“Ahhh this is so exciting.” Ning squealed before peeping through the brown picnic basket that was kept right in front of them.

Yichan awkwardly scratched his forehead and explained, “Well, I don’t know how to make anything so I thought we could have a dry picnic but I did cut a few strawberries for you.” Looking into the basket, Yichan took out a box of fresh and finely sliced strawberries. ​​

“I swear I’ll take you on a real picnic after we return back.”

Ning smiled and nodded her head. “Thank you so much Yi. All of this is really very beautiful.”

Yichen smiled and opened the lid of the box. Picking up a slice, he slowly started feeding Ning.

The sky was covered with stars and the light yet cold breeze made the atmosphere more romantic and lovely.

With her arms wrapped around his and her head placed on his shoulder, Ning took a deep breath and sighed. “I wish we could stay here forever.”

Kissing the top of her head, Yichan smiled. “Well we can if you want to. I mean may be not here but some other island.”

“Both of us have responsibilities to fulfil. Grandpa is getting old and I don’t want him to take all the pressure of the company all by himself. I know he won’t at any cost pass on his position to my father. He has been waiting for me to take over his position and deal with the company affairs.” Ning explained.

Pausing for a while, Ning added, “And even you have responsibilities to fulfil. We can’t be selfish and just think about ourselves”

Yichan nodded his head and agreed. “We will do whatever you say. If you want to stay here away from all the problems and everyone, we will stay here. If you want to go back then we will go back.”

Lifting her head, Ning turned towards Yichan. “Why are you so good to me?”

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Yichan caressed her cheeks. “Because you are my girlfriend and my girlfriend deserves all the happiness in the world.”

Without waiting for her reply, Yichan added, “Ning I know all of this seems very unreliable and unrealistic. Maybe you are thinking that I am treating you well because it has just been you and me for so many months. We eat together, spend so much time together and also share the same bed. Maybe you have doubts about my feelings towards you but I swear that my feelings for you are genuine.”

Holding her hand, he continued, “I have never felt this way for any other woman. Whenever I am with you, a new kind of feeling and sensation spreads all over my heart. I feel giddy, my heart skips several beats, I feel butterflies- wait not only butterflies, I feel all kinds of flies when I am with you. I am so used to you being around me and doing all those cute little things that you always do. You know the way you hold onto me when you are asleep, the way you secretly and slyly steak kisses from me, the way you puff your cheeks when you are angry or pout your lips when you want something from me. Everything about you is so cute and beautiful. I just can’t get enough of it.”

Kissing the back of her hand, Yichan continued, “I don’t know what will happen after we leave this place but I know one thing and I am very sure about it is that I want to be with you everywhere whether here or anywhere else.”

Taking out something from his pocket, Yichan placed it on his palm and extended it towards Ning. “So Ms Yang Ning, will you become my permanent girlfriend even after we return back? Will you continue this blissful relationship with me even after we leave this island after one and a half months? Are you willing to always be with me?”

With tears threatening to pour out of her eyes, Ning bit her lower lip and vigorously nodded her head.
