Chapter 16:
Extra - Other matters 1.
As the Lunar New Year approached, Luo Yu's mother, Yu Xinxin, called and said she hoped Luo Yu would bring Ruan Zheng home for the New Year.
Luo Yu had also planned for this and immediately dialed Ruan Zheng's number after finishing the call with Yu Xinxin.
He thought it would be a simple matter for Ruan Zheng to come home with him, but Ruan Zheng hesitated on the other end and said it didn't seem appropriate.
Because in previous years, he always spent the New Year with Jiang Qi.
If he left, Jiang Qi would be alone.
"Jiang Qi is already in his thirties," Luo Yu frowned when he heard Jiang Qi's name, "let him be free.
Even if you don't come home with me, you'll still be with me.
Is it Jiang Qi's turn?" Ruan Zheng heard that Luo Yu was unhappy and spoke to him in a soft voice to coax him, saying, "I'll talk to Ah Qi." Luo Yu hung up the phone in a bad mood and didn't receive a reply all day.
After living together for a long time, Luo Yu discovered that Ruan Zheng appeared gentle and weak, but in reality, he had strong opinions and Luo Yu had never been able to successfully change any of his decisions.
Even Luo Yu couldn't help but think, if one day Ruan Zheng no longer loved him, would he be packed up and thrown out the door.
Ruan Zheng went to Ping City temporarily during the day and didn't come home until ten o'clock at night.
Luo Yu sat in the living room for more than an hour with an unpleasant expression.
Ruan Zheng, exuding a cold aura, walked in the door and he immediately spoke coldly, "You finally decided to come back?" Ruan Zheng hung his coat on the hanger and briskly walked to Luo Yu's side.
He looked at the Animal Farm book in Luo Yu's hand, swiped it from his hand, and threw it on the carpet.
He lowered his head and smiled warmly, saying, "Don't read these rebellious books when there's nothing to do." Luo Yu originally had a stern face ready to lecture him, but he was teased by Ruan Zheng's temper and pulled Ruan Zheng onto the sofa.
He held his hand to warm him up and asked, "Why are you so late?" "I was supposed to return to Ping City, but I accompanied Ah Qi to see a baby at the last minute," Ruan Zheng told Luo Yu, "It was his friend from Country A who had a surrogate pregnancy." "Is his paternal love overflowing?" Luo Yu squeezed his wrist and asked him.
Ruan Zheng shook his head, "Just thinking that maybe you should also have a child." Yu Xinxin and Ruan Zheng had mentioned it before.
Luo Yu's father hoped that Luo Yu would have a child soon.
When Ruan Zheng saw the baby today, he remembered this matter.
Luo Yu looked at Ruan Zheng and suddenly placed his hand on Ruan Zheng's shoulder, while his other hand touched his flat belly.
"If you can bear it, I want one," Luo Yu said.
Ruan Zheng's lips twitched, and he looked into Luo Yu's eyes for a few seconds.
He then raised his hand to cover Luo Yu's hand on his belly and leaned closer to Luo Yu, his nose touching his, and said in a teasing voice, "Should we give it a try?" "Huh?" Luo Yu moved away slightly, squinting his eyes at Ruan Zheng.
"Will I get pregnant if you shoot inside?" Ruan Zheng naively asked Luo Yu, with an expression that really seemed like it.
Luo Yu didn't say anything, he just picked up Ruan Zheng and carried him upstairs.
After ten o'clock, it was adult activity time.
The bedroom was dark, with only a corridor light on.
The master of the room was neatly dressed, while the person sitting on him was completely naked.
The person's anus was swallowing his large genitals, and whenever he thrust forcefully, the person would make a sound like a cat with its tail caught.
Ruan Zheng's legs were numb and he could only make crying sounds.
He clung to Luo Yu's shoulders, gasping for breath, and begged him, "Luo Yu, let's change positions..." Luo Yu stopped and placed his hands on Ruan Zheng's shoulders, staring intently at his face and asked, "What would you like to change to?" "Let me...
mmm—" Before Luo Yu agreed, Ruan Zheng slowly lifted his waist, wanting to spit out what was deep inside him, but Luo Yu pressed down on his shoulders and thrust back in just as it had come out halfway.
