Chapter 75 – They Are Each Other’s Youth

Having your memories fragmented due to being too much drunk is not terrible. What is awful is the fact that there are people that would help you with those terrible, embarrassing memories of what you did on that drunken night of yours.

Jian Songyi finally got past his shaving phase and was preparing to make a scene with Bai Huai in an attempt to forget yesterday’s embarrassment. As a result, he was forced to think of another memory that made him want to strangle himself.

Forget about revealing your relationship in front of your parents.

How dare you threaten to elope without getting married?

How can you be so capable?

It’s so fucking humiliating.

And Bai Huai, this dog, he unexpectedly recorded and kept evidence about it. He must have wanted to deliberately make Jian Songyi see his own foolishness. He must’ve wanted him to be ashamed of himself.

Rubbish!

Big trash!

Mind dog!

The more Jian Songyi thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. The angrier he became, the more his kisses turned into bites.

As soon as his teeth sank into Bai Huai’s skin, his original pale complexion take into effect and turn reddish in color. 

A tingling pain of sensation spread across his body.

Bai Huai thought that he had to buy some large bags of pine nuts for the squirrel in the family to grind onto.

His teeth are not that sharp but still…

Thinking about this, Bai Huai holds Jian Songyi’s hand tightly. “This is not something I calculated.” He tried coaxing.

“Not something you calculated, my ass!” Jian Songyi’s ears flushed in anger. “If this is not one of your tactics, then why did you record it? You’re treating me like Peng Minghong? Am I your class enemy or something?”

“It is a sweet souvenir.”

“What souvenir? You want to keep it and threaten me? Do not think that I do not know.” Jian Songyi opened Bai Huai’s hand as he tried to snatch his mobile phone from him. 

However, Bai Huai has longer arms and faster reflexes. He got the phone before Jian Songyi and pressed him down with one hand. Bai Huai did not let him move while holding the phone away from him with his other hand.

Jian Songyi was willing to grab it. But in the end, he has to give up due to the physical gap between an Alpha and an Omega. Jian Songyi tried arguing for a long time and made his face flush. However, there is nothing for him to do as he was completely disabled from Bai Huai’s hold. He could not even reach the edge of his phone. 

He was so angry that he punched BaiHuai’s chest. “Give me the phone and delete the recording!”

“You can’t delete it!”

“Delete it!”

Jian Songyi was so embarrassed and angry that he was grasping the straw by staying fierce.

Bai Huai directly pressed his head and went down to kiss him. “Don’t delete it.”

“Delete it!”

Kiss.

“Don’t think that if you kiss me, I will let you go!”

Another kiss.

“You fucking-“

Another one.

“I’ll go to you-“

A lingering one.

……….

With a mouthful of crispy bawls, Jian Songyi lost his temper, so he could only kick Bai Huai and got up from him angrily, pointing at him with a ferocious look on his face: “As long as you don’t delete it, you won’t touch me for a day.”

Then he slammed the door and left.

As soon as he went out, the downstairs door opened. Mrs. Tang and Mr. Jian came back. Hearing noise upstairs, they looked up and saw Bai Huai pulling a pretty boy with a familiar face as if to coax him.

Why is Bai Huai pulling someone into their own house? What is the point?

Mrs. Tang smiled awkwardly but politely before speaking, “Xiaohuai, bring friends to play? What about trifling? “

“…..”

There was a brief silence.

Jian Songyi shouted in despair, “Mom!”

Upon hearing the word ‘mom’ from the unknown person, Mrs. Tang was stunned for a while. And then she fixed her eyes on it and immediately leaned on Mr. Jian’s body for support as she laughed wildly: “Hahahahahaha…”

Mr. Jian put his arms around Mrs. Tang and looked up. Looking at Jian Songyi, he also suppressed a smile: “Yes, it looks cool and suitable for winter.”

After Jian Songyi cut his hair, he has not looked in the mirror once. Bai Huai said and convinced him that he looked good. Now that he is looking at Mrs. Tang with his father’s reaction, he firmly believes that it must be unsightly.

Trash Bai Huai must have instructed Tony to give him an ugly haircut and lied to him about not looking in the mirror since he already looks so good. Bai Huai wanted to make him look like a joke.

Jian Songyi was so angry that she rushed in again and slammed the door.

