Chapter 200 - Extra 4 - Anniversary Special
For their first trip together, Ren Yi considered Gong Yingxian’s preferences and wanted to choose a place with a strong cultural atmosphere. Gong Yingxian, thinking of Ren Yi’s feelings, wanted to pick a romantic destination. After discussing it, they discovered they both liked something more adventurous, which led to their trip to South Africa.ufuUpGgiIwDkaEeAWFNclgvgaowkub
DBCoaqQvoSjvyqxThis journey was a collision of the primitive and the wild. They saw red deserts in Namibia, the ocean at the Cape of Good Hope, and snow-capped mountains on Kilimanjaro. They drove a jeep across the vast African savanna, following the great animal migration. Their final stop was the Drakensberg Mountains.msQBZMFQymsRgUDgLirtZSFqvjGOfa
lbQqNsTHkrKwujTBoth of them enjoyed hiking and trekking, so instead of visiting tourist spots, they hired a local guide to take them into the mountains for a three-day hiking trip.fPPIXhQhLMTIfivKKQituwqpdYIVgJ
CkimuNZlCoQeVjVDuring the day, they walked and stopped frequently, sometimes studying unfamiliar plants, sometimes flying a drone to enjoy aerial views, and sometimes cooking together over a campfire. At night, they slept in simple tents, and despite being tired from the day’s activities, they still passionately made love. In South Africa, they left passionate marks at almost every place they visited.RIOUDWIPvjJXxysqaeBSinIYvbxgbz
qlvlmnwEtoaMrMgAfter seeing the couple kiss, the guide consciously kept his distance, making it feel like they were alone in the vast mountains most of the time.EImIEHuglFkhrpJJiDvZXnOMncFwlW
ufEqVtKOHmrZRyR“This guide walks so fast,” Ren Yi said, unable to see him anymore. “With our stamina, most people can’t keep up, but he’s even faster than us.”qKrDfAlArsLdDpjVXmsBofsmfQEuji
mIGkakecIfWDFqU“He’s a local, running up and down the mountains all day, of course he’s fast,” Gong Yingxian said, taking out a tissue from his pocket to wipe the sweat from Ren Yi’s forehead. “Are you tired? Want to rest?”haGLiYaiDoRWepurxdFOzzRegiBzKN
sYvKPZKrbapsLse“Sure, let’s have some water.”ENqGPYrAKyJhcrLOvMYMtigTHGhoCI
vCOCdlyBtPZWJHuThey sat down on the ground, with Ren Yi leaning against a rock behind him, taking a deep breath. “The air is so nice here.”ldGEsINtnlLeKFZSSSXJsAVeefObDP
XlCJvNiQloEMgDMGong Yingxian handed him the water.WGTqMMaDkhytCmFOVGyUSSKXIzJfJI

