NovelEnglishIn the pursuit of a happy and beautiful life, all we need is a simple life. A simple life is the most joyous one and nothing can surpass in beauty.
There was a question Xu Mey once asked Ye Jie, ’How can a person become the happiness for another person?’
Back at their first date, he had replied, ’When a person is able to make a smile appear on the other person’s face, that person becomes the happiness for him.’
Today, as she walked barefoot on the beach with his hand intertwined with her own, Xu Mey realized how much reality his words held. ’My happiness is you...’ was a phrase she never understood and now, he was the definition of that phrase for her. He was everything she could wish for but the strange fact was that she never actually wished for him.

For Ye Jie, she had become his happiness a long time ago. What he loved about their relationship were these plain moments they got to share with each other. For instance, he loved this particular moment when he could see a radiant smile on her cherry lips as the waves crashed into her feet making her feel giddy.
Jewel blue sea, a clear sky akin to a silk curtain, the soothing sound of the song that sea waves played and in the middle of it all, his hands held hers in a tight grasp as if afraid to lose his treasure. It was truly a blissful and heart-warming moment.
Perhaps these simple moments were the reason someone wrote; ’A simple hello could lead to a million things.’
Xu Mey pulled Ye Jie a bit away from the waves and made him sit down on the sandy beach. After that, she perched herself down between his legs and leaned back into his embrace.
"Why are you smiling?" Xu Mey tilted her head a bit to ask Ye Jie.
"Because I’m happy." He replied in all honesty.
"And why are you so happy?" Xu Mey asked again.
Ye Jie pinched her small nose and said, "I don’t need to look for reasons any more." Taking a brief pause he lowered his face making his lips brush past her ear and added, "The biggest reason for my happiness is right here."
Xu Mey once thought that simple life would be too boring for someone like her who became accustomed to an adventurous and hectic life. Who knew, being with him will actually change her perspective to a whole new level.

Ye Jie cupped her face in his big hands and answered, "Ask yourself."
"Huh? What did I do?" Xu Mey frowned in confusion.
Ye Jie smiled at her adorable expression and stroked her nose with his own as he whispered, "You’re the thief who broke into my heart. So, you should be asking yourself, not me." Xu Mey was left speechless at his words. Just why was he so damn good with words?
Seeing her scowling a bit, he captured her lips between his own for a kiss. There was no rush. He kissed her at a slow pace, taking his sweet time as if there was no place he’d rather be. And in fact, there was no other place he’d be than being with his baby. His hands tightened around her waist but he didn’t try to lift the hem of her shirt.
The kiss was unlike any other they had before for Xu Mey since his kisses made her feel giddy as he explored her mouth with curiosity like a child. Pulling her closer, he kissed her until she moaned. His kiss made her feel like dancing like a star... The brightest star of his life...
He pulled away a bit and asked, "Do you want to go back?"
Xu Mey’s mind was reeling with that kiss so much so that a simple question’s answer for her was, "Ah-Jie..." Ye Jie laughed into her mouth taking her breath away; at least what was left of it anyway.
With a line of nickel-silver in the horizon, Ye Jie laid back on the sand, pulling her body over himself. Feeling his familiar warmth, Xu Mey’s mind slowly came back from the dreamland. She looked straight into his eyes as if looking for something and when she found what she was looking for, she smiled in satisfaction before hiding her face in the crook of his neck.
