On the night of meteor shower, she actually did it on purpose. She also knew that he melted the pill in the glass of milk he handed her the next morning. She quietly threw it behind his back.
Their following activities in bed, she actually also moved her hands and feet. Small pinhole pierced each surface and made a small hole.
She didnât believe. She was healthy. There was no reason to fail.
This was the first time she tried to plot against him. Who asked him not to let her give him a little Hoyle? Hmph.
At the beginning, he forced her to give him a baby. At that time, she was unwilling. When she was already willing, he became unwilling.
But that was okay. When the baby in her belly took root, he couldn't do anything with her anymore.
Hehe!
"What are laughing about?"
"Huh?"
He discovered her snicker. Olive quickly turned her mind, she couldnât let him catch her idea. She pretended to be natural and said, âNothing. I just think itâs not bad to adopt a child.â
Alan didnât know what was inside her mind for the time being. He was relieved, thinking that it was good she had come around.
It wasnât that he didnât want her to give birth. But Chloeâs description had really scared him. So, he always paid attention whenever they made love.
He didnât want the doctor to suddenly run out of the operating room and tell him, did he want to save the mother or the baby? He naturally would save the mother, but she would choose the baby.
At work, in the business field, he had made too many decisions and each of them was decisive and forceful. But for his only beloved woman, he couldnât decide. So, he could only smother all the dangers before budding.
Olive was afraid of being found out too, so she quickly changed the subject, âRight, where is this place?â
Alan dropped the big rock in his heart. His tone was relaxed and he teased her, âGuess.â
âIâm guessing that this is your secret base. But I have a very narrow view, I canât guess where this is specifically. Or, dear Mr. Hoyle, would you please give me a hint?â
Although she wasnât familiar enough with Jiangcheng, she hadnât set foot in this city for several years.
But she still had memories of the approximate locations and places. After all, she had ever lived in this city for four years.
âA few years ago, someone vowed to me that when my eyes are better, theyâll take me to see the one-
meter view of sunshine. Itâs sad to be forgotten it so soon.â Alan complained, staring at her.
âNymph Mountain?â Olive exclaimed.
No way. When she hiked here with her classmates before, except for a pavilion halfway up the mountain, there was no house on the mountain.
How should she describe this man? For her words, he actually built a villa on top of the mountain. He really knew how to find something to do. It seemed that narrow and winding road had been changed to a wide road already, which became more convenient for people who came to travel.
Alan put his chin on her neck, his breath was warm against her skin. âI lived on this mountain for a long time, but Iâve never seen the one meter sunshine like you said. Honey, you werenât lying to me at that time, right?â
Olive giggled, âIt must be that you didnât touch the doorway.â
He had to know that she only saw it after she went twice.
âHuh? What?â Alan was a little curious.
âLet me ask you, when do you usually live here?â
âSummer, when the sun is the hottest.â
âYouâre here to escape the heat!â Olive laughed at him.
âIs it when on winter?â The time had staggered too much.
âNo. The correct answer is when winter is changing into spring. Because Nymph Mountain is the highest mountain on the border of Jiangcheng and the other side of the mountain is next to a natural lake, so itâs very humid. In that season, even at the finest weather, the top of the mountain is covered with clouds all day that itâs difficult for the sun to penetrate the clouds. But at the turn of winter to spring, the sunlight occasionally shines through small gaps of the clouds to a small place on the cliff. So, the flowers on the cliff will bloom earlier than elsewhere on the mountain. I heard the elderly said that if youâre lucky enough to see this beautiful view of the one meter sunshine and then pick a flower on the cliff to give it to the person you like, their love will blossom until the old age. But, the place may not be the same each year, so not many people have seen it.â
Alan was a little astonished, âIs there such a thing? Iâm from Jiangcheng, but why donât I know? Yet, you who arenât know more. You didnât make up to make me happy, right?â
Olive held Alanâs face and giggled, âMr. Hoyle, you arenât a stubborn donkey who wonât be obedient and cooperate with doctor, are you? You can say that if I lied to you before to make you more look forward to life. But youâre fine now, why do I need to lie to you? Youâre not even Annie who needs bedtime story to fall asleep.â
âThen have you really seen it?â Alan asked. He had come to this mountain so many times and had never seen it before. At that time, he thought, maybe she fooled him for fun.
