Chapter 188 - Happy Birthday to You
Chapter 188 - Happy Birthday to You
"ah?"
Ning Fei was really shocked. It seemed like it took his brain two seconds to process Duan Yunhong's words: "Ah?!?!?!"
——Duan Yunhong...want to join the Management Bureau? !
"Actually, I want to say something else, or be more straightforward." Duan Yunhong stared at him, holding him, not letting him escape at all, "But you warned me not to make the situation too awkward before, I think that was a hint for me not to say it yet, you are not ready yet. Okay, I'll try another way, you don't have to listen to what you don't want to hear, and you don't have to answer me immediately."
As he spoke, Duan Yunhong's gaze fell on the brooch again.
"If you are willing to let me join the Administration, you will hand over this brooch with my location to your Spacetime Administration. Once the Administration gets it, they will definitely locate me, track me, and send someone to deal with me. But you don't have to worry about these, I will handle it myself later. I will find a way to become a debt collector, so you don't have to be stuck in the middle."
"But... why?" Ning Fei was confused. Many thoughts actually popped up in his mind, but he refused to think and could only keep asking, "Why do you want to go... why do you let me decide..."
"You know why, don't you? You actually do."
Duan Yunhong held the person in his arms again. In fact, he was a little afraid to look at Ning Fei's reaction at this moment. He was a little afraid that Ning Fei would jump up and throw away the brooch, and then say that there was no way he would be brought into the Administration. This means that the two of them haven't explained anything to each other yet, and they are heading towards a split before everything even begins.
"I thought you had seen through my thoughts." Duan Yunhong covered Ning Fei like this, as if he only wanted to talk and the other party only wanted to listen, "If we separate again this time, I can't predict when we will meet next time. Your native world, my native world, we have all been through it. This time you went to another world to complete a mission before coming here. Where can I try my luck next time? Or should I just wait for you to remember me, or wait until you forget me completely?"
"...Just now you told me to make the decision, but now you're rushing me to make progress. That's inconsistent." Ning Fei couldn't see his face, so she could only speak in a low voice. She grabbed his shirt on the back and tugged, "Loosen up a bit, I can't breathe!"
"Okay, then I won't rush you. If you don't want to, then just keep it like this. You can still use it whenever you want to come to me or call me." Duan Yunhong had to let Ning Fei go a little to give him enough time to raise his head. When Fu Yi saw Ning Fei's realization, Duan Yunhong couldn't help but round things up a little: "As long as you want, you can change your mind at any time. But there is no rush. You can think carefully and think for a long time. You don't have to draw conclusions so quickly."
"It's rare to see you with such an unsure expression." Ning Fei actually didn't know how to respond to this situation, but when he saw Duan Yunhong so uncalm, Ning Fei was the first one to calm down. We can't both of us be so impatient and talk nonsense, right? Then this topic will never end!
"Even if it's me, I can't be sure of success in everything, right? Otherwise, why would I fall for your tricks every time? It's different every time." Duan Yunhong said, raising his hand and touching Ning Fei's face with the back of his fingers, "Don't just blame me, your face is so red, do you know that?"
Ning Fei opened his hand: "It's because you covered it just now."
"It would be better..." Duan Yunhong chuckled and took the initiative to put Ning Fei's hand on his shirt button. "Okay, I've said what I wanted to say. Now let's move on to the next topic. I'll take the gift you ordered first.
"By the way, haven't I officially said it yet? Happy birthday to you."
…
At dawn.
Duan Yunhong turned over in a half-asleep state, and the smooth movement and the coolness that came from nowhere woke him up completely.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that there was already daylight coming from the direction of the window. It was not very bright, but it was bright enough for Duan Yunhong to see clearly that there was a person lying in the window behind the gauze curtain.
The cold breeze of the early morning passed through the gaps between the gauze curtains and blew to the edge of the bed. This was the reason why Duan Yunhong felt an inexplicable chill.
"…What are you doing there?"
Facing the light with eyes that were not fully awake, he subconsciously frowned, and his voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible: "Why aren't you sleeping?"
"I'm awake. I can't sleep. I'm going to get up and smoke a cigarette. Don't bother me." Ning Fei turned around, lifted the gauze curtain and took a look. "Did the wind blow on you? Then I'll draw the other curtain and you can sleep."
After saying that, he really pulled the thick curtains, and the room suddenly became dark.
But after a while, there was another "swish" sound, and the curtains were opened again.
"Can't you go somewhere warmer to smoke?" Duan Yunhong said, leaning over to close the open window much smaller, "Why do you have to let in the cold wind? Aren't you the one who hates the cold?"
"Boss Duan, look carefully, I'm wearing a mink coat." Ning Fei patted his coat, "I'm almost like a polar bear smoking, and you're asking me if I'm cold? Mind your own business."
"I'm fine too." Duan Yunhong responded, and then he hugged Ning Fei from behind, with his head resting on Ning Fei's shoulder, as if he was holding a huge plush toy.
