Bo Yueming and Pei Yi's wedding was not deliberately sentimental, but the speeches and the exchange of wedding rings still moved many people.

Li Yu'an's eyes were filled with tears, and he was happy for his friend's happiness.

Bo's wedding banquet was very elaborately prepared, with ingredients airlifted from all over the place, and a star chef was specially hired to cook, but before the banquet began, Yan Cen deliberately took Li Yu'an out of the manor.

"Yan Cen, where are we going?"

Li Yu'an looked at his hand being held tightly by Yan Cen, and did not resist. "Pei Yi will come to toast us later. If he can't find us, he will definitely complain."

"Don't worry, I've already told them both--"

Yan Cen opened the car door and sent Li Yu'an to the co-pilot's seat. "The toast at their wedding banquet will be made up by us alone next time the four of us meet. It's okay."

As he said that, Yan Cen took out two big red envelopes from the inside of his suit and handed them over. "For you."

Li Yu'an's attention was diverted, "Hmm?"

"Mom and Dad, and Grandpa and Grandma, they gave it to you."

Yan Cen explained the origin of the red envelopes, and explained for the elders, "Although the first occasion was a bit complicated, my parents said that we should still be polite."

Li Yu'an felt the heavy weight of the two red envelopes, and was a little surprised, "I...you..."

"Originally they wanted to give it to you in person, but I guessed you would be too embarrassed to ask for it, so I passed it on as a middleman."

Yan Cen finished speaking, and started the car with a smile.

Li Yu'an was embarrassed, "This is too much."

With this thickness, at least a single red envelope has five digits.

"A lot? My dad wanted my mom to directly mark out a card for you." Yan Cen told the truth in a half-joking tone, "Later, it was because I told them that you liked red envelopes that they chose cash."

This amount of cash is certainly not much for the Yan family, but what is needed is the elders' acceptance of their relationship.

As for how much to spend, that is a matter for the future.

The Yan family is not short of money, and the two of them are not short of the ability to make money.

Li Yu'an quietly glanced at the inside of the red envelope, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was filled with even greater joy -

he didn't expect that the "difficulty" that he had been worried about day and night was so easily overcome.

Perhaps he should have expected that Yan Cen's family should be so excellent, kind and sincere.

"Are you happy?"

"Yeah."

Li Yu'an pressed the seal of the red envelope, a little pride overflowing, "This money should be saved."

Yan Cen pushed his glasses lightly, "Put it under the pillow when we get home?"

Li Yu'an snorted, and when he looked up, he found that Yan Cen had driven away for a long distance, "Where are we going instead of attending the wedding banquet?"

Yan Cen said concisely, "Back to school."

"School?" Yan Cen was stunned, and reacted quickly, "Imperial University?"

"Yeah."

Yan Cen nodded, and his glasses blocked the glimmer in his eyes, "I just heard Yue Ming and the others talking about the scene of our first acquaintance, and suddenly I wanted to take you back to Imperial University to have a look."

That was their common alma mater. There was a time when Yan Cen didn't know about it, but Li Yu'an had a crush on him alone.

While waiting for the red light, Yan Cen took Li Yu'an's hand and said, "Ever since I knew about those things, I've always wanted to take you back to see, but unfortunately I haven't found the right time."

Although they were all in the Imperial Capital, Yan Cen felt that "going back to school" was not something he could treat casually. Until today, he had an irresistible thought -

so he didn't even have the wedding banquet, and Yan Cen took Li Yu'an out.

The countdown to the red light was about to end.

Yan Cen kissed the back of Li Yu'an's hand lightly and made an invitation, "Little junior, let's go back and see?"

Li Yu'an smiled at the title, "Okay."

...

Forty minutes later, Yan Cen deliberately turned the car into the Academy Road and slowed down.

Yan Cen asked, "Does it look familiar?"

Li Yu'an heard the smile in his words and deliberately didn't answer.

How could it not look familiar? How could I not remember it?

That year, he accidentally rear-ended Yan Cen's car on this road, and became the reckless and reserved junior in the other's impression.

For Yan Cen, this is the place where the two "first met", and for Li Yu'an, it is also the place where the two "first had a formal relationship".

Li Yu'an rolled down the car window and looked at the scenery on both sides that still did not change, and sighed, "The two sides of this road are quite beautiful. I didn't notice it when I went back and forth so many times before."

