Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Yu Lili felt a sense of contentment in her heart. She sent the photo that she had taken moments before to Ou Ming’s inbox and tapped him on his shoulder. “Pass me your phone.”
Ou Ming was a little surprised at her request. She had never asked to look at his phone.
Is she scrutinizing me?
His lips turned up in a smile as he passed the phone to her. “Are you trying to catch me red-handed?”
Yu Lili took the phone from him and rolled her eyes as she replied, “Red-handed, my *ss.” She downloaded the picture and posted it online using Ou Ming’s social media account.
Ou Ming wasn’t really fond of posting anything. The last post he had made was: [Happy New Year!]
The post before that was last year’s: [Happy New Year.] Before that, it was the previous year’s: [Happy New Year.]
Yu Lili was speechless as she scrolled through it. “You posted something so mundane, and you received a few hundred likes for that? A boss is indeed treated differently.”
Ou Ming chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. He looked down at his phone is her hands and asked, “What are you doing?”
Yu Lili published the photo and composed the caption in front of Ou Ming: [A day trip with my wife to Hongluo Temple!]
Ou Ming indulged her and gave her free reign of his phone. He took a look at the map and said, “Let’s go up Mount Guanyin. I heard that prayers made up there often come true.”
“I thought you didn’t believe in such stuff,” Yu Lili said.
“Well, I do if you do.” Ou Ming put his arm around her and headed forward.
Yu Lili’s emotions were stirred up. She watched as notifications began popping up on Ou Ming’s phone one after the other.
“Hey look! They’re complimenting me!”
Chairman Wang: [What a handsome man and beautiful woman. Thumbs up!]
KW’s GM Liu: [Ou Ming rarely takes selfies. I bet this was posted by the missus!]
IO Technologies, Miss Guan: [She’s so pretty! Have fun!]
Yu Lili scrolled through the comments giddily before putting the phone away. Cheerily, she made her way up the mountain with Ou Ming.
They climbed up one flight of stairs. Yu Lili’s stamina was quickly proving to be insufficient. Panting, she sat on the floor and protested, “I can’t do it. I can’t go any further.”
“Come on, I’ll carry you on my back,” Ou Ming said.
“No.” Yu Lili objected without a second thought. “Your hand just recovered. It’ll be inhumane of me to make you exert strength on it.”
“Shall I carry you instead?” he asked.
“No, just let me rest for a moment.” Yu Lili sat on the steps trying to catch her breath. A thousand thoughts swirled through her mind. “Ou Ming, do you have any significant regrets?”
“Yeah, I do,” he replied.
“What is it?” she asked.
“I’ll tell you when we reach the top,” Ou Ming said. “I heard that there’s a very tall tower at the peak. Wishes made there come true.”
“Oh.” Yu Lili was still reluctant to get up. “Pull me up. I can’t get up on my own.”
Ou Ming smiled and pulled her up. “Your stamina is so poor. Let’s start training at the Great Wall tomorrow.”
“No way!” Yu Lili objected without even thinking. She dragged her feet as she pushed herself forward.
When they reached the peak, the winds were strong. As the gusts of wind blew, they felt the chill hitting them.
Yu Lili hugged Ou Ming as she shivered from the cold and said, “Tell me now!”
“Make a wish first!” Ou Ming didn’t forget their purpose for coming.
Yu Lili refused to let go of Ou Ming and yelled down the mountain, “I want a child!”
I want a child…
Want a child…
A child…
The echo reverberated around the limitless open space. Yu Lili hollered again, “Ou Ming, I want to bear your child!”
Ou Ming held her in his arms and chuckled. “Given the way you’re yelling, the goddess Guanyin is going to get frightened off!”
“It’s your turn! Yell it out!” Yu Lili pestered. “The goddess Guanyin isn’t going to wait for you. Tell it to her quickly!”
“OK” Ou Ming put his arm around her and shouted into the distance, “I want to be together with Yu Lili forever!”
With Yu Lili in his arms, he didn’t say anything else after that.
Yu Lili panicked and said, “What about a child? Tell her we want children!”
“I don’t really care about that.”
