Chapter 177 "So, brother, if you break your promise, I will punish you."
In the gentle light of the morning sun, two figures stood quietly under the old locust tree. The morning breeze blew gently, bringing a bit of the chill of early spring, but also carrying an unspoken warmth.
They are the unknown secrets of this city. Two hearts, outside the hustle and bustle, quietly intertwine into the most delicate web.
Li Mingxuan is a young entrepreneur with a stern appearance and a gentle heart. His eyes are always as deep as the night, hiding unknown tenderness and determination.
Lin Yichen is the rare sunshine in his life, bright and warm, and his smile can instantly melt everything in the world.
Their meeting seemed to be the most ingenious arrangement of fate, allowing two completely different people to find each other's harbor in the vast sea of people.
"So, baby, don't worry, I will never give up on you."
Li Mingxuan's voice was low and magnetic, without too much embellishment, but every word was loud and clear, as if it was the most sincere promise to Lin Yichen.
His eyes were focused and affectionate, as if he could see through all the uneasiness and anxiety in Lin Yichen's heart.
Lin Yichen's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this. The eyes that were always full of smiles now flashed with uncertainty.
He leaned forward slightly, staring at Li Mingxuan almost greedily, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice:
"Really? Xuan, you really won't leave me?"
Li Mingxuan chuckled, and that smile was as warm as the sunshine in early spring, enough to dispel all the haze in Lin Yichen's heart.
"I promise I will never abandon my baby."
His words were gentle yet firm, like a vow, carried away gently by the morning breeze, yet seemed to be forever engraved in the hearts of the two.
Hearing this, a huge smile finally bloomed on Lin Yichen's face. That smile was like a blooming flower, gorgeous and dazzling.
He threw himself into Li Mingxuan's arms without hesitation, holding his waist tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to merge himself into the other's bones and blood.
"Thank you, brother."
His voice was choked with sobs, evidence of the tears of happiness and emotion welling up in his eyes.
Li Mingxuan's body stiffened slightly, but then relaxed, allowing Lin Yichen to snuggle against his chest.
He felt Lin Yichen's dependence and trust, which was an indescribable happiness and satisfaction.
"Brother, I take what you said seriously."
Lin Yichen leaned his head on Li Mingxuan's shoulder, his tone was a bit coquettish and serious.
"So, brother, if you break your promise, I will punish you."
Hearing this, Li Mingxuan's lips curled up into an indulgent smile. He reached out and gently stroked the back of Lin Yichen's head. The touch felt like touching the softest feather in the world.
"Then may I ask, how are you going to punish me, darling?"
There was a hint of curiosity and anticipation in his tone, as if he was really expecting Lin Yichen's answer.
Lin Yichen chuckled softly, and the laughter was crisp and pleasant, cleansing people's souls like a clear spring in the mountains.
"Of course it's a punishment, brother. You can only eat the food I cook."
There was a hint of playfulness and provocation in his words, as if he had already foreseen Li Mingxuan's reaction after hearing this.
When Li Mingxuan heard this, a complicated look flashed across his face.
He naturally knew Lin Yichen's cooking skills... "unique" might be a more appropriate description.
Those colorful and indescribable "dark dishes" have made him laugh and cry countless times, but when he tasted them, he felt Lin Yichen's full care and love.
At this moment, facing Lin Yichen's "punishment", he fell into silence, which was rare.
However, this silence did not last long.
Li Mingxuan quickly adjusted his mood and once again showed that warm and doting smile.
"Okay, baby, I'm looking forward to your 'punishment'. But before that, shouldn't we enjoy this beautiful morning first?"
As he spoke, he gently took Lin Yichen's hand, and the two walked side by side on the sun-drenched path, leaving behind a string of laughter and figures walking side by side.
As time goes by, the story between the two people is quietly growing.
They experienced countless sunrises and sunsets together, from spring to winter, from youth to maturity.
With Lin Yichen's company, Li Mingxuan learned more gentleness and tolerance; and under Li Mingxuan's guidance, Lin Yichen became stronger and more confident.
Their love, like the old locust tree that witnessed their vows, has deep roots and lush leaves, and lasts forever.
On a starry night, the two came to the old locust tree again.
The moonlight was like water, spreading across the entire courtyard and covering the lovers with a layer of silver gauze.
Li Mingxuan held Lin Yichen's hand tightly and looked at him affectionately:
"Baby, remember the vows we made here? No matter what the future holds, I will never leave you."
Lin Yichen smiled slightly, with happiness shining in his eyes.
"Of course I remember, brother. And I believe you won't break your promise. Because you are not only my lover, but also an indispensable part of my life."
The two smiled at each other, and all the words turned into a deep affectionate gaze at this moment.
They know that no matter how many storms await them in the future, as long as they rely on each other, they will be able to withstand everything in the world.
And the love between them will be like the brightest star in the night sky, always shining brightly and illuminating each other's way forward.