Mrs. Tang realized that she must’ve laughed so hard that she yelled out for his son. “It is alright. Mom is not laughing anymore. Come down now, and let’s go. Xiaohuai, have you packed your things yet?”

“It’s ready.”

“Alright, you take that little boy down and don’t let make him trouble. Or else we will be too late. It will be a hassle if we get stuck in the traffic.”

Jian Songyi did not wait for Bai Huai to come and carry him. He went down on his own while speaking, “Mom, why do we have to take Bai Huai to the seaside with us this New Year?”

“Aren’t you making so much fuss about marrying Bai Huai last night? Since you are getting married, he is already family. Of course, we would want to celebrate the New Year together.”

“…..”

Jian Songyi could not scold his mother like Bai Huai, so he could only hold his anger back. He put on his hat angrily and stomped downstairs while wrapping his scarf around his neck.

He got out of the house, got in the car, closed his eyes, and pretended to fall asleep.

Bai Huai looked at the avocado-colored hat and knew that the little thing was being intentional and angry. He went back to his room and followed him with his suitcase.

When he went out, Mrs. Tang hadn’t stopped laughing completely. As she walked, she said, “Xiaohuai, go to the car and make a noise. Don’t let him get mad at himself. In fact, the new haircut looks good. I just want to tease him. He is so funny. “

At least someone is happy. Although, Bai Huai may not be able to coax him back.

Bai Huai smiled helplessly. He walked a few steps faster, got in the car, and sat next to Jian Songyi. He wanted to hold hands, but his hand was knocked off. He tried to hug, and he was directly punched over.

It’s over. Jian Songyi doesn’t want to touch Bai Huai.

Bai Huai was just about to coax him, but Mrs. Tang and Mr. Jian got in the vehicle already.

Bai Huai knows that if he doesn’t behave in front of someone’s parents, then that someone will definitely not let him touch him tonight and have no choice but to give up.

Bai Huai planned to be a man, but Mrs. Tang seemed to have regained the pleasure of playing with her cubs after many years. She sat beside the driver’s seat, turned her head, and handed over a small mirror: “Son, look, it’s beautiful, really. Mom is not lying to you; our baby is super beautiful.”

“Mom!”

Although he said that he would not love his face or image so much in the future, the burden of being idolized for so many years had gone deep into his bone marrow. Jian Songyi simply turned over, curled up, pulled the blanket, covered his head, and ignored everyone.

Knowing that he could not be amused anymore, Bai Huai hurriedly said to Mrs. Tang, “Auntie, Jian Songyi didn’t seem to have a good rest yesterday. Let him get some sleep first.”

Come on, it’s starting to hurt people.

Mrs. Tang made an OK gesture, turned around, and peeled grapes for Mr. Jian in the driver’s seat.

 The car drove slowly to the east.

In fact, it used to be a tradition for two families to go to the seaside villa in the east for the New year.

It’s just that later, when the dads were old and had many students, even when it came to the holidays, they were either busy inspecting or meeting the students’ subordinates. This resulted in them bailing out of the tradition.

After Wen Zhimian died, Bai Han went to Beicheng and did not come back, so Bai Huai gradually became a member of the Jian family of three.

Later, Bai Huai left, leaving only the Jian family of three.

Last year, Mrs. Tang also said, “I don’t know why, this day is getting colder and lonelier, and less and less lively.”

She is a lively person, so she is really happy when Bai Huai comes back this year.

By the time we got to the place, the night had begun to fall.

When Jian Songyi was woken up, he found himself pillowed on Bai Huai’s leg. And on top of that, Bai Huai was even running his fingers through his scalp. He was suddenly displeased. He slapped his face to wake himself up fully, sat up, opened the car door, and went to the villa.

Bai Huai moved his numb legs and scolded the little thing which crossed the river and opened the bridge. Then he slowly took out his luggage from the trunk and followed.

This island is actually a bit desolate. It was bought cheaply by Comrade Jian Lao in the early years. At that time, transportation was inconvenient, and the area was very small. Everyone thought it was a failed investment.

As a result, it was later found that this was not a business investment, for they would build a villa and live on their own.

It is said that Jian’s wife’s dream when she was a teenager was to have a big glass house on the island. As soon as she opened her eyes, she wanted to see the sea and sunshine, so Jian always reprimanded Mrs. Qian Jinbo’s dream with a smile.

