Xingyue's POV
After a refreshing sleep, Xi Song and I had left the hotel. Finally, we were on the honeymoon trip, away from all the trouble, stress, work, only us, and the romantic view of Italy.
I couldn't express my feelings. It was like heaven for me. It was chilly, but that too could not stop us from getting lost in those plaintiffs.
I caught a glimpse of Xi Song.
The rays of the sun falling on his face were enhancing his glow, which blocked my mind entirely, doomed to how handsome he looked.
It brought a smile dipped in honey to my face, and I possibly couldn't stop but cherish it.
Holding my hand, he walked around. Until he caught me staring at him.
With a smirk, he commented. "Am I too satisfactory? Or this beautiful view doesn't match your type."
Keep goggling into his eyes, I answered. "It's just you're the most beautiful view for me. Nothing can match the glory of your face, your shiny eyes, and juicy lips."
He was silently enjoying it, but still denied that.
With his fingertip, he poked my nose and turned back to hide those rosy cheeks.
Grinning, I quietly followed him.

Xi Song's POV
While walking, we reached a place full of various stalls. Xingyue was one step ahead of me, looking at stuff curiously.
Her steps halted at a stall. She picked a tiara ornamented with blooms and brought it near her head.
She gazed at me while pointing at the tiara. "Xi Song, how am I looking?"
But how could I tell her words were not enough to describe her beauty? Her face captured me and failed to move my eyes away from her. She had an alluring smile, and with the tiara on her head, she appeared no less than a queen.
One with the most beautiful heart ever.
Lost in her magnificence, it took me time to come out of it. Still, I struggled to find words.
Halting, I tried to make it up for her, but she smiled and gave it to the shopkeeper. "Please, pack it up for me."
Cluelessly, I stared at her, and she answered. "Your eyes said it all."
I looked down with a tiny chuckle and wondered, what life could be more beautiful than this? She even understood without saying it aloud.
The strings of our bond were tighter than I thought.
It was not just about her or me. It was about us and our world.
I was realizing it and unfolding my feelings for her. It was clear that she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
And for the first time, I was ready to welcome a whole new world with her.
...................................................
Side by side, we wandered around. She had her eyes over the view, but mine were still somewhere in her smile.
She tapped on my arm and pointed at a statue. "Xi Song, let's take a picture. We don't have enough shots together."
Gripping over my hand, she dragged me along with her.
We asked a person to take our pictures. She settled the camera and directed us. "Alright! You can pose."
Baffled, I stood there, not knowing what to do, and while she posed like a model.
My eyes scanned her, as it was my first time seeing her secret version.
She pouted and grabbed my arm. "What are you doing? Pose Nah!"
"But... I don't know how to pose."
"Just follow me!" She winked and slipped her hands around my neck. One of her hands placed mine on her waist. "Now, stare into my eyes like you always do."
Following her instructions, I dearly did my favorite hobby, staring into her eyes. Almost sank in love. We forgot about the camera.
Just right before the camera shot us, I pulled her closer to me, and a nostalgic smile appeared on her lips.
A sparky crash of our lips captured by the camera became a memory for us, one cherishable moment that was the best of our honeymoon.
Flustered, she asked. "What was that?"
"What? I wasn't ready."
"You did it purposely."
"No, Xingyue."
"Yes, Xi Song, it was intentional."
Pulling her closer to my chest, I raised my eyes seductively. "Then, let me do it intentionally now."
Smirking, I moved towards my target, but she put her hand on my lips, covering them.
In her shy, freaking out tone, she muttered. "We're in public, you pervert."
She gently pushed me a little and walked to that person.
"Thank you for your time."
"It's not a big deal! You two are really a beautiful couple. May God bless you with lovely babies." Smiling, she walked away, leaving us in awkward silence.

Author's POV
Getting back from work, Han Shuo had just fallen on the couch when the doorbell started ringing.
He had a 'done' look plastered on his face and gave no priority to the sound.
He kept on removing his tie until the continuous ring started annoying him.
Pissed, he stood up and walked.
Grabbing the handle, he opened the door and noticed Chen Ting with hands wrapped around her arms.
'Question mark' look described that he didn't want to meet with her.
Arrogantly, he claimed. "I'm not friends with Xi Song anymore. Better you leave from here." Saying, he pulled on the door, but she blocked it with her leg. "I'm here for something else, Han Shuo."
With his brows narrowed, he waited for her to continue.
"I want Xi Song."
"It's none of my business."
"But you love his so-called wife, don't you?" Her smirk gave him a hint that scared him to hell. Anxiously, he tried to get more details. "You better stay away from her. If you did something to her, I would make you regret it every day. And I mean it."
She burst into a peal of laughter, hearing this.
Her mocking laugh echoed in his ears. "Wooh! It seems like she's a sugar queen with countless admirers. But it's not my business. I'll successfully steal my Xi Song back."
Pausing, she declared her plan. "I'm going to Italy to get him back. If you want to give her a shoulder to cry on, you're welcome."

Xi Song's POV
With the help of a boat, we were going to an island famous by the name of Couple Point.
Riding in a pinnace, she was stroking the water lightly. But in reality, my heart was caressing seeing that scene.
The curious smile and excitement made her look flawless. I didn't know if it was the effect of this lovesick place or the decision I made, which opened doors for me to look after her.
Her core filled with beloved sparkles or her magical smile. The more I discovered, the more I lost myself in them.
.................................................
After journeying for a while, we were on that island. Owning our hands, we went to the famous place there.
With her hopeful eyes, she adored those locks.
She glanced at me, and her puppy eyes said what she wanted. The lovely stars throwing at me were enough for yes.
Dragging, we went to the table and picked a pink heart-shaped lock.
We wrote our names and chose a tiny corner to lock it.
She joined her hands and prayed. "May we love each other till eternity."
Watching her was heartwarming.
I as well joined my hands and prayed secretly. "God, please, keep this beautiful smile on her face forever. And let her be happy. She deserves it. That's my only wish."
Smiling, I caught her staring at me.
"What did you wish for?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Ohhh! Alright then. Your wish. Let's lock it together."
We held the key together and locked it.
[Xingyue and Xi Song with a heart in the middle.]
It seemed so pleasing.
"Xingyue?"
"Hmm?"
"Let's come back after four years and unlock this with our kid."
