Chen Shi came from home the day before. The house was found, and it belonged to a relative. The family had gone to other places long ago, and they did not come back in the past few years. He put all the bits and pieces where they should be placed, and bought a few pots of plants to put on the table, and a job has been found, just waiting for Huang Dan to come.

Earlier, when Chen Shi came out first to the road to pick Huang Dan, he began to pay attention to the shops on the side of the road. He knew that there was a restaurant recruiting summer workers, and he went in to ask about the situation. The work is not cumbersome, just remember the food and beverages ordered by the guests, and help to deliver them to the table.

Chen Shi’s appearance is very good, and he is not impetuous. At that time, he left a good impression on the vice president in the restaurant. He left his contact information and asked for the other party’s. He said that he would bring a classmate with him, and he came over after saying hello.

At this time, he received the hand of the person, and Chen Shi hadn’t touched it yet, but when he heard what the other party said, his palms became wet, “Say it again.”

Huang Dan pulled a large black suitcase towards the exit.

Chen Shi grabbed the youngster’s hand, and brought the suitcase over to himself, “Zhang Shuran, don’t tell me, you passed out from the ride just now, your mind is not clear, and you can’t remember what you said.”

Huang Dan glanced at him, “I just sat in the bus for more than an hour, and I can’t faint.”

Chen Shi’s eyes were dark and bright, “So?”

Huang Dan said, “You heard me.”

Chen Shi rubbed the youngster’s hair with his free hand, “Gege, I, can’t believe it. Say it again and make Gege sure.”

Huang Dan’s body was sweating, sticky and uncomfortable, and he said as he walked, “You always said wait until I am eighteen, it would be after twelve o’clock at night, and you can do anything to me. “

Chen Shi stepped forward and pressed the youngster’s shoulder with one hand to make him stop, “Anything is fine?”

Huang Dan thought for a while, “Just don’t make me hurt to death.”

Chen Shi scratched the youngster’s forehead with his thumb, and he was smiling, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes, he grinded his back molars and said, “That’s amazing, Zhang Shuran, once you fucking say that word, Gege, I, won’t be able to get hard right away.”

Huang Dan patted Chen Shi’s hand.

The fifth crossing mission has been completed. Before he should leave this world, he will have a period of relaxation. He hopes that period of time can be longer and longer, and it is best to age slowly like last time.

It’s best not to be like the last world, the parting is too sudden, there was no chance to say goodbye, and it’s too late to move in.

Tomorrow is a good day, for Chen Shi personally, it is important and memorable. In order to spend it happily, he urgently needs to buy something.

Chen Shi asked Huang Dan to wait outside, and he went into the shop alone.

Huang Dan put one hand on the handle of the suitcase, and held the mobile phone in the other hand to call home, “I’m here, um, I’ve met Chen Shi, he came to pick me up at the station, I know, I’ll listen to Chen Shi, No trouble, okay, bye.”

After hanging up the phone, Huang Dan saw a boy of about the same age come out of the store, blushing like a monkey’s butt. That expression seemed flustered and embarrassing. He was afraid of being recognized, so he ran away nervously clutching the small box in his pocket.

Huang Dan frowned, is it embarrassing? Speaking of which, in the previous few worlds, he didn’t seem to have bought it once, not for his own use, so he didn’t worry about it.

After a while, Chen Shi came out of the store, walking lazily, without any embarrassment or unnaturalness.

Huang Dan saw that he was carrying a small black bag in his hand, “Have you got it?”

Chen Shi opened the youngster’s backpack and stuffed the small bag into it, “If I don’t buy it, can I come out? Damn, it’s the first time I entered that kind of store, the door to a new world just opened, there are all kinds of weird things, I really enjoy it.”

He pulled the zipper, “Let’s go honey, I’ll take you to our new home.”

Huang Dan asked Chen Shi what brand it was, and he said it was Durex, more than thirty per box, and according to the shop owner, it was very good and smelled good.

“It said there were eighteen in a box. I counted and estimated that it would be used up in less than a week, so I bought three boxes. The boss saw that I was so sincere, and he was also very sincere, so he cleared off the change for me.”

Chen Shi lowered his voice and smiled in the youngster’s ear, “It’s five hours, twenty-two minutes and thirty-six seconds before twelve o’clock in the evening, and I can’t wait.”

Huang Dan tugged at his arm, “This alone won’t do.”

Chen Shi was taken aback, “What else do you want?”

He stopped, turned sideways to look at the youngster, and smirked, “Zhang Shuran, your thinking is too avant-garde, you should have told me earlier, there are many gadgets in the store, just wait, I will go in and pick some suitable for you, you will be satisfied.”

