"How would it remain the same...?" She tipped her chin, unable to justify his comments. There should be changes nonetheless, well, at least they wouldn't have gotten married, not being together everyday...

He laughed with a sarcastic tone, "You would have come crying at me, within a week because you can't bear the thought of missing me."

"Ha, of course not. I would definitely study hard and inform you of my well-being."

"En, then I would give my best to terminate the England correspondent contract." His serious tone indicated he meant business.

"How could you abuse your authority?"

"Then? Unless of course, you can bear the thought of having me miss you, to wait for you?" He pouted, not changing his 'intimidating' character, "Anyway, you are destined to marry me!"

The sky darkened as the sun slowly made her exit... No doubt another day had ended but the couple was still enjoying each other's company and welcoming the arrival of their wonderful future...
