Xiao Xin felt a tightness in his chest; it seemed he had made his wolf cub uneasy.
“Fu Yan, I’ve missed you a lot these past three years…” Xiao Xin said, taking out an old-fashioned cell phone from her coat pocket.
He pulled out the video from that schoolyard years ago, pressed play, and Fu Yan's voice came through the phone: "I like you, Xin Xin..."
Upon hearing the voice, Fu Yan stopped crying. He sobbed as he released Xiao Xin and looked at the phone in Xiao Xin's hand. "What is this?"
"This is proof that I miss you."
Fu Yan blinked, looking at those clear eyes in disbelief, before turning his gaze back to the phone screen.
The back of his head in the video is indeed his.
"You recorded my confession that time..."
Xiao Xin nodded and watched as he explained the whole story.
Fu Yan understood, and his mind was filled with a myriad of emotions.
Seeing him lost in thought, Xiao Xin explained, "This video was supposed to be a bad memory, but every time I miss you, I can't help but listen to your voice, as if you've never left..."
Fu Yan's throat tightened, and his eyes stung again. "Brother..."
Xiao Xin held Fu Yan's hand, her eyes full of tenderness, "So do you believe me now?"
Fu Yan pulled him by the shoulder and hugged Xiao Xin. "Yes, I believe you."
Xiao Xin breathed warm air into his ear and whispered, "I really love you."
He was afraid that Fu Yan would feel insecure, so he simply said a few more words: "I have always loved you."
Fu Yan felt a tickle in his heart as he was being blown around, and his heart was instantly filled with joy.
"Yes, I believe you," he said with a smile.
“Also, I apologize to you,” Xiao Xin continued in his ear, “I’ve neglected you for the past two months, but I’ve been really busy with work. I’m sorry.”
Fu Yan pressed on his shoulder, creating some distance between them.
"It doesn't matter."
After saying that, he grabbed Xiao Xin's chin and lowered his head to kiss her soft lips.
Xiao Xin held the back of his head and opened her mouth to deepen the kiss.
A warm current rose in the carriage, while at the same time, the sound of firecrackers rang out enthusiastically outside the windows, and brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky.
As the clock struck twelve, Fu Yan took advantage of the moment when he released Xiao Xin, looked into Xiao Xin's eyes and said, "Brother, Happy New Year."
Xiao Xin smiled and said, "Happy New Year!"
Fu Yan cupped his face in his hands, and amidst the dazzling fireworks, he lowered his head and kissed Xiao Xin again.
This is their first New Year together, and of course, they will spend every New Year together thereafter.
–The End–
