Chapter 857 Congratulations, you finally waited for your number 19
Their eyes met.
Jin Wu once again looked into Duan Shi Yan's fiery and affectionate eyes, and at that moment, his heart beat violently in his chest.
It's like eating a sweet and sour orange. While it tastes sweet, it also has a slightly bitter and sour taste.
The wet tears blurred my vision uncontrollably again.
Jin Wu only felt that the bitterness became stronger and filled her entire heart, making the slight curve at the corner of her lips look like she was crying.
How could someone be so stupid as him...
I've been waiting for so long.
But the first time he saw her, it was like a miracle from heaven. He lifted her up high like the moon and held her in his arms like a treasure.
He didn't even complain a bit about why she came so late, and he felt that he was a lucky person favored by fate.
But if you are really blessed by fate.
He wouldn't have to wait so long in vain...
Ever since she learned that this proud and ostentatious prince of the Beijing circle had secretly liked her for so long during their youth, her love for her has only grown stronger.
Jin Wu, however, was not happy at all.
Only full of heartache.
She looked at Duan Shiyan, whose eyes were as passionate and deep as ever for her.
That was the warm sincerity she had longed for since she was a child, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes again.
"Duan Shiyan, you are such an idiot."
Jin Wu raised her arms and hugged his neck tightly, her nose sore, "You are really stupid... so stupid..."
Instead of being a favored child of heaven, he chose to embark on the most bitter and painful secret love.
Once I left, I didn't leave myself any room to turn back.
Although he had the capital to openly fall in love with her, he chose to stand behind her silently because he was worried that it would cause her some trouble and burden.
Even if they meet again, even if she finally falls in love with him, she is still afraid that these things will make her feel heavy.
Even though I had waited so long to finally get what I wanted, I still felt ecstatic as if I had won the first prize, as if I had won the whole world.
But it’s Duan Shiyan.
Do you know what you have to pay for the so-called luck?
It is the hidden sadness of not being able to get close for many years, and the pain of not being able to love.
The unbridled prodigy turned into a cautious and restrained humble person, and his eternal pride was broken.
I have experienced two close calls between life and death...
How could you not even mention all the costs you paid and just casually say you were lucky...
Really, so stupid...
Jin Wu swallowed the sore throat, tears once again unable to hold back and slid down his cheeks, "Stupid, Duan Shiyan, how could you be so stupid..."
The man who was repeatedly labeled as an idiot simply lowered his eyes with a doting look and chuckled.
He raised the back of his hand and patiently wiped away the tears from her face. His eyebrows curved, and his slightly raised tone was mixed with a bit of pride. "Yeah, liking someone will make you become an idiot."
"Okay, okay, why are you crying again?"
Seeing Jin Wu start to cry again, Duan Shiyan sighed softly with pity and leaned over to kiss away her falling tears. "If our little birthday girl keeps crying, she's really going to flood the entire hospital."
"These ten years seem like a long time, but it's actually not that bad. I really don't feel wronged or miserable at all, so please don't be sad for me anymore."
Duan Shiyan lowered his eyes to look at Jin Wu's red eyes from crying, then leaned over and kissed her eyes again with tenderness, "I gave the person I loved when I was sixteen to myself now, and I am very happy."
He stroked Jin Wu's cheek with his fingertips, the corners of his lips curled up, "Sixteen-year-old Duan Shiyan also felt the same way."
"So stop crying, okay?"
Duan Shiyan lowered his long eyelashes and kissed her gently without any lust.
He patiently coaxed her not to cry, but the corners of his eyes slowly turned red, "I will feel bad."
Jin Wu sniffed and tried hard to suppress the tears that were welling up in his eyes.
But those tears seemed to have thoughts of their own. No matter how hard she tried to hold them back, they were like a switch turned on, and they kept rolling down like beads with a broken string.
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if I still didn't like you in the end?"
Jin Qi blinked her red eyes, "What if, by the end, I still haven't discovered the truth that you've been secretly in love with me for so long?"
"Do you still want to wait..."
