Final Chapter (4) "I Promise"
"Can you eat something first?"
Shen Yuan put the porridge in his hand on the bedside table, turned a deaf ear to Pei Shinian's words, and gently helped him up from the bed.
After making Pei Shinian, who was still a little dazed, sit back down on the bed, he picked up the bowl of porridge on the bedside again, scooped it up to test the temperature, and then handed it to his lips.
"Come on, be careful with the heat."
After eating a bowl of white porridge, Pei Shinian regained some strength.
"Do you want me to help you down and walk around?"
Shen Yuan's original intention was to let her walk around properly, which would help improve her condition, but he didn't expect the person in the bed to get angry instantly.
These words reminded Pei Shinian of how this man had coaxed and tricked him into being under him last night.
"How dare you say that?! If it weren't for you..."
Pei Shinian's face flushed when he recalled the two's mischief last night, but he fell silent halfway through his words, because he was the one who indulged Shen Yuan last night, and even...
"It's my fault. I didn't control myself last night. Otherwise, you wouldn't have caught a cold."
"I'm glad to know. If you're fine, just leave."
Pei Shinian waved his hand and started to chase people away again.
"I will leave after you are well again."
After saying this, Shen Yuan moved a chair over and started to deal with the company's documents.
that's all.
Shen Yuan stayed for three days, and even when Pei Shinian recovered, he showed no sign of leaving.
On the fourth day, Pei Shinian got up early and dressed himself. He looked at Shen Yuan at the dining table with slight surprise.
According to his habits over the past three days, Shen Yuan should have left long ago.
--Are you waiting for me?
As he was thinking about this, he saw Shen Yuan put down the coffee in his hand, and his smiling eyes looked straight into his, obviously waiting for him.
"Good morning, it seems you have recovered?"
Pei Shinian's slightly formal outfit at the moment was exactly how he looked when he was working in the past.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Pei Shinian raised his eyebrows.
On the table in front of him, in addition to a breakfast prepared according to his taste, there were also several thick folders.
Pei Shinian picked up the milk and took a sip, then looked at Shen Yuan again.
"I'll take you somewhere after dinner."
Shen Yuan's words made Pei Shinian feel a little confused, and he was also a little curious about the place he was talking about.
After breakfast, Shen Yuan drove the car himself.
Not long after, Pei Shinian, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, looked at the increasingly familiar scenery around him and knew the destination of this trip.
"Why did you bring me to Jiang City? To revisit an old place?"
The first time he met Shen Yuan was in this place, and he became even more curious about the purpose of this person bringing him here.
"We'll be there soon."
Finally, the car stopped steadily in a place that Pei Shinian was so familiar with.
Looking around, it was the place where I grew up.
At the same time, Shen Yuan handed over a key.
Pei Shinian pursed his lips and said nothing. He took it silently and walked straight to the door. When he opened it and saw that the furnishings inside were the same as before, he suddenly turned around to look at Shen Yuan who was following him.
“Why are you doing this?”
"I only want to stay by your side for the rest of my life, no matter what the relationship is."
After saying that, he spread out the folder he had been carrying with him in front of Pei Shinian.
"These are all the movable and immovable properties that I have owned over the years. I admit that I don't know how to love, but these are all I can give you. Just sign your name on them, and they'll all be yours."
It turns out that Shen Yuan had planned this not long ago.
Looking at Pei Shinian's posture, if someone didn't know better, they would have thought he was proposing.
After returning from Jiang City, he never chased Shen Yuan again.
With Pei Shinian's tacit consent, Shen Yuan, who did not ask for any status at the beginning, now regards himself as Pei Shinian's boyfriend and even fiancé, where he can't see.
On this day, Pei Shinian, who was in Yunqi, happened to meet Cen Xian, who had just taken a vacation to accompany Beibei.
"Are you really going to get engaged to Shen Yuan?"
If Mr. Cen hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known that the Cen family was involved.
"Where did you hear that?"
Pei Shinian was stunned and looked at Cen Xian with confusion.
"You don't know it yet?"
Cen Xian immediately walked up to him quickly and looked at the sitting Pei Shinian with surprise.
Pei Shinian pursed his lips and said nothing. Even Cen Xian, who had just returned from vacation, knew about it. As the person involved, he was the last one to know about it. Besides, when did he ever agree to it?
I had the urge to immediately put down the work in my hands and settle the score with Shen Yuan.
He lowered his eyes and thought for two seconds. Shen Yuan couldn't run away anyway, and he would have plenty of time to go back after he was done with his work, unless he didn't want to go back to the home he had worked so hard to live in.
Although Pei Shinian thought so, after calming down, he was unexpectedly calm about this matter. Just a little unexpected.
Pei Shinian did not stay up late as usual and return home, but chose to leave work early.
It was dusk.
When Pei Shinian pushed open the door, he was almost dazzled by the scene inside the house.
"What are you doing?"
The whole room was carefully decorated by Shen Yuan, and coupled with the dishes on the dining table, ignoring the strange-looking food on the plates, it was a perfect candlelight dinner.
"I'm sorry, I don't know who spread the news that I'm your fiancé."
Shen Yuan, dressed casually, looked at Pei Shinian without any apology.
Pei Shinian folded his arms, raised his eyebrows and stared at him.
"Okay, I admit that I am not satisfied with the current situation and want a status."
As Shen Yuan spoke, he walked to Pei Shinian, hugged him in his arms, and whispered softly: "It's okay, I can wait, even if there is no answer in this life, but can you please not deny our relationship in front of outsiders."
Pei Shinian: "Then tell me, what is our relationship?"
"Have you forgotten that our two families have an engagement? You have already accepted the betrothal gift. No matter what, don't think of anyone else taking the position of fiancé except me."
Shen Yuan let the man go, took out a luxurious ring from his arms, and put the ring on Pei Shinian's middle finger right under his eyes.
And on Shen Yuan's finger, there was an identical ring.
“The style is nice.”
Pei Shinian raised his hand and looked at it twice.
When Shen Yuan saw that he didn't take it off immediately, the smile on his face almost reached his ears, completely unlike his usual mature and steady appearance.
Pei Shinian did not give Shen Yuan the answer he wanted. Just like what he said at the beginning, he might never be able to give him what he wanted in this lifetime.
But Shen Yuan still put Pei Shinian first as he had for decades, and he took care of everything from commuting to get off work, food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Live together until old age in a simple and happy way.
"Can you tell me the answer?"
On the hospital bed, Shen Yuan, with a head full of white hair, tightly grasped Pei Shinian's hand, stubbornly wanting to get the answer he had been waiting for a lifetime from him.
"I promise."
Pei Shinian held his hand tightly, without the sadness that others had expected. Even after the person on the hospital bed passed away, he handled the funeral with a stable mood.
As early as several years ago, Pei Shinian knew that Shen Yuan's health had been affected by the accident when he was young, and his life span would eventually be affected. No matter how many doctors Shen Yuan secretly met with, he could not change this fact.
Not long after dealing with Shen Yuan's funeral, Pei Shinian was found again. He was lying peacefully on the bed with a smile on his face. There was an empty bottle of sleeping pills on the bedside.
