Back to the beginning

The guests had mostly left, but Shan Yun still kept chatting with Jixiang at the table.

His face was flushed, his eyes were blurry, and his words were intermittent, repetitive, and incoherent.

The other three people sat on the other side with their heads folded as they watched the two of them talk nonsense and brag to each other about their own love experiences.

Wang Bingyan sighed, looked at the steady Zou Weichen and the yawning bride, and said, "They have been chatting all night, and you two are not going to stop them?"

Nong Chan waved her hands and said, "I don't care. I am quite happy listening to them chatting."

"It's rare to come back and see old friends, so let him be."

Wang Bingyan shook her head helplessly, and continued to listen to the two drunken men bragging with her face covered.

It was already midnight when Zou Weichen helped Shan Yun home. He was already drunk and confused. When he put him on the bed, he just turned over to make room for the person next to him and fell into a deep sleep.

Zou Weichen looked at the familiar room.

They haven't been here for several years, and the layout is still the same as before. Memories seem to flood back all at once.

He still remembered the photo album he accidentally knocked over when he was helping Shan Yun tidy up the room that day. When the album was opened, he continued to flip through it curiously, looking at the little boy in the album. He had big eyes and a handsome face, but there was a proud and coquettish look in his eyes, which was very cute.

In less than ten minutes, he met the little boy in the photo album. It turned out that he was not a bad boy, but he had a bad temper. He was arrogant and intolerant. His first impression of him was not very good.

Then I met him and Jiang Zhe in the alley, and I knew that Shan Yun would not be alone in the new school until graduation.

On the first day of school, he actually saw Shan Yun at the railing on the fifth floor at the school gate and eavesdropped on his phone call. At the door of the Political and Educational Office, he took a detailed look at Shan Yun's appearance for the first time, and he could tell at a glance that he was a young man from a big city who had been pampered since childhood.

There was no further communication after that. It was only because Grandma Xu asked him to look after Shan Yun that he would observe the sleeping young master on the terrace during lunch break.

He originally didn't want to have any communication with Shan Yun, and was also troubled by Grandma Xu's request to help take care of Shan Yun. Seeing that Shan Yun and Jiang Zhe and Jixiang got along well, he felt relieved and felt that he didn't need to get to know him anymore.

Unexpectedly, Shan Yun took the initiative to find him.

Zou Weichen lay on his side, watching Shan Yun sleeping soundly.

When did he fall in love with this cheerful young master?

Maybe it was when I knew he helped a female classmate get in trouble with some hooligans, or when he drunkenly asked for Jiang Zhe's WeChat on Jiang Zhe's birthday, and that cute look on his face, or maybe it was when I caught him calling home again and again.

Maybe, he started to notice Shan Yun since he ran into him going to his house to get a haircut. As for why he fell in love with her, he really couldn't explain it. He just fell in love with her so much and they got together so impulsively.

Fortunately, he met Shan Yun, who dared to think and act.

Fortunately, he did not hide away because of his cowardice.

midnight.

When Zou Weichen turned over, he noticed that there was no one around him. He stood up and saw Shan Yun sitting on the windowsill, staring at the sky in a daze.

"Are you sober?" Zou Weichen stood up and took a coat to put on Shan Yun.

Shan Yun looked back, smiled and continued to look at the sky.

"It seems like we haven't been back for years."

"We are all busy. We are still separated, not to mention how many homes we have." Zou Weichen also climbed onto the windowsill and sat down on the other side. "Grandma is old now. She also wants to come back here. When the time comes, we will come back to accompany her."

"Didn't you promise my mother that you would be the company's legal advisor? Besides, you were planning to open a law firm near the company."

"It doesn't matter where the legal advisor is. I'll go back if I need to. I've changed my mind about the law firm. I'll wait a few years. Anyway, I've found a new job now, so it doesn't matter where it is."

"New job?" Shan Yun was confused. He hadn't seen Zou Weichen find any job after he came back. How did he find a new job?

Zou Weichen nodded.

"I agreed to let Jian Bingning be Jian Chenxi's legal advisor. Jian Chenxi said he recommended me and even called me to take credit for it."

Shan Yun's eyes widened. There was even work that came to him on its own. "Didn't you two just meet once? And it was a misunderstanding."

“He said he had a good first impression of me.”

"We've only met once." Shan Yun was a little bit surprised, and said, "He's a playboy, don't pay attention to him if he comes to you."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, then Shan Yun's eyes dimmed and he muttered, "You come to work without an invitation, and I'm still a lazy guy."

"Are you still worried? Aren't you supported by someone?"

"You still remember what I said." Shan Yun beckoned Zou Weichen to come over. When Zou Weichen sat in his arms, he smiled and continued, "So how many jobs do you have?"

"This really needs a good explanation. It's true that it's several jobs, because they are registered with several companies, but it can also be said that it's just one job, because they only use my name, and they don't actually use me many times under their name."

"It's so easy, you don't have to do anything, and you get a white-collar salary."

Zou Weichen hummed, then saw Shan Yun reaching out his hand towards him, with a puzzled look on his face.

"What?"

"Salary card." Shan Yun moved his fingers. "It is said that the husband's salary card should be handed over to his wife."

