Chapter 190 I hope we can be together forever
When Yan Yu led Shen Jin to the campfire, there were still some tomb raiders chatting around it.
Upon seeing the two approaching, the group greeted them.
"The young couple is here?" someone joked with a smile.
Ever since they saw the two of them being all lovey-dovey today, they've been discussing it for a long time, and they all think the two of them are a perfect match, so they started teasing them with this nickname.
Upon hearing his words, a tomb raider next to him slapped him on the back of the head.
"What are you saying? Don't just pair up two people randomly!" the tomb raider said with a laugh.
There was not a trace of blame in his tone; on the contrary, one could hear the agreement.
The other tomb raiders burst into laughter. They did indeed think Yan Yu and Shen Jin were a good match; they hadn't realized before.
Yan Yu couldn't help but admire them; how could they have discussed things to this extent in such a short time?
"Did you take him to bathe?" one of the tomb raiders asked at that moment.
"Yes, I washed it." Yan Yu nodded in response.
As he spoke, Yan Yu took Shen Jin's hand and sat down with him by the fire.
The tomb raider looked at Shen Jin and laughed again.
"Look at all the fuss you made before, all you wanted was a bath. Now that you're done, are you happy?" the tomb raider asked jokingly.
Shen Jin nodded: "Yes, I'm happy."
Yan Yu picked up a stick from beside him and poked at the fire absently without saying a word.
He could hardly bear to think about what had happened while he was taking a shower, while Shen Jin was relaxed and knew nothing about it.
"Haha, how do you guys take a bath?" the tomb raider chuckled, then continued to ask.
Yan Yu coughed twice, trying to avoid the topic.
"Well, this fire seems quite comfortable to warm you up." Yan Yu didn't want to continue the conversation about bathing, so he awkwardly changed the subject.
However, Shen Jin didn't notice Yan Yu's subtle hints at all and continued chatting honestly with the tomb raiders.
"Yan Yu helped me wash it." Shen Jin sat on a rock, hugging his knees with his arms, looking very obedient like a primary school student.
Everyone was stunned for a moment upon hearing his words.
"Did Yan Yu wash you?" someone asked.
Everyone was a little confused. Someone as big as Shen Jin should be able to take a bath by himself. If Yan Yu was helping him, they inexplicably thought of something else.
"Ahem, don't overthink it, I just rubbed his back." Yan Yu quickly explained, afraid that everyone would misunderstand.
"Oh...I see." Everyone responded in unison.
Their tone was one of complete disbelief, and their eyes seemed to say, "I understand."
Yan Yu was immediately at a loss for words, neither laughing nor crying.
Shen Jin blinked and looked at Yan Yu, wondering why Yan Yu had suddenly said that.
"And then what? Yan Yu gave you a bath, and then what? Did you all take off your clothes?" At this moment, a curious tomb raider asked again.
"No."
"Yes, I've taken it off."
Two voices rang out at the same time.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Shen Jin and Yan Yu. Shen Jin also looked at Yan Yu with some confusion, wondering why he said no.
In the end, everyone tacitly agreed to believe Shen Jin's words and looked at him with gossip in their eyes.
"And then?" everyone asked almost in unison.
Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the tomb raiders before he finally reacted.
“Then…” Shen Jin uttered blankly.
"It's just helping to scrub someone's back, what's the big deal?" Yan Yu continued to try to change the subject.
However, Chen Jin continued speaking.
"I felt Yan Yu was acting a bit strange while he was taking a bath," Shen Jin said to the tomb raiders.
"What's strange about it?" someone immediately asked.
Before Yan Yu could speak, Shen Jin answered him directly:
However, the uke foolishly said that the seme was acting strangely while taking a shower, and thought it meant that several parts of him were odd, and that he wasn't even looking at me...
When he said those words, Shen Jin's voice carried a hint of grievance.
Yan Yu immediately pressed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. Now these people would definitely have figured out the gist of it all.
He didn't think it was a big deal, but he was afraid that Shen Jin would be angry if he found out.
As expected, upon hearing Shen Jin's words, the tomb raiders' expressions changed instantly, and they looked at Yan Yu and Shen Jin with a meaningful gaze.
Before this, they had made many guesses about the relationship between Shen Jin and Yan Yu, but they had never thought about it in this way.
However, judging from their behavior in the past few days, the two are very likely in a romantic relationship.
Although no one was certain that they were in a romantic relationship, the tomb raiders tacitly accepted the relationship between the two.
Because all the signs were so obvious.
First, Yan Yu found Shen Jin and pestered him every day. Even though Shen Jin treated him coldly, he still wanted to get Shen Jin's forgiveness.