There are tall trees every few meters. Even though the leaves have fallen off at this moment, the sunlight still casts the shadows of the branches on the red walls and yellow tiles on both sides, like a natural gallery.

Yan Cen responded, "This road is different in all seasons. I'll take you to see it next season?"

This seemingly casual conversation hides their common future.

Li Yu'an's eyes were bright, "Okay."

It was the holiday season.

The flow of people in the School of Economics and Management was much less than usual, and only the students who stayed on campus were walking around.

According to regulations, the college does not allow outsiders to enter and exit at will, but Yan Cen did not know how he entered the guardhouse and talked to the security uncle, and the other party immediately let him in.

Li Yu'an asked curiously, "What did you say?"

Yan Cen did not hide it from him, "I called Professor Liu Yi and asked him to help say that the two of us were students he invited to help organize academic papers. We were allowed in after registering."

Yan Cen is Professor Liu Yi's favorite student and also Li Yu'an's course teacher during his freshman year.

Li Yu'an chuckled, "You are amazing. You are not afraid of disturbing the old man."

"How could that be? He even told us to go talk to him some other day when we have time." Yan Cen parked the car at the outermost parking lot and gestured, "Let's go, get off and walk around."

Li Yu'an nodded.

The two of them got off the car one after the other, and Yan Cen walked around Li Yu'an and naturally held his hand.

The students passing by saw this scene and smiled knowingly.

Li Yu'an wanted to pull his hand away, but failed to break away, "Yan Cen..."

"What are you afraid of? Universities don't prohibit campus romances." Yan Cen moved closer, his breath hanging on the tip of Li Yu'an's nose, "Junior, where do you want to go?"

They have been dating for a long time, but Yan Cen always makes Li Yu'an blush and his heart beat fast.

Li Yu'an no longer wanted to break free from the hand-holding, but couldn't think of a specific destination for a while, "Let's just walk around first, I haven't been back for a long time."

"Okay."

The two held hands and wandered aimlessly from the west to the east of the college, and then wandered from the gymnasium and the playground to the dormitory building.

"That one! Building No. 5, fourth floor--"

Li Yuanan pointed to one of the small balconies, "I lived in that dormitory when I was a freshman, and later I changed my college and dormitory because I changed my major."

Yan Cen looked at the clothes on the balcony, "I don't know who lives there now."

Li Yuanan asked, "What about you, which dormitory did you live in before?"

Yan Cen thought for a moment and pointed to a place, "There, but I have a house outside the school and I have a bed in the dormitory, but I don't go back often."

"..."

Li Yuanan was silent, and after a long while he hummed and complained, "Sure enough, he is a rich young master."

Yan Cen laughed and pulled him towards the teaching building.

When passing by a lecture hall, the two of them stopped, "Here."

Yan Cen pushed open the door of the lecture hall, "I remember that Professor Liu Yi likes to hold his classes in this lecture hall? Was it the same when you were a freshman?"

"Yeah."

A glimmer flashed in Yan Cen's eyes.

He always remembered that Professor Liu's course was one of the few "intersections" between the two of them in their studies.

Yan Cen asked him, "Do you have a fixed seat when you take his class? Or do you sit anywhere?"

It was obviously a very simple question, but Li Yu'an suddenly hesitated and couldn't answer it.

Yan Cen noticed the subtlety and asked, "What's wrong? Is it so difficult to answer?"

Li Yuan said, "Just sit anywhere."

Yan Cen took advantage of the fact that no one was around to pull him into his arms, "Do you know that you can't lie in front of me? Tell the truth."

"..."

Li Yuan admitted defeat and spoke with a little shame, "I'll sit with you."

This time, it was Yan Cen's turn to be unable to react, "What?"

Li Yuan thought of his secret love for you back then, and his ears blushed, "I said, wherever you sit, I'll sit there."

Yan Cen still didn't react, "But we are not in the same class."

"Next semester, after Professor Liu finishes your junior class, he will take over our freshman class."

Li Yuan said it softly and quickly. At the same time, he was honest, but he was eager to quickly put the matter behind him -

"At that time, I had only one class with Professor Liu in the morning, so I would wait outside the classroom a little early, just at the small window at the back door."