Later, when the bridge was opened, the land price increased dozens of times, and everyone advised Jian Lao to make a profit by selling it, but Lao Jane did not sell it either. Not only did he not sell it, but he converted the walls of the villa with the latest intelligent glass floor-to-ceiling windows.

Just so that as soon as you open your eyes, you can see the sea and the sun.

Bai Huai looked at the villa he was familiar with in his memory and smiled. With such a pair of parents in front of him, he estimated that he would have to work harder to make Jian Songyi feel that he had nothing to lose in marrying her.

The villa has a total of five rooms, which have been cleaned up before they arrived.

The couple naturally chose the largest master bedroom.

Jian Songyi walked to the smallest room on the corner of the house, but it was closest to the sea, which is why he had loved it since he was a child. He always chooses to stay there and it has already become a habit.

Bai Huai naturally followed him, but Jian Songyi paused and turned around to face him with an eyebrow raised in an unfriendly manner.

Bai Huai also raised one of his eyebrows and said, “Don’t you want to sleep together?”

“My parents are right over there.”

“It’s not like we haven’t slept together, and it’s not like your parents don’t know.”

The word “slept” is really too ambiguous, that Jian Songyi’s ear immediately flushed red.

“And your mother only had two rooms cleaned up. But if you don’t mind, I’ll tell Aunt Tang that you won’t let me touch you, so I’ll have to clean up another room. “

What a fart! After that, there was another merciless mockery!

Jian Songyi then realized that they are now four people in the villa and could not refute what he had said. And so, he has no choice but to turn and enter the door angrily. He plopped himself against the sofa and began to play with his cell phone.

Meanwhile, Bai Huai opened his suitcase and took out his things slowly since they would be staying here for two to three days. 

Bai Huai was unpacking all by himself, which made Jian Songyi feel a little guilty. Because of this, he could not help himself but secretly glance over at Bai Huai. In an instant, his eyes caught a glimpse of a black familiar cloth in Bai Huai’s hand. He immediately bounced up from the sofa, rushed straight over him, grabbed it, and hid it behind him.

“What are you doing with my underwear?!”

“Your mother asked me to pack for you. What if you forget to pack the essentials is what she said. So, should I not obey her wish when it’s a possibility?”

“…..”

“Or do you want to wear the same undergarments for three days straight?”

“…..”

“Hmmmm? Or wear mine? I do not mind, but you know that my thing is bigger than yours which will make it too loose for you.”

“You fool! How dare you show off how big you are?!”

Bai Huai could not help but laugh at the angry Jian Songyi. He really dared laugh at Jian Songyi for not being as big as him! Is it that interesting to compare the length of an Alpha to an Omega?

Jian Songyi wanted to diss Bai Huai against his conscience, but Bai Huai was quick to wrap him into his arm and squeeze him close. He chuckled a little: “It’s not like I haven’t seen it before; what are you ashamed of? We are an old husband and wife.”

“Who is your old husband? Wife, we’ll be fine for a week.”

“Well, three times a week.”

Bai Huai didn’t put it into much detail, but Jian Songyi instantly understood what he meant by three times. 

By three times, it was all because Jian Songyi would take the initiative and provoke Bai Huai. So even if he wanted to scold Bai Huai for bringing that up, he couldn’t do it. 

Jian Songyi could only shove his underwear into the drawer. With a cold expression on his face, he tried to drive Bai Huai to the living room.

However, as soon as he opened the door, they ran into Mr. Jian and Mrs. Tang.

The two of them had already changed into a set of clothes, and they were all dressed up.

Jian Songyi had a bad premonition: “What are you doing?”

Mr. Jian hugged Mrs. Tang: “I’ll take your mother to the other side for a French meal, watch a light show, and then come back.”

Jian Songyi: “… What about me?”

“Should I take care of you? You got yourself a boyfriend to take care of yourself. After so many years, I can finally let you go out with your little bastard. I must hurry up and have a comfortable two-person world with your mother. You’re an adult now; just do whatever you want.” Mr. Jian said before patting Bai Huai’s shoulder. “Xiaohuai, it’s going to be hard work. Everything you would need is in the kitchen, but if it gets too hard, there are instant noodles there as well.”