Huang Dan was speechless for a few seconds, “I’m a man.”

Chen Shi frowned, and his thin lips were pursed, as if he had encountered something perplexing.

Huang Dan rubbed his temples, took Chen Shi to an Internet cafe not far ahead, and searched the Internet for a well-known domestic action movie with a relatively exciting plot for him to watch.

Although it wasn’t high-definition, the clarity was okay. The earphones were hung on Chen Shi’s ears, and Huang Dan didn’t listen to the sound effects, but just looked at the picture with his head propped up.

Chen Shi looked at it for a few minutes, and the heat rushed to his face, and his eyes were red. He closed the page with the mouse, grabbed the youngster’s hand and left, “Don’t watch it!”

Damn, watch it more, and he’s about to pee his pants.

After leaving the Internet cafe, Chen Shi was still holding the youngster’s hand, he was panting, his hard chest under the white T-shirt kept heaving, a drop of sweat slipped from his brow, and when it rolled to his mouth, he stuck out his tongue and swipe it, “Wait for me here.”

After speaking, he ran to the same store just before.

Huang Dan guessed maybe Chen Shi would take a while to buy something good, so he walked around with his suitcase, bought two wife cakes, a bag of snacks, and water, and made a note of the Anhui restaurant he was interested in along the way.

In the hot summer season, night falls slowly, office workers get off work intermittently, and the sky is still bright, pulling people’s tired nerve endings.

Huang Dan returned to his original spot, waiting for Chen Shi idly.

When Chen Shi came out this time, he still had the black bag in his hand, which was twice the size, and his face was almost close to the monkey’s butt.

Huang Dan couldn’t help wondering what he had bought.

When the youngster looked over, Chen Shi coughed, and subconsciously stuffed the bag in his backpack like the previous time, “Don’t worry, I’ve bought everything that should be bought. The boss is very enthusiastic and gave me a small box, and several DVDs.He told me to go back and bring you to watch together.”

Huang Dan said, “There is no DVD player.”

Chen Shi said there is, he was holding the suitcase with one hand and putting the other hand in his pocket, with a smile in his eyes, “When I came, my Jiu drove me here and brought a lot of things. My mother said that I moved the whole house here. I thought to myself, because my wife is here.”

Huang Dan，“……”

The two of them went to the bus stop to take the bus, but they didn’t have a seat, so when they got up, they were flanked by front and back.

It’s okay in winter, but in summer, no matter whether there is air conditioning in the bus or not, it’s like a larger smell collection box, with all kinds of smells floating around, and it will make people feel uncomfortable even if they don’t get motion sickness.

Standing next to Huang Dan was a man prone to sweating, and he was dripping with sweat when he came up. The other party’s sweaty arm rubbed against him from time to time, his brows frowned, and before he could react, he was pulled to the front by a hand.

Chen Shi stood behind Huang Dan, the two of them were very close, as the bus turned a corner, bumping against him, he was the one who was unlucky.

Before getting out of the bus, Chen Shi took off the backpack on Huang Dan’s back and blocked it in front of him. His face was tense and expressionless, and he looked very fierce, which made several girls who looked at him feel scared.

In this extremely noisy street, no one knew that the tall and handsome young man had a gun behind the backpack.

If someone accidentally saw the gun, there would be commotion on the street, and the scene would inevitably be chaotic and difficult to end.

Huang Dan cried all the way and followed Chen Shi to their residence, which was their new home. It was much better than the house they had rented at the west gate of the Agricultural University. It had two bedrooms and one living room, complete with sofas, tables and chairs, and an old refrigerator which must be used a lot in summer.

As soon as the door was closed, Chen Shi threw his backpack on the table. He pulled out a stool, crossed his legs and sat on it. He pointed a gun at the youngster in the living room, restraining the urge to shoot him.

Huang Dan asked where the basin was, “I’m going to wash my face, my hands are also dirty.”

Chen Shi took out the cigarette case, his Adam’s apple rolled, “In the bathroom, hurry up, I’m dying.”

Huang Dan went to wash his hands and face, and give a head to Chen Shi when he came out.

Just finished smoking a cigarette, Chen Shi snuffed out the butt of the cigarette and threw it into the trash, picked up the youngster who was squatting on the ground, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumb, “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook it for you.”

Huang Dan said, “I want to eat meat.”

Chen Shi kissed him on the face a few times, “Go to the room and sleep for a while, I’ll call you when the meal is ready.”

