I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

The morning sun shines on Hangzhou. Chen Jue and Chen Jia, the newlywed couple, start their trip to the south of the Yangtze River with great expectations. Their first stop is the West Lake, which is like a quiet beauty. The lake is shimmering in the morning light, like countless tiny gold foils rippling. Willows are weeping by the lake, and their slender branches gently touch the water, as if whispering to the lake. The mountains in the distance are shrouded in a layer of gauze-like morning mist, looming, just like an ink painting slowly unfolding before your eyes. The lotus in the lake sways gently in the breeze, and crystal dewdrops hang on the pink petals, like tears rolling down the shy face of a girl. The lotus leaves are intertwined, holding up a bunch of green umbrellas for the lake. Occasionally, small fish shuttle and play under the lotus leaves, causing ripples.

Chen Jia was wearing a moon-white silk dress with delicate plum blossom patterns embroidered on the hem. When she walked, she looked like an orchid swaying in the wind. Her eyes were full of excitement and longing, and she said softly, "Xiaojue, this West Lake is really as described in the poem, 'If you want to compare the West Lake to Xi Shi, light makeup or heavy makeup is always suitable'. Seeing it today, I know how beautiful it is."

Chen Jue was wearing a sky-blue gown, his figure was as straight as a pine tree. He looked at Chen Jia tenderly with a smile on his lips: "Sister, with you by my side, the scenery of the West Lake is more charming. Let's stroll along the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery." After that, he gently took Chen Jia's hand, and the warmth from her palm seemed to dispel all the coldness in the world.

They walked slowly along the Su Causeway. The peach blossoms on the causeway were in full bloom, pink as clouds, and the petals fell with the wind, laying a gorgeous carpet of flowers on the ground. Chen Jia leaned over to pick up a petal and put it to her nose to sniff it, "The fragrance of this peach blossom is elegant and fresh, Xiaojue, smell it." Chen Jue leaned closer and took a deep breath, "Sister, this flower fragrance is just like your breath, it makes me intoxicated." As they walked, they saw a number of cruise ships slowly passing by on the lake, with exquisite dragon heads carved on the bows and colorful silks decorated on the hulls, dancing in the wind. The boatman stood at the stern, rowing the oars and humming a melodious Jiangnan tune, the sound floating on the lake, graceful and ethereal.

When they reached the Broken Bridge, Chen Jia stopped, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes: "Xiao Jue, on this Broken Bridge, there is the eternal story of Xu Xian and White Snake. Their love has gone through hardships, but they are unswerving. Do you think our love can be so loyal?" Chen Jue gently embraced Chen Jia in his arms, "Sister, our love will definitely stand the test of time. No matter how the wind and rain attack, I will not let go of your hand." Chen Jia leaned in Chen Jue's arms, her heart full of emotion and peace of mind. At this time, people were coming and going on the Broken Bridge. Tourists either stopped to take pictures or whispered about the legend of Xu Xian and White Snake. Their laughter and joy were in harmony with the waves on the lake.

After touring the West Lake, they heard about the Qiantang River tide and went to watch it with their companions. When they arrived at the river, they saw the vastness of the river, and the wind whistled past, blowing their clothes. In the distant sky, a silver line gradually emerged, as if a prelude was opened between heaven and earth. The beach by the river was covered with large and small reefs, and the reefs were covered with shells and seaweed, which sparkled with strange light under the sunlight.

Chen Jia's face was filled with nervousness and anticipation. She tightly grasped Chen Jue's arm and said, "Xiao Jue, is that a sign that a high tide is coming? I heard that the high tide is surging, and I'm a little scared." Chen Jue covered her hand and gave her strength, "Don't be afraid, sister. I'm here with you. This high tide is a wonder between heaven and earth. It's majestic, but also spectacular."

As the silver line gradually approached, the sound of the waves was like thunder, deafening. The surging tide was like a galloping horse, sweeping in with overwhelming force, stirring up thousands of huge waves, splashing water, and forming gorgeous rainbows under the refraction of the sun. The tide hit the reefs on the shore, and the splashing water was several feet high, like blooming white pear flowers. Chen Jia was shocked by the scene in front of her and was speechless, with amazement and awe in her eyes: "Xiao Jue, this scene is really a work of nature, beyond human power. In front of this tide, I feel my own insignificance." Chen Jue was also overwhelmed: "Sister, this tide makes me understand that everything in the world has its own majestic power, and our love should also be like this tide, moving forward bravely and fearlessly." The crowd watching the tide exclaimed, and everyone was impressed by the power of nature, and raised their cameras or paintbrushes in their hands, wanting to record this shocking moment.