If they weren't in a romantic relationship, it's hard to imagine what other kind of relationship Yan Yu could have gone to such lengths.
Hearing Shen Jin say this now, everyone immediately felt that the relationship between the two of them was exactly as they had imagined.
"Could you elaborate a bit more on what exactly is strange?" someone continued to probe.
Everyone is very interested in this topic now, and they are all looking at Chen Jin with gossipy expressions.
"We..." Shen Jin didn't think much before he was about to speak.
"Alright, stop chatting. Let's warm ourselves by the fire and go back to sleep." Before Shen Jin could finish speaking, Yan Yu interrupted him.
He couldn't let Shen Jin say it; that was absolutely unacceptable, so he had to stop Shen Jin from speaking.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was immediately puzzled: "I can talk to them while I'm warming myself by the fire, it's not a problem."
"Just don't say anything," Yan Yu said directly to Shen Jin.
He didn't know how to talk to Shen Jin. In fact, no matter what he said, Shen Jin wouldn't understand at first, which was why he found it troublesome.
"Why can't I say?" Shen Jin immediately protested.
“Yeah, yeah, what can’t be said?” one of the tomb raiders chimed in.
Another tomb raider immediately added, "Come on, come on, it's okay."
Seeing their curiosity, Shen Jin prepared to tell them.
"Shen Jin." Yan Yu called out softly, interrupting Shen Jin by calling his name.
This time, Shen Jin acted as if he hadn't heard at all and continued to speak to them.
Everyone stared at Chen Jin, holding their breath, ready to listen intently to what he was about to say.
The only sounds around were breathing and the crackling of firewood burning in the fire.
"Shen Jin, stop fooling around, let's go back to sleep," Yan Yu continued to persuade Shen Jin.
"No." Shen Jin shook his head, not really wanting to go to sleep yet.
Seeing Shen Jin like this, Yan Yu realized that no amount of persuasion would work.
So Yan Yu simply picked up Shen Jin and carried him in his arms.
"Back then it was... eh??" Shen Jin was about to speak when he suddenly felt himself being lifted into the air, and he froze.
Then, Yan Yu simply scooped up Shen Jin in his arms, giving him another perfect princess carry.
Seeing the two men's actions, the tomb raiders were silent for a few seconds, followed by a burst of screams and cheers.
Yan Yu pretended not to hear their jeers and calmly said, "I'll take him to bed first."
After saying that, Yan Yu carried Shen Jin away without looking back, leaving behind a cacophony of noise.
On the way, Shen Jin still clung to Yan Yu's neck, completely bewildered, and looked at him, saying, "I haven't even finished speaking, why do you want to go to sleep?"
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu looked down at him. Shen Jin blinked, still staring intently at Yan Yu, waiting for him to give him an answer.
Yan Yu remained silent for a while, then carried Shen Jin back to the cave entrance before putting him down. Shen Jin still looked unhappy. They had been chatting happily when Yan Yu suddenly carried him away, so Shen Jin was still a little upset.
"Shen Jin," Yan Yu called out to Shen Jin.
"Hmm?" Shen Jin responded.
"There are some things you can't just tell others, you know?" Yan Yu said, looking at Shen Jin.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin paused for a moment, then tilted his head, still completely bewildered.
"Why?" Shen Jin blinked and asked.
Yan Yu patiently explained to him, "Because this happened between the two of us, it's a secret between the two of us, and only the other person knows it. It can't be told to anyone else."
Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes filled with something bright and sparkling.
Is it a secret between two people that only the other knows?
"Well, do you understand?" Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin and asked again in a softer voice.
Shen Jin nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood.
“I understand. So, the fact that we took a bath together today is a secret between the two of us. We can’t tell anyone else. Only the two of us can know.” Shen Jin laughed and replied.
Hearing Shen Jin say this, Yan Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
Fortunately, although Shen Jin was as stubborn as a child at this time, he was also as easy to coax as a child, otherwise it is unknown whether Shen Jin would continue to make a fuss.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go to sleep." Seeing that Shen Jin had quieted down, Yan Yu took the opportunity to quickly change the subject and get Shen Jin to sleep.
However, Shen Jin shook his head, looking aggrieved.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to sleep?" Yan Yu asked, looking at Shen Jin.
"Hmm, I'm not sleepy yet," Shen Jin nodded in reply.
Upon hearing Shen Jin say he wasn't sleepy, Yan Yu immediately felt overwhelmed. Shen Jin was always the most well-behaved when he was asleep.
"It's okay, go back and lie down first. I'll tell you a story, and then you'll slowly fall asleep." Yan Yu decided to tell Chen Jin a story.
This way, Chen Jin might be able to fall asleep sooner.