Huang Dan went to rinse his mouth, pushed open the door of the room and threw himself into the quilt, he turned over and slowly fell asleep.

Chen Shi bought the ingredients in the morning, and cleaned the rice before going out to pick up people. He cooked rice swiftly, chopped and stir-fried vegetables, and the corners of his mouth were always raised. When he thinks that starting tomorrow, he will be able to eat the other person, and he is in such a good mood that he will fly.

Huang Dan was awakened by his kiss, he pushed away the person on his body, “Where’s the food?”

Chen Shi bent down again and moved closer, holding the back of the youngster’s head with one hand, pressing it against his lips, and rubbing against the tip of his nose, “It’s on the table, let me kiss for a while.”

Huang Dan lay down and let him kiss, not letting go of his mouth, “I’m hungry, I’ll kiss when I’m full.”

Chen Shi laughed muffledly, buried his face in the youngster’s neck, and breathed in his scent greedily, “Zhang Shuran, I like you so much.”

Huang Dan said, “Me too.”

At the dinner table, Chen Shi said while serving tomato and egg soup, and clicked his tongue twice, “You haven’t used your hand for a long time, and give me head every time, you are very satisfied with me growing up, right? Were you looking forward to going down all along? “

Huang Dan said, “No, I just think that giving you head will be faster.”

Chen Shi’s face twitched, and he put the bowl of soup in front of the youngster, “Zhang Shuran, can’t you say something I like to hear?”

Huang Dan said, “If I say so, I won’t be able to eat, and you will make me kiss you.”

Chen Shi leaned on the back of the chair, put one arm on the youngster’s waist, and stated a fact to him, “Even if you don’t tell me, you still have to kiss me.”

Huang Dan didn’t bother to answer, he lowered his head to drink the soup, it wasn’t hot.

Chen Shi clicked on a cigarette and looked embarrassed, “Tomorrow is your birthday, and I didn’t prepare a birthday present for you.”

Huang Dan said, “No need.”

Chen Shi pretended to be thinking, “Well, I’ll give myself to you.”

When Huang Dan heard the words, he leaned back a little, and moved his eyes back.

Chen Shi shivered, and the smoke around his mouth trembled, “Zhang Shuran, what are you thinking?”

Huang Dan said, “The ass is very perky, I like it very much.”

Chen Shi raised one eyebrow, “And then?”

Huang Dan picked up the leftover food in the bowl, vaguely saying that there was nothing more.

Chen Shi didn’t believe it, he remembered that time at the Internet cafe all night, this kid just stared at his ass, there must be some small thought in his mind, “Fuck, you don’t want to give me a carrot while I’m asleep, do you? “

Huang Dan，“……”

Chen Shi took a puff of a cigarette and thought seriously, “When I was painting before, did you secretly touch my ass at night? Be lenient when confessing, and be strict when resisting. Zhang Shuran, you can think about it and then answer.”

Huang Dan didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

Chen Shi squeezed the youngster’s chin and kissed it, “Do you know that I haven’t seen you for a month or two, and I talk to your photo every day. It’s okay to be an idiot, but I’m still a poor idiot.”

Huang Dan swallowed the food in his mouth, “You can tell me about it later.”

Chen Shi flicked the cigarette ash on the table, he curled the corners of his lips, yes, that would be great, “Find a time to take another set of photo stickers, and put the bigger ones in the photo frame.”

Huang Dan said, “Okay.”

Chen Shi kicked him with his foot under the table, “Go wash the dishes.”

Huang Dan stood up, put his own bowl on top of Chen Shi’s bowl, and took two chopsticks to the kitchen together. He came back and collected the dishes, “What should I do with the leftover gourd fried meat?”

Chen Shi nuzzled, “Put it in the refrigerator.”

Huang Dan followed suit, dumped all the leftover vegetable dregs into the trash can, and it looked decent.

Chen Shi didn’t know what was wrong with him, he couldn’t see this person doing things, he felt uncomfortable when he saw it, he pinched his cigarette and walked into the kitchen after taking a few puffs, “Forget it, let me do it, go to the living room to digest the food, don’t lie down.”

Huang Dan stood in front of the TV and watched the news broadcast, “Chen Shi, there is a lemon in my bag, cut two slices and put them in a cup.”

Chen Shi’s voice came from the kitchen, “Wait!”

Before the news broadcast ended, Chen Shi cleaned up the kitchen, took a glass of lemonade and handed it to Huang Dan, “I see that there are quite a few lemons in your bag, there are seven or eight, where did they come from?”

Huang Dan said, “My mother put it in my bag and said it was brought by a friend from another place. Do you want to drink it?”

