For some reason, she heard someone calling her from behind. She looked back with a confused look on her face, and this photo just captured that moment.
Below the photo was the only line of small words in the album, which read: Fortunately, I didn’t miss her eighteenth birthday.
Song Shengsheng's eyes were slightly sore. She looked up at Jiang Yiyu, cleared her throat, and continued to flip through the pages. There were no more photos at the back, but there were many candy wrappers. There were only a few types of these candy wrappers. She had seen Jiang Yiyu eat them before, so she thought he liked them, and every time they met, she pretended to give them to him casually.
But she didn't expect that he still kept these things.
The last page was a letter. Song Shengsheng didn't open it. She closed the album, stroked the cover gently, sorted out her feelings, and said as naturally as possible: "Half of the album is about me, Brother Yiyu, you are really thoughtful."
Jiang Yiyu hummed: "Now all your little secrets have been revealed."
"Is that all?"
Jiang Yiyu raised his eyes and met her gaze, smiling, "How much more do you want? I've lived for twenty-eight years, and I have a photo album. The first half belongs to me, and the second half is because I met you, so I belong to you too. Isn't that enough? Wow, you're so greedy."
He put down the box in his hand and leaned back on the sofa, looking lazy. "Logically speaking, you should be very touched right now, and then come over and hug me, cry, and say, 'Brother Yi Yu, I really love you.'" He patted the empty seat beside him and said, "Isn't that how it should be?"
Song Shengsheng chuckled and rubbed his nose. "No way, you're being pretentious. Besides, I've loved you just as much in the past twelve years. What's more, you haven't even liked me for twelve years! Do you know what twelve years means? If it had a beginning and an end, you could have cycled through all twelve zodiac animals."
"It's indeed been quite a long time. What is so good about me that the princess has loved me for so long?"
Song Shengsheng took the photo album, stood up and sat next to him. Jiang Yiyu took her into his arms, held her hand, and kissed her on his lips.
Song Shengsheng looked down at the photo album and thought for a moment: "I don't know either, but I just like it very much."
"A good princess who likes rebellious bad boys?"
"You're not a bad boy, you haven't done anything bad, you're just... just..."
"Just what?"
"You just didn't use the right method to resist. It was childish at best."
"childish."
"Yeah!" Song Shengsheng looked at him: "You're a very stupid person. I've never seen anyone stupider than you."
Looking at her serious expression, Jiang Yiyu was stunned. He frowned slowly and tilted his head in confusion: "How am I childish?"
"You're childish in every way!" Song Shengsheng held his hand back and earnestly listed many of the 'stupid things' he had done. Jiang Yiyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In the past years, he admitted that he had made mistakes, but he never thought those things were stupid. However, when he heard these things from Song Shengsheng's mouth, he suddenly felt as if he was full of stupidity.
Song Shengsheng patted his hand and said earnestly: "It's okay, it's all in the past. We just need to not do stupid things in the future."
"Do you really think I'm stupid?"
"Not really, just occasionally."
"Occasionally?"
"Yeah, sometimes, especially that time when you were hiding in the bathroom smoking with my brother. That was really stupid. You may not know this until now, but my dad actually smelled cigarettes on you the moment you came out. He didn't expose it at the time because my mom and I were there, and he was afraid of hurting you two little boys' feelings. Later, he had planned to find an opportunity to talk to you alone, but he got busy with work and forgot."
Jiang Yiyu was completely silent...
He shouldn't have opened the box, let alone shown Song Shengsheng this photo album full of secrets.
After a while, seeing that he didn't speak again, Song Shengsheng couldn't help but waved her hand in front of his eyes: "Brother Yi Yu, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yiyu glanced at her and said in a muffled voice, "Self-reflection."
Song Shengsheng couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What are you reflecting on? What did you do wrong again?"
"On reflection, I'm stupid, Song Ming is stupid too. In your eyes, we're both stupid."
Song Shengsheng smiled and hugged him, patting his head: "Don't let your imagination run wild. No matter how stupid you are, I have liked you for so many years, haven't I?"
“Do you help the poor?”
"ah?"
"Song Ming told me that you like me purely because you sympathize with wild dogs. Wow, I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it a little bit."
"Oh, my brother Yi Yu!" Song Shengsheng hugged him tighter and swung him around. "No, really. If you insist on asking why, then I might just be bewitched by your beauty."
As soon as she said this, Jiang Yiyu's body became even stiffer. Song Shengsheng hurriedly patted his back again, holding his lifeless face and kissing him again and again, but Jiang Yiyu's expression became more and more ugly. Finally, the corners of his mouth turned down and his eyes were red.
Song Shengsheng was also stunned. She sighed and hugged him again: "Why are you crying again? I'm just kidding. I like everything about you, really, not just your face."
Jiang Yiyu buried his face in the crook of her neck, tightened his arms around her waist, and choked out his worries: "But I will get old one day. When I lose this face, will you like someone else?"
"Don't talk nonsense. We are only four years apart in age. You are old, and so am I, aren't I?"
Jiang Yiyu's tears fell on her shoulder, and he whispered aggrievedly: "Look, you don't like young and handsome pretty boys just because you are old, not because you only love me."
