Chapter 42: Even When We're Together, I Still Can't Bear to Touch You
Before the car drove away, Shen Wuhuai stood there, unable to tell whether it was reality or a dream. He was still at the moment of lowering his head and looking at Yu Zhao.
He tried to confirm the truth of that statement.
No matter how many times you check, it's not annoying at all.
He saw Yu Zhao get on the back seat as quickly as possible, and heard Ming Hang asking him about his well-being as usual.
When the car was completely out of his sight, he slowly recalled what Yu Zhao had said.
He was particularly aware of his heart beating faster.
It was as if his consciousness and Yu Zhao's had already resonated with each other.
It's just that the next step requires one of them to make the invitation.
Shen Wuhuai said that he would not move forward until Yu Zhao was willing to accept another relationship. So he was able to accept Yu Zhao's invitation.
This incredible relationship, like that of lovers, made Shen Wuhuai feel like spring breeze. The corners of his mouth curled up wildly, and he couldn't help wanting to contact Yu Zhao.
So he opened Yu Zhao's chat interface again and again, as if he was a young boy who had just fallen in love, constantly confirming his lover.
When I passed by the school, I happened to meet a family of three leaving the school.
"Shen Wuhuai, why are you here?" Wu Tang stepped forward and wanted to seek justice for Yu Zhao. After all, those who broke their promises must be punished and held accountable.
Shen Wuhuai stopped and said, "I just sent Yu Zhao home." He also greeted Wu Shi, "Hello, Mr. Wu."
Yu Ke lowered his head slightly, seemingly not wanting to meet Shen Wuhuai, but thinking carefully, Shen Wuhuai had never met him before, and estimated that Shen Wuhuai was not clear about his identity.
He held his head high and puffed out his chest.
"Student Shen, how is the matter going?" Wu Shi asked.
Shen Wuhuai nodded, "Well... almost. I have to take half a day off tomorrow."
Wu Shi: "As a student, if you have something to worry about, it's fine for the teacher to grant you leave. If it's not a big deal, the teacher suggests that you still come to class. Your grades have dropped during this period."
"After tomorrow, I will come back and take classes seriously. By the way, Lao Wu, I want to tell you something."
"You say."
"Can you please change my position..." back?
"No." Wu Shi shook his head firmly, "You have to rely on your own grades. Student Shen, I hope you can get a decent score in your next exam."
Wu Tang complained quietly, "Hey, I'm still here."
Seeing that his plea was in vain, Shen Wuhuai said nothing more. He was still immersed in the time he had just spent with Yu Zhao.
He said hello to Yu Ke briefly and headed straight towards home.
Not long after he got home, he received Yu Zhao's reply. He asked Yu Zhao the following words: If I confess my feelings to you after tomorrow, will you agree?
Shen Wuhuai looked at the dialogue box.
[Zhao Zhao, the handsome and beautiful woman who is eager to protect her husband: If you are willing.]
Shen Wuhuai was almost so happy that he almost died. His mood at this moment was self-evident. He really wanted to go to Yu Zhao's residence right away and tell Yu Zhao that he really liked him.
This night is spent looking forward to tomorrow.
Maybe it's not just Shen Wuhuai. Yu Zhao lost sleep. He planned a confession all night, which ended with Zhai Jing knocking on the door and asking him to have breakfast.
He went to school, and strangely, he didn't see Shen Wuhuai.
After asking Zheng Qi, he found out that Shen Wuhuai was still applying for leave, and it was approved by Wu Shi. Yu Zhao simply stopped thinking about it, at most he could just take another step forward.
Yu Zhao attended classes for a day, during which time Yu Hao came to see him and said that Yu Zhao needed to go to Shen Wuhuai's place in the evening.
Yu Zhao agreed without hesitation that he would go even if Yu Hao didn't come to see him today.
After evening self-study, Yu Zhao packed his schoolbag and walked to the school gate with Wu Tang. Wu Tang was then picked up by Yu Ke.
"Then I'm leaving, Zhao Zhao." Wu Tang smiled and waved, "See you tomorrow."