Chen Shi tasted it, and it dripped sourly, “It’s so bad to drink.”

Huang Dan didn’t think so, he took a sip slowly, the faint sour smell stimulated his taste buds, and then transmitted to the cerebral cortex, his spirit improved a lot.

Chen Shi squinted his eyes. The youngster sitting deep on the sofa was lazy and casual, and he had something called nobility on his body, like a young master with a wealthy life. He rubbed his forehead and felt that he was probably thinking too much. So he did push-ups in the living room.

After the news broadcast, there was an advertisement, a hundred flowers blossomed, which was a turnoff, and when the patience was almost exhausted, the soap opera started.

Huang Dan and Chen Shi finished watching the two episodes of the TV series, went back to the room, washed up and prepared to go to bed.

Chen Shi sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at the things he bought in the evening. He raised his head and shouted in the direction of the bathroom, “Zhang Shuran, did you fall into the toilet?”

There was a sound of splashing water inside, and Huang Dan came out after washing his hands. Seeing a few things on the bed, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Chen Shi called the youngster over and read him the contents of the manual, but found that the other party didn’t respond at all, at least he should have blush, right? “Zhang Shuran, if you’re embarrassed, you can show it. Gege won’t laugh at you.”

Huang Dan looked at him strangely, “What’s the point, sleeping is just like eating, it’s a very common thing.”

Chen Shi admired him, he put away things, his toes clamped a piece of flesh on the youngster’s leg, his strength was very light, “Seriously, with you, I don’t have to worry about being bored in this life, your cuteness keeps refreshing, amazing.”

Huang Dan ignored Chen Shi’s nagging, he shook off the blanket and covered them, “Go to sleep.”

Chen Shi’s eyes were wide open, and he didn’t feel sleepy at all. He brushed his hair angrily, “Do you think I can fall asleep?”

Huang Dan said, “Replenish energy and store energy.”

After Chen Shi thought about it, it made some sense. He closed his eyes and woke up after a while. There was no way, no way at all.

People around him have fallen asleep.

Chen Shi propped himself up, pinched the youngster’s nose, touched his face, kissed him, and whispered in his ear, “Zhang Shuran, I like you.”

Huang Dan, “Umm.”

Chen Shi yelled a few more times, and got a response for all. It felt so good, unlike the photo stickers, yelled at a hundred times or a thousand times, and they would not even answer.

Just after zero o’clock, Huang Dan woke up in pain, his mouth was bitten, he took a breath, and heard Chen Shi’s excited voice, “Eighteen-year-old Zhang Shuran, good evening.”

Huang Dan said, “Good evening.”

Chen Shi bit him hard on purpose, to let him remember what happened in the first minute when he was eighteen, and who was by his side.

Huang Dan cried when he was kissed, “It hurts.”

Chen Shi didn’t let go, and continued to kiss him, both of them had a fishy and sweet taste in their mouths.

Huang Dan cried miserably.

Chen Shi patted his back, stroked his hair, and said dumbfoundedly, “I just bit your mouth, and you have been crying for so long, Zhang Shuran, can you play happily with Gege, I, later?”

Huang Dan covered his mouth, tears streaming down his face.

No matter how long he cried, Chen Shi hugged him for as long as he could, and his coaxing words were dry.

“Okay, that’s fine.”

Huang Dan’s pain was much more blurred. He threw away the soaked tissue and lay down on the bed, burying his face in the cold pillow. It was a posture of absolute trust.

Chen Shi jumped out of bed and jumped up again. He didn’t sleep, but he still had energy all over his body. He was just young, and his blood was full of vigor, and the blood in his bones was very hot. “How many times do you want?”

Huang Dan stretched out his hand, “Two times.”

Chen Shi agreed, but then gave him a multiple.

Later, Huang Dan really failed, and cried that he was going to die. As soon as Chen Shi heard that word, the heat from his body disappeared in an instant.

If Huang Dan was not still panting, Chen Shi would hug him and howl.

Don’t blame Chen Shi, for the first time in 20 years, when facing someone he likes, he is inexperienced and extremely longing, he will get agitated, uncontrollably rude, crazy, desperately thinking about possessing a little more, it will inevitably hurt people.

It was almost dawn, and half of Chen Shi’s body was numb, but he didn’t push the person in his arms away. He turned his body slightly, kissed the corner of the youngster’s broken mouth, and closed his eyelids in satisfaction.

Huang Dan woke up at noon, his eyes were so swollen that he couldn’t see anyone, and he didn’t get out of bed, just lying on his stomach under the blanket. He heard Chen Shi talking over the phone in the living room, and fell asleep again in a daze.

