Chapter 855 The person I love finally becomes my lover
That blessing came ten years late.
Finally, I could say it in front of her with a clear conscience.
Jin Wu stared blankly into Jin Duan Shiyan's fiery and affectionate eyes. Her eyes, which were wet from crying, suddenly turned red and tears burst out again.
In the week before her birthday, she had already received many gifts and blessings.
But all of them combined are not as good as this seemingly simple "Happy Birthday".
The lover woke up and the truth was revealed. It should have been a touching and happy moment.
But Jin Wu only felt that her chest was still filled with infinite sourness, and she opened her mouth to say something.
But all the words seemed to be blocked, and she could only make choked sounds, and her shoulders were shaking from crying.
"Why is our little birthday boy crying again?"
Duan Shiyan sighed again with regret and helplessness.
He raised his hand and gently stroked the corners of Xiang Jinwu's red eyes, gently wiping away the tears on her face. "It's all my fault. I made our little birthday girl worry for so long. I apologize to you, okay? Be good, don't cry. If you cry any more, you'll have a headache. Be good..."
It was he who braved the snowstorm to save her, and it was he who slid down the hillside to protect her with his own flesh and blood.
It was he who dragged his scarred body and held her while waiting for rescue. It was also he who loved her silently for ten years.
But now, because of her tears, he apologized to her out of guilt.
Seeing Jin Wu crying so hard again.
Duan Shiyan frowned even more distressedly.
Suddenly, she was at a loss as to what to do and kept wiping away the tears that kept rolling down her face. The corners of her lips curved in a helpless arc. "I accidentally went too far in bed before, and I didn't see the baby crying so hard. Why is he crying so hard now? He's like he's made of water."
"Be good and stop crying, okay?"
"Today is our little birthday girl's birthday, you can't keep crying. Otherwise, if you shed all your tears now, what will you do if you can't cry in bed later?"
Duan Shiyan raised his fingertips and gently stroked her tear-soaked cheek. He had no choice but to tease her deliberately, "You know, I just like to see you cry in bed. The more you cry, the more excited I get."
Normally, if he had said such coquettish and naughty words, he would only have been met with an embarrassed and angry glare or a punch from Jin Wu.
But now she still held his hand tightly, and her thick eyelashes were once again soaked with tears and almost stuck together into clumps.
Duan Shiyan's eyes once again showed helplessness and heartache.
He ignored the fact that his other hand was still receiving an IV and tried to sit up by supporting himself on the bed.
"Duan Shiyan, what do you want to do!"
Noticing his movements, Jin Wu quickly raised her head and reached out to support him, helping him sit up on the bed. "Don't move, be careful not to pull the wound."
Really.
Why is everything so messed up right after waking up?
Just as she nervously lowered her eyes to check the wound on his body, she heard the man in front of her chuckle softly.
"Are you finally willing to pay attention to me?"
Duan Shiyan bent his fingertips and gently rubbed the tip of Jin Wu's slightly wrinkled nose. His deep eyes were filled with tenderness and doting that seemed to overflow. "I thought our Doctor Jin was too busy being a crybaby to pay attention to your little dog."
"Wuwu."
Duan Shiyan's eyebrows were smiling, his dark eyes sparkling, like the spirited young man he was back then. He opened his arms towards her and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Hug me."
At this moment, Jin Wu felt as if his entire heart was being plucked a few times.
She could no longer suppress the throbbing in her heart, so she half-bent over, carefully avoiding the wound on his back, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and gently hugged her No. 20.
It wasn't the first time we hugged each other.
But at this moment, it was like standing at another intersection and finally meeting a lover whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
Jin Wu couldn't help but tighten his arms, and tears welled up in his red eyes again.
"Duan Shiyan."
She swallowed her sore throat and said in a hoarse voice, "When did you start to like me?"
"What did I do on September 1st?"
He is clearly the most noble and proud child of destiny, someone that no one can reach, just like the bright and unbridled sun that always hangs high in the sky.
But on the first day of school, he actually focused all his attention on her who was standing in a remote and quiet corner.
This fall.
And it was such a complete failure.
Duan Shiyan gently stroked the back of Jin Wu's head with his palm, and his thoughts seemed to be pulled back to that day.
It made his eyes filled with even deeper tenderness, "You didn't do anything, you just happened to pass by me."
"Remember that day after school when you came out of the library with your textbooks and I happened to be riding a skateboard and you passed by me?"
Jin Wu's breathing couldn't help but stagnate slightly.
It was near dusk that day, and a beautiful orange sunset dyed the sky.
A young man with shining silver hair passed by her on a skateboard. His eyebrows and eyes, ruffled by the breeze, were full of vigor and vitality, exuding the freedom and boldness that she had always envied.
At that time, I couldn’t tell whether I was moved or not, I just looked up at the sun.
Little did she know that a small and hidden seed had been quietly planted in her heart, waiting for her to discover.
She didn't even know that the sun she had looked up at at the same time on the same day was also looking at her.
"Actually, to be precise, that wasn't our first meeting. The first time I saw you was in the cafeteria."