Jian Songyi was speechless and choked: “Am I still your own? Other people’s families have children, and the relationship between husband and wife fades away. But in your case, your relationship with me is the one that slowly fades? “

Mr. Jian Mrs. Tang took on her coat and said with a smile, “Little bastard, can you compare yourself with your mother? I have some ideas in my heart.”

Jian Songyi couldn’t stand it anymore, so he sent them to the car: “Okay, okay, you go to your two-person world; I’ve been bothering you for so many years.”

That’s what he said, but he was still happy for his parents.

When he turned around, he saw Bai Huai leaning against the door and pointing two fingers at him.

He asked vigilantly, “What are you doing?”

Bai Huai smiled ambiguously: “We are also in a world of two.”

“Will you delete the recording?”

“No.”

“Heh.” Jian Songyi gave a cold smile, “Then we have a separate world for the two of us.”

With that, he slammed the door, closed the curtains, shrank into the sofa, and began to play a game on his phone.

 Generally speaking, according to Bai Huai’s temper, he will follow in the next second.

However, after Jian Songyi ate six handfuls of chickens, there was still no movement at the door, so he couldn’t help arching an eyebrow.

Where’s Bai Huai?

As soon as he was about to open the door to call him, Jian Songyi remembered that he was still threatening to delete the recording, so he stood up and sat back.

He reopened his game and started playing another round of it until he once again finished it.

Bai Huai hasn’t shown up yet.

He played another round again and let it occupy him. 

Bai Huai still didn’t show up.

When Jian Songyi looked at the time, it was ten o’clock in the evening already.

He began to get restless.

Bai Huai is not angry with him, is he? Is Jian Songyi a little out of the line today? It seems like it.

But he just told BaiHuai about his feelings and then threatened him.

He has such a bad habit.

Jian Songyi took off his hat and rubbed his head. His short hair reminded him to consider Bai Huai’s feelings more.

A real man should not only be bald for love but also lose face for love.

‘No, I have to coax Bai Huai myself.’ He thought.

Jian Songyi got up and opened the door only to find the villa empty- there was not a single soul there.

Did Bai Huai run away?

Jian Songyi quickened his pace and went out, but as soon as he turned around, he froze.

Outside the glass window, there is the seaside on a winter night. The night is low, and the stars and river are bright. If you don’t pay attention, you will fall into the sea and then be sent to the beach by the cool water accompanied by the shallow tide.

Under the night sky, there are several rows of bright and lustrous characters.

Jian Songyi,

Happy birthday.

I love you.

The stars are shining all over the beach.

And Bai Huai stood between those glittering stars, standing straight and proud while looking at him with a gentle smile plastered upon his lips.

The night wind picked up his hair and swept across his eyebrows and eyes, reflecting the warm light, which was very beautiful.

Jian Songyi opened the door and went out. The cold wind blew with the fishy taste of the sea, and instantly, he felt a bone-to-bone chill.

It’s cold.

The warmth of the room almost made him forget that it was a wet and cold season in the depths of winter.

So Bai Huai stayed out for two hours alone, just to make such a surprise.

Jian Songyi’s face softened: “Rustic and vulgar.”

He actually felt distressed.

Bai Huai knew this little arrogance too well. He smiled and spread his arms slightly.

Jian Songyi lowered his head and walked over to him slowly, step by step. When he walked in front of Bai Huai, Bai Huai closed his arms and hugged him.

Bai Huai chuckled: “Didn’t you say that you won’t let me touch you unless I delete the recording?”

Jian Songyi immediately broke free and was about to leave. But Bai Huai pressed him back: “So cruel? My head hurts, and you are not moved still?”

“I’m not Zhuo Luo. What are you doing with all this?” Jian Song obviously disliked it, but in fact, he was still distressed.

“I want my boyfriend to have a romantic birthday.”

“Hypocritical.”

“There are a total of 1314 crystal lamps here. I just want to draw a bright head; I hope I can be with you all my life, and I hope you can be happy all my life.”

Jian Songyi lays softly in Bai Huai’s arms: ” Don’t think that I will forgive you for plotting against me.”

Bai Huai rubbed his head: “Well, my boyfriend is hard to coax. I know, so I also prepared two gifts. I don’t know if I can make you forgive me with this, but raise your head to have a look?”