Ruan Zheng was almost crushed by this thrust.
He clung to Luo Yu, tears streaming down his face, dripping onto his lower abdomen and sliding down along his muscular lines.
"Didn't you say we should try?" Luo Yu asked Ruan Zheng gently, but continued to intensely thrust into him, causing Ruan Zheng to sob and ejaculate onto his own lower abdomen.
Luo Yu pressed him onto the bed, folding his legs and thrusting vigorously, ejaculating his semen inside Ruan Zheng.
Luo Yu paused for a moment and said, "Stay a little longer." After Ruan Zheng reached climax, his body became extremely sensitive and Luo Yu's presence became even stronger.
He pushed Luo Yu, urging him to leave faster.
But Luo Yu refused, he enjoyed seeing Ruan Zheng in a state where he couldn't resist him.
Like a mischievous child, Luo Yu grabbed Ruan Zheng's wrist and whispered in his ear, "If you can't handle it, don't provoke me." Ruan Zheng quickly pulled his wrist away, placed his hand on Luo Yu's shoulder and pulled him closer, as if asking for a hug.
Luo Yu obediently pressed down on Ruan Zheng, holding him tightly, before finally withdrawing after a while.
Ruan Zheng leaned against Luo Yu for a while, hesitated, and then asked, "Do you have cigarettes?" Luo Yu looked down at him.
Ruan Zheng looked tired and fragile, with a hint of sharpness in his face.
Luo Yu had never seen him like this before and inexplicably felt a bit flustered.
After a long wait without a response, Ruan Zheng looked up at him and hoarsely asked, "Do you have any?" Luo Yu took a cigarette from the bedside and lit it for him before handing it over.
Ruan Zheng skillfully held the cigarette and took a puff, saying, "I asked Aqi, he said he's spending the New Year by himself." Luo Yu nodded and asked, "Are you tired today?" Ruan Zheng rarely smoked in front of him, unless he was truly exhausted and needed to relieve stress.
"I..." Ruan Zheng said, turning his head to look at Luo Yu.
The nervous look in Ruan Zheng's eyes made Luo Yu uneasy.
When he asked, "What's wrong?" Ruan Zheng looked at him for a few seconds but ultimately changed the topic abruptly, saying, "I want to quit smoking." Luo Yu could naturally see through it, but if Ruan Zheng didn't want to talk about something, asking would be useless.
2.
Originally, the flight to Europe for the Lunar New Year was already booked, but Yu Xin suddenly wanted to go to a seaside island instead.
So Luo Yu had to ask Xing Licheng to rebook the flights.
When he told Ruan Zheng about it, Ruan Zheng was very happy because he liked seaside islands.
They are going to set off in 2029.
The day before they left, Ruan was a bit hyperactive compared to usual, sitting in the small arsenal behind Luo's room, dismantling and reassembling Luo's beloved guns.
Luo couldn't find Ruan anywhere when he got home, but when he went upstairs, he discovered that Ruan was causing chaos.
He walked into the small arsenal without saying a word, and Ruan, as if he knew Luo was behind him, turned around and asked, "Does Uncle not like me?" "He doesn't like anyone," Luo thought for a moment and tried his best to comfort him, but it didn't work.
Ruan finished assembling the guns again and arranged them neatly, still not standing up.
He turned around and looked up at Luo, asking, "Is that so?" Ruan always seemed innocent and gentle, and Luo remembered what Jiang Qi had said to him in the safe house in Country U, "It depends on how you choose." This statement was both true and false.
Ruan was Luo's treasure.
He sat in Luo's room like his precious collection, but that was only because Ruan was willing to sit there.
Luo didn't have the power to choose.
He was the most passive person in the world, passively waiting for Ruan to love him, passively holding Ruan's hand, and convincing himself that Ruan loved him to death and would never leave him.