"Okay." Yu Zhao watched Wu Tang walk towards a luxury car with a graceful man standing next to him. He inadvertently made eye contact with the man. Yu Zhao nodded slightly, then quickly looked away and walked towards Shen Wuhuai's house.
"Is that classmate just now Tangtang's friend?" Yu Ke rolled down the car window. He was distracted for a moment, as he always felt that the classmate was inexplicably familiar.
"His name is Yu Zhao. Dad, did you see him just now? I think he is very handsome, but my mother won't let me have a relationship with him."
"...Don't let your mind be filled with love, and also study hard." Yu Ke said.
Wu Tang: "You two are such a pity. You were in a premature relationship back then."
"Don't cricket your mother in front of your father."
“…”
It only takes a little courage to walk to where Shen Wuhuai lives, but it takes a lifetime of courage to recite the lines silently hundreds of times in his mind.
Although the key to happiness is in his hands, Yu Zhao is hesitant to open the door to happiness.
Finally, Yu Hao came back from the supermarket with some food and met Yu Zhao who was hesitant. "Yu Xueba, you are not afraid of the wind standing here, let's go in together."
"Um."
Yu Hao knocked on the door with a smirk. The room was dark. Yu Hao stood behind Yu Zhao. He waved in another direction, calling together the two protagonists of today.
Yu Zhao was about to ask why the lights were off, but as the warm yellow lights came on, the sound of a firework tube exploding suddenly rang out in the house. Yu Zhao gradually reacted and realized that there were no firework debris falling on his head.
He was half turned sideways. Shen Wuhuai was different from usual. It was the first time that he wore the uniform so seriously and even tied a bow tie.
He had a smile on his sunny face as he held an umbrella for Yu Zhao.
Yu Zhao stared at Shen Wuhuai in a daze. At that moment, he was attracted by Shen Wuhuai's behavior. His brain had already short-circuited and it was difficult for him to look away.
It's like deciding your whole life at first sight.
All kinds of confetti fell on the edge of the transparent umbrella. He looked up at Shen Wuhuai, only to see Shen Wuhuai smiling warmly and carefully raising his hand to put a birthday hat on him. Shen Wuhuai's blessing was completely drowned out by the blessings of other brothers.
Yu Hao stood at the doorstep and said, "Happy 18th birthday, Xueba Yu! I hope you get into the university of your dreams and everything goes well!"
"Yu Xueba must be with our brother Huai for the rest of his life!"
"happy birthday!"
Yu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and he finally managed to divert his gaze away from Shen Wuhuai.
Yu Zhao subconsciously took a half step back. Shen Wuhuai said, "Happy 18th birthday, Zhao Zhao."
Afterwards, the other brothers gave gifts and left. If they didn't leave, it would be difficult for Shen Wuhuai to carry out the next task.
Recently, only Yu Zhao and Shen Wuhuai were left in the room.
Yu Zhao was taken to the innermost part of the room, where Shen Wuhuai had carefully planned a birthday party for the two of them. Various cute little stickers were pasted on the walls.
Yu Zhao's emotions were beyond words. He followed Shen Wuhuai's steps and saw him unpacking the gift boxes one by one. Yu Zhao heard him say, "Zhao Zhao has finally grown up to be a prettier and more handsome Omega. If we had known each other before, I would never miss any important day in your life."
So Shen Wuhuai bought birthday gifts for Yu Zhao for all of his eighteen birthdays from birth to now.
From the crawling toys he gave to Yu Zhao when he was one year old and just learning to walk, to the game console he gave to him when he was twelve years old and loved to play, Shen Wuhuai introduced them all to Yu Zhao.
Yu Zhao didn't care about the gifts at all. He took in the serious look on Shen Wuhuai's face, which was deeply engraved in his heart.
Shen Wuhuai said, "You have always been lonely, I know that. So when I fell in love with you, I decided that I would go to school with you and have a good meal with you. But it couldn't make up for your lonely days, so I bought this doll to make up for your sixteen years."
"Shen Wuhuai..." Yu Zhao's voice trembled. He wanted to cry, so he called his name.
