Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Xie Tiantian instantly broke into a smile.

Mo Xiaoyu, looking at her daughter's smile, couldn't help but think of Leng Hua's smile, and said, "Tiantian, mommy has something she wants to ask you."

Xie Tiantian titled her head to look at Mo Xiaoyu.

Mo Xiaoyu lifted her hand to gently caress her soft, delicate cheeks as she asked, "Tiantian, you..."

Mo Xiaoyu hesitated, wanting to say something but ended up not uttering a word.

"Mommy, I'm hungry." Xie Tiantian, just over four years old, couldn't understand the meaning behind Mo Xiaoyu's hesitation, and quickly began pestering Mo Xiaoyu to make her something delicious.

Bihai Beach.

Tang Yue was led by Meng Siyu all the way to Bihai Beach. She hadn't even started to play in the water when she was already utterly astounded by the beautiful seascape.

She had seen many pretty scenes in pictures before, and she had watched numerous seascapes in videos.

However, those video seascapes merited at most a word of praise from her, commenting on how beautiful they were.

But when she actually laid eyes on the ocean, she was seriously shaken.

Today's weather was great, with clear skies stretching endlessly, perfectly meeting the azure waters, blurring the lines between sea and sky, making it hard to distinguish where one ended and the other began.

The sea breeze swept in, bringing a wave of coolness, dispersing the inner restlessness, and standing before this boundless seascape, Tang Yue felt a profound sense of relaxation wash over her.

"So beautiful."

Tang Yue was about to run towards the sea when Meng Siyu abruptly pulled her back.

"Wife, let's get settled first, look at all this luggage," Meng Siyu said, eyeing the baggage as he led Tang Yue towards Hill Hotel, an imposing and upscale establishment.

Tang Yue secretly sized up the hotel. Though it was a star-rated hotel and slightly different from the five-star hotels of the future, the presence of such a luxurious hotel gave her a feeling of being back in the future.

Upon entering the suite and seeing the floor-to-ceiling windows and the seascape beyond, Tang Yue was as delighted as a child. She joyfully threw herself into Meng Siyu's arms, tilted her head up, and planted a kiss on his face, saying happily, "Husband, you are so good to me."

"I'm so happy, this place is really beautiful."

"How did you find this place?"

Tang Yue's eyes shimmered as she looked at Meng Siyu, her happy expression reflected in his eyes, stirring joy in his heart like the rolling waves in the sea.

"As long as you like it."

Meng Siyu held her waist, lowered his head, and kissed her. He hadn't held his wife properly last night, nor had he loved her thoroughly, but today he was determined to make up for it all.

Tang Yue was pulled onto the bed, and she instantly realized that Meng Siyu was in the mood. She glanced at the seascape outside the window and urgently said, "You promised to take me to see the ocean."

"We'll go in the evening."

...

In the evening, when Tang Yue woke up, the sky outside was completely dark. The captivating seascape of before was now nothing but pitch black. There were no lights on in the room, only the faint glow from outside provided some illumination.

How infuriating!

Tang Yue was really upset; they had agreed to come to see the ocean!

But what happened?

She saw the sea for a moment, only to spend the rest inside this room...

Now, even her stomach was growling with hunger. She looked around the room; there was no sign of Meng Siyu. Rubbing her sore back and legs, feeling like her waist was almost broken, she thought about how fit she was, never stopping her exercise routine over the years.

But in front of Meng Siyu? The physical strength she took pride in was of no use at all.

No, she must work out, she wanted to learn from Sister Qing and Aunt Lian and improve her fitness level. Otherwise, begging for mercy because she couldn't keep up on several occasions – just the thought of that image was embarrassing!

The delicious aroma of food wafted over.

'Gurgle'

Tang Yue's stomach started to growl, she casually grabbed a bathrobe, wrapped herself in it, and went outside to see Meng Siyu had indeed served up a table full of fragrant dishes.

"Smells so good!"

Tang Yue looked at the table full of dishes: spicy and flavorful lobster, braised abalone, scallop vermicelli, and a soup that she couldn't identify. Each dish looked so appetizing and was served in generous portions. Tang Yue happily approached.

Just as she was about to eat, Meng Siyu swatted her hand away.

"Uncle Mo~"

Tang Yue looked at Meng Siyu with a grievance, always liking to coquettishly call him 'Uncle Mo' when she felt wronged.

"There, there~"

Meng Siyu peeled the spicy and flavorful lobster and held it to her mouth, saying, "You haven't washed your hands yet."

"Delicious." Tang Yue ate the lobster, feeling extremely blissful.

Once Tang Yue started eating, she forgot all about washing her hands.

Meng Siyu simply pulled her into his embrace and fed her.

Tang Yue was also joyfully at ease. Wherever she looked, Meng Siyu would pick that dish for her to eat, especially when he peeled the lobster – his graceful movements were something Tang Yue never tired of watching. Her earlier displeasure at Meng Siyu, for keeping her from seeing the sea, had also dissipated.

"Is it tasty?" Meng Siyu explained with a smile that all these seafood dishes were local specialties, and since Tang Yue liked them, naturally, he wanted her to eat her fill now that they were in Sea City.

"Mhm."

Tang Yue's eyes sparkled brightly as she said happily, "Husband, you're the best."

"Good to know." Meng Siyu really liked hearing her call him 'husband.' Each time she said 'husband,' it made him feel like the happiest man in the world.

Although there were not many dishes, the portions were plenty. Tang Yue didn't just eat herself but also remembered to feed Meng Siyu. Under the warm yellow light, the two of them enjoyed the delicious seafood, occasionally looking at each other and exchanging smiles, surrounded by sweet bubbles.

A simple meal made them feel very happy.

After dinner, Meng Siyu took Tang Yue to sit on the balcony to enjoy the sea breeze and chat.

The view of the sea was right before them, and Tang Yue was in no hurry to end the night.

But soon, Tang Yue realized her mistake.

During the bath, she was dragged into a pair-bath by someone, and in the end, was pulled into doing... something embarrassing.

As Tang Yue drifted off to sleep confusedly, she suddenly wondered if someone was so attentive in feeding her delicious food at night, was it because he wanted to be well fed by her later?

…

"Wife?"

Meng Siyu liked to hold Tang Yue while sleeping, but when he woke up in the early morning, he felt Tang Yue in his arms was like a furnace. He reached out to feel her forehead and indeed found it burning hot.

"Honey?"

"Xiao Yue?"

Meng Siyu felt Tang Yue had a fever, and instantly, sleep was gone from his eyes. He softly called for Tang Yue, but in her feverish haziness, even if she struggled to open her eyes, she groggily said, "My head is dizzy, it hurts."