But only Ruan knew the truth.
Luo's heart sank, he bent down and pulled Ruan up, saying, "It's enough for me to like you." Ruan looked at him, restrainedly hugged him, but Luo hugged him tightly and couldn't break free.
"Ruan," Luo whispered in his ear, "can you love me a little more?" He let go of Ruan and waited for his answer.
Ruan calmly looked at Luo and said, "No." Luo and Ruan stared at each other for a while, and then Luo pulled him out of his small dark room.
Yu Xinxin wanted to go to the hotel Luo had opened in Country U because Shen Qiyin's mute mother was her best friend, and her whole family was going there for the Lunar New Year.
Luo had some psychological shadows about that island, but he arranged it anyway, thinking that he had promised Ruan to go there again.
When they arrived on the island, Luo's parents hadn't arrived yet, but Shen Qiyin's family was already there.
Luo and Ruan put their luggage away and freshened up.
They received Shen Qiyin's invitation to go to a newly opened rock climbing club on the island.
The club was not far from the hotel, and when they arrived, Shen Qiyin had just secured the safety rope.
Seeing Luo and Ruan coming in, he didn't dare to look at Ruan and only asked Luo, "Want to compete?" Luo shook his head, "It's not interesting to compete with someone so far behind." Shen Qiyin finally gathered the courage to look at Ruan, "Mr.
Ruan, want to compete?" Ruan agreed and added, "Mr.
Shen still hasn't settled his debt from the last horse race he lost to me.
We can settle it together this time." Shen Qiyin was speechless and just said they would climb first.
Luo glanced sympathetically at Shen Qiyin and didn't say anything.
Shen Qiyin's rock climbing level was already high among amateur climbers, but he quickly realized that it was a disgrace to play rock climbing with Ruan.
Before he could react, Ruan had already surpassed him by half a body length.
Ruan climbed steadily and quickly, his arched back dangerous-looking when he applied force with his hands.
Shen Qiyin was stunned and hastened to climb faster, but he soon could only see the soles of Ruan's shoes.
Shen Qiyin chose the most difficult rock climbing wall in the club's indoor gym.
At the top, there was a steep slope at a forty-five-degree angle to the horizontal plane, requiring a great burst of power to persevere until the end.
When Ruan Zheng reached the starting point of the steep slope, he suddenly stopped and glanced down at Shen Qiyin.
Shen Qiyin also looked up at Ruan Zheng.
After listening for a moment, Ruan Zheng released one of his hands, as if he was about to put it on his waist.
Luo Yu, who was sitting calmly below, suddenly stood up and raised his voice towards Ruan Zheng, "Do you dare?!" Shen Qiyin saw Ruan Zheng shrinking his neck and continued climbing the steep slope without even pausing.
Then he released his hand, and the rappelling device pulled him downwards at a constant speed.
Shen Qiyin was thrown off rhythm by Ruan Zheng, and absentmindedly glanced down, almost slipping and almost falling.
In the end, he reached the top panting, leaned on the side to rest for a while, and then walked over.
Ruan Zheng was crouching next to Luo Yu drinking water, not a single drop of sweat visible, looking well-behaved.
When Shen Qiyin walked over, Ruan Zheng put down his cup and calmly asked Luo Yu, "What do you want? Let him give it to you." Shen Qiyin almost couldn't catch his breath, but he still looked at Ruan Zheng anxiously and had to look at Luo Yu as well, "Yeah, what do you want?" "Don't bully others," Luo Yu rubbed Ruan Zheng's soft hair and then turned to Shen Qiyin with a raised voice, "After returning to Ping City, transfer the hotel's equity to me, that's all." "Debts won't crush you, we'll talk about it later," Shen Qiyin calmly looked at these shameless two and pretended not to be nervous as he asked Ruan Zheng, "What were you thinking when you suddenly stopped earlier?" Ruan Zheng just smiled at Shen Qiyin and said, "I was adjusting." Luo Yu glanced at Ruan Zheng but didn't expose him.
