Chapter 182 Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen
On May 520th, the sunlight sneaked into Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen's new home even before the alarm clock. This was their first May 520th since moving into their cozy little nest, and both of them secretly hoped to spend a super unforgettable holiday.
Li Shiqing groggily opened her eyes and turned her head to see Zhang Chen's magnified face, which startled her so much that she almost screamed. "What are you doing? You're so scary first thing in the morning!" she said, slapping Zhang Chen's shoulder in annoyance.
Zhang Chen grinned and leaned in to kiss her on the cheek. "Baby, Happy 520! Today is our special day, and I'm going to make you a super luxurious breakfast!"
Li Shiqing raised an eyebrow with a hint of disbelief. "You? Can you even make something edible? I don't want to end up in the hospital getting my stomach pumped first thing in the morning."
"Don't worry! I've been secretly learning online for a long time, I guarantee you'll be amazed!" Zhang Chen jumped out of bed with confidence, put on an apron, and rushed into the kitchen.
Li Shiqing also became interested and followed behind him, ready to "supervise." Zhang Chen stood in front of the stove, facing a pile of ingredients, and half of his confidence vanished instantly. He picked up an egg and carefully tapped it on the edge of a bowl, but he tapped too hard, and the whole egg fell into the bowl, the yolk shattering.
"Oops, my bad." Zhang Chen laughed awkwardly, frantically starting to whisk the eggs. Li Shiqing laughed so hard she almost fell over. "Haha, are you making steamed eggs or fried eggs?"
Zhang Chen snorted defiantly, "Don't rush, the best is yet to come!" He turned on the stove, poured in some oil, and the oil started splattering everywhere as soon as it hit the pan. Startled, Zhang Chen jumped back, almost bumping into Li Shiqing behind him.
"My God, are you blowing up the kitchen or cooking?" Li Shiqing covered her mouth, laughing so hard that tears were almost coming out.
Zhang Chen's face flushed red, but he steeled himself and poured the beaten eggs into the pan. The eggs quickly expanded in the pan, and he said triumphantly, "See, it went pretty smoothly!"
But before he could even enjoy his excitement, the eggs started to smoke. "Oh no, they're burnt!" Zhang Chen frantically tried to stir-fry them, but ended up making a complete mess of eggs.
Li Shiqing couldn't stand it any longer, so she stepped forward and snatched the shovel from his hand. "Let me do it. This is a disaster."
After Li Shiqing's skillful preparation, a delicious breakfast was finally served. Looking at the colorful and fragrant food, Zhang Chen scratched his head sheepishly, "Honey, you're amazing. Looks like I still need to hone my cooking skills for a few more years."
Li Shiqing smiled, picked up a piece of bread, and held it to his mouth. "Okay, although the process was a bit bumpy, I appreciate your kindness. Try it and see if my cooking suits your taste."
Zhang Chen took a bite and gave an exaggerated thumbs up, "It's so delicious! Honey, you're a culinary genius!"
The two chatted and laughed as they ate breakfast, creating a warm atmosphere throughout the kitchen.
After breakfast, the two walked hand in hand to a nearby park. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting golden dappled patterns on the ground. A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers.
Li Shiqing took a deep breath and exclaimed, "It's been so long since I've had such a leisurely walk. It feels so good."
Zhang Chen nodded, "Yes, let's relax and enjoy this wonderful time today."
As they walked, they saw a small stall selling food. Li Shiqing's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Zhang Chen's hand, saying, "I want to eat!"
Zhang Chen smiled and playfully pinched her nose. "Okay, I'll buy it for you." He walked to the stall, bought an extra-large one, and handed it to Li Shiqing.
Li Shiqing happily accepted it and ate it in big bites. Before long, her lips were covered in sugar strands. Zhang Chen couldn't help but laugh at her adorable appearance.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Shiqing looked at him in confusion.
Zhang Chen took out a tissue and gently wiped the sugar residue from the corner of her mouth. "You, you can eat so messily, like a little kid."
Li Shiqing pouted, "I've always been your child!"
The two continued their stroll in the park. When they passed a small lake, Zhang Chen saw a boat rental area by the lake. His eyes lit up, and he said to Li Shiqing, "Honey, let's go boating!"
Li Shiqing hesitated for a moment, "I don't know how to row a boat. What if we capsize?"
Zhang Chen patted his chest and said, "I'm here, what are you afraid of! I'm a rowing expert, I guarantee you'll have a great time."
After Zhang Chen's persuasion, Li Shiqing finally agreed. The two rented a small boat, and Zhang Chen skillfully rowed it, slowly moving it towards the center of the lake.