hpSJiomCgYCxHZaGong Yingxian opened his backpack and first pulled out a carefully wrapped pillow.bypMusZeEIMlUVTkxgAQXLkiBugBqu
ZheYdALePtpmkGkEvery time Ren Yi saw this pillow, he couldn’t help but tease, “You know, if you didn’t bring this pillow, you could fit several bags of chips in there.”nIIGFinhBHmlAGgMzGvrUlvmWTNKBi
YHXciBfsvUuCWBBGong Yingxian glanced at him. “Don’t you use it too?”dcSPbqsLgAXyrcgmmtYUxsJFLosgFS
hAHzTMLRaswxYdb“I don’t care for it,” Ren Yi said with a grin. “I’d rather use my husband’s arm as a pillow. It’s better than that thing.”CVwfVOfeNjrblDJDkFCEctVnOyOGbz
SIDZLmJMOgOnBruGong Yingxian smiled. “I don’t know who fights me for the pillow in the middle of the night.”MuvbYjnNeaQhYIKCzclqornUyFdWeq
adkTwFBiPUutNUiRen Yi brought the water bottle to Gong Yingxian’s lips. “Have some.”WUMLGtEuiFjtplcaFdPqJrDBDBJLrH
UENUeDsVeGfowJOGong Yingxian’s lips touched the bottle briefly, then changed his mind and said softly, “I want you to feed me.”DhIWwXUVXrmbhDnfUxlkBJBjtHQuMF
axXcasGmVQmaHAYRen Yi leaned in and whispered, “Do you want to kiss me or drink water?”EWUqHDOVRlTStvYieqleIVpqvMKJVi
LeDjXEaHbQgBSBCGong Yingxian held the back of Ren Yi’s head and pressed his lips against his, answering with action. They kissed passionately under the gentle sunlight and warm mountain breeze, their love seemingly inexhaustible, wanting to touch, be intimate, and possess each other at any time.OGjMFdUhVaoPYjJjymfXcVMDeThXRN
LnqjEHEjPfdiQIXRen Yi placed his hand over Gong Yingxian’s pounding heart through his jacket. “We’ve been so tired these past two days, how are you still so ‘energetic’?”foWOUWmAdMUOFZRIROArgGwnMyMYWC
RNgGrvqGomEVcEgGong Yingxian licked Ren Yi’s soft, wet lips, looking unsatisfied. “I’m not tired. Are you? If you’re tired, we can rest.”kDLdCGCLiVmDMqkMLZBMolFtDZlbxU
FaUrwVgByOqxzhv“You’re not being a clean freak now? Not complaining about the tent being uncomfortable? Not saying the river isn’t clean enough to bathe in?” Ren Yi teased. “Is it because it feels so good outdoors that you can tolerate all of this?”blARjVkFzVHogIoCtQNaSAvAXfGUdm
eiKdHoVAvAOjiCbGong Yingxian’s eyelashes fluttered, a smile he couldn’t suppress playing on his lips. “Yes, I like it.”uxbQHvjJMXmZQcorNqzRrBimhwGrJB
ppIrBgFVWcGRaiz“I was right, you’re just lustful,” Ren Yi said suggestively, pinching Gong Yingxian. “I really don’t know how you survived those twenty-five years as a virgin.”rBwhSMxoSEfHLoTyRIanWXyYgNzkkQ
KsuzubnHIwMfQcBGong Yingxian said awkwardly, “Even if I’m lustful… it’s only for you.”LnUPFQgRqzbsOONVebowPrgCNHzghq
LZRegZOmlCDIshHRen Yi found Gong Yingxian’s slightly shy expression extremely cute and couldn’t help but kiss him. “You’re so good.”UafVhInhzhKAChrZFLRcbxhAzHXDYV
ZzopfUdRCjhOXLOGong Yingxian hugged Ren Yi close. He took off both their gloves and held up their hands wearing matching rings, examining them carefully in the sunlight. Their long fingers stretched towards the sun like resilient branches, letting the light filter through the gaps and fall on their skin, spreading warmth. Gong Yingxian felt peaceful and content, knowing that what bound him to Ren Yi for life wasn’t just these small circular bands, but they were excellent witnesses.LBzJoeUMFtOTmNcGtWAQRmwqWwHPdi
lKHtAmNSvDQQiXu“These rings are really beautiful. What brand are they?” Ren Yi asked. “I don’t know much about brands, but I want to know about these.” The rings were simple and elegant but looked high-end.EtgKcBIyNhlayKLiDEuemxIEhKYuPY
BmdReiECJSqbzQt“I had them custom-made by a Van Cleef & Arpels designer. They’re one of a kind,” Gong Yingxian said, lowering his head to kiss the corner of Ren Yi’s mouth, then his cheeks and ears, as if he couldn’t get enough.AdSqNEjdCkWfclwbNqJPbRzaBjCqFk
QXVPdJPNsZQyfeGRen Yi laughed. “That’s so extravagant! Was it necessary?”lRsXhZuFbpPHsJcnjQwosgEVnOsbcP
DHcpwETYccWRunp“Yes, I wanted to give you the best and something unique,” Gong Yingxian replied. He wanted to offer Ren Yi everything he could possibly give.ZCGkNQlMyOrLtusRpvPjivANaQligd
zMnBDEekzrBlAcmRen Yi leaned into Gong Yingxian’s embrace, looking at the azure sky and the vast valley, and said softly, “It’s so quiet. It feels like we’re the only ones left in the world.”opSbGLHCzuEpXJHBfOCJfqXsMHOBnF
ybXbWJAHHywFFRr“That wouldn’t be bad,” Gong Yingxian said. Even if the world were to end the next second, he felt he would have no regrets.tWRoVMppLNDaRdUUqqTHehjwXMAQFZ
eudqGnZPUHzRRXR“I’ve been so happy these days. I’ve never had this much fun before,” Ren Yi said, a bit embarrassed. “It must have cost a lot, right?”FPNQJPDGLlCwMaThbmMRxUrdEADTVj
PakqNrPxHerbENK“Don’t worry about that,” Gong Yingxian said, resting his chin on Ren Yi’s shoulder and gently rubbing his ring with his fingertip. “Money has no value to me. The only thing that gives it value is spending it on you.”iUrjlaznChHMPJsMaiGyrlQNnAwrbt
kgMFwhlchFslPyBRen Yi teased, “Damn rich people.”PjIcHXxaFJnSLdyXdMFZQiFGMjMQFL
krtTwNdWwgMdJBrGong Yingxian narrowed his eyes slightly, like a cat basking in the sun with its belly exposed. Every eyelash seemed to write comfort and satisfaction, as if he might fall asleep holding the person in his arms.lNjDFArbDacDtIeWnbhvayCBqRWdMT
lXIcevHNaBlZpXg“Hey, let’s shout something!” Ren Yi suddenly suggested.LnBnCXWuLThsOAjExMrZxbWkuXtVPS