Ruan Zheng liked rock climbing, and the company's rooftop even had a rock climbing room.
However, he had a very bad habit - he didn't like to wear safety locks while climbing.
Once, they had planned to go see an opera together in the evening.
Coincidentally, Luo Yu happened to pass by Zhengting's building in the afternoon, so he decided to pick him up.
He called Ruan Zheng, but he didn't answer, so he went to find Jiang Qi instead.
Jiang Qi hadn't expected that Luo Yu didn't know about Ruan Zheng's bad habit, so she led Luo Yu inside.
Luo Yu saw Ruan Zheng climbing without any safety measures and almost broke his phone in his hand.
That evening, they didn't get to watch the opera, and Ruan Zheng was locked up by Luo Yu and scolded all night long.
Shen Qiyin didn't believe it, but he also couldn't guess that Ruan Zheng just didn't like the waist lock getting in the way.
He had just wanted to drink some water when Luo Yu's phone rang.
His parents had arrived at the hotel.
Dinner was to be shared by the two families, and Ruan Zheng had originally been worried that Luo Yu's parents and Shen Qiyin's parents would feel awkward.
However, in less than half an hour of eating, the two fathers started pouring alcohol for Ruan Zheng.
Luo Yu's father, who had always been serious, took the lead and said to Ruan Zheng, "Xiao Ruan, Auntie Yu saved your life, don't you need to toast her a glass?" Luo Yu knew that Ruan Zheng had very poor alcohol tolerance, so he reached out to stop it and said that he would toast on Ruan Zheng's behalf.
His dad ruthlessly mocked him, saying, "I'm speaking to Xiao Ruan, what business is it of yours?" Ruan Zheng pressed his hand on the back of Luo Yu's hand, smiled at Luo Yu's father, stood up with a courteous manner, and respectfully toasted Yu Xinxin, drinking the entire glass in one go.
Next was Shen Qiyin's father.
He brought his wife and took out two red envelopes, saying that it was their first time meeting and not asking for much, just asked Ruan Zheng to drink while watching.
Luo Yu couldn't go against the wishes of the elders from Shen Qiyin's family, so he let Ruan Zheng drink another glass.
At a critical moment, Luo Yulai received a phone call.
He walked out to answer it, and it was Xing Licheng reporting on the company's affairs.
Luo Yulai thought there was no reason to persuade him to drink anymore, so he patiently listened for about ten minutes.
But when he came back after the call, Ruan Zheng's head was already leaning on his neck, moving towards him.
Ruan Zheng saw Luo Yulai and leaned towards him, muttering, "I can't drink anymore." Ruan Zheng felt dizzy and couldn't speak properly.
His eyes were watery, and he frowned and made an uncomfortable expression.
Luo Yulai almost slammed the table out of distress.
He asked his father with a dark face, "Are you trying to provoke me today?" Seeing that Luo Yulai was getting angry, the two fathers finally quieted down.
Shen Qiyan, who was on the side, tried to stir up trouble, saying, "What's the big deal about drinking a little when you're a treasure?" Luo Yulai ignored Shen Qiyan and approached Ruan Zheng, asking him quietly how much he had drunk.
"What can it be? Just three glasses of white wine," Shen Qiyan interrupted from the side, while offering Luo Yulai's father a glass of wine.
"Right, uncle?" Luo Yulai looked at him for a moment, and Shen Qiyan shrunk back under his gaze.
It was still Yu Xinxin who mediated for them.
She said to Luo Yulai, "I ordered some congee for Xiao Ruan." Ruan Zheng heard it and whispered to Luo Yulai while leaning on him, saying he didn't want to drink congee and wanted to sleep.
Luo Yulai felt uncomfortable and touched Ruan Zheng's face, telling him to wait.
The congee arrived quickly, and Luo Yulai fed Ruan Zheng half a bowl.
Ruan Zheng fell asleep while drinking, leaning his head on Luo Yulai.
