"Congratulations, Jiang Li. Happy 18th birthday! From today on, you are an adult. As an adult, you may encounter many things, ups and downs, and all kinds of hardships in life, but I hope you can always stay strong like you are today."
Mo Jingchun gently stretched out his hands and placed the gentian flowers on Jiang Li's hands. "Come on, make a wish. Make a wish to this shooting star, and it will surely come true."
"Mo Jingchun, you know I won't agree to it."
Jiang Li put his legs together and did not take the gentian flowers from Mo Jingchun's hand. Instead, he slowly put his hands together, hugged his knees, and buried his head in them.
Mo Jingchun sighed and put the gentian flowers aside.
"Jiang Li, you said you're sensitive and fragile, with a strong sense of self-esteem. Your family wasn't good, and perhaps there are many things in your past that I don't know about. There may be many dark places in your life that I don't know about. Perhaps in this year I haven't even touched upon your true inner thoughts."
Mo Jingchun paused for a moment and looked up at the night sky.
"But I don't care. I don't care about your past. I only care about you now. It's because I followed my heart that I've come this far with you."
Jiang Li still maintained her previous posture. She seemed to have turned into a silent statue, listening quietly to Mo Jingchun's confession.
"I know you won't agree, but so what?"
Mo Jingchun smiled. "I love you. This is a fact that you cannot change. No matter what you say, I will always love you. I will remain true to this until you change your mind."
The meteors are still continuing, they are streaking across the sky with their long tails, they are carrying the wishes of everyone watching this meteor, they are slowly drifting towards the farther reaches of the universe.
Perhaps they will eventually turn into nothingness, but the meaning they once had will never disappear.
Because people's wishes are beautiful and pure.
Jiang Li slowly raised his head and looked into Mo Jingchun's eyes. Those eyes were so clear that he could see the stars without even looking up. The stars were in his eyes.
"Why me?"
"Why you?" Mo Jingchun smiled and shook his head, "Because you are Jiang Li, that's why it's you."
Jiang Li trembled all over, slowly closed his eyes, and two tears rolled down.
Grandma, can someone like me really be loved?
But, it is me, I am just like this.
He said he didn't care about my past, but I was scared, really scared.
Jiang Li was trembling all over and she hugged herself tightly. She hated being alone and she hated being lonely, but she had no choice. She could only endure it silently, even though it was not her fault.
Mo Jingchun smiled gently, tears streaming from his eyes.
Mo Jingchun once swore that he would never be weak again and would never shed a tear again.
But at this moment, when he saw Jiang Li hugging him and crying, he still couldn't control himself and shed tears of heartache.
He really loves her, very much.
Mo Jingchun hugged Jiang Li and didn't say anything.
They are like two fireflies lost in the night, snuggling together tightly, using each other's light to illuminate the darkness in front of each other.
Grandma, maybe I really found the person who can love me in your place.
"Mo Jingchun." Jiang Li raised his head and revealed his face.
"I am here."
Mo Jingchun sat up straight, waiting for Jiang Li's reply.
"You have to promise me one thing."
"What?"
"You have to promise me that if one day you find out that I've cheated on you, you will never abandon me."
Jiang Li shed tears, mustered up the courage, and once again showed his heart, which was on the verge of breaking, to someone without reservation.
"Jiang Li, I promise you, no matter what happens in the future, no matter if you have hidden anything from me, I will never abandon you."
Mo Jingchun's expression was extremely serious. He said word by word, "I love you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life."
"Really?" Jiang Li stared blankly at the sky. The meteor shower had already ended. "Then, I love you too."
Mo Jingchun hugged Jiang Li tightly. The two lonely hearts finally found each other's home today.
Happiness means finding peace and belonging in your heart.
That's all that's needed.
That's all.
That's fine.