As if she had hit the nail on the head, before she could finish, that deep, slightly hoarse voice sounded solemnly, "Then continue to wait."
Duan Shiyan met Jin Wu's tearful eyes and said, "Wait until you fall in love with me."
The puppy's love is warm and sincere, but also firm and persistent.
As long as he identifies a person, that person is his only truth.
So even if he had taken ninety-nine steps, even if she had not taken the last step, it didn't matter.
Anyway, I have already taken ninety-nine steps, so the last step doesn’t matter.
"Didn't I promise you?"
Duan Shiyan held Jin Wu's hand, staring straight into her eyes with a scorching, burning gaze, like a fire that would never go out. "From now on, I will be your puppy, a loyal and passionate puppy that you would want to have."
"So what if the master still doesn't like him?"
"The puppy's love is always reserved only for you."
Jin Wu's heart was shaken again.
She was not born into a healthy and warm family.
The long-term lack of love has made her long countless times for someone who can love her 100% sincerely and forever like the puppy in the puppy literature.
And her growing up experience taught her that if she wanted to be loved, she had to pay something.
She never thought that one day, there would be a person who would walk towards her firmly across mountains and seas without caring whether she had made any efforts or not.
Still so grand and fiery.
Like the bright and scorching sun, like the burning and inextinguishable flame.
Jin Wu felt that her tears were about to fall again, "But I clearly haven't done anything for you. I caused you to have a car accident back then, and now you've been injured trying to save me who was trapped in the snowy mountains..."
It was like no matter how many balls she threw, he would always catch them firmly.
"What nonsense!"
Duan Shiyan leaned over and gently stroked the corners of her eyes with his fingertips. Even though he was in the hospital ward, he still couldn't stop the youthful vigor and ambition in his eyes and eyebrows. "If you love someone, of course you have to risk your life to protect them."
"So you don't have to pay anything, and you don't have to make any changes."
Duan Shiyan's lips curled slightly, his dark eyes burning, "Just wait for your puppy to stride towards you."
Jin Wu's tearful eyelashes trembled.
Her wet eyes couldn't help but fall on the blue diamond wedding ring they were wearing, and a sour feeling began to well up in her throat again.
That day in the store, Duan Shiyan held her hand and told her that this ring was a wedding gift from him as an old classmate to her and Fu Yuchen.
Old classmate.
Wedding gift.
The words that I hadn't reacted to at that time were now like two sharp blades piercing my heart, causing endless heartbreaking pain to erupt once again.
Although he is a secret admirer, his first wish is not to get what he wants.
But she was able to do what she wanted.
It seemed that in his heart, love was not the first priority, but she was.
As long as she is happy and well, it doesn't matter if the person next to her is not him.
Jin Wu pursed his lips, and his eyes became hot again.
She suppressed the tears that were about to well up in her eyes, and after a long while she slowly found her voice, "Is it worth it..."
Duan Shiyan curled his lips and chuckled again.
"Didn't you often read a book in the library before? What was it called, 'The Little Prince'?"
He held Imagiri's hand and said, "There's a sentence in it that I really like."
"To create a bond with someone is to risk tears."
“I’m not afraid of shedding tears, but I have to make them worth it.”
Duan Shiyan stared deeply into her eyes, his dark and deep pupils burning with a cluster of eternally blazing fire, "Jin Wu, you are always worthy."
"Who else said you've never done anything for me?"
The corners of his lips curved slightly, "If you hadn't realized your feelings and bravely ran towards me, there would be no secret love for No. 20 that would come true."
"It is your courage that has made me successful."
Duan Shiyan stretched out his other hand, which was still receiving an IV drip, and regardless of the risk of blood loss, he reached for the beautifully wrapped gift on the table not far ahead.
Last night, Xue Nan thought that when Duan Shiyan woke up, he could give his sister-in-law a birthday present in time, so he brought the flowers and gifts in advance.
He gently placed the box in Jin Wu's hand, his eyes sparkling. "This is a birthday present for my little birthday boy. Open it now and take a look."
Jin Wu suppressed the soreness in his nose and slowly opened the lid of the box.