Looking at the tiered classroom from the small window at the back door, you can basically get a full view of it, and naturally you can catch a glimpse of where Yan Cen is sitting.

After the class, as soon as the other person left, Li Yu'an would rush to take that seat. At that

time, Li Yu'an's roommates just thought that he liked Professor Liu Yi's class and helped them save seats.

Yan Cen only then knew that there was such a thing. While he was moved, he also felt that Li Yu'an's behavior at that time was silly, cute and innocent. Thinking about it, he laughed out loud.

Li Yu'an was originally trapped in the self-emotion of "shy and embarrassed". Hearing Yan Cen's smile, he couldn't hold it back.

The pride in his bones took over, and he wanted to run away, "Let's go? Let's go somewhere else..."

Before he could finish his words, Yan Cen grabbed him by the waist and picked him up.

Li Yu'an, who was suddenly suspended in the air, cried out in surprise and clung to Yan Cen's shoulders, "What are you doing? Put me down."

"I'm tired of walking, just sit here for a while."

Yan Cen put him in a seat and then sat down next to him, but the smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows still did not fade.

Li Yu'an was "trapped" in the inner position by him and could not get up and leave, "Don't laugh at me."

"I'm not laughing at you."

"I'm obviously laughing."

"I'm really not laughing."

The three short words still leaked at the end.

Li Yu'an was arrogant and thin-skinned, and he immediately slumped on the desk, turning his head and leaving only the back of his head for Yan Cen.

Yan Cen knew that he had embarrassed his lover, so he quickly reached out and hooked his little bangs, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I won't laugh anymore."

"..."

Li Yu'an ignored him.

"Be good, turn around, quickly."

Yan Cen's fingertips slid from the little bangs to Li Yu'an's cheeks, coaxing and explaining, "I just imagined it, and I thought you were cute like that, I'm not kidding you."

Li Yu'an deliberately left Yan Cen alone for a while, and waited until the embarrassment in his heart passed, then he turned around and turned his head back -

Yan Cen was lying on the table in the same posture, also tilting his head and staring at him eagerly.

Li Yu'an couldn't hold back for a moment and laughed out loud.

Yan Cen smiled because he smiled, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Li Yu'an was still lying down, looking into his eyes, "I just think we have graduated for several years, and it's a bit childish to still lie on the desk like young kids."

Yan Cen said, "It's good to be childish together."

"Yeah."

The two of them just lay quietly on the desk, and no one got up.

The soft setting sun came in from the window and slowly enveloped them.

Li Yu'an vaguely remembered himself as a freshman, sitting in the seat that Yan Cen had sat in the last class, but he still fantasized that one day he could sit next to him.

Most of the fantasies in secret love are childish and absurd, but now, they have become reality like a dream.

Li Yu'an stared at Yan Cen's face, and suddenly a strange impulse rose up. He stretched out his index finger -

from Yan Cen's Adam's apple to his thin lips, outlining the slightly cool outline, then the tip of his nose lightly touched, and finally stopped at the center of the frame of the glasses, and lightly hooked.

The gentle glasses fell easily on the table, making a heart-stirring sound.

"Is it fun?"

Li Yu'an met Yan Cen's deep eyes, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason, "I... um!"

Yan Cen grabbed his lover's neck, kissed him quickly and accurately, and drove straight in flexibly and forcefully, entangled with him in a deep kiss.

This kiss, with the impulsive love that only comes with adolescence, is mixed with the absolute affection that only comes with adulthood.

The glasses were swept to the ground, but no one cared.

…

Li Yu'an only felt that this kiss lasted for a long, long time, so long that he vaguely recalled everything about Yan Cen, so long that he felt that he could live like this for the rest of his life.

The setting sun completely sank into the horizon, and the two ended this long and intimate kiss.

Li Yu'an blushed and licked his lips subconsciously, "It will swell now."

Yan Cen laughed, "No, I know."

Li Yu'an muttered in retort, "No one believes you."

Yan Cen pushed the blame, "You were the one who hooked off my glasses, don't take my glasses off for no reason in the future."

"..."

He changed after taking off his glasses, as if he wanted to eat him up. Li Yu'an snorted twice and ignored him.

Yan Cen picked up his glasses and put them back on. "Let's go. It's almost time. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat."