Luo Yulai ignored the stares of the elders, carried Ruan Zheng sideways, and expressionlessly told his father, "I'm leaving first." His father seemed indifferent, saying, "So it turns out that little Ruan can't hold his liquor." Ruan Zheng looked small, but after all, he was an adult man and not light.
Luo Yulai carried him through the restaurant to the room, and his arms stiffened.
Ruan Zheng slept deeply and had a slightly higher temperature than usual.
Luo Yulai took off Ruan Zheng's clothes and put them under the blanket before taking a shower.
3.
That night, Luo Yulai dreamt of Ruan Zheng.
He dreamt of the year he was fifteen, when Yu Xinxin found a young boy on the border.
The boy was a year younger than him, with a gentle and good-looking face.
His name was Ruan Zheng.
Ruan Zheng was seriously injured, and Yu Xinxin brought him home to raise him as her own son.
At first, Luo Yulai looked down on this boy who was mysteriously picked up by his mother.
He thought Ruan Zheng was effeminate and useless, and didn't even want to look at him.
But he didn't know when he started paying special attention to Ruan Zheng.
Ruan Zheng was always a topic of discussion among the girls in their class.
The girls in middle school talked about how considerate and cute the junior student with the surname Ruan was, and how they wanted to date him.
Even Luo Yulai's best friend, Shen Qiyan, asked him why he never brought his "Ruan Zheng" friend from home to play.
The dream had a dark tone, like a silent film, occasionally with clear scenes, such as Ruan Zheng giving a speech on behalf of the middle school department at the school opening ceremony, with everyone looking at him.
Ruan Zheng's gaze, however, went through the crowd and focused on Luo Yulai.
Soon after, Ruan Zheng entered high school.
He was a grade below Luo Yulai, and he always passed by Luo Yulai's room with a glass of milk just after Luo Yulai finished his private tutoring, politely looking at Luo Yulai through the door and asking, "Luo Yulai, do you want to drink?"
"Finally, one day, Luo Yu accepted Ruan Zheng's gesture of goodwill.
He waved his hand, inviting Ruan Zheng into his house.
Ruan Zheng wanted to give his milk to Luo Yu and said, 'I'll go cook it again.' Luo Yu pushed away the milk cup and asked Ruan Zheng, 'Is today your birthday?' Luo Yu heard from the girls in his class that Ruan Zheng had a lot of gifts on his desk and he didn't know if his own gift would be accepted by Ruan Zheng.
Ruan Zheng's eyes softened, he nodded and said yes.
Luo Yu didn't wish him a happy birthday, he said, 'It's a bit girly to still be drinking milk at 16, isn't it?' 'Then what would be considered not girly?' Ruan Zheng calmly asked Luo Yu.
Whether it was a delusion of feeling good about himself or true, Luo Yu always felt that Ruan Zheng treated him differently, that Ruan Zheng's attitude towards him was different from anyone else's.
In this dream, he had a firm belief that Ruan Zheng might like him.
Luo Yu and Ruan Zheng locked eyes for a few seconds, shrugging his shoulders, Luo Yu said, 'Then I won't drink milk.' Ruan Zheng placed the milk on the coffee table and said, 'Then I won't drink it either.' 'Why are you so obedient?' Luo Yu asked Ruan Zheng, his throat feeling tight, his heart firmly held by a hand.
Because whenever he talked to Ruan Zheng, he felt nervous every second, every minute, every moment.
And in the waiting time, the scene became enchanting, the speed of the dream slowed down, Luo Yu clearly saw Ruan Zheng's incredibly cute smile and heard him say, 'Because I like you.' Luo Yu was stunned.
Before he could react, Ruan Zheng kissed him.
'Luo Yu,' Ruan Zheng whispered like a demon in his ear, 'because I love you.' Luo Yu woke up from the dream and subconsciously touched the empty space beside him, not finding Ruan Zheng who should have been lying there.
He looked at the electronic display screen by the bed, it was five o'clock in the morning.
