I Want A Lifetime With You

Shi Nuan couldn’t help but chuckle and swatted Fu Chengyan’s hands away. “You and your cheeky mouth. Alright, it’s getting late. Since we’re not going to watch a movie, let’s head home instead.”

It was already pretty late. The two of them had been walking by the riverside for over an hour without even realizing it. The whole area was quite pretty especially in this early winter period, with people walking about and dim streetlights reflecting off the river surface.

It had been a while since Shi Nuan had experienced such peace and quiet. She had been running back and forth a lot before, being tossed around in many different places. And though she had Fu Xicheng and his support, she still felt helpless when it came to dealing with her family. But ever since she got together with Fu Chengyan, he was so powerful that she no longer felt helpless or at a loss. As long as he was with her, it was as if she would never be lost ever again.

“What are you thinking about?”

Fu Chengyan gripped Shi Nuan’s hands, having noticed that her mind had gone somewhere else.

Shi Nuan snapped out of it and noticed a young couple was walking across the bridge. The girl’s head was tilted, and she was grabbing onto the boy’s coat with one hand while staggering along. Shi Nuan giggled.

“Why’re you laughing?”

“I just think that the world is really beautiful!” said Shi Nuan. She then saw the boy squat down and put his hands behind him, getting into position. The girl’s face beamed with contentment. She backed away a few steps, raised her bulky skirt, and took a running jump onto the boy’s back.

However, the girl likely jumped too hard and nearly took the boy down with her.

Shi Nuan could hear the boy inhale sharply, but he grabbed onto the girl in time and steadied himself. She then heard the boy nagging, “You’re too rash. It’s a good thing I caught you. What would have happened if I didn’t!”

Yet, the girl just giggled and wrapped her arms around the boy’s neck, then patted him on the shoulder. “Get up! You promised to give me a piggyback!” The boy could only sigh and got back into position. “What would have happened if I hadn’t caught you?”

“I would’ve fallen. And I would’ve grabbed on to you while I fell.”

“Hey!”

“Together for better or worse, remember?”

With that, the boy piggybacking the girl walked further and further away. Shi Nuan couldn’t help but start laughing.

Fu Chengyan was standing next to Shi Nuan. When he saw Shi Nuan’s face beaming with laughter, his gaze became more intense. “Do you want to try?”

“What?” Shi Nuan looked confused. “Try? Try what?”