Chen Shi finished the call and went into the room, looking at the youngster on the bed, he smiled a little silly, and just remembered the scene of last night, he became hard.

“Oh shit!”

Chen Shi dropped his phone and went to take a cold shower.

Huang Dan was woken up by the sound of water, his back hurts, he can’t move as much as he can, “Chen Shi.”

Chen Shi in the bathroom hurried out, his body covered in water, and he didn’t bother to wipe it off, “Are you awake? Are you hungry? There’s food in the kitchen, I’ll heat it up for you, fuck, wait a minute, I’m going to get a towel.”

When Huang Dan ate a bowl of porridge and kneaded his waist, it was already half an hour later.

Chen Shi stood at the closet, not knowing what he was doing. It took him a long time to turn around and hand over the thing wrapped in sky blue wrapping paper, “Here, it’s a birthday present for you.”

Huang Dan said, “Weren’t you unprepared?”

Sitting by the bed, Chen Shi smoothed the slightly messy hair on the youngster’s forehead, “I was lying to you.”

“……”

Huang Dan touched the thing in his hand, doubting what it was, his eyelids trembled, he unwrapped the wrapping paper, and saw the wishing bottle filled with colorful stars.

Chen Shi rubbed the youngster’s earlobe, and reminded, “What are you doing in a daze, the heroine in the movie has excitedly embraced the hero and kissed him passionately.”

As he spoke, he brought his mouth closer, “Come on.”

Huang Dan just kissed and left, he asked, “How many?”

Chen Shi was very dissatisfied. He dragged the youngster under his nose, kissed more intensely than in the movie, and smacked his lips unsatisfactorily, “Three thousand three hundred and forty-four, damn it, the skin on my finger is almost torn.”

Huang Dan was stunned, he didn’t know whether it was because of the string of numbers, or because these stars were folded by Chen Shi himself, his memory was flipping rapidly.

Chen Shi bumped into his shoulder, “What are you thinking?”

Huang Dan said, “Did you make a wish when you folded the stars?”

Chen Shi’s eyes flickered, it moved to the side, and then moved back, “What wish should I make, and you should make the wish.”

Huang Dan didn’t poke him, “Where’s the cake, isn’t there?”

Chen Shi put the wrapping paper away in the trash, “Stored it in the refrigerator, eat it at night.”

Huang Dan stopped talking, just looked at the wishing bottle in a daze.

Chen Shi didn’t like the youngster who was hiding his thoughts. He teased, “You didn’t cry. I thought you would be too touched, wanted to hold me and cry. I even prepared a pack of tissues for you.”

Huang Dan said, “Next year I will want this again.”

Chen Shi laughed, eyes full of doting, “Okay, I’ll fold a big bottle for you every year from now on.”

The wishing bottle was placed on the bedside table.

Huang Dan started to work part-time with Chen Shi in the restaurant. His appearance was a bit poor, but he looked very obedient, and he was quiet, not noisy, and got along very well with his colleagues.

During the period, Huang Dan went back to school, got his grades, filled out his volunteers, and did everything that should be done. The original owner’s father went to get the notice and called him to come back, saying that the family wanted to invite relatives to dinner.

Chen Shi’s family also wanted to do that, “My mother said that this meal is a must, and I must receive the gift money given before.”

Huang Dan said, “One idea.”

The two of them went back to their respective homes to give face to their families.

The money from the part-time job in the restaurant was not enough for the tuition fees, so Huang Dan took out all without leaving a dime. The original owner’s parents have gone from disbelief to acceptance of reality. The son is sensible, admitted to college, and became the first college student in the village. To bring honor to the family, but also know how to work to make money.

People outside are envious and jealous of their son’s future, and they will talk about it when they meet each other, and their mouths are almost broken.

The weather in September is still very hot, and the reporting time of freshmen is almost concentrated between the 1st and the 10th.

Chen Shi arrived at the university early, but he didn’t go in, so he stood at the gate against the sun.

Senior Jie came over, “Junior di, which college are you from, do you need help?”

Chen Shi said no need, “I’m waiting for someone.”

The senior Jie walked away wisely, and told other friends that the male god in the freshmen appeared, and it was above expectation.

Chen Shi’s mouth was dry, he was in good health, otherwise he would be too tired to stay under the sun for such a long time, and would run away early.

Huang Dan got out of the car and followed the other students to the school gate. He saw the person standing there from a distance. When the person saw him, he rushed over immediately.

Chen Shi hugged him tightly, “Why did you come here?”

