Rebirth: Illuminating a Brilliant Life

Chapter 136 The Bloom of Love: Cheng Ran's Sweet Feast for Su Xuan

Cheng Ran always kept Su Xuan's dedication in her heart. In the past, every bit of Nianci's laughter and progress, every clean and warm corner of the home, was inseparable from Su Xuan's devoted care.

Cheng Ran saw the tired figures of those who were busy for their families, and felt their pain in her heart.

On this special day when they officially became a couple, Cheng Ran began preparing a surprise for Su Xuan well in advance. He booked the French restaurant that Su Xuan had been longing for a long time in advance, and even communicated with the restaurant owner to decorate a quiet corner in Su Xuan's favorite light purple tone, surrounded by her favorite white lilies. The delicate fragrance of the flowers filled the air, as if telling a sweet story of love.

The carefully chosen gift was a bracelet inlaid with tiny diamonds. Each diamond had been carefully polished by Cheng Ran's hands, and its sparkling light was just like Su Xuan in his eyes—bright and precious.

He also made a photo album by hand, filled with heartwarming moments of Su Xuan and Nian Ci together, as well as all the little things that happened since they met. Next to each photo, he wrote down words of gratitude and love.

That day, Cheng Ran first made an excuse to go out, but in reality, he went to pick up the flowers he had ordered. When he returned home with a large bouquet of vibrant red roses, Su Xuan's eyes were filled with surprise and emotion.

He gently took Su Xuan's hand, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world, and carefully put the bracelet on her wrist. The moment the bracelet touched her wrist, it felt as if an electric current passed through her; it was the spark of their love.

Cheng Ran gently whispered his gratitude and love to her in her ear, his voice trembling slightly but full of affection: "Xuan, you've worked so hard these past few days. I want to stay close to you and never leave you in the future."

Afterwards, Cheng Ran led Su Xuan to the warmly decorated dining room. The flickering candlelight on the table illuminated their happy faces. Cheng Ran gently pulled out a chair for Su Xuan, and after she was seated, handed her the prepared photo album.

Su Xuan flipped through the photo album, looking at the familiar scenes and heartfelt words, tears gradually blurring her vision. This carefully prepared surprise was the best interpretation of Cheng Ran's deep love for Su Xuan. On this special day, their hearts were more closely intertwined, and love flowed quietly in the air.

Tears welled up in Su Xuan's eyes. She tilted her head slightly, looked at Cheng Ran, and smiled happily, saying reproachfully, "When did you prepare all this? I didn't even notice."

Cheng Ran gently flicked her nose and said tenderly, "This is our special day, so of course I want to give you a unique surprise." As he spoke, he gently embraced her, as if he were embracing the whole world.

After dinner, Cheng Ran took Su Xuan to the balcony. He had already decorated the balcony into a dreamy little world, with soft carpets covering the floor and twinkling fairy lights hanging all around, resembling a dazzling starry sky.

Cheng Ran picked up a guitar from the side, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said, "I've been practicing for a long time, and I just wanted to play it for you." He gently plucked the strings and played Su Xuan's favorite song.

Although her playing wasn't very skillful, every note was filled with deep emotion. Su Xuan sat on the blanket, her hands supporting her chin, her eyes filled with emotion and love, and said softly, "This is the most beautiful performance I've ever heard."

As the song ended, Cheng Ran sat down next to Su Xuan and took out a beautiful photo album from behind him. The album recorded every little detail of their time together, including joyful moments of Nianci and Su Xuan playing, heartwarming scenes of them cooking together in the kitchen, and Su Xuan's radiant smile that unexpectedly appeared during their walk in the park.

Cheng Ran flipped through the photo album page by page, telling the story behind each photo: "Look, this is the first time you made a birthday cake for Nianci. You two had cream all over your faces, like two little kittens." Su Xuan leaned on Cheng Ran's shoulder and said with a smile, "Those days were simple and happy."

As night deepened, a gentle breeze carried a sweet scent. Cheng Ran stood up, extended his hand to Su Xuan, and said affectionately, "Would you like to dance with me?" Su Xuan placed her hand in Cheng Ran's and stood up to lean closer to him.

There was no grand dance floor, no melodious symphony, only the sound of their heartbeats and the gentle breeze as accompaniment. Under this small starry sky, they danced slowly, their steps light, their eyes meeting.

Cheng Ran whispered in Su Xuan's ear, "I want to spend every day like this with you from now on." Su Xuan nodded slightly and replied softly, "Yes, it's good to have you here."

The moonlight bathed them, creating an incredibly romantic scene. At that moment, love filled the air, and happiness took root in their hearts. They knew that countless more beautiful nights like this awaited them in the future.

Under the moonlight, the two embraced and danced, savoring this moment of tranquility and sweetness. Suddenly, a magnificent firework burst into bloom in the distant sky, breaking the silence of the night.

Su Xuan looked up in surprise, and Cheng Ran whispered in her ear, "This is another little surprise I prepared for you." Immediately afterwards, more fireworks went up into the sky, their colorful lights illuminating the entire night sky and reflecting on their happy faces.

Su Xuan turned her head, moved, and looked into Cheng Ran's eyes, saying, "How can you always give me so much unexpected happiness?" Cheng Ran smiled and replied, "Because you deserve all the good things in this world. I want to make every ordinary day shine, so that you will never regret choosing me and Nianci, and choosing this family."

After the fireworks display, Cheng Ran led Su Xuan to the swing in the yard. He had made it for her himself, and the swing was adorned with flowers and ribbons. Cheng Ran helped Su Xuan sit on it, gently pushed the swing, and said tenderly, "Do you remember when you said your biggest wish when you were little was to have your own swing? Now, I've made it come true for you."

Su Xuan's eyes welled up with tears again. She said softly, "Cheng Ran, with you by my side, I feel like a spoiled child. It feels so good to be loved like this."

Cheng Ran stopped the swing, walked to Su Xuan, squatted down, took her hand and said, "From now on, you can be my princess in peace. I will always protect you and Nianci. We will create more beautiful memories together."

A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers as the two nestled quietly beside the swing, dreaming of their future together. Time seemed to stand still for them, and the world was filled only with their heartbeats and the flow of their love. This romance and happiness would continue through the years, becoming the most precious treasure in their hearts.