"Tsk... Can you go back to bed if you want to sleep? It's too heavy." Ning Fei wanted to push him, but she pressed his forehead with her backhand and failed. "I'll go back to sleep after I finish smoking. Don't act like I'm going to run away. Am I that cowardly?"
“It’s hard to say.”
"Hello!"
"You only smoke when you're stressed, and you only like to smoke in the middle of the night when you have something on your mind." Duan Yunhong hugged him tightly, "That's good, it means you took my words to heart."
"You're quite good at flattering yourself." Ning Fei couldn't tear off this "dog-skin plaster", so he was too lazy to move and continued to smoke the rest of his cigarette by the window. "Do I have to lose sleep over you? I just can't sleep, so I'm just emptying my mind."
Duan Yunhong closed his eyes and suddenly asked, "Will you discuss this with Yu Zhou?"
"...Huh?" Ning Fei was puzzled. "Why should I discuss this with him when it's completely unrelated to me? I'm not a baby who needs someone to take care of me. You're the one who likes to mention him."
"He seems to like to meddle in your affairs. The more important it is, the more he wants to check it." Duan Yunhong seemed to be taking a nap, but his voice was very clear. "Even if he doesn't meddle, you should not be influenced by his thoughts. He is him, and you are you. Don't let his broken view of love influence your thoughts."
Ning Fei found it funny and jokingly asked, "Do you know his views on love now?"
"I dare not tell you everything, but you can get a glimpse of it by looking at how he treats Yue Fengping... no, how he controls the so-called 'lovers' in this world." Duan Yunhong said, "But he can control them however he wants, and no one else can interfere. Just don't take his tone of 'people with long lifespans are bastards and not worth investing in feelings for' too seriously."
"What he said wasn't a lie. Why should we not take it seriously if you say it can't be taken seriously?"
"It may be true for him, but not for you." Duan Yunhong said, "He is him, and you are you. Can you be together for a short period of time and cannot reveal your true identity be considered a good fate for you? No, right? He treats this as a stand-alone game. When he opens it, he knows that it will take about a few hours to play to the end, so he dares to indulge himself in the virtual world. This is not rationality and restraint, this is fucking cowardice."
"Don't be so idle as to involve us." Ning Fei tilted his head to glance at him and slowly exhaled smoke. "Besides, you should know very well that I don't like to hear people nagging him. Forget it this time, I won't be too polite next time."
Duan Yunhong knew that the topic should be dropped, but he couldn't help asking, "How can you be so rude?"
"Like this." Ning Fei held the cigarette butt, as if he was going to poke it into Duan Yunhong's face. Duan Yunhong did not dodge or evade, and Ning Fei just stopped when there were only three or four centimeters left.
He turned the cigarette butt around and put it out in the ashtray, then added calmly, "It'll burn your handsome face."
"Anyway, you'll be the one to see the flowers, not me." Duan Yunhong was also very calm, "If you're afraid of something happening in the future, just come and hunt me down. Anyway, I'm not afraid of your revenge. I chose the path myself, and I'm responsible for it myself."
"Nervous." Ning Fei sneered, "If you really become a member of the Administration, I will still hunt you down. I don't want to live like this?"
"Then report me." Duan Yunhong said, "Aren't you the best at dealing with colleagues who you don't get along with? And as long as you run into the mission world and stagger your time with mine, what can I do to you?"
"Okay, stop trying to persuade me in circles. Go back to sleep, I'll also..." Ning Fei wanted to push him away again, but when she raised her hand, she suddenly remembered that she had just held a cigarette with this hand, and Duan Yunhong must hate the smell, so she put her hand down again.
Duan Yunhong took the initiative to grab the hand, put it on his face, and said, "The sun is out, let's watch the sunrise before going to bed."
Yes, the golden light of the sun has already emerged from the clouds in the sky. It is not very hot, but very dazzling. At this moment, the heart that was originally suffocated by the darkness and morning fog seemed to become bright.
Ning Fei scratched his face with her backhand: "Watching the sunrise after the sunset is quite romantic, Mr. Duan."
"Isn't this the opportunity you gave me?" Duan Yunhong said, "I just don't know what will happen in the future... Forget it, I won't say it anymore, so you don't think I'm nagging like an old man."
"That's good to know." Ning Fei put down her hand and leaned into Duan Yunhong's arms. "The sun is silent, but it rises every day to illuminate the world. Learn from it, Boss Duan."
Duan Yunhong tilted his head to kiss him: "When the sun rises, can you do something that the sun sets? If you are here, can you keep silent? Otherwise, it will be bad to wake up the other tenants around."
"Now? You really have energy..." Ning Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, without commenting, and only said, "I just finished smoking..."
"It doesn't matter. I'm not a mysophobe." Duan Yunhong chuckled, and added another sentence when he remembered that this man had repeatedly said that he was a mysophobe.
"At least not to you."