Huang Dan said that the train was late, and he looked at Chen Shi’s sweaty brows, “Why didn’t you go inside?”

Chen Shi glanced at him, “Don’t I want to go with you on the first step of entering university? How about it, don’t you think it’s very romantic?”

Huang Dan nodded, “Umm.”

Chen Shi grinned, and the girls around him blushed.

Huang Dan followed Chen Shi through the registration process, and took the daily necessities to the dormitory.

They were the first to arrive, hesitating between the upper and lower bunks, or head to head, and finally chose the two upper berths, so they could get together and kiss after the lights were turned off.

The time of college has begun.

The other two boys in the dormitory were both locals, and they would go home after a holiday, Chen Shi was secretly happy.

Regardless of the number of stick figures, Huang Dan would cry to death every time, and finally passed out from crying, and continued to cry when he woke up.

Chen Shi has experience, but his control ability is very poor, and he will never get better. Huang Dan knows that he has always been like that.

When taking off the pillowcase, Chen Shi let out a sigh, with a satisfied expression on his face, “Others do it once, they just need a cover, we do it once, and you cry like a flood, the smell is still salty. The water from the sheets, pillows and quilts can be used for cooking for a few days.”

Huang Dan cried hoarsely, “Others do it once, it is once, you do it once, it is several times.”

Chen Shi squinted, “At the time of painting, you said that I would grow up, but now I have grown up, which is exactly what you want, right?”

Huang Dan，“……”

Chen Shi, who has grown up, has terrible needs, and often Huang Dan will cry and beg for mercy.

The other two people in the dormitory only knew that Chen Shi and Huang Dan had a very good relationship. How good was it? When it was cold, the two of them could squeeze into one bed.

Can two people sleep in such a narrow bed, can they turn over? They all felt uncomfortable watching.

The party concerned didn’t feel uncomfortable and slept together every day.

Sometimes when Huang Dan took a shower in the bathroom of the dormitory, Chen Shi would come in, close the door skillfully, and turn on the water to the maximum.

No one has heard crying in the dormitory next door, otherwise the matter will be serious.

After Chen Shi joined the student union, he was as busy as a spinning top. When people asked him why he worked so hard, he said he wanted to support his family.

After becoming the president, Chen Shi was even busier, because he had found a job, and he didn’t give up on either side.

Huang Dan lived a very leisurely life. His college life in the real world was the same as that of Chen Shi, so this time he was very leisurely. He did not participate in the student union and was indifferent to any activities.

One day, on a whim, Huang Dan went to the University Student Activity Center. Instead of going upstairs to find someone, he watched the members of the hip-hop troupe practice in one of the halls on the first floor.

Chen Shi had a meeting with the members of the student union on the third floor, and he didn’t know if it was telepathy, but he felt that his wife had come.

For the next ten minutes, Chen Shi was absent-minded. Usually, when the meeting was over, he chatted with a few secretaries, but this time he left as soon as he was done, and he was the first one to leave.

“Why is the president so anxious?”

“He was missing his girlfriend. I found that he checked his phone many times. It can’t be wrong.”

“The president has a girlfriend? I haven’t heard of it.”

“It’s a secret. It’s probably because the girl is under a lot of pressure. She doesn’t want to be judged, and pointed out by people and it is not a fart anymore.”

“Think about it, if the president brings that girl to school, how many girls will lose their love.”

While the members of the student union were still discussing, their President Chen had already found his wife, and took him to dinner with him openly.

In the first semester of his senior year, Huang Dan had sex with Chen Shi, and he fainted. When he woke up, he found Chen Shi lying beside him, without a heartbeat.

At that moment, Huang Dan’s fingers felt cold.

After a few seconds, Chen Shi opened his eyes, “What’s wrong?”

Huang Dan’s Adam’s apple rolled, and he put his hand on his chest, and there was a thumping sound, “It’s nothing.”

Chen Shi didn’t think much, and continued to sleep with his arms around him.

Huang Dan couldn’t fall asleep anyway.

Why can normal people see ghosts? As well as the jade in his neck, many things were floating in Huang Dan’s mind, his thoughts became clearer, guessing a certain possibility, his fingers trembled.

Huang Dan remembered that Mr. System had told him before he left that the existence of area 120 is that everyone has their own destiny, and everyone has their own natal chart. He told him not to try to change anyone’s natal chart.

Did he know that he wanted to change Chen Shi’s life?

Huang Dan thought, so what if he knows, he wants to change, but he doesn’t know how.

Mr. Lu is the administrator of this district and will definitely prevent anything that violates the rules from happening.