I saw two exquisitely carved bracelets.
Although the bracelets look like two pieces, they are designed to be connected to each other. The two planet-shaped pendants made of high-purity crystals are embellished on their respective chains.
Just like the stars orbiting each other in the Milky Way universe, each emitting its own romantic and brilliant nebula color.
"This is....."
Jin Wu stared at the exquisite nebula bracelet in a daze. Based on the colors of the planets on it, he quickly recognized that the two planets were Pluto and its satellite Charon.
It was like a flash of lightning passing through his mind, and Jin Wu's breathing couldn't help but pause slightly.
She remembered the spring study tour during her sophomore year in high school when the school took them to the planetarium.
The entire venue is very large, and it not only has many science areas dedicated to explaining knowledge, but also many interactive areas with high playability.
At that time, most of the students excitedly rushed to famous areas such as the Sun Exhibition Hall and Interstellar to check in.
Jin Wu walked quietly at the end alone to see the corridor where a lot of scientific knowledge about the universe was posted.
She couldn't help but stop when she saw the screen introducing Pluto.
Pluto is the farthest planet from the sun in the solar system, especially after astronomers redefined the concept of planet and voted to exclude it from the list of planets.
Since then, it has become the loneliest and coldest planet in the universe, with only one satellite, Charon, silently accompanying it in the distant interstellar space 19,540 kilometers away.
Jin Wu remembered that there was a sentence at the bottom of the screen at that time -
"Every Pluto has its Charon. May everyone find his Charon."
At that time, Jin Wu looked up at the two planets for a long time, until she turned around and left, and looked back inadvertently.
She saw Duan Shiyan standing where she had just stood, looking in the direction she had just looked.
Just then the screen began to introduce the satellite Charon.
Since a long time ago, Jin Wu has always longed for someone to love her passionately and sincerely like the puppy in Puppy Literature.
She longed to have her own Charon like Pluto.
All the desires that were once out of reach are now fulfilled.
Not only did she have the warmest and most sincere puppy.
I also have the most pious and warm Charon.
She thought she was going to walk alone on this cold and quiet road.
There was already someone quietly following her with full of passionate love.
Jin Wu raised his eyes and looked straight into Duan Shiyan's eyes, and his red eyes became moist again.
This is a materialistic world, and happy endings with twists and turns can only appear in fairy tales.
Until he appeared in front of me.
She heard the sound of fate reversing and the sound of a new story turning.
He took her hand and led her from the thorny swamp to the land of blazing, bright light.
He represents "another ending."
One that leads to a happy and beautiful ending.
"Why are you just looking at me and not saying anything?"
Seeing Jin Wu's eyes redden again, Duan Shiyan was once again at a loss as to what to do. He wanted to raise his hand to touch her cheek, ready to wipe her tears, "Don't you like this birthday gift..."
I was only halfway through my sentence.
Jin Wu had already raised her hands and hooked them around his neck, pulling him down gently, tilting her cheek up, and kissing him on the lips.
The soft touch aroused me.
Duan Shiyan's back stiffened slightly.
The next second, his long fingers slid into her hair, and he willingly bent down to her with his head lowered, then opened his thin lips slightly and kissed her lips more deeply.
It was bright outside the window.
The blizzard that had been raging all night had turned into a thin drizzle, which was dripping down in the pale golden sunlight, like a romantic bystander.
"In fact, you taught me what love is all over again."
Jin Wu's nose was slightly away from Duan Shiyan's. Her bright eyes looked directly into his eyes that were burning with love. Her lips slowly curved up, "Only then can I correctly realize my feelings again and have the courage to take the initiative to run towards you."
"You're a hero."
Jin Wu's tearful eyes curved into a charming arc, "You are the hero of love."
"Duan Shiyan."
"I love you."
As if saying it once wasn't enough, Jin Wu hugged Duan Shiyan's neck, her eyes moist, "I love you, I really, really love you."
"Congratulations, my number 20."
Jin Wu bent her tear-soaked eyes, met the man's reddened ones, and said seriously, word by word, "You finally waited for your number 19."