Duan Shiyan's lips curved slightly, "I've been watching you since you put down your lunch box and turned around."
She ignored all the ridicule from the people around her and walked forward with her back straight.
The cold and quiet eyes and brows reveal a tenacity and fearlessness that seems to be undefeated, just like a ray of moonlight that seems light but is extremely dazzling.
So even he himself didn't notice it.
From the moment he passed by her, his eyes were on her.
“Ding ding ding ding ding——”
It so happened that the bell tower struck five times.
The pointer pointed to five o'clock.
It was exactly 20 seconds from the moment his eyes fell on her.
"Five and twenty seconds is when my curiosity about you began."
Duan Shiyan stared deeply into Jin Wu's eyes, "This is also the beginning of my falling in love with you."
"Although we only passed by each other, Imagiri, that was the first and last time in my life that I felt attached to someone and wanted to understand her."
The arrogant young man who has always been fearless and does not care about any ghosts or gods would never believe that such an old-fashioned thing as falling in love at first sight would happen to him.
I never thought that one day I would surrender to a girl and embark on the path of secret love without looking back.
But the young man didn't know.
Some love actually starts from curiosity.
From the moment he became curious about that cold and tough soul and was attracted to it, he was like a moth to a flame.
Even if you will be bruised and battered in the future, you will still step forward without hesitation, and never look back, becoming sober and falling.
"From the first time I saw you, I've been watching you."
"I see you listen carefully in class and study hard after class. I see you swing your feet when you eat something delicious in the cafeteria, and frown when you eat something unpalatable."
"See you always buy the same strawberry milk at the store, see you secretly carry sausages to feed stray puppies."
"Every time you face others' ridicule about your background, you always stand up straight. Every time you feel sad, you quickly pick yourself up and show a serious and strong expression again..."
Her world is always full of sharp edges.
But no matter how unfair the environment is, she always keeps sober and moves forward firmly, never shrinking back or staying, always bravely fighting against this world full of edges and corners.
Just as she was trying to move forward, a ray of sunshine had quietly followed behind her.
Duan Shiyan lowered his eyes and chuckled, then gently wiped away the tears that were sliding down Jin Wu's eyes.
"I really realized my love for you during a flag-raising ceremony."
His eyes were blazing, and his tone was slow. "Didn't the school suddenly require all students to cut their hair short? You were supposed to announce this rule on behalf of the school, but you stood up and were the first to speak out against this unwritten rule."
The girl standing on the flag-raising platform is serious and bright.
The young man standing in the audience stared into the girl's eyes, as if a blazing fire was ignited in them.
It's from this moment.
He finally realized that he was moved, and was about to look away in panic with his cheeks flushed, but found that he could no longer look away.
I don't know when it started, but he was already in trouble.
From standing in the noisy cafeteria, standing in the crowded playground, standing on the high flag-raising platform, standing in the quiet library.
Standing in the heart of a sixteen-year-old boy.
He has been completely screwed.
Since then, I have been thinking about you all the time, postponing my secret crush and waiting for your response.
Jin Wu stared blankly at Duan Shiyan, his eyes full of love that was about to overflow, and the bitterness was about to come back and flowed straight into his red eye sockets.
The sun that she had secretly looked up at and envied during her school days.
After they met again, she secretly hoped that Taiyang would fall in love with her too.
Little did she know that this sun had actually been silently in love with her for a long, long time without her knowing.
The tears that Jin Wu had been holding back began to fall again.
"You should have told me earlier..."
Jin Wu choked with sobs, feeling distressed for him for waiting for her for so long, "Don't just think about whether I will feel burdened, don't just think about whether I will be uneasy, why don't you think about yourself, you have obviously waited for so long..."
Don't wait for a day, a week, a month, or a year.
But I waited for a full ten years.
As the four seasons began to cycle and all things began to reincarnate, he continued to stand there waiting for her, waiting for her to turn around.
"Duan Shiyan, you are the idiot..."
Jin Wu's eyelashes were covered with tears. "You don't know how to give up, and you foolishly waited for so long without saying it. Don't you feel it's hard and wronged..."
Three thousand six hundred and eighty-six days.
It was a huge number that made her chest feel painful no matter how many times she heard it.
But he just waited foolishly day after day.
I am still waiting for someone who I don’t know whether he will come back or not…
Just a little bit of substitution can make people feel tormented.
Just now, Wu's eyes were filled with tears and she felt distressed and wronged for Duan Shiyan.
Her cheeks were gently lifted again, and all the tears were gently wiped away by him.
"Why do you feel wronged and miserable?"
"I've been waiting for my 19th."
Duan Shiyan looked at Jin Wu's tearful eyes, which were filled with heartache for him, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, as if the bitterness of the past ten years was not that painful for him at all. "Not everyone can get what they wish for and have their secret love come true."
"I thought you would fall in love with me by some miracle, and now the miracle has really happened to me."
"I am very lucky that I am one of the lucky ones favored by fate."
Duan Shiyan raised his hand and tucked Jin Wu's hair, which was a little messy because of crying, behind her ears.
The deep eyes were filled with passion, like a firework that would never go out. "Because the one I love has finally become my lover."