Although it was a holiday, there should still be a window open for students who stayed on campus.

Yan Cen asked, "Don't you want to eat anything in particular?"

Li Yu'an remembered something and instantly became energetic. "Yes!"

The teaching building where the stepped classroom was located was not far from the No. 2 cafeteria.

As Li Yu'an went up the stairs to the second floor, he said with some anticipation, "The pineapple fried rice at the No. 5 window is especially delicious. They also have freshly squeezed pear juice. I wonder if it's still open?"

When the Li family encountered an economic crisis, although Li Yu'an didn't have to be particularly frugal, he basically ate in the college cafeteria.

He especially liked the taste of this restaurant. Even after changing his major, he would run back every now and then to have a meal.

Yan Cen followed Li Yu'an's instructions and looked over. "The window light is on, it should be open."

Li Yu'an approached excitedly and saw the boss's face in the window. There was a flash of disappointment between his eyebrows.

Yan Cen caught it in time, "Isn't it?"

Li Yu'an looked at the boss in the window who was only in his thirties and nodded slightly, "It seems that the person has changed? The window

used to be run by a couple in their fifties and sixties." When the boss heard this, he looked at the clothes of the two people and said happily, "You are graduates, right? The ones who used to run this window were my parents. They were willing to retire last year and let me and my wife do it."

Yan Cen followed up, "Boss, can you make pineapple fried rice and freshly squeezed pear juice?"

"Of course!"

When the boss heard that they came here just for this, he patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, my father was willing to retire because he was convinced of my cooking skills, and I guarantee the taste!"

Li Yu'an said, "Then have one portion, Yan Cen, what do you want to eat?"

Yan Cen glanced at the menu and picked something that Li Yu'an might like, "And shrimp fried rice."

As he said that, he looked at Li Yu'an, "Little Mr. Li, you treat us?"

Li Yu'an had just received After receiving a big red envelope, he agreed readily, "Okay."

Yan Cen watched Li Yu'an pay the money with anticipation, and suddenly thought of something, and asked politely, "Boss, can I ask you a favor?"

The boss replied, "What is it?"

Yan Cen glanced at Li Yu'an and told the truth, "My son really likes your pineapple fried rice, but I can't come back every day after graduation. Can you do me a favor and let me go into your kitchen and learn from you?"

"Don't worry, I won't pass on this skill to anyone else, and I'll pay you the skill fee."

Li Yu'an was shocked and moved when he heard Yan Cen's long speech, and hurriedly stopped him, "Yan Cen, no, no, I don't..."

Nowadays, homosexuality and marriage are not uncommon.

"Oh, what did I think it was?"

The boss was an open-minded and warm-hearted man. He immediately said, "If you don't mind my small position as the back cook, just come in through that side door. What skill fee? No thanks."

Yan Cen nodded, "Thank you, boss."

Li Yuan whispered, "Yan Cen, do you really want to learn?"

"Don't you like to eat it?" Yan Cen hid his doting in practical actions, "I'll make it for you after I learn it. Go find a seat and sit down first. I'll be back soon."

Li Yuan was flattered by him and was immersed in a floating happiness, "Okay."

...

Pineapple fried rice is not a difficult task. It's just a matter of following Li Yuan's favorite taste and remembering the seasoning ratio and placement order.

Less than half an hour later, Yan Cen came out with two meals. "Try it?"

Li Yu'an asked. "Did you make it?"

Yan Cen shook his head. "The boss made it. I'm standing aside to learn. When I'm free in two days, I'll cook for you myself."

Li Yu'an was not disappointed at all. "Okay."

The boss brought two glasses of freshly squeezed juice and a side dish. "It's ready! These side dishes are for you. Enjoy!"

"Thank you, boss."

The fried rice at the window tasted really good. It tasted almost the same as what Li Yu'an remembered. The two of them shared it and ate it cleanly. Drinking pear juice also relieved the greasy taste in their mouths.

It was getting dark.

Li Yu'an looked out the window. "It's almost time. Shall we go home?"

Yan Cen's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked back, "Let's go out of the cafeteria to digest the food. Is there anywhere else you want to go?"

"No more..." Li Yu'an answered in a low voice, but a place suddenly popped up in his mind, "Ah, there is!"

