Chapter 11 Spend Time Together

"Where are you going?" Tang Ximian asked breathlessly.

Si Yankai didn't answer and pulled him straight to the cable car station.

As the night deepened, the mountain wind was chilly and Tang Ximian couldn't help but sneeze.

Si Yankai took off his coat and put it on him with a little annoyance, then pulled him into the cable car.

The cable car slowly rose, and the lights not far away gradually faded away under our feet.

Tang Ximian looked at Si Yankai's tense profile and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

"Where the hell are you taking me?"

Si Yankai still didn't answer, but just held his hand a little tighter.

When the cable car reached halfway up the mountain, Tang Ximian was stunned.

Amidst the white snow, a patch of fiery red roses stands out.

Warm yellow light strips were wrapped around the wooden boards, which were covered with photos - photos of them in the amusement park when they were children, photos of them graduating from high school, and selfies taken under the Eiffel Tower last year... There were also some transparent balloons wrapped with glowing "stars".

"These are..."

Tang Ximian's voice was trembling.

Si Yankai turned around, his deep eyes reflecting the lights: "I wanted to talk about it tomorrow, but I can't wait. I can't wait to have a name so that I can be by your side openly and honestly."

He took a step forward and handed Tang Ximian the gorgeous, colorful bouquet of flowers that he had prepared in advance.

Snowflakes fell heavily, landing on the hair and shoulders of the two people.

"I like you, Tang Ximian."

Si Yankai's voice was low and gentle. "It's not the kind of love I have for a childhood friend. It's the kind of love that makes me want to spend the rest of my life with you. I've known you since I was six, and I couldn't help but protect you. Later, as my feelings for you began to blossom, I developed different feelings for you. Even though we've been apart for a while, I still love you."

Because of the heavy academic workload in high school, I was afraid that it would affect your college entrance examination, so I endured it and waited until now.

I want to ask, can you be my boyfriend now?

Tang Ximian held the flowers in her hand and felt her heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest.

He looked up at Si Yankai, his eyes a little hot: "You idiot..."

"I know I have a bad temper and I always like to control you and make you angry."

Si Yankai gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "But I really, really like you."

Tang Ximian stood on tiptoe and kissed Si Yankai lightly on the lips: "I like you too, and have liked you for a long time. I worked hard on the college entrance examination so that I could go to the same university as you."

Si Yankai's pupils suddenly contracted, and then he held the back of his head and deepened the kiss.

Snowflakes danced around the two of them, as if the whole world had become quiet, with only the sound of each other's heartbeats remaining.

When they let go, Tang Ximian's face was already as red as the sunset, and there was also a hint of red on the tips of Si Yankai's ears.

Si Yankai touched Tang Ximian's head and said, "Let's go back. It's too late. Don't catch a cold."

"What about these things?"

Tang Ximian gave a puzzled look.

"Don't worry, it won't blow away. I've asked the manager halfway up the mountain to keep an eye on it, so it'll be there tomorrow."

The two took the cable car down and walked hand in hand on the way back to the hotel. The street lights made their shadows very long.

When he was almost at the hotel entrance, he ran into Mu Jiu head-on.

"Yo, are you finally together?"

Mu Jiu raised an eyebrow at their clasped hands and said, "I thought Si Yankai would have to wait a while."

Si Yankai proudly shook the hand he was holding: "You are just envious, right?"

"Tsk," Mu Jiu rolled his eyes, "You two are just so full of dog food, I still need a midnight snack."

Tang Ximian blushed and tried to pull her hand back, but Si Yankai held it even tighter.

He leaned close to Tang Ximian's ear and said in a low voice, "Ignore him, let's go back to the room."

Under the moonlight, the two people's shadows snuggled together, as if they would stay like this until the end of time.