YyDFGKpzcuSZZADGong Yingxian quickly stood up, threw Ren Yi over his shoulder, and ran towards the cliff.GjDtzalKswxSNnCSzjaJsMPhSywQYR

gQrARrBnaFWqZrOGong Yingxian stopped right at the edge of the cliff and put the yelling Ren Yi down. “That’s for scaring me.”TsnqnHHKQcJnyJRNyBvsLXJlarXRbB
JyYVKHIdyVRMLQB“You’re so petty,” Ren Yi said, still laughing. “Come on, let’s shout. It’s very stress-relieving.”VeIybBbaKlNKyNePIdFbCneXJnhSeF

MKarXaojvMXIfmyGong Yingxian, as if throwing caution to the wind, shouted, “I love you—”LHLvhaLljVfdzSZfpvjRvivNXILZJb
jRHnWElLLhqCCPtRen Yi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, laughing so hard he could barely stand straight.ujdVhEavbHmJBDwyNGJESBapkgmqgK
qMtdwzLfBQkpBntGong Yingxian kicked him angrily. “What are you laughing at! You told me to shout.”PCDDlvHXTUXcIzQcfurBeIKTqmrQTh
MdSvucVawttseeK“Who knew you would… hahaha…” Ren Yi sometimes felt like he was dating an elementary school student. Gong Yingxian always loved him in such a pure, straightforward, and unguarded way, trying to be romantic with methods he must have learned from somewhere, though the effect often turned into laughter. But Ren Yi was still moved, still felt his heart full of happiness.fSbmtTDUEYNqoTOQSxerZnlTsZUtsz
LVRmlBjBsueSWXFGong Yingxian’s face started to turn red. “Do you… think my proposal at the cemetery wasn’t good? I can do it again…”zlUhkZlEgYozGlaPpIyzlNJZDHMKfs
SIZjsSmKkYYkZkqRen Yi stopped laughing. He cupped Gong Yingxian’s face and kissed him hard. “No, I think it was perfect. Having your parents and sister as witnesses made it the most romantic and sincere proposal in the world.”YVnelVjXWsVqqIGJwfVPnjOHbimlAG
LtifkOUiWpLgygPGong Yingxian’s eyes immediately filled with joy.XEihxahnOMWYsbGuuXGtOGUXiiaqwJ

qyCzBZDyPxliMKKRen Yi laughed at himself after shouting. He held Gong Yingxian’s hand, making their rings rub and clink against each other. “Now you’re not the only one who’s embarrassed, right?”ztILPJRDuwCjCDyZFfLraYPoSbyWdv
KcUvWentfBtZDff“Saying I love you isn’t embarrassing,” Gong Yingxian said, leaning in to bite Ren Yi’s ear and threatening, “But if you dare laugh at me again, I’ll make you unable to walk tomorrow night.”csgTrfWlQyhdOlQNDTsQzcyfnRFRDW
nYbuCGsYWohZNyt“I wouldn’t dare,” Ren Yi said, scared because he knew Gong Yingxian could actually do it.WhaSopjmXqsJKaKEywgsLMYjElPxig