"No, I don't want to sleep. I'm not sleepy, and I don't want to hear stories." Shen Jin shook his head again.
After saying that, Shen Jin sighed heavily and looked up at the sky.
Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin, about to say something, when he suddenly saw many stars in the night sky, which were particularly beautiful.
"Then will you come with me to see the stars?" Shen Jin's eyes lit up as she asked Yan Yu.
Hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu was somewhat puzzled: "Stars?"
As he spoke, Yan Yu subconsciously looked up at the starry sky and indeed found that the night sky was particularly beautiful, with bright stars hanging high above the dark blue curtain.
Seeing that Yan Yu did not answer, Shen Jin continued to speak, and her first words were in a coquettish tone: "Okay, let's go see the stars, I'm really not sleepy right now."
"It's a bit cold this late, just look at it like this." Yan Yu said to Shen Jin.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin immediately became unhappy.
Upon seeing the change in Shen Jin's expression, Yan Yu knew he was unhappy and immediately laughed.
"Alright, alright, I'm not kidding anymore. I'll take you to see it," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin finally smiled.
Seeing Shen Jin's smile, Yan Yu also smiled faintly.
Then, Yan Yu reached out and took Shen Jin's hand: "Then let's go to that spot where we basked in the sun today to look at the stars. It's very convenient there."
“Okay.” Shen Jin nodded, naturally having no objections.
So Yan Yu took Shen Jin back to the place where they had been sunbathing earlier that day.
"It's already late. Look at the stars for a while and then go back to sleep. Don't stay up too late," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin, holding his hand.
Shen Jin nodded and responded.
Then, just like when they were sunbathing during the day, Yan Yu held Shen Jin in his arms, and Shen Jin was still nestled in Yan Yu's arms.
The two looked at the stars in the sky, twinkling and shining, which was particularly beautiful. The moon they saw in the mountains was quite different from the one they saw in reality.
As they gazed at the stars, neither Yan Yu nor Shen Jin spoke, and for a moment, a subtle atmosphere settled between them.
I didn't feel embarrassed at all; I just felt a wonderful feeling.
"So beautiful..." Shen Jin gazed at the stars for a long time before suddenly exclaiming.
"Yes, it is very beautiful," Yan Yu replied with a smile.
Before them lay a sky full of stars, so many that they almost filled the entire night sky.
"This is the most beautiful night sky I've ever seen." Not only Shen Jin, but Yan Yu also thought the night sky was exceptionally beautiful.
This was Yan Yu's first time seeing stars in the mountains. He had never seen such a beautiful night sky before, as if he could reach out and touch it.
Hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin smiled slightly: "I like it very much."
It's not just because of these beautiful stars, but also because of the people around me.
Because Yan Yu was by his side, he was especially happy, a kind of happiness that was indescribable.
“I like it very much too.” Yan Yu smiled, reached out and hugged Shen Jin, and gently kissed his forehead.
Shen Jin blinked, looked at Yan Yu, and then chuckled softly.
I really, really want to live like this for the rest of my life.
“Look.” Shen Jin suddenly pointed to a star for Yan Yu to see.
"What?" Yan Yu responded and looked over.
But what I noticed was that the star Chen Jin was pointing to was exceptionally bright, dazzling in the night sky.
"Do people turn into stars in the sky after they die?" Shen Jin continued to ask Yan Yu.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's somewhat childish question, Yan Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
Before Yan Yu could answer, Shen Jin continued, "Look, that star is me, and that one is you. We are very, very close."
Yan Yu looked up and saw the two stars that Shen Jin was pointing to. They were not very bright and appeared particularly small in the night sky, but the two stars were very close to the ground.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?" Yan Yu asked with a smile, looking at the two stars.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him with a puzzled expression.
"Isn't it said that you only go to heaven and become a star after you die?" Yan Yu smiled and continued.
Shen Jin then understood Yan Yu's words and laughed along.
"I'm not afraid. As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid. What I'm most afraid of is that you will leave me." Shen Jin hugged Yan Yu tightly, snuggled against him, and said coquettishly.
Yan Yu had almost no resistance to such a soft and fluffy Shen Jin, and smiled as he reached out to pat his head.
“Let’s make a wish upon the star.” Shen Jin took Yan Yu’s hand and pointed to a star: “That’s the wishing star.”
Yan Yu knew that this was a random finger that Shen Jin had picked, but he was still willing to play along with Shen Jin's antics.
“Okay, let’s make a wish together then,” Yan Yu replied with a smile.
"Okay, I'll count to three, and we'll make a wish together. It can come true." Shen Jin looked at the starry sky, then turned to Yan Yu and spoke with a smile.