Jian Songyi raised his head as Bai Huai said.

Only to find out that an outdoor projector was installed on the beach at some point.

Bai Huai pressed the remote control, which made the curtain fall and revealed an image.

The gentle background voice should be the photographer back then.

On the screen is what seems to be a milk-looking doll, very good-looking, but he is seated with a straight face.

The photographer seems to have noticed this, poking the doll in the face: “Oh, why don’t our HuaiHuai laugh? HuaiHuai, smile, give your father a smile, and your father will show you a little doll smaller than you. “

With a snap, the baby turned over to reveal his tiny butt.

Upon seeing this, Jian Songyi could not help but laugh: “Why do you think you have been so annoying since you were a child?”

Bai Huai patted him on the head: “Take a good look at your video.”

When Jian Songyi’s eyes returned to the screen, it could be seen that the milky doll was then picked up since he doesn’t really cooperate. The camera wobbles a bit as the cameraman walks, opening a door.

“Xiaoyi, I brought HuaiHuai to see you.”

The picture shows a young Mrs. Tang holding a little one in her arms. The camera gets a little closer and takes a picture of the little one. His eyes are tightly closed and crumpled. It doesn’t look good at all.

But the milk doll, who didn’t cooperate very well, suddenly “popped”.

Then came the photographer’s surprised voice: “Hey, he laughed. HuaiHuai laughed. Did HuaiHuai like his younger brother, so he smiled?”

Milk doll: “Bah!”

He reached out his little hand to touch the little one.

The adults were happy, laughing, and coaxing: “Good boy, your little brother is still young, so you can’t touch him. If you touch him, he will cry. You can take him to play when he grows up.”

After a commotion, the screen switched.

The baby seemed to be over a year old, sitting in the padded nursery with a smaller ball sitting opposite. He looked white and tender while crawling around as if trying to stand up. As a result, when he stood up, he just lifted my leg and fell once. So he stood up, raised his leg, and fell again. While tossing and turning, the little ball burst into tears.

Then the one-year-old doll looked at the crying little ball for ten minutes. He finally puts the toy in his hand, stands up, and walks all the way to him. He chirped in two words: “Look at me.”

Then he walked around the baby’s room steadily. After walking, he looked back at the little ball.

Jian Songyi didn’t remember the previous clip, but he knew this because he had seen his mother watch this repeatedly and laugh countless times, saying that Bai Huai bullied him once when he was still a baby.

Jian Songyi felt angry whenever he thought of this: “Can you tell me why you owed it so much when you were a child? Didn’t you just learn to walk earlier than me? You wanted to show off that bad?”

 Bai Huai didn’t expect that Jian Songyi would still remember this feud and laughed: “Although it was a long time ago, I can’t remember exactly what happened at that time, but from what I know about myself, I’m not showing off, I’m teaching you to walk.”

“Your eyes are clearly contemptuous!”

“Do you know why I am not near-sighted yet I wear glasses?”

“Because you like to pretend to be one.”

“I have a mild congenital astigmatism.”

“…..”

Bai Huai smiled softly: “Why do you have to fight with me every day for a while? Who runs faster than me? I remember the grudge I kept very well. Jian Songyi, just tell me, how can you make it up to me after you have misunderstood me for so many years? “

“…..” Jian Songyi loosely changed the subject and pointed to the screen: “Look, you hit me. It’s not that I wronged you this time!”

Sure enough, there are two small black and blue puddings in the picture, one shorter, rounder, and crying: “Xiaoyi will never play with brother Huai again. Brother Huai doesn’t like Xiaoyi, woo woo, Xioyi is so sad, wooo.”

Crying pitifully, Mrs. Tang took the small ball away in distress.

Only the other one was taller and thinner, pursing his mouth and saying nothing.

The person filming asked in a low voice: “Come on, tell Dad, why did you fight with Xiaoyi?”

“…..”

“Didn’t Dad teach you that you must answer questions from elders, eh?” The voice was patient and gentle.

The little boy pursed his lips: “Xiaoyi said that he wants to marry me as a wife, but I don’t want to.” 