He had fallen asleep watching Ruan Zheng last night, not knowing when he had fallen asleep.
He had forgotten most of the dream, but he still remembered Ruan Zheng speaking to him in the dream, his heart suddenly speeding up.
Luo Yu stood up and heard the sound of water from the swimming pool, so he walked over to take a look.
Ruan Zheng was swimming, he heard Luo Yu's voice and swam back.
It was still dark outside the room, with a hint of red light on the horizon, indicating the sunrise.
Ruan Zheng swam to the edge of the pool, emerged from the water, pushed his wet hair back, and lay down on the edge of the pool, smiling up at Luo Yu.
'Mr.
Luo is up so early,' he said.
Luo Yu couldn't see Ruan Zheng's face clearly, only the focused light in his eyes.
He half-squatted down, touched Ruan Zheng's wet hair, and said, 'I dreamt of you.' Ruan Zheng supported himself on the edge of the pool and climbed up.
He was wearing tight black swimming trunks, and his wet body shimmered with a radiant sheen.
He walked past Luo Yu and lay down on the beach chair, propping up his upper body with his elbows, showing great interest as he asked, 'What did you dream about?' 'You were cute when you were fourteen,' Luo Yu walked over, took a towel and covered Ruan Zheng, then sat down beside him, drying the water off Ruan Zheng's body with the towel, 'I really want to take a look.' Ruan Zheng paused and said, 'You've seen it before.' Luo Yu had no recollection at all.
He dried Ruan Zheng off and touched his cheek, asking, 'When?' Ruan Zheng gently held Luo Yu's hand and said, 'You've forgotten it all, how can I tell you.' 'Tell me and maybe it will come back to me.'
"Luoyu spread out some bath towels on Ruan Zheng's body and touched his shoulders.
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Zheng said, 'It was in Auntie's hotel, but you didn't see me.' Luoyu suddenly felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
It was as if he saw a fleeting image, and he didn't know if it was his imagination or if it actually happened.
In that brief image, when he and Shen Qiyun walked towards the small cabin where Yu Xin Xin lived, they passed by a young boy.
The boy was wearing oversized clothes, which looked familiar.
He had fair skin and big round eyes.
Luoyu didn't linger and averted his gaze, as if talking to Shen Qiyun.
However, the boy continued to look at him.
Luoyu lowered his head, and the face of the boy perfectly overlapped with Ruan Zheng's face before him.
'I remember you,' Luoyu said, 'you were wearing my clothes.' Ruan Zheng was stunned because Luoyu was right.
The two of them stared at each other for a while, and Ruan Zheng said, 'You are so stingy.
It's just a few old clothes.' Luoyu pinched Ruan Zheng's chin and leaned closer to him.
'Is it just because of those two clothes?' 'Then why?' Ruan Zheng licked Luoyu's lips and his kiss was wet and gentle, like in a dream but even more real and sweet.
Luoyu threw the towel he had personally covered Ruan Zheng with on the ground and deepened their kiss.
They moved from outside to inside the room.
Luoyu held Ruan Zheng's waist from behind and thrust into him, suddenly wanting Ruan Zheng to see how he was being taken.
He held Ruan Zheng's legs, as if holding urine, and carried him to the mirror, forcing him to open his eyes and look.
Ruan Zheng opened his eyes and saw himself being forced into a shameful position by Luoyu, with his legs spread apart.
Luoyu's thick and strong genitals were tightly wrapped by the organ that was not originally meant for pleasure.
Shamelessly, it moved in and out.
Luoyu lowered Ruan Zheng a bit and pushed in deeply.
Ruan Zheng watched the two people in the mirror joining together and couldn't help but cry out.
Ruan Zheng could never conceal his pleasure during sex.
He half-opened his eyes and watched as Luoyu spread his legs and entered and exited his body, with lubricant being squeezed out and frothing at their connection.
Luoyu rubbed against Ruan Zheng's most sensitive spot a few times, and Ruan Zheng suddenly reached out with his slender white hand and pressed it against Luoyu's purplish-red genitals, appearing seductive and licentious.
