Heart Stealer

Qiu Xue had been feeling down ever since she was plagued by the company rumors. Her once bright eyes had dimmed, and the smile that always graced her lips was now hard to find. Xiao Tuobang saw it all, and it hurt.

In order to heal his wife's injuries, Xiao Tuobang decided to take Qiuxue away from the hustle and bustle of the city and return to his hometown, Platycodon Town. Xiao Tuobang hoped that the tranquility here would allow Qiuxue to forget her troubles.

On a sunny and clear morning, the seaside of Platycodon Town unfolds like a beautiful painting.

The golden sunlight is like a light and soft golden gauze, gently falling on the sparkling sea, making the entire sea surface shine with dazzling light.

Flocks of snow-white seagulls fly freely in the vast sky, their cheerful cries one after another, as if the sea is whispering a beautiful and melodious song.

Everything in front of you is so peaceful and harmonious that you can't help but indulge in it, and your body and mind get unprecedented relaxation.

Xiao Tuobang held Qiu Xue's slightly cold little hand tightly, and the two of them slowly walked onto the bluestone road leading to the pier.

The destination of their trip was a picturesque but little-known uninhabited island not far away.

Along the way, Xiao Tuobang's face was always filled with a gentle and warm smile. From time to time, he turned his head to look at Qiu Xue beside him, his eyes full of love and concern.

When they were about to reach the dock, Xiao Tuobang stopped, turned around, gazed lovingly into Qiuxue's eyes, and whispered, "Wife, let's go to that uninhabited island together today. I'm sure no one will disturb us there, and we can fully embrace the beautiful scenery bestowed upon us by nature and feel the endless warmth and comfort it brings us."

Qiu Xue's face showed a long-lost relaxed smile, and she nodded excitedly: "That's great, honey, I've always wanted to go fishing on an uninhabited island with you, and this time I finally have the chance."

They arrived at the dock and rented a small boat. Xiao Tuobang carefully helped Qiuxue onto the boat, then he jumped on board, untied the ropes, and started the engine. The boat slowly sailed towards the uninhabited island in the distance.

Xiao Tuobang operated the boat skillfully. His movements were smooth and powerful, obviously the marks left by many years of fishing career.

Qiuxue sat at the bow of the boat, her long hair fluttering in the wind, her eyes full of curiosity and yearning for the uninhabited island.

As they approached the island, they could see its lush vegetation and white sandy beaches from afar.

The waves crashed against the shore, making a crisp sound. Qiu Xue couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful here! It's like a paradise on earth."

Xiao Tuobang docked the boat at the shore and pulled Qiuxue off the boat.

They strolled along the coastline, feeling the sea breeze and listening to the sound of the waves.

Qiuxue closed her eyes, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the power of nature.

They found a flat spot, spread out their blankets, and sat down.

Xiao Tuobang took out his fishing gear and prepared to start fishing.

Qiu Xue sat aside, quietly admiring the sea view. She felt as if all her stress had left her at that moment, and her heart was filled with peace and contentment.

After a while, Xiao Tuobang caught a small fish. He shouted excitedly: "Wife, look! I caught a fish!" Qiu Xue ran over with a smile, looking at the lively little fish, her eyes full of joy.

Qiuxue asked Xiao Tuobang how to fish. Xiao Tuobang patiently taught Qiuxue how to cast the line and how to feel the fish biting the hook.

Qiu Xue learned very seriously, and every movement she made was full of freshness and fun.

The sea breeze blew on their faces, and the sea water hit the rocks on the shore, making a pleasant sound.

On this beautiful, uninhabited island, Qiuxue's worries seemed to have been blown away by the sea breeze. She snuggled in Xiao Tuobang's arms, sharing their happiness and enjoying this rare moment of peace.

"Tuobang, thank you for bringing me here. I feel much better." Qiuxue looked at Xiao Tuobang with gratitude in her eyes.

Xiao Tuobang gently stroked Qiuxue's hair, his voice gentle and affectionate: "Wife, no matter what happens, I will be by your side. Let's face difficulties together and enjoy life together."

On this uninhabited island, Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue found their own paradise. Here, they forgot the hustle and bustle of the city, only to find each other's company and the gifts of nature. In this moment, their hearts were truly relaxed and healed.

Suddenly, Qiuxue's fishing rod moved, and she shouted excitedly, "Tuobang, come help! It seems like there's a fish on the hook!"

Xiao Tuobang quickly ran over to help Qiuxue reel in the line. After some effort, they successfully caught a large fish.

"Wow, what a big fish!" Qiuxue clapped her hands excitedly.

Xiao Tuobang said with a smile: "It seems that we will have a delicious seafood dinner tonight."

As the sun sets, the orange afterglow dyes the sky red.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the busy figures of Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue jumped on the golden beach, like a beautiful painting.

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue bent down to pick up the dead branches that were washed smooth by the waves, stacked them up one by one, and soon formed a small bonfire.

Xiao Tuobang lit the bonfire with a lighter. The flames jumped and made crackling sounds, dispelling the coldness around him.

Qiu Xue was preparing seafood on the side. She skillfully cleaned the fresh fish and shrimp and skewered them on iron skewers.

Xiao Tuobang and Qiuxue sat facing each other beside the bonfire, their faces reflected in the firelight, making them look particularly warm. The seafood was roasting on the fire, making a sizzling sound and the aroma was mouth-watering.

"Tuobang, look how beautiful this grilled fish is!" Qiuxue picked up a string of golden grilled fish and handed it to Xiao Tuobang.

Xiao Tuobang took the grilled fish, took a bite, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it tastes really good. Honey, you are really a cooking expert."

Qiu Xue smiled sweetly when she heard the praise. She picked up another string of grilled shrimp, carefully peeled them, and placed them before Xiao Tuobang's mouth.

The two of them shared the delicious food, taking turns to eat. Above their heads was the starry night sky, and in their ears was the sound of waves hitting the shore. Everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful.

"Tuobang, I think tonight is the happiest moment of my life in recent times." Qiuxue leaned on Xiao Tuobang's shoulder and said softly.

Xiao Tuobang hugged Qiuxue tightly, his voice filled with infinite tenderness: "Wife, no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we must face them together and overcome them together like we did tonight."

The night sea breeze was a little chilly, but they hugged each other tightly to keep each other warm.

Qiu Xue leaned in Xiao Tuobang's arms and gently told him about her recent confusion and worries. Xiao Tuobang comforted her, telling her not to care about those boring rumors and to believe in her own value and ability.

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue lay quietly on the blanket, looking up at the starry sky, counting the stars, and feeling the vastness of the universe.

As the night deepened, the bonfire gradually went out, but the warmth and happiness in the hearts of the two people were like the eternal starlight, illuminating the entire night.

They chatted until late at night, and only fell asleep in each other's arms when they felt sleepy.
