Chapter 77 "For the rest of my life, I will only love you."
This hug caused a dull pain in my shoulders and chest, stifled my breathing, and even made my bones feel like they were being crushed.
It was clearly a way of holding that was not very comfortable under normal cognition, but Jiang Yao felt a strange tingling sensation in his heart, so he did not struggle from beginning to end, and even freed up a hand to pat Duan Zhuxian's back soothingly.
When the force around his body finally loosened a little, Jiang Yao tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and gently pressed his lips against Duan Zhuxian's jawline, relying on his experience and feeling to find those thin lips.
The moment he kissed the corner of her lips, the warm touch quickly disappeared, and all the restraints on her body were released.
He opened his eyes and stared blankly at Duan Zhuxian's back as he turned around and got out of the car. He couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.
Why is he always not as good at coaxing people as Duan Zhuxian?
I got out of the car behind Duan Zhuxian, walked into the house, went upstairs, and came to Duan Zhuxian's study.
In order to maintain some private space for each other, Jiang Yao rarely comes here.
Following in with big strides now seemed a bit like an invasion, but he couldn't care less.
Leaning against the door, Jiang Yao watched Duan Zhuxian take off the formal jacket he wore to the banquet, loosen his tie, turn around and open the computer on his desk, with no intention of paying any attention to him at all.
Jiang Yao slowly walked to the desk and tentatively asked in a somewhat dejected tone, "Duan Zhuxian, why are you still angry?"
Duan Zhuxian raised his eyes and looked at him: "It's gone."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yao's expression of seeking peace instantly turned into dissatisfaction: "Since it's gone, why did you refuse to kiss me in the car?"
"It just disappeared."
Duan Zhuxian said.
He also wanted to stay angry for a while longer and let Jiang Yao taste the consequences of risking his life to be a hero.
But when Jiang Yao followed him cautiously, like a child who had done something wrong, he couldn't bear to criticize him any more.
He forced the person to come here, so the responsibility lies with him. Jiang Yao has no obligation to change his personality for him.
What he needs to do is to do his best to protect the one he loves, instead of setting up one single-plank bridge after another for Jiang Yao to cross with extreme caution.
Duan Zhuxian walked around the desk and headed towards Jiang Yao.
Before Jiang Yao could react, Duan Zhuxian grabbed her waist and sealed her lips.
He was pushed back several steps by this sudden deep kiss, his scalp was numb and his legs were weak. Fortunately, Duan Zhuxian kept holding him and prevented him from falling.
The study was not too big, and there was soon no way out. When Jiang Yao was pressed on the shelf, he accidentally knocked something down, and something spilled all over the floor.
He subconsciously looked to the side, but Duan Zhuxian turned his face back to remind him to concentrate on the kiss.
After the kiss ended, Jiang Yao gasped and realized that what he knocked over was a box.
He squatted down, picked up a medal, a key, and an astronaut doll, looked around at the other objects on the ground, and suddenly realized that the entire box seemed to be filled with things related to him.
For example, this silver medal in the robot competition in his hand, and the gold medal of that competition belonged to him.
When receiving the award, he personally hung the silver medal around Duan Zhuxian's neck. In addition to his sincere admiration, he also felt a bit of the uncontrollable pride that he felt when he defeated a strong enemy in his youth.
But Duan Zhuxian looked at him calmly, with the corners of his lips curved up for a thousand years, without any displeasure at losing the game or being humiliated by his opponent.
The key belongs to a small abandoned warehouse in the high school.
That year, he and Duan Zhuxian accidentally rescued a pregnant cat, and carefully placed it in an abandoned warehouse at school. They took turns feeding it every day. Later, after the cat gave birth safely, he and Duan Zhuxian gave the kittens away for adoption.
Later, the warehouse was reused by the school, and the gate was replaced, so the key naturally became useless.
And this astronaut figure.
One day in his second year of high school, he and Duan Zhuxian met by chance at the Daydream Dessert Shop next to the school. It happened to be a space-themed store celebration, and he was extremely lucky to win two limited edition blind boxes, and he and Duan Zhuxian each shared one.
…
Jiang Yao was a little dazed as his mind, which had just been made dizzy by the kiss, was invaded by memories like bullets one after another.
During that long and hurried teenage years that were like midsummer, he and Duan Zhuxian not only fought against each other, but also had so many ordinary yet heartwarming details of their interactions.
He actually hadn't forgotten it, but he had intentionally buried it too deep.
He mechanically put the things back into the box one by one, and suddenly saw an envelope -
It was black with a hint of shimmer, and it had "Chen Tang Shou" written on it.
This was the love letter he had racked his brains to write, but was confiscated by Duan Zhuxian.
Jiang Yao suddenly raised his head and looked at Duan Zhuxian who was looking down at him. His Adam's apple moved rapidly: "I thought you threw it away at that time..."
Duan Zhuxian said: "I haven't lost anything related to you."
If Jiang Yao heard such words at other times, he would definitely not be able to suppress the sweetness in his heart, but at this moment, that sweetness was severely washed away by his guilty conscience.
Jiang Yao blushed a little, but to hide it, he shook the envelope in his hand and acted nonchalant: "It's amazing that you can read this thing and still keep it for the New Year in peace."
Duan Zhuxian: "I've never opened it."
Jiang Yao was suddenly stunned.
In his original imagination, Duan Zhuxian would definitely laugh at his affectation mercilessly, or just take a look at it and throw it away with an expressionless face.
During the period just after the breakup, he just couldn't get over it. He even often couldn't help but imagine Duan Zhuxian's contemptuous expression after reading the content of the love letter in the dead of night, so that he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Later, he learned that Duan Zhuxian had suppressed his feelings for him for many years. When he recalled this love letter, he couldn't help but feel sad. He didn't dare to imagine how sad Duan Zhuxian was at that time.
The heavy snow that night may have swallowed up more than just the tears he shed as he looked at Duan Zhuxian's back.
But no matter what speculation he made, it was based on the content Duan Zhuxian had already seen.
He asked, "Why don't you watch it? Aren't you curious?"
"This is something you wrote to someone else. As a disciplinary committee member, I confiscated it, which already contained too much selfish motives."
Duan Zhuxiandao.
"It's not that I'm not curious, but I'm not qualified to see it."
Jiang Yao looked into Duan Zhuxian's silent eyes and muttered after a while, "Well, it's really nothing good. In fact, I don't remember the specific content. I just remember that it was a very bad love poem."
As he spoke, he unconsciously put the envelope into the box and was caught by Duan Zhuxian's wrist.
"No need to put it back." Duan Zhuxian chuckled, "It was originally yours. Since you found it, I'll give it back to you."
He understood that Duan Zhuxian was expressing his apology for confiscating his personal belongings. He was not being magnanimous, nor was he being insincere. But it was this rationality and restraint that touched his heart even more.
Duan Zhuxian always knew how to make him feel distressed.
"You're right. What's the point of keeping expired items?"
In front of Duan Zhuxian, Jiang Yao pinched the edge of the envelope with both hands, and with a loud bang, tore it in half from the middle. He tore the letter paper inside into pieces in a few seconds and threw them into the trash can without mercy.
Duan Zhuxian looked at the trash can, seeming a little surprised.
Jiang Yao raised his usual arrogant smile, but his tone was particularly serious: "The one I like now is you."
He spoke word by word.
"For the rest of my life, I will only love you."
It was like reciting a long-delayed wedding vow.
