Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 422: Chapter 423 I’m About to Start Loving You_l

Purple Summers and Atra Blanc stayed on the island until the Lunar New Year. Although it was an uninhabited island, it was not boring at all.

During the day, they went camping and picnicking, while at night, they set off fireworks on the beach.

Sometimes they would go out on the boat to catch fish and shrimp, sometimes they would pick up seashells on the beach.

Even something as simple as carrying a basket of carrots and sitting at the doorstep to feed the sika deer and rabbits was fun.

If it ever felt too quiet, it wasn’t a big deal. A fifteen-minute speedboat ride would get them to Pearlpoint City, where shopping was no issue.

Since her rebirth, Purple had never felt so at ease and content.

If possible, she truly wished she could continue living like this forever.

On Lunar New Year’s Eve, Alexander Summers took her to the central square of Pearlpoint City. There was a tall clock tower there, surrounded by countless young people waiting for the countdown.

As the hands were about to reach midnight, the sounds of counting down began to rise from the crowd, louder and louder, until in the final second, an immense cheer erupted and fireworks instantly filled the whole night sky.

The new year had arrived.

Excitedly, people hugged and kissed each other under the clock tower.

Alexander also kissed Purple.

His kiss was gentle, unlike his usual assertiveness, tender and poignant. When he let go of her, his eyes were filled with an indescribable affection, lurking just beneath the surface.

“Purple, we should spend the New Year together every year from now on,” Alexander said.

Purple’s face turned red, and she hesitated to speak.

Though it might spoil the mood to say this, she couldn’t help but blurt out, “You brought me here on purpose, just because you wanted to kiss me, didn’t you?”

These days, she’d been sticking close to Atra Blanc, leaving Alexander no opportunity to lay his hands on her.

Alexander laughed and didn’t answer, simply giving her nose a gentle pinch.

After the countdown, the square remained lively and boisterous, but Purple was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open. She wasn’t used to staying up late for the New Year, and if it weren’t for Alexander dragging her out, she would be asleep by now.

Back at their lodging, Purple laid in bed, feeling someone undressing her and then wiping her face and hands with a warm, wet towel in her dazed state.

She knew it was Alexander and subconsciously cooperated with his movements. When Alexander wanted to take off her clothes, she lifted her arms; when he wanted to wipe her face, she turned towards him.

Alexander gently slapped her bottom, chuckling, “Such a good girl, my little lazy pig.”

Purple fell into a deep sleep.

She didn’t sleep for long, though.

At four in the morning, Alexander gently woke Purple up, “Purple, get up, let’s go watch the sunrise.”

Purple turned over and mumbled with her eyes closed, “What’s so good about watching the sunrise…”

“The first sunrise of the New Year is different,” murmured Alexander, coaxing her to get out of bed.

But Purple was too sleepy, and she couldn’t wake up.

Alexander pinched her cheek, and seeing that Purple was really too drowsy, he wrapped her in a blanket and carried her straight to the car, then drove toward a high point on the small island.

The sky was filled with stars, the profound expanse covering the world, with no hint of light in the east yet.

The sun had not risen.

Having parked the car, Alexander carried Purple out and hugged her as they found a rock to sit on, quietly gazing at the distance.

He had always wanted to watch a sunrise with her.

It didn’t matter if she was asleep; as long as she was by his side, it was fine.

Alexander waited quietly, and after a long time, at the line where the sky met the water, there finally came a change.

He watched as a red sun rose slowly above the horizon, majestic and splendid to behold.

“The sun is coming up…” murmured the girl in his arms.

Alexander looked down at her, “Awake?”

“I woke up when you carried me out of the car,” Purple said with an endearing smile.

She blinked sleepily and said in a soft, groggy voice, “Alexander, Happy New Year.”

A new year had begun.

I’m going to start loving you. Are you ready?