Even so, Huang Dan began to ask, “Mr. Lu, who can see ghosts?”

System, “People who are dying.”

Huang Dan’s heart sank, this answer almost turned his guess into reality, he only asked one question, no matter how many doubts he had later, he didn’t ask.

Pointless.

Chen Shi is dying, since when did it start? Huang Dan supported his forehead, it started from the time he saw his grandfather.

Huang Dan started to read books and search online.

The more information he found, the greater the fear in his heart, as if a pair of invisible hands were tearing, and the powerlessness was so strong that he couldn’t sleep or eat.

Don’t know how Shen Liang spent the two days when he left, and whether he would be like him, helpless, anxious, and extremely disturbed.

Not long after, Chen Shi had that situation again.

Huang Dan was helpless, he found an excuse to go home and went to the hospital to see Qi Fang’s father, who woke up two years ago, but couldn’t speak well.

Huang Dan came before, and Qi Fang’s father remembered him.

Huang Dan peeled an apple for the middle-aged man, explained his intentions by chatting, and asked about Qi Fang.

A few days later, after Qi Fang got off work, he saw a youngster outside the building. The familiarity made him frown, and he recognized the person within a minute.

It is said that time is a pig-killing knife, but when dealing with some people, when the knife goes down, it is so gentle that it is outrageous.

Huang Dan took the initiative to say hello, “Long time no see.”

Qi Fang touched his face, “Zhang Shuran, it’s been so long since I saw you, I shaved my beard, can you recognize me too?”

Huang Dan looked at Qi Fang in front of him, he was handsome, upright, mature and introverted, he was completely different from Qi Fang who was devoured by hatred at that time and lost control to the point of killing him, “You don’t have a beard, just like your Ge. “

Qi Fang’s expression didn’t change, he raised his arm and put it on Huang Dan’s shoulder, “You’d have better find me if you have something to do, if you don’t have anything to do, and just come here to mention my Ge, Zhang Shuran, you’re going to die from drinking at my place tonight. “

After a while, Huang Dan and Qi Fang sat in the coffee shop.

Huang Dan took a sip of coffee, “I came to you to ask, from where did you know how to summon your Ge’s soul back then.”

Qi Fang leaned back, crossed his legs and said, “Did something happen to Chen Shi?”

Huang Dan’s eyelids twitched, and the coffee in his hand was returned to its original place, “What do you know?”

Qi Fang said, “I know more than you.”

Huang Dan waits for the next sentence.

Qi Fang’s tone was neither fast nor slow, probably it was someone else’s business and had nothing to do with him, so he was very calm, “My Ge told me that Chen Shi was a dying person with a lot of yin, so some ghosts would come closer to him.”

“Back then, my Ge still relied on him to appear in his original body, but it only lasted for a year.”

Huang Dan raised his eyes, “A dying person?”

Qi Fang nodded, “Yes, he should have died a long time ago, but his life was continued by something.”

Huang Dan pulled out the red rope around his neck, “This one?”

Qi Fang looked at the jade, shook his head after a long while and said, “Although I have been exposed to things in the Yin and Yang worlds for my Ge’s sake, I can’t recognise this jade. I can only say that this jade is not simple.”

Huang Dan stuffed the jade back into his collar, “You haven’t told me where you got the method of calling back souls.”

Qi Fang didn’t say anything.

Huang Dan said, “Is it to exchange lives for lives?”

Qi Fang’s forehead twitched, and his eyes were also sharp, trying to dispel the youngster’s crazy and wrong thoughts, “Zhang Shuran, don’t worry about it, it’s pointless, Chen Shi has lived to this day, he has made money, you understand what I mean. “

Huang Dan said, “He is about to graduate from university, and his life is just beginning.”

Qi Fang stirred the coffee with a spoon, picked it up and took a sip, “So what? When my Ge had an accident, he had already received a notice from a single college. He passed the exams in three colleges with high scores. Yes, the unified entrance exam admissions score was the first in the country, his humanities class scores were in the top ten in the class, the college admission was stable, and the result? Life ended like this.”

“Zhang Shuran, everyone has their own destiny, really, try to believe it.”

Huang Dan knew that he had to believe it, but he didn’t want to face it. He repeated that sentence, if exchanging his life could change Chen Shi’s natal chart, he would.

Qi Fang saw the youngster’s determination in his eyes, “It can’t be changed.”

The corners of Huang Dan’s lips twitched, “There is always a way, you tell me, I am willing to try.”

Qi Fang said, “I don’t know anything.”

Huang Dan stared at him, “You don’t want to say it.”

