Chapter 44 Fireworks by the Sea
Chapter 44 Fireworks by the Sea
A seaside restaurant with a view of the azure sea through huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
This restaurant specializes in the same dishes served at the State Guesthouse. It blends Chinese and Western elements with Huaiyang cuisine, but places more emphasis on artistic innovation than the menu at the meeting hall.
"Honey, try this jade shrimp."
Lin Yan picked up a piece of shrimp meat and held it to Xier's mouth.
A rich aroma wafts towards you.
She was hungry.
She deliberately stopped eating last night in order to look thinner today.
However, the shapewear had already compressed her to the limit.
Let's not talk about food.
She feels like the zipper will burst open if she drinks even a sip of water now.
Syl looked at the delicious food, her eyes filled with despair.
"Honey……"
She spoke with difficulty.
"I...I'm not hungry, you eat."
She gently pushed Lin Yan's hand away.
Lin Yan froze in mid-air.
"Wife...?"
Lin Yan's voice was unsteady.
"Aren't you going to eat a single bite?"
"Um."
Syl lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
"I'm really not hungry."
Lin Yan: "..."
He put down his chopsticks in a daze.
A major earthquake struck my head.
"It's over."
"It's all over, it ...!"
"Sier is really angry!"
Lin Yan looked at her small face, which was avoiding his gaze.
You know, Syl really loves food!
Such a foodie elf.
When faced with delicious food, you refuse to eat a single bite?
"She's definitely angry; she must think today's date was terrible!"
Lin Yan became increasingly panicked as she thought about it.
"Have I been neglecting her? All I do is try to take advantage of her... Don't you think I'm a bit annoying?"
Lin Yan felt cold sweat breaking out on his back.
He put down his cutlery.
"Wife... I'm sorry."
"It's my fault."
Syl looked up in confusion.
"Darling? What did you say?"
"It's my fault for not considering your feelings today."
Lin Yan said dejectedly.
"If you don't like it, shall we... shall we go back after this meal?"
Syl: "???"
What happened?
Why are you suddenly so down, darling?
She wanted to ask more questions.
But she simply didn't have the strength to speak.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she felt her stomach being squeezed and uncomfortable.
She could only lower her head in silence.
Lin Yan felt even colder seeing her silent demeanor.
Sure enough... she was really unhappy.
evening.
Lin Yan originally planned for the two of them to hold hands and watch the sunset paint the sea red on the beach at low tide, and he had even arranged fireworks in advance.
But now.
Lin Yan walked ahead alone, looking lost and dejected.
Syl followed behind him, taking small steps.
She gritted her teeth and endured it.
It's okay.
The date is almost over.
Just hold on a little longer... and I'll leave my dear with a perfect memory...
However, she looked up.
Then I saw Lin Yan's lonely figure.
Suddenly, Xier's heart clenched.
What happened?
Honey, you seem a little unhappy today?
Was it because she didn't perform well?
She bit her lower lip and quickened her pace.
"Darling..."
She reached out, wanting to tug at his sleeve.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
"careful!!!"
A gasp came from the seaside promenade.
A teenager on a skateboard, out of control, is rushing towards him!
The boy's face had turned pale with fright, and he was waving his hands wildly and shouting.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I can't stop!"
Her instinct to protect her husband overwhelmed everything!
Ignoring the constraints of her shapewear, she rushed forward in one stride!
She hugged Lin Yan and pulled him to the side.
"Bang!!!"
Followed by.
"collapse!"
The zipper on Syl's body burst open.
A sharp, explosive sound rang out from the sil.
The skateboarding boy brushed past Lin Yan and crashed onto the beach.
Lin Yan was stunned.
"Enemy...enemy attack?! Syl! Is your defensive barrier breached? Which dimension's monsters attacked us?!"
His eyes darted around frantically, preparing to retaliate.
However, the final image was fixed on Syl.
Syl stood there.
The dress completely ripped, revealing the shapewear underneath.
And her abstractly thin waist, which had been bound so tightly, was finally freed.
Syl looked down at his own wretched appearance.
Her eyes instantly filled with tears.
This was the grievance she had endured all day.
Unable to play freely, the hunger in my stomach, and the secret of getting fat were thus exposed to my beloved.
"Waaaaaah!"
Syl could hold on no longer.
She burst into tears.
"I ruined my date! My dress doesn't even fit anymore! Waaah~ Don't look at me!"
Syl cried her heart out, covering her face with her hands.
Lin Yan stood there, stunned.
His gaze shifted to the zipper that had been flung off.
Then, his brilliant mind finally began to work.
At this moment, all the clues were connected by an invisible thread!
"This silly girl! I don't know where she picked up this abstract aesthetic, she's been strangling herself all day!"
He hugged Hill, who was still crying loudly.
"Shill! Shill, don't cry!"
His voice was trembling.
"I'm sorry! It's my fault! I was so stupid!"
When he hugged her, Xier cried even more aggrievedly.
"Waaaah, darling, don't look at me..."
"I'm so ugly... I've gotten fat, I'm not good enough for you anymore, waaaaaah!"
Lin Yan held Xier in his arms and gently patted her back.
"Sier, wife, listen to me."
His voice slowed down.
"You're not fat at all; you look best like this."
Syl was still sobbing.
"But...but the zipper..."
"The zipper is a problem with the clothes!"
Lin Yan said firmly.
"If your clothes are too small and you don't change them, are you going to get a new set of bones?"
Lin Yan helplessly covered his forehead.
"Don't let those distorted beauty standards influence you! A real girl like you is the cutest!"
Syl looked up at him, her eyes blurry with tears.
"Really...really?"
"real!"
Lin Yan raised his hand and wiped away the tears on her face.
"Sier, listen to me."
He looked intently into her eyes.
"When you are healthy, you are the most beautiful. You are my beloved Syl, the most beautiful fairy princess in the world."
Syl stared at him blankly.
A tear fell onto his coat.
"……Fool……"
She said in a low voice.
"Shameless... saying such things in public..."
Lin Yan gently pressed her head into his chest.
"Let's go."
He helped her to her feet.
"We're skipping those fancy restaurants today; we're going to eat something truly delicious."
A night market by the sea.
The food truck's sign lit up, and the air was filled with the aroma of cooking.
Syl has stopped crying.
"Gurgle gurgle".
My stomach, which hasn't eaten all day, is now protesting furiously.
Syl blushed and quickly covered her face.
Lin Yan couldn't stop laughing.
Are you hungry?
"Um……"
"Sier whispered."
