A Two-Person Swim in the Mountaintop Pool

The next day.

Gu Lianyin nestled in Lin Yuan's arms, watching the dawn rise over the distant sea. The sun slowly emerging from the horizon made her eyes seem to glow, and her fair, delicate cheeks shimmered with a crystalline luster.

"So beautiful!"

Gu Lianyin exclaimed in wonder. It was her first time seeing the sun rise from the sea, and she deeply etched the beautiful sight into her mind.

In the past, she rarely got up this early, let alone watched the sunrise while still groggy with sleep. For her, it had truly been a test and a torment.

But things were different now. She had Lin Yuan, who gave her limitless motivation to keep going.

Truth be told, it was also Lin Yuan's first time watching a sunrise over the sea. The sunlight turned the ocean golden, its waves glittering brilliantly.

He took out his camera equipment and captured the beauty of that moment.

"Lin Yuan."

Gu Lianyin suddenly lifted her head. Her lashes trembled lightly, and she pressed her lips together. She had something to say, yet could not bring herself to say it.

"Are you thinking of talking about your birthday in a few days?"

Lin Yuan could tell what she wanted to say.

In fact, everything he had been preparing these past few days was for that very reason.

He wanted to give Gu Lianyin an unforgettable birthday surprise.

He only hoped that the surprise would not turn into a scare when the time came.

"Mhm." Gu Lianyin nodded softly. Although that was what she wanted to talk about, there was something else as well.

But that matter was truly difficult for her to bring up. She could not say it aloud and felt shy, since it was a very important moment in her life.