After bidding farewell to Qiantang River, they arrived in Ningbo, where the vast sea appeared before their eyes. The sky by the sea was as blue as a gem, and white clouds floated in the air like cotton wool. Waves came one after another, hitting the golden beach, making pleasant sounds. The sand on the beach was fine and soft, and it shone with golden light under the sunlight, as if it were a golden ocean. In the distance, there were several sailboats sailing slowly on the sea, and the white sails were blown up in the sea breeze, like the wings of seabirds.

Chen Jia ran to the beach excitedly, the sea breeze blowing through her hair. She smiled and shouted to Chen Jue: "Xiao Jue, this sea is more vast than I imagined. Standing here, it seems that all the troubles have been swept away by the sea breeze." Chen Jue followed behind her, looking at her cheerful appearance, his heart full of doting: "Sister, the sea can accommodate everything, just like my love for you, which is boundless."

They strolled on the beach, looking for beautiful shells. Chen Jia found a small and exquisite shell, the lines on the shell were like a natural painting. She picked up the shell and handed it to Chen Jue: "Xiao Jue, look at this shell, it is a gift from the sea to us, so delicate." Chen Jue took the shell and looked at it carefully: "Sister, this shell is as unique and beautiful as you, I must treasure it well." The reefs on the seashore are also a unique view. The reefs are of different shapes, some are like turtles lying there basking in the sun, some are like horses galloping and ready to fly, and some are like mushrooms standing tall. In the gaps between the reefs, there are small crabs crawling around, and anemones swaying gently with the water flow.

Afterwards, they took a boat to Mount Putuo. Mount Putuo was filled with the smell of incense and the sound of Buddhist chants, creating a solemn religious atmosphere. The temples on the mountain were magnificent, with red walls and yellow tiles standing out against the backdrop of green trees. The temples' eaves and brackets were carved with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns, which came alive under the sunlight. The temple courtyard was full of pine, cypress and ginkgo trees, which were evergreen all year round and golden in autumn, adding a touch of quaint charm to the temples.

Chen Jia walked into the temple with a pious heart. In front of the Buddha statue, she clasped her hands together and prayed silently: "May the Buddha bless me and Xiaojue to have a long-lasting love, so that we can spend our lives together and avoid the suffering of the world." Chen Jue stood beside her and also closed his eyes and prayed: "May I protect my sister's life and let her be happy forever without any harm." The monks in the temple were dressed in robes, holding Buddhist beads, walking slowly in the courtyard, chanting something in their mouths. Their figures added a sense of tranquility and peace to this Buddhist holy land.

After the blessing, they strolled on the trail of Putuo Mountain, surrounded by green trees and lush flowers. The flowers beside the trail are colorful, including delicate peonies, elegant daisies, and noble orchids. They nodded gently in the breeze, as if sending blessings to the couple. Chen Jia said with emotion: "Xiao Jue, in this holy place of Buddhism, my heart is particularly peaceful. I think as long as we have good intentions and stick to our love for each other, we will be able to go through every stage of life." Chen Jue nodded and said: "Sister, you are right. This journey makes me cherish the time with you even more. No matter what storms are ahead, I am willing to walk side by side with you."

As night fell, they rested in the inn on Mount Putuo. The courtyard of the inn was full of green bamboos, and the moonlight shone through the gaps between the bamboo leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Chen Jia and Chen Jue sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, facing each other. On the stone table in the courtyard was a pot of tea and some snacks, and the fragrance of the tea rose and blended with the surrounding bamboo fragrance.

Chen Jia said softly: "Xiao Jue, today's experience is as beautiful as a dream. I never thought that there would be such a person who would accompany me to see the beautiful scenery of the world and share my joys, sorrows, anger and happiness with me." Chen Jue held her hand with a firm look: "Sister, this is just the beginning of our beautiful life. In the future, I will take you to more places, let you appreciate more beautiful scenery, and make your every day full of laughter."

Tears glistened in Chen Jia's eyes, tears of emotion and happiness: "Xiao Jue, I am the luckiest woman in the world as long as you are here. I want to be with you until the end of time." Chen Jue gently embraced her in his arms, and on this quiet night, the two of them felt each other's heartbeats and looked forward to a better future.

During this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, the love between Chen Jue and Chen Jia grew deeper and more steadfast under the witness of the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, the surging tides, the blue sea and sky, and the holy places of Buddhism.