The moonlight and starlight all reflected Shen Jin's smile, and Yan Yu was momentarily lost in thought.
It wasn't until Shen Jin had already made the gesture of clasping his hands together in a wish that Yan Yu realized what was happening. He then followed Shen Jin's example and clasped his hands together, looking at the star that Shen Jin had pointed to earlier.
"Make sure you close your eyes when you make a wish, otherwise it won't come true," Shen Jin said, glancing at Yan Yu.
"Okay." Yan Yu replied with a smile, then gently closed his eyes.
Seeing that Yan Yu had closed his eyes, Shen Jin secretly smiled, then lowered his hands and quietly approached Yan Yu.
"I hope... Shen Jin can live a peaceful, healthy, and happy life," Yan Yu whispered his wish.
Also, I hope Shen Jin can forgive him.
However, Yan Yu only said the second half of the sentence in his heart.
Upon hearing Yan Yuxu's wish, Shen Jin was stunned for a moment before chuckling a few times.
Immediately afterward, Shen Jin suddenly lunged at Yan Yu from behind, hugged him tightly, and covered his eyes, saying, "I hope we can be together forever."
Just as Yan Yu was about to grab Shen Jin's hand, he froze slightly upon hearing Shen Jin's words.
Before he could speak, Yan Yu suddenly felt Shen Jin kiss his cheek, and Yan Yu's back stiffened instantly.
"Shen Jin, do you know what you're doing?" Yan Yu grasped Shen Jin's hand and spoke in a low voice, slightly hoarse.
Shen Jin blinked innocently, about to answer, when he suddenly saw many fireflies flying over.
One or two of them, each radiating a crystalline light, were like stars fallen from the night sky, so beautiful they were almost mesmerizing.
"Wow, they're fireflies!" Shen Jin exclaimed excitedly.
After saying this, Shen Jin released his hand from Yan Yu's eyes, took a few steps forward, and reached out to touch the fireflies.
Yan Yu opened his eyes and saw the fireflies. Seeing how happy Shen Jin was, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"So beautiful..." Shen Jin exclaimed.
As he spoke, Shen Jin continued to try to touch the fireflies, but the fireflies were so agile that Shen Jin couldn't reach them at all.
This happened several times, and Shen Jin finally became somewhat unhappy.
Finally, unable to catch any fireflies, Shen Jin returned dejectedly and sat down next to Yan Yu.
"Do you like it?" Yan Yu turned to look at Shen Jin and asked.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was overjoyed and nodded vigorously, "I like it, I really like it, but I can't catch it."
"Then I'll help you. You wait for me here." Yan Yu stroked Chen Jin's hair, his voice gentle.
Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu, listened to Yan Yu's soft and gentle voice, and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay!"
So Yan Yu got up to catch fireflies, while Shen Jin sat obediently in place, watching Yan Yu with a smile.
"There's one behind you," Shen Jin said to Yan Yu with a smile, looking at the fireflies. "Catch it quickly!"
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu immediately turned around and reached out to catch the firefly. However, just as he was about to catch it, the firefly flew away.
Seeing that he hadn't caught this one, Chen Jin was a little disappointed.
Immediately, Chen Jin hurriedly smiled and directed, "It's back, on your left!"
Yan Yu hurriedly turned to the left to catch the firefly.
They still couldn't catch them this time.
Shen Jin stood there frantically giving instructions, but unfortunately, fireflies were too difficult to catch. Several times, Yan Yu had already caught one, but it still slipped through his fingers.
Shen Jin was itching to join in, and after watching Yan Yu for a while, he got up and ran over to Yan Yu to catch fireflies with him.
"I'm here, I'm here! I'm here to help you!" Shen Jin skipped over and excitedly told Yan Yu, "This looks like so much fun!"
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu instinctively turned around to look.
At this moment, Shen Jin was suddenly tripped by a stone under his feet, lost his balance, and fell forward.
"Be careful!" Yan Yu was startled and quickly stepped forward.
Fortunately, the two were very close, and Yan Yu caught him and helped him steady himself.
"Are you alright?" Yan Yu asked.
Shen Jin shook his head: "It's nothing."
Yan Yu then wrapped his arms around Shen Jin's neck and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss his forehead: "Be careful."
After being kissed by Yan Yu, Shen Jin smiled and touched the spot on his forehead where Yan Yu had kissed him.
A moment later, Shen Jin also reached out and hugged Yan Yu, then looked up and kissed Yan Yu on the lips.
After Shen Jin finished kissing him, his eyes crinkled with laughter as he looked at Yan Yu and mysteriously said, "If you help me catch fireflies, I'll give you a reward."