The photographer was obviously stunned and then smiled lowly: “Didn’t you say that you like Xiaoyi the most? Why don’t you want to marry him then? “

“Because the big dad said that marrying a wife is to protect his wife, but I don’t want Xiaoyi to protect me; I want to protect Xiaoyi, so I don’t want to be his wife.” 

The photographer turned the camera in a different direction: “This gentleman, please explain to me why you are talking about such serious and profound things with a four-year-old child?”

The man in the camera was sitting on the sofa with his head raised proudly. He raised his lips and smiled: “I am not wrong. To take a wife is to protect the wife. Xiaohuai, you’ve done a good job. That’s what it’s all about. He’s really my son. “

……….

Jian Songyi glanced back at Bai Huai. “Is that why you hit me at that time?”

“It’s you who want to hit me. That’s what you call self-defense.”

In simple recollection, that was indeed the case.

“But it’s worth being beaten by you. I get to marry you anyway.”

Jian Songyi elbowed him: “Go away; I didn’t say I wanted to marry you.”

“I have a recording.”

“How dare you talk about the recording!” 

Jian Songyi wanted to pick a fight again, so Bai Huai hurriedly pressed him down: “Alright, alright. Just continue watching.”

“Huh”

Jian Songyi was also curious as to where the videos that Bai Huai is playing right now came from and what else are they about, so he turned his head and continued to watch.

The videos mainly record Bai Huai’s growing experience, but since the two of them are inseparable, the first time they walk, they talk, learn to draw, and play the piano together were all recorded.

The person behind the camera was Bai Huai’s father, the gentle Omega, Wen Zhimian.

But then, as the transition went on, it changed and became Mrs. Tang.

Jian Songyi knew that it was Uncle Wen Zhimian who died that year, and ever since Mrs. Tang took over his duties, recording the life of the two children growing up.

It’s just that later, for some reason, the photographer became Bai Huai, and the content gradually changed from Bai Huai as the center to Jian Songyi as the center of the clips.

Bai Huai recorded every birthday, every sports meeting, every speech contest, every piano award, and so on, and recorded him bit by bit from a small ball to a domineering and bright teenager.

The camera angle came from the height of a child, only reaching out the waist of a full adult to its shoulder, and now seeing eye to eye.

They had really grown up.

However, from the age of six to fourteen, all the videos only make of Jian Songyi.

“Why is it just me?”

“When you were in second grade in primary school, your mother took part in the sports meeting for the first time. She was going to record it, but she wore high heels and couldn’t keep up with you. So I had to record it and from there, I just get used to it.”

Jian Songyi then realized that although he and Bai Huai had not been in the same school since primary, Bai Huai had not been absent from all kinds of activities.

No wonder.

No wonder Bai Huai is obviously not a person who dislikes sports, but he didn’t sign up for the last sports meeting. He was only willing to make a video recording, and the video was full of himself.

That’s his habit. He’s used to watching Jian Songyi make trouble and enjoy himself.

Within his eighteen years of existence, Jian Songyi had never lost anything. He has the affection and attention of others, intelligence, talent, and money, which let him live a very comfortable life. But he ignored the person who was obviously better than him. The one who always stayed by his side, let him indulge, gave way just so he could protect him.

The one who was never absent.

Bai Huai is correct to say that they are old husbands and wives.

In fact, even if they still haven’t acknowledged their romantic feelings for each other, they’re already the most important person in each other’s life.

Looking at the lively self on the screen, Jian Songyi suddenly realized how smooth, happy, and lucky he had been all his life.

So when all the excitement came to an abrupt end, and the camera suddenly became lonely, he was distressed for a moment.

It was an empty room, and Bai Huai was there looking at the camera, looking lonely and gentle.

“Jian Songyi, today is your fifteenth birthday. This is also your first birthday that I didn’t accompany you. I remember once when I forgot to greet you with a happy birthday; you got so angry that it was so hard to make you feel better again. I am not sure if you would get mad longer this time around. But I hope you don’t get angry because I couldn’t coax you like before. To be honest, I want to. I want to be there and not just coax you. It’s just that… I like you. Please tell me what to do for I like you so much.”