His fingertips touched the lubricant and he moaned, begging, 'Can you not go all the way in?' Luoyu stared at him, his eyes slightly red, and forcefully pushed upwards.
Ruan Zheng cried out in surprise, and his anus tightened around Luoyu.
Ruan Zheng gasped for breath and held onto the mirror, arching his body as if trying to move away from Luoyu, but Luoyu continued to thrust into him as if he had discovered something.
Ruan Zheng bit his lip, his eyes unfocused, and he placed his hand on his own erect penis, stroking it a few times until his hand was covered in translucent white fluid.
Luoyu was still not satisfied and continued recklessly pounding inside Ruan Zheng's body.
Ruan Zheng looked at himself in the mirror, almost losing control, and struggled to turn his head, brushing his lips against Luoyu's chin.
He intermittently said, 'Luoyu...you want...' Luoyu didn't hear what he said afterwards and slowed down, gradually pulling out most of the way before mercilessly thrusting back in."
Ruan Zheng was teased by him a few times, and could only make a gasping sound.
However, Luo Yi heard clearly this time.
Ruan Zheng said, "You have to look at me." Luo Yi looked at Ruan Zheng's face in the mirror, and his heart suddenly felt sour and soft.
He brought Ruan Zheng back to the bed, gently entered him from above, and kissed Ruan Zheng's eyelids.
Ruan Zheng raised his hand to cover his own red eyes.
Luo Yi opened Ruan Zheng's hand, whispering promises as he continued to work on him, "From now on, I will only look at you."
On New Year's Eve, Luo Yi guarded Ruan Zheng's wine glass and refused to let him drink, while he himself was forced to drink by two fathers and a troublemaker friend.
After dinner, Luo Yi refused Shen Qiyan's invitation to go to the casino and pulled Ruan Zheng back to the room.
Because the hotel prepared fireworks for the Chinese New Year at twelve o'clock, Luo Yi insisted on taking Ruan Zheng to watch.
Ruan Zheng didn't know what he meant, but still obediently opened the curtains and ordered a sobering soup for Luo Yi.
However, before the soup arrived, they started doing things that were not suitable for children.
Just as they were catching their breath, the wall clock in the living room struck twelve times.
Outside, the sound of fireworks launching into the sky, followed by beautiful explosions illuminating the sea and the starry sky.
After watching for a while, Ruan Zheng suddenly turned his head and asked Luo Yi, "How did you know about the fireworks I prepared on the opposite island?" "Do you like it?" Luo Yi tugged at the corner of his mouth, his eyes shining brightly.
His facial features were as cold and sharp as when Ruan Zheng first met him, but his gaze was incredibly gentle, as if he was looking at his most cherished treasure.
His indifference was for others, but tenderness belonged only to Ruan Zheng.
"I did it for you." After watching him quietly for a few seconds, Ruan Zheng almost dared not breathe forcefully, afraid that this side of Luo Yi would disappear.
After the fireworks were over, it was very quiet around them.
Luo Yilifted Ruan Zheng's chin with his hand and said, "Darling, make a New Year's wish." Ruan Zheng said, "I don't have any wishes." Luo Yi tapped his forehead against Ruan Zheng's forehead and said, "Then I'll make one." After a while, Ruan Zheng finally asked him, "What do you want?" Luo Yi looked into his eyes, where it was clearly written, "Whatever you want, I will bring it to you." Ruan Zheng had always been like this, but Luo Yi didn't know before.
Luo Yi lowered his head and gently touched Ruan Zheng's lips, telling him, "I hope you don't love me so much." He held Ruan Zheng's hand against his chest and said, "Love yourself more." Ruan Zheng didn't say anything.
He seemed like he was about to cry, but Luo Yi knew that Ruan Zheng was not the type of person who would cry.
"Can you?" Luo Yi asked Ruan Zheng.
Ruan Zheng looked at him, waited for a long time, and finally told Luo Yi, "No, I can't."