Yan Cen asked, "Where?"

Li Yu'an drank the last sip of pear juice, with a hint of expectation, "I want to go to the small auditorium."

At the beginning, Yan Cen led the team to win the competition award, and the college presented the award to the other party in the small auditorium.

It was also in that place that Li Yu'an had his first heartbeat after realizing it belatedly.

This answer was exactly what Yan Cen wanted. "Okay, let's go there."

Li Yu'an was expecting and worried at the same time. "But it's a holiday now, will the door of the small auditorium be locked?"

Yan Cen replied meaningfully, "Let's try our luck."

"Yes."

The small auditorium is a two-story building behind the administrative building and the teaching building. As students who have been in the School of Economics together, Li Yu'an and Yan Cen found the location easily.

Coincidentally, the door on the left was not locked.

Li Yu'an was extremely surprised, "There really is a door left open?"

Yan Cen responded, "It seems that Mr. Li is very lucky today."

Except for the lights in the corridor outside, the auditorium was completely dark and empty. Yan Cen took out his mobile phone and turned on the light to illuminate the way for Li Yu'an, "Are you scared?"

"No."

Li Yu'an also took out his mobile phone to illuminate, and couldn't help but complain to himself, "You can't see anything here, and a thief who comes in will probably fall flat on his face."

Except for the two of them who were looking for trouble, there must be no students coming in, no wonder the door was not locked.

Yan Cen said, "Stand here and wait for a while, I'll look for the switch."

Li Yu'an replied, "Forget it, let's go, where can we find the switch?"

Yan Cen said firmly, "Wait for me, I can find it."

As he said that, he let go of Li Yu'an's hand and walked towards the door relying on the weak light of his mobile phone.

Within three seconds, there was a click -

half of the small light on the ceiling of the auditorium was lit. Yan Cen walked to the other side door and turned on the other half of the small ceiling light smoothly.

"How do you know the switch is behind the door?"

"I saw someone else turn it on before." Yan Cen walked back and looked at the control room on the second floor. "The stage and the headlights on the ceiling should be installed in the control room. This little brightness is enough for now."

"Yeah."

Li Yuan did not object, and even wanted to joke. "What do you think will happen if we sneak into the auditorium like this and are discovered by the administrator?" "

Don't be afraid. At least we won't be criticized by the entire college."

"That's right."

Yan Cen looked around the auditorium with curiosity that had been hidden for a long time. "Where were you sitting when I went on stage to receive the award?"

Perhaps because of the experience in the lecture hall in the afternoon, Li Yuan was no longer arrogant and shy at this moment.

He pointed to the outer perimeter of the sixth or seventh row on the right, "Probably one of those two seats, right?"

It had been a while, and he was so absorbed in the presence of Yan Cen on the stage that he couldn't really remember the exact location.

Yan Cen led him forward, "Let's go sit down and chat?" Li Yu'an was in a good mood, and followed suit, " Let's talk about

how glorious your senior was back then?" Yan Cen smiled, but didn't say anything. The two found a seat and sat down. Li Yu'an looked at the darkened auditorium stage. After so many years, he could still remember how high-spirited and brilliant Yan Cen was at that time. He went from being amazed to admiring, from liking to liking, to the point where he kept it in his heart for so many years. Li Yu'an took the initiative to speak, "Do you know what I wanted to do most at that time?" Yan Cen followed up and asked, "What?" "I wanted to be like you, standing on the award podium with my own ability." After such a long period of emotional healing, Li Yu'an was willing to face his memory of the past. "At that time, I wanted to be - another Yan Cen." Not to imitate, not to compare, but to look at my own moon from afar and work hard to become a person as good as him. Yan Cen's eyes were full of ripples. Even though he had already known about Li Yu'an's silent crush in the past few years, every time he heard the other party mention it, his heart would still be overwhelmed by endless emotion and love. "Yan Cen, what's wrong with you?" "Nothing, sit for a while?" Yan Cen found an imperfect excuse, "I'm going to the bathroom." Li Yu'an didn't doubt it, "Oh, okay." Yan Cen couldn't help but lean in and kiss the corner of his mouth, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon." Li Yu'an raised his lips, "Got it, I'm not a child." Yan Cen got up and left quickly. Li Yu'an didn't think much, but took the opportunity to pick up his mobile phone and browse the circle of friends for a while. When he saw the wedding banquet content posted by Louyang and others, he liked them one by one. He couldn't help but think: Since he has passed the parents' test, does it mean that he can also look forward to further development with Yan Cen? Time passed by minute by minute. Li Yu'an was just thinking that Yan Cen had been away for a long time, when suddenly, "boom--" all the lights in the auditorium lit up, illuminating even the stage, and then the speakers hanging on the wall made a crackling sound of electric current. Li Yu'an was stunned and didn't react for a moment. The next second, a beam of light hit him, and an extremely familiar and gentle voice came from the microphone, "Mr. Li, look up." "..." Li Yu'an looked up in shock, only to find that Yan Cen was actually standing in front of the glass window of the control room. The two people's eyes collided in mid-air, and Yan Cen raised the standing microphone and continued, "Did you know that the academy has always arranged various awards related to our profession in this auditorium?" Li Yu'an nodded. Teikyo University is divided into several colleges, but the auditorium of the College of Economics is the largest. Not only do they present awards for their own college, but other colleges also occasionally use the venue to present awards.