âAlthough legend is only a legend and not to be believed, but I really have seen the one meter sunshine.â Olive raised her hand and swore. âThis was when I was in university. An old lecturer told us and we didnât believe it at first. We thought it was just a trick to deceive retarded children. But young peopleâs energy is always too much. So, some classmates made a plan for a hiking together on the weekend. We didnât see it for the first time. At that time, we all thought, that lecturer had lied to us. But weâre students. There were always boring times. After a week, we went again. Maybe we were luckier, but we really saw it that time.â
âWhatâs it like?â
âThat kind of sceneryâ¦â Olive thought for a while, trying to find the most suitable words in her memory.
âItâs like a bright light suddenly appeared in the cloudy sky. It was especially dazzling. There were a few faint halos all around. It looked white at first glance, but after a long time, youâll find that itâs actually a colorful halo, extremely beautiful. Looking at the direction of the sun, youâll find the clouds have a faint transparent color, and you can faintly see the blue sky.â
âWhere did you see it that time?â Alan asked again.
âThe locals call it Tiger Leaping Cliff, but we call it Lover cliff. We were standing at the Butterfly Valley that time.â
Tiger Leaping Cliff and Butterfly Valley werenât far behind the villa. He travelled far and wide looking for it, but turned out that it was close before his eyes and his time was wrong.
Alan smiled and said, âThen we have to look for the right time and youâll bring me there to fulfill your long delayed promise.â
âWe have to wait until next year beginning of spring.â Now it was summer. They couldnât see it even if they wanted to. But this place was a good escape from summer.
Alan indifferently said, âItâs okay. I have time to wait.â
Olive stroked his handsome face and giggled, âThen you can wait patiently. Wait for this big sister to take you to see one meter sunshine.â
âBig sister?â Alan narrowed his eyes with a dangerous glint.
Olive quickly changed her word, âBig brother.â
Alan hummed, âThatâs better.â
On the next day, the sky was bright and the birds in the mountain rushed out, singing happily in the woods and rustling against the leaves from time to time.
Olive woke up very early. Perhaps it was because of what had happened which caused her sleep restlessly, waking up several times in the middle of the night.
After so many years of being anxious, it suddenly ended in a certain day. It was like a dream too good to come true.
Yet Alan wasnât in a hurry to get up. The sun had risen high, but he still dragged her back to the bed.
Kent couldnât stand it anymore. He pulled Annie, who was holding a turtledove in her hands, and banged on the door. He shouted, âAlthough you guys didnât hold a wedding, youâre no newly married couple. Are you still not waking up when the sun is already setting?â
Alan went to open the door topless, âIâm storing up my energy. Do you understand?â
Kent smiled slyly, âStoring up energy? Iâm afraid youâll die from exhaustion and miss todayâs excitement.â
Fortunately, Olive had long accustomed to this guyâs loose tongue. Actually, they didnât do anything last night. They talked until they were sleepy and slept quietly.
Alan rewarded him with two words, âGet out.â
Kent angrily said, âHurry up and change your clothes. Breakfast is ready. Iâve now become a servant for you whole family.â
His answer was a slammed door to his face.
Annie rudely laughed. When she went downstairs, she said, âUncle Kent, why arenât you grumbling?â
Kent stopped and bluffed at the little girl, âYou brat. Donât think that I wonât dare to smack your ass because you have your father backing up now.â
âUncle, do you want to be a gangster? Men and women wonât accept,â said Annie without being scared, tilting her head.
âWhat bullshit do you mean men and women wonât accept? You called me to carry you just now. How?â
In a blink of an eye, this little thing changed her face very fast.
Annie argued, âJust now is just now. Now is now. Donât you know that a tigerâs ass is untouchable?â
This bratâs thought was so far off. Kent felt like he couldnât keep up, âWhen did you become a tiger?â
Annie was guarding the little turtle dove with one hand while the other was holding onto the stairs railing. She hopped and sang, âThe young monk goes down the mountain to beg for food. The old monk reminds that the woman below the mountain is a tiger. You must avoid her if you meetâ¦â
Kent suddenly admired her.
This brat could actually sing such old songs. Where did she learn it? It was rare to hear the songs of their era on the street now. It was simply a miracle for a five-year-old child to be able to sing its every word.
This miracle ran into his room early in the morning to disturb his dream, jumped onto his bed and forced him to get up. He wanted to go back to sleep again and continue his steamy dream with Janetta.
âGo to your mom and dad.â
âMy mom and dad are making little brothers and sisters for me. I canât bother them. Uncle, Iâm hungry, so hungry.â The little thing lied on his side of the bed so pitifully and was shaking her arm, not easily letting him go.
For a moment, his heart went soft. He really regretted that he didnât lock the door last night.