"I've already transferred your card. I opened a card for you and put all the unused money into it. The password is your birthday." Zou Weichen took the opportunity to pull Shan Yun's hand and touched his fingers. "Do you want to change it?"

"No, I want this." Shan Yun retracted his hand, touched the ring on his ring finger, tapped Zou Weichen's head and said, "You can work with Jian Chenxi, but you can only receive his salary, you can't contact him too much, and you have to ignore his various temptations."

Zou Weichen smiled helplessly. He could use the word "seduce" in this way.

"He has a team, and I am just a figurehead. I hardly see him, and I may not even see him when my contract expires."

"Then we won't go back this time and let grandma come back by herself."

"Everyone knows what you are up to." Zou Weichen also turned around and tapped his head, "Mom has been deliberately bringing up our affairs recently. Are you trying to avoid her?"

Shan Yun pouted, "Why can't I see it? The last time you accompanied her shopping, I heard that she kept dragging you to look at wedding rings. I can understand her wedding, but let's forget about it. We are already an old couple, and we still care about those etiquettes. It's exhausting."

"She just wants to have fun."

"Grandma's birthday, Beibei's birthday, if that's not enough, Sister Yue, your birthday, and all the other holidays together are enough to make up a whole year."

"Then you go and tell them?"

"You say!"

Both of them laughed in the end.

"Forget it. We'll figure out a solution when she gets too impatient. At worst, we can just elope."

"Have you ever thought about eloping? What's going on in your mind all day long?"

"I miss you? I want to be with you..." Shan Yun leaned close to Zou Weichen's ear and whispered, and took a light bite.

Zou Weichen touched his ear and jumped off the windowsill, "Are you sober?"

Shan Yun turned around and sat on the windowsill, with his legs hanging down, his hands on the windowsill, leaning forward slightly, blinking, and laughing softly.

“You still learned this?”

"I have learned a lot and I can put it into practice." Shan Yun said as he stretched out his legs to grab the person, pulled him in front of him, and put his hands on Zou Weichen's shoulders.

Zou Weichen followed Shan Yun's slightly shy gaze, passed over his ears and the half-exposed white neck in his loose and unbuttoned pajamas, blinked lightly, and retracted his gaze.

People dare to speak boldly.

But my ears turned red...

Zou Weichen did not answer, but just slightly bent his lips, reached out to the few buttons that were left unfastened, and leaned closer to him.

In his sight, Zou Weichen's well-defined face kept getting bigger, his half-closed eyes lengthened his eyeliner, and his slightly thin and moist lips were almost touching his.

Realizing what Zou Weichen was going to do, he felt a warm sensation in his heart and a little panicked at the same time. He quickly raised his hands to press against his chest and leaned his head back.

"Stop it, he's still on the windowsill..."

But Zou Weichen seemed not to hear what he said. The lips next to his ear moved slightly, then he held his lips and put one hand on his abdomen.

Shan Yun was shy and embarrassed. She turned her head away from his lips and looked to the side. The hand that was originally against his chest quickly moved down to hold down his hand.

Zou Weichen’s words just now, “I haven’t tried the windowsill, and no one lives nearby anyway,” kept echoing in my ears.

My heart is itching and restless...

*

Didn't sleep all night.

It was already slightly chilly after the cool weather. Shan Yun sat on the windowsill, swinging his legs back and forth. He hummed the song "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze" that Zou Weichen sang on the first night he came here.

Hearing the door open, he looked back.

Zou Weichen brought the cooked food over, and Shan Yun took a look and said, "Didn't you say to cook noodles?"

"It's been a few years. We don't have any food left and some are expired. Auntie Ji and the others have already gotten up and are packing up. She said she's prepared some hangover soup and asked me to bring it to you."

"I'm already drunk."

Zou Weichen leaned in to take a sniff and said disapprovingly, "It still smells like alcohol."

"Who can I blame? I said I wanted to take a shower last night, but you insisted on torturing me." Shan Yun finished the soup in a few gulps. Seeing that Zou Weichen had also finished drinking, he hooked his finger and asked him to sit on it as well.

"I still have to help Auntie Ji clean up later, so hurry up and come down too."

"There are so many people here, there's no shortage of us two. Besides, there's no rush. Let's watch the sunrise first." Shan Yun pointed into the distance.

The sky was already turning pale, and the morning glow was gradually spreading.

Zou Weichen sat next to Shan Yun.

"Let me ask you a question."

Shan Yun glanced at Zou Weichen. The other party did not answer, but he knew what he meant.

"When did you fall in love with me?" He asked, and immediately stopped Zou Weichen from answering, "Don't throw the question back to me first."

"You don't need to ask me to know. It's the first day of school." Zou Weichen did not ask back, but directly answered the question, "As for when I will..."

He stopped and looked at the horizon. The sun was already nodding.

"I thought about it when I came back here yesterday, but I couldn't come up with anything. Anyway, by the time I realized it, you had already filled my life."

Shan Yun smiled and leaned on his shoulder, pointing into the distance and said:

"Look, the sun is out!"

For existing love, there is no need to question the past. The focus is on the present and look to the future.