Li Shiqing sat at the bow of the boat, admiring the beautiful scenery around her, feeling exceptionally relaxed. Suddenly, she saw a flock of ducks swimming across the lake and excitedly pointed at them, saying, "Look, ducks! How cute!"
Zhang Chen looked in the direction she pointed and said with a mischievous grin, "Look at that little duck, it's just as silly as you."
Li Shiqing glared at him. "You're the one who's stupid! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll push you into the lake to feed the ducks!"
Zhang Chen quickly begged for forgiveness, "I was wrong, I was wrong, my baby is the smartest and cutest."
The two chatted and laughed as they rowed their boat on the lake, enjoying a pleasant time.
After leaving the park, Zhang Chen suggested going to a few popular spots for couples to take photos. Li Shiqing immediately perked up at the suggestion; she's a photography fanatic and loves taking pictures in all sorts of beautiful places to post on social media.
They arrived at their first photo spot, a graffiti wall brimming with artistic flair. The wall was covered in colorful and beautiful drawings. Li Shiqing stood in front of the graffiti wall, striking various poses for Zhang Chen to take her pictures.
Zhang Chen held his phone, diligently taking pictures of her, but the photos were always unsatisfactory. Either the angle was bad, or Li Shiqing looked strangely shaped in the photos.
Looking at the photo, Li Shiqing stomped her feet in anger. "What's wrong with you? You can't even take a good picture! You made someone as beautiful as me look like an ugly monster!"
Zhang Chen said, feeling wronged, "I've already tried my best, maybe my photography skills still need improvement. Could you teach me?"
Li Shiqing sighed helplessly, "Okay, I'll demonstrate for you." She took the phone, found the best angle for herself, adjusted the lighting, and then pressed the shutter. A beautiful photo was instantly taken.
"See? When taking photos, you need to pay attention to the angle and lighting to make the people look beautiful," Li Shiqing patiently explained to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen listened attentively, and then took several more photos of her following Li Shiqing's instructions. The photos turned out much better this time, and Li Shiqing nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm, not bad this time. It seems you do have some understanding," Li Shiqing said with a smile.
The two took many photos in front of the graffiti wall, and then went to the next photo spot. It was a street corner covered with colorful balloons, very romantic. Li Shiqing was immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery as soon as she arrived there.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful! It's a perfect spot for taking photos!" Li Shiqing exclaimed excitedly.
Seeing her happy expression, Zhang Chen felt a warmth in his heart. He took out his phone, ready to take a picture of Li Shiqing. But just then, a strong gust of wind blew, causing the balloons to sway wildly, and some even flew away.
Li Shiqing looked at the balloon that had flown away with a disappointed expression. "Oh dear, I finally found such a beautiful place, but the balloon has flown away."
Zhang Chen comforted her, saying, "It's okay, baby. We can take pictures from a different angle, and we can still take beautiful photos."
Encouraged by Zhang Chen, Li Shiqing cheered up again. They found a suitable spot on the street corner and continued taking photos. Although some balloons flew away, they still managed to take many creative and sweet pictures.
The day flew by, and before they knew it, it was evening. Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen walked home, a little tired, but their faces were filled with happy smiles.
As they passed a flower shop, Zhang Chen suddenly stopped and said to Li Shiqing, "Honey, wait for me here for a moment." Then he went into the flower shop.
A moment later, Zhang Chen came out carrying a large bouquet of roses. He walked up to Li Shiqing, knelt on one knee, and said affectionately, "Baby, today is May 520th, a day full of love. Although I'm sometimes clumsy and make you angry, my love for you has never changed. I hope to always be with you, through every spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and create more beautiful memories with you."
Li Shiqing looked at Zhang Chen in front of her, her eyes welling up with tears. She nodded vigorously.
Zhang Chen stood up, handed the roses to Li Shiqing, and then hugged her tightly. Passersby cast envious glances and applauded.
Hand in hand, they continued walking home. The afterglow of the setting sun bathed them in its light, creating a warm and romantic scene. On this special 520, they spent a day filled with laughter and emotion, adding a vibrant chapter to their love story.
After returning home, Li Shiqing put the roses in a vase, and then sat on the sofa with Zhang Chen, reminiscing about the day's events.
"I'm so happy today, thank you, Chenchen," Li Shiqing said softly, leaning against Zhang Chen's chest.
Zhang Chen gently stroked her hair. "Silly girl, why are you being so polite with me? I'll do anything to make you happy. I'll be by your side every 520 from now on, bringing you more surprises and touching moments."
Li Shiqing looked up at Zhang Chen's eyes and said, "I believe in you. We will definitely be happy together forever."
They smiled at each other and then gently kissed. On this sweet night, their love blossomed like a flower, radiating its most dazzling brilliance.
