Chapter 1203 True Self
Whew.
huff.
He breathed heavily, deeply, and the breaths between his inhalations and exhalations were inextricably entangled with each other, and his brain was a mess.
It was as if the whole person was immersed in the heavy rain.
Slightly, gently, their bodies were trembling, as if electrified, and then they involuntarily continued to move closer to each other, trying to find the warmth of the harbor.
Plan, with great difficulty regaining some of his sanity, asked, "So, what brought you to Paris?"
Gao Wen: ...
Plan could see the shape of Gawain's mouth, but couldn't hear any sound. He was half a beat late to realize that he was wearing headphones, and quickly took them off. His already hot cheeks became even hotter. He raised his eyes and glanced at Gawain, mumbling, "It seems that he must be a veteran."
Gao Wen pursed his lips slightly, "I seem to smell vinegar."
Pu Lan didn't give him any face at all and rolled his eyes. "Where did you find this? There aren't many headphones like this now, right?"
Gao Wen's eyes were full of smiles, "I like watching old movies."
The corners of Pulan's mouth couldn't help but want to slightly rise, but he managed to control it, "Does this mean that you have been preparing for a long time?"
Gawain nodded slightly, "I have been waiting for the right moment and the right person."
The subtext is...
In the end, Plan couldn't help it and the corners of his mouth turned upside down, but because of shyness, his cheeks became hot and he lowered his head to hide his smile.
One expression and one action were enough, far more vivid than words. Gao Wen laughed happily, "I ran here secretly."
Plan, dumbfounded, suddenly looked up, "No way? Where's your coach? Where's your agent? Don't you still have a game in Monte Carlo?" His face was full of worry.
Seeing Plan being caught off guard, Gawain laughed happily.
But Plan said seriously, "This is not funny. You are a professional player. You have your own job, your own goals, and your own plans. You should not act recklessly."
Gao Wen was a little surprised, "I thought you would like this."
Plan rolled his eyes again. "You've watched too many Hollywood movies, haven't you? You should watch a French movie, maybe once or twice. It's romantic, but obviously, it's not a good idea."
A little unexpected.
Gao Wen did not expect such an answer. As expected, men are from Mars and women are from Venus. It was still difficult for him to figure out the thoughts of the person in front of him.
As a result, his expression gradually became serious.
Plan noticed it and showed a serious expression, "Happy, of course I am happy. I won't say one thing and mean another. The moment I saw you, I felt like it was a dream. Even now, it is still the same. I like you, I like you very much. Thank you for being here."
Sincere and frank, just like his personality since they met.
"But, Gawain, do you know what I like the most and what I am most excited about?"
Gao Wen waited patiently for the answer and did not speculate.
"You are you, just as you are."
"Watching you fight on the court, watching you sweat and challenge your limits, watching you pursue your dreams, watching you cherish every moment of life. Your wisdom, your rationality, your perseverance, your fighting spirit, your humor, your sincerity... and your truthfulness."
As he spoke, Plan noticed that Gawain's gaze was getting hotter and hotter. His cheeks felt slightly hot and he swallowed the rest of his words.
But it still failed to stop Gawain.
Gao Wen's smile rose slightly, with a hint of mischief flashing in his eyes. He patted Plan's head gently and hugged her in his arms.
"Okay, I see. So you like me so much. It's my honor."
"Ha ha!"
Plan felt helpless, but...she did not deny it.
After leaving Gawain's arms, Plan did not dodge. He just raised his head and looked at Gawain boldly, bravely and frankly, conveying his feelings with his eyes.
"People always have this obsession: if the person they like is willing to change for them, it seems to prove their incomparable importance; but the problem is, I like the person the way he is, so why do I expect him to change?"
"If he changes his principles for me, then is he still himself? Is he still the person I fell in love with?"
"I like you because you are Gawain, the only Gawain, not because you are willing to give up your training and change your schedule to come to Paris to find me."
"I'd like to come to you in Monte Carlo if necessary."
Plain, but firm.
Plan finally let go of his shyness and reserve and expressed his feelings generously.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
The smile on Gawain's face fell to the bottom of his eyes, and he stopped joking and spoke seriously.
"When I was in Mallorca, Rafa's fiancée came to see me off at the airport and thanked me for going there to train."
"Even though she didn't say it, I could tell she was worried about Rafa and was showing her support in her own way."
"She still believes in Rafa, still cares about Rafa, and still supports Rafa unconditionally. She and Rafa have walked hand in hand for ten years. In her eyes, you can still see the passion and purity, the tenacity and determination of supporting each other and walking hand in hand."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Then, I thought of you."
"My mind is full of you."
"So I told Pete and Andre that I needed to come to Paris because I had to go to a girl and tell her in person -
I really, really miss her.”
"Two hours, a short stay of two hours is enough, and then I will set off for Monte Carlo immediately."
"But now, things may be changing a little bit."
There was a slight pause in his words, and Gawain could notice confusion in Plan's eyes.
This little fool had obviously forgotten the agreement they had just made on the phone.
"In addition to conveying my feelings, I also want to ask the girl if she is willing to go to Monte Carlo with me for a vacation."
"It doesn't take too long, a week is enough."
"Next week, I need to go to Barcelona again. The schedule changes too frequently, and I know that girl still has to finish her graduation thesis."
"I agree with her idea. She should stay as she is and not change for me. So, she should finish her graduation thesis according to her own schedule instead of becoming a part of my world. But, I want to ask her if she is interested in the Monte Carlo vacation?"
"Um?"
After saying this, Gao Wen raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a questioning expression.
Plan looked at Gawain, quietly and deeply, and then, he put his arms around Gawain's neck again. No words were needed, the action was enough.
Stand on tiptoe.
Slowly approach.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar, and the third time will be no problem at all.
Then--
The rain has stopped.
I don’t know when the rainstorm stopped quietly. The air was still filled with damp and cold moisture, but a rainbow appeared above the dark clouds.
A thin ray of sunlight came down, and the whole world was filled with a refreshing breath, but the dark red umbrella was still quietly held up.
Obviously, that little world is still immersed in their time.