Yan Cen pointed out the facts again, "So, the award ceremony for that investment competition is also here."

"..."

Li Yu'an was stunned, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

For a long time, Li Yu'an was obsessed with that hastily concluded competition, and even more regretful that he couldn't attend the award ceremony in person, but he also knew in his heart that

time could not be reversed, and that competition and that award ceremony were destined to be an irreversible regret in his life.

In a brief moment of distraction, Li Yu'an heard a gentle reminder, "Go on stage and feel it?"

"What?"

Li Yu'an turned sideways to look at the stage in the auditorium. He knew that Yan Cen was playing a trick on him, but he still couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart and walked up step by step.

The spotlight that was unique to him when he went on stage to receive the award was shining on him, and the manipulator at the source was Yan Cen.

Step by step.

He was guiding him and leading him forward.

In less than half a minute, Li Yu'an walked onto the award-giving stage in the auditorium, and another beam of light accurately hit the podium in the center.

Li Yu'an looked where the light was pointing, and found a gift box wrapped in dark blue brocade cloth on the table, as if someone had carefully prepared it.

Li Yu'an immediately looked towards the control room on the second floor and murmured, "Yan Cen?"

The two were far apart, but Li Yu'an had an inexplicable intuition -

Yan Cen was waiting for him to open the gift box.

With such a subtle thought in mind, Li Yu'an's gaze once again moved back to the podium and slowly walked over.

With every step he took, a guess in his mind became more certain.

Li Yu'an reached out and carefully opened the gift box.

The moment he saw the contents of the box, he felt the blood in his body suddenly boil, rushing to his head at lightning speed, and his eyes turned red with excitement.

It was a stamped certificate, and it clearly read -

The winner of the 5th China ET Commercial Investment Competition, Li Yu'an.

"..."

Li Yu'an stared at the certificate with an official seal in disbelief, his breathing trembling.

He stepped back unconsciously and ended up running into an extremely familiar and warm embrace. "If I give you an award, will you accept it?"

Li Yu'an was still in a daze. "Is this true?"

Yan Cen hugged him from behind. "Look at this official seal. Does it look like something I can fake? If you still don't believe it, search this year's award list on the official website?"

Li Yu'an turned around and faced Yan Cen, choking. "But this award... hasn't been awarded to Pei Huan?"

Yan Cen affirmed again. "It didn't belong to him in the first place, and it certainly won't be his now. Yu'an, this award is yours, the real deal."

Li Yu'an still didn't understand, and his expression was a little helpless after being "shocked".

Yan Cen looked distressed, hugged him and explained, "Yu An, I know this is a knot and regret in your heart, so I asked Professor Liu Yi to help contact the official person in charge of this competition."

Normally, it is almost impossible to change the list of winners of the competition six or seven years ago.

Fortunately, after Professor Liu Yi heard the whole story from Yan Cen, he immediately helped to contact and get the contact information of the current person in charge of the competition. Later, for a long time,

Yan Cen was dealing with the former and latter two persons in charge of the competition, trying his best to prove it to Li Yu An.

Of course, in the end, one person was indispensable to successfully correct the list.