"Zhao Zhao, please wait for me to tell you, okay?" Shen Wuhuai said softly.
"good."
"When you were seventeen, you met me. You once asked me what kind of person you were to me. You didn't have a reference answer, and I didn't have a perfect answer for you. You are free and spontaneous, and the butterfly symbolizes freedom. This is a gift I designed myself."
Shen Wuhuai placed the butterfly pendant in Yu Zhao's palm, and their two warm fingers touched each other, carefully and warming each other.
"Finally, this is your coming-of-age gift." Shen Wuhuai licked his dry lips. "I'm not sure if you will want this gift, at least before I hear the words that we can be lovers, the gift I give you for turning 18 is just to let me stay by your side forever."
That's all he wants, and that's all he can be greedy for right now.
Companionship is the real gift.
But Shen Wuhuai wanted him to be a gift to Yu Zhao.
Shen Wuhuai repeated again, "Happy birthday."
"Thank you, Shen Wuhuai." Yu Zhao looked at Shen Wuhuai with a little more affection in his eyes.
He couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He swallowed and said, "Shen Wuhuai, I won't consider you a friend anymore."
Shen Wuhuai was slightly stunned.
"From the first time we met to every step until now, I cannot deny the fact that when you asked me to consider dating you, I should have admitted that I would not forget you."
Whatever he did, he was already influenced by Shen Wuhuai.
Yu Zhao was still a little shy when he spoke, his voice was hoarse, "I will never forget the help you gave me, regarding my grandpa and grandma's funeral. I really thank you."
"You, how do you know?" Shen Wuhuai asked back.
Zhai Jing said that there was no need to mention this matter again to make Yu Zhao sad.
Shen Wuhuai knew that he didn't need to use this matter to restrain Yu Zhao.
Yu Zhao did not answer. He held the pendant tightly. "Anyway... Shen Wuhuai, I have liked you for a long time."
Yu Zhao, who had said that he would not fall in love, was slapped in the face. He had long been unable to extricate himself and was deeply trapped in this.
Yu Zhao added, "If you're willing, can you let me be your boyfriend?"
Hearing this, Shen Wuhuai burst out laughing. So this is how it feels to be confessed to.
He moved closer to Yu Zhao little by little, the pheromones of osmanthus spread and invaded his taste buds, like the blooming autumn, leaving an eternal memory in his mind.
"Yu Zhao, you idiot. I was the first to confess my feelings." Shen Wuhuai embraced him. Finally, they could hug each other openly. He leaned against Yu Zhao's neck and said, "So, are we together?"
"You didn't agree." Yu Zhao hugged back his arms and responded to him.
"Of course I agreed. Now I have a boyfriend too." Shen Wuhuai smiled, "Thank you for being my boyfriend. I like you so much."
There would be a kiss after the confession, but they didn't.
Shen Wuhuai just held Yu Zhao's hand tightly, which was soft and warm.
Even though they became a couple, Shen Wuhuai still felt it was unreal. Even when they were together, he still couldn't bear to touch Yu Zhao.
However, Yu Zhao had to go home today, as Zhai Jing requested. Shen Wuhuai said, "I'll take you home."
"Okay." Yu Zhao took the initiative to hold her hand, and they walked together on a street with few pedestrians, from the bright neon lights to the night road where the street lights were broken and they had to walk closely.
Their hands were interlocked.
Shen Wuhuai never let go. This was the first time Shen Wuhuai had walked this road. Before he set off, he said, "It seems I have to walk this road twice more in the future. Otherwise, I might get lost when I send my boyfriend home."
Yu Zhao smiled, "If you get lost, just give me a call and I'll come find you."
"Boyfriend, you are so nice." Shen Wuhuai sent him home safely, "See you tomorrow, Zhao Zhao."
Yu Zhao smiled and responded, "Be careful, Wu Huai."
He knocked on the doorbell and it was Mingluo who opened the door. The next second, Zhai Jing and Minghang stuck their heads out at the same time and said in unison, "Happy birthday, classmate Yu Zhao!"