“Jian Songyi, today is my father’s death anniversary. I went back to Nancheng. I couldn’t help it and took a sneak look. You are taller and prettier now. The Omega who brought you water should like you very much. He seems to have a good temper. I am relieved that someone will take care of you at last. You will be fine. “

“Jian Songyi, you are sixteen years old today, and for more than a year, I don’t seem to miss you that much. Well, I don’t miss you… At least, that’s what I tell myself. “

“Jian Songyi, you are 17 years old today, but I still miss you so much.”

“The DVD broke down a few days ago. The technician said that it was because I had watched it over and over again. The machine was too old to withstand the fever. I will save it for later use, so I may not be able to watch it every day in the future. So this may be my last video. You may never hear this sentence, but I still want to say, Jian Songyi, I like you. I like you at the age of 14, I like you at the age of 15, I like you at the age of 16, and I still like you at the age of 17. I don’t know how old I have to wait before I stop liking you. “

“Jian Songyi, I miss you.”

…….

Jian Songyi felt that his eyes were sore, so he lowered his head as his voice trembled a little: “The wind blowing at the seaside is making my eyes dry.”

Instead of looking at the screen, he just heard the sound of Liangzhu’s piano.

The old-fashioned DV that Mrs. Tang took that day belonged to Bai Huai, which was left to him by his father. He was reluctant to watch it, reluctant to use it, and was willing to use it to record everything related to him.

Jian Songyi felt that Bai Huai was a bad person since he wanted to make him cry on his birthday.

Bai Huai hugged him, helped him block the wind, and explained patiently and gently: “Jian Songyi, this DV has been with me for many years. Because I have lost too many things, those things are too short-lived. I can’t keep them, and there is only this form that I can prove that I have them. I cherish every time you say that you like me, love me, and want to be with me. You are usually too stubborn to say anything good, but I would also like to hear it. So I always want to keep it and sometimes I listen to it. I am delighted whenever I look back at these recordings, so can you not let me delete them? I want to keep it.”

Jian Songyi rubbed the corner of his eyes: “I won’t make you delete it. I’ll record whatever you want to listen to in the future.”

“Then stretch out your hand.”

Jian Songyi stretched out his hand obediently.

Bai Huai put on a bunch of keys against his palm: “This is my third birthday present.”

Jian Songyi raised his head at him.

“In Beicheng, the house that Bai Han took us to was left to me by my father. He bought and used it when he was still at school. I went to see it. It was quite big, and there was a big balcony, but it was a little old. I drew drawings these days, contacted my aunt, and asked her to find someone to help me redecorate it. “

“You like to stay in bed, so I bought the biggest and softest bed. You like playing basketball, so I set up indoor rebounds. There is a study there too. Our computers are next to each other, we can play games together. And there is a tatami for you to slack off. The balcony is big. I want to plant full roses and find the most beautiful rose seeds. Every morning you can pick one and give it to me. I’ll give you a kiss in exchange and then go to school together. I thought I could cook, make you fat, wash your clothes and dishes, and I’ll do it all the chores for you too. “

“I think we may all be better off in the future, and we can live well without the support of our parents, but in any case, I will give you all the best things I can come up with. As long as I have it, I will give it to you.”

“So Jian Songyi, can it count when you said you want to marry me? I really like you for too many years, and I want to be able to like you every day for the rest of my life.”

Maybe it’s really too windy.

For many years, Jian Songyi didn’t know what it felt like when the liquid slipped from the corner of his eyes.

He didn’t know why he wanted to cry. It was probably the most direct way of presenting his life for more than ten years before he suddenly understood.

He and Bai Huai have been together for so many years.

Obviously, they are still very young, but in this young life, all love and hate are related to each other.

And Bai Huai loves him, loves him so much, tenderly, silently, and persistently.

Obviously, he is only a teenager, but because he is not as lucky as himself, he has long understood many human sufferings, and he should give him some luck.

He raised his head and kissed Bai Huai with affection he had never felt before.

On the deserted beach, the starry sky is vast, the lights are bright, and the night wind is gentle.

The bell rang at twelve, and the fireworks in the distance were gorgeous.

“Bai Huai, I love you. I don’t know when I started to love you, but I love you when I was eighteen, and I will love you when I turn nineteen. Every day and every year from now on, I will love you. I love you.”

He had never said such solemn and tender loving words.

Bai Huai lowered his head and kissed him deeply.

Young love is always criticized for being reckless, shallow, and vulnerable.

But no one understands that they are each other’s youth.