Li Yu'an was puzzled when he heard the name Yan Cen called out, "Pei Huan? How could he be willing to admit that he was replaced?"

Yan Cen cut to the chase, with a rare hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "For money."

Pei Huan back then could easily give An Yang 500,000 yuan for fame and fortune, but now Pei Huan is willing to sell his self-esteem and face for money.

The person in charge of the official competition knew the status of the Yan family in the Imperial Capital circle, and since Pei Huan volunteered to explain the situation and Professor Liu Yi helped to vouch for him, he helped explain the situation to his superiors.

Then there were various materials to report and appeal certificates, and there were many links in it. It would be easier for Li Yu'an to come forward in person, but in order to give his lover the biggest surprise, Yan Cen could only prepare silently behind the scenes.

Therefore, the "correction" process was dragged out for a long time, but fortunately the desired result was obtained smoothly.

Yan Cen picked up the certificate and handed it to Li Yu'an, "Yu'an, I know that many things are in the past, and no matter how I make up for it, I can't replicate the feeling at that time."

"I can't go back to be with you before graduation, and I can't comfort you in your most aggrieved and confused years, so I can only use this insignificant way-"

Walk around the campus hand in hand, sit in a daze in the classroom together, go to the cafeteria to eat the food you loved when you were a student, and walk back to the award ceremony together.

Since the old memories cannot be corrected, they will be covered with new experiences.

Li Yu'an took the certificate handed over by Yan Cen, and the moment he lowered his head, tears still fell unexpectedly.

He is not a fool, and has already realized that everything today is deliberately arranged by his lover.

Behind all the "luck" and "satisfaction" is the long-term preparation of the other party in the name of "love".

"Don't cry."

Yan Cen pressed the end of his wet eyes with his fingertips, and there was a little bit of unnoticeable tension in his doting tone, "You still haven't taken something."

Li Yu'an choked, "What?"

Yan Cen took out a velvet box from his pocket, opened it and showed it to Li Yu'an.

"..."

Li Yu'an's eyes widened, and his emotions were in turmoil.

Yan Cen took a deep breath, and his nervousness also surfaced. "I originally wanted to make the proposal more lively, but thinking of your personality, I was afraid that you would be shy and run away on the spot."

"The moment I received the award certificate the day before yesterday, I thought, why not do it now."

Even if it was just the two of them, it would be enough.

"I just said in the afternoon that I would discuss something with you in the future, and now I have broken the agreement. I'm sorry, maybe this kind of proposal will make you feel sudden, but I wanted to do this a long time ago."

Yan Cen is a steady and resolute person, but when he meets Li Yu'an, he always becomes impulsive and aggressive.

It is said that there is a transition from love to marriage -

but from the day Yan Cen learned that Li Yu'an had a "secret love", he had this idea of ​​​​being bound for a lifetime. He didn't want to wait, nor did he want Li Yu'an to wait any longer.

"You said you want to be another 'Yan Cen', but you are the unique 'Li Yu'an'."

Yan Cen presented the ring with all his heart, "I want to walk with you for the rest of my life, are you willing?"

The time was stretched so long that both of them forgot to breathe.

Li Yu'an clenched the award certificate in his hand and gave the answer in the sound of his heartbeat, "Of course I do."

He has loved the person in front of him for so long, how could he refuse this invitation that represents a lifetime?

The moment the ring was put on, Li Yu'an couldn't control his emotions and threw himself into his lover's arms.

"Yan Cen."

"I'm here."

"Thank you."

Li Yu'an knew that saying thank you between lovers would seem strange, but at this moment, he just wanted to thank Yan Cen -

thank him for tolerating his little emotions, thank him for healing the trauma brought by his original family, thank him for making up for his regrets, and thank him for choosing to love him.

Yan Cen finally relaxed his heartstrings that had been tense all day and gently rubbed Li Yu'an's head.

He understood the complex emotions behind the other person's "thank you" and responded affectionately and clearly, "I love you."

"So can you please not be stingy and say it again this afternoon?"

"Yes."

Li Yu'an cried and hugged Yan Cen tightly, "I love you, always."

Li Yu'an's love at the age of 18 and regret at the age of 19 were finally made up by Yan Cen at the age of 28.

The secret love that was thought to be buried in silence will be responded to thousands of times in the future years called "lifetime".