Qi Fang met the youngster’s gaze, “There’s nothing to say, Zhang Shuran, I still say that, everyone has their own destiny, that’s the thing, it can’t be false.”

He smiled. He was clearly only in his twenties. At the right time, there were vicissitudes in his eyes, “Look at me, after convincing myself that it is not true, wouldn’t it be living like a dog? You can do it too.”

Huang Dan shook his head, “I can’t, it’s too lonely to be alone.”

He experienced it the first time he traveled through it, he experienced it, although he didn’t experience it again in the next few times, but that kind of loneliness has been deeply rooted in his soul, and he doesn’t like it very much.

Qi Fang said, “Think about it, Chen Shi is just a passer-by in your life, and sooner or later you will get married and have children.”

Huang Dan said, “I won’t get married and have children.”

Qi Fang was like hearing a big joke, “Crap, you are an only child, if you don’t get married, can your family let you get away with it?”

Huang Dan said, “I can’t accept others.”

Qi Fang was stunned, and he laughed half aloud, “I really don’t understand. Is the relationship between men and men different from the relationship between men and women? People are gone, what else is good there?”

“You can search online, don’t say that you are not married yet, it is a husband and wife, one party has an accident and is gone, and the other party just starts over as usual, days go by with great variety.”

Huang Dan said, “That’s someone else’s story, not mine.”

Qi Fang saw the youngster’s displeasure, “Okay, you want me to tell you, but you’re not happy if I tell you, you’re not as interesting as you used to be.”

If this topic continues, the coffee on the table will be spilled.

Huang Dan changed the subject, “Shen Liang transferred your Ge’s resentment towards him to that girl, do you know what he did?”

Qi Fang showed a strange expression, “Who told you?”

Huang Dan said, “No one has told me, I guess, it has something to do with the drawing board?”

“The people your Ge saved back then were Xia Wei, Lin Mao, and Shen Liang. Zhou Jiaojiao just stood by and it had nothing to do with that girl.”

Qi Fang looked at the street market outside the window, he smiled and said, “You will never know how terrible it is for a person to be selfish.”

After a pause for a few moments, the voice of Qi Fang sounded again, “Do you still remember that I was a model for you once?”

Huang Dan said he remembered.

“That night I realized that the girls in No. 1 Middle School like Shen Liang. With Shen Liang’s selfish nature, he will definitely hurt her. I thought she is the same age as my Ge when the accident happened, and the paintings are very similar to my Ge. I did a ridiculous thing when I was painted.”

Qi Fang said, “I called the girl from the public phone and told her about the reservoir. I wanted her to see Shen Liang’s character clearly and stay away from him. Guess what the other party said?”

“She said, it was the youngman who jumped into the water by himself, and no one forced him, and she said it has nothing to do with Shen Liang. The tone of black and white was no different from that of Shen Liang, Xia Wei, and Lin Mao back then. I hung up the phone on the spot and retched.”

Huang Dan took a breath.

He learned from Zhou Jiaojiao that there was no one around the reservoir.

If it wasn’t for Qi Fang’s Gege, Shen Liang and the three of them would have died at that time. In fact, they could have continued to live, as did Qi Fang’s Gege as well, only just because of a mistake.

With Qi Fang’s family background, his Gege doesn’t have a mobile phone and can’t call someone. The only way to save someone is to go down by himself. The other party didn’t hesitate at that time.

Because people have the instinct of self-preservation, once they hesitate, they will be timid, and all those things that have not been considered will be in front of them, and the final choice will be different.

Qi Fang clicked his tongue, and he shook his head, “Look, it’s not a family, don’t enter a family, no, that girl hasn’t entered Shen Liang’s house yet, she is the stupidest person I have ever seen, she doesn’t deserve a sympathy at all.”

Huang Dan listened, and didn’t take another sip of coffee, because what he heard later made him sick to his stomach.

Qi Fang said that the girl was not only stupid, but also smart. She suspected that Xia Wei and Lin Mao’s death was the work of a ghost, and she went to great lengths to find an expert to do it just for Shen Liang. People must let the ghosts fly away, and they will never be reborn forever.

Of course it didn’t work out.

The girl used the second method, she went to find Shen Liang, he could find someone to be scapegoat.

Shen Liang asked who to look for, the girl said whoever, anyone in the studio is fine.

She never thought that Shen Liang was looking for her.

Because at that time, Shen Liang came back from missing for a few days, and found the same method, and had already locked his target on that girl.

When the girl told him about it, he didn’t change his mind.

Huang Dan fell into silence after listening.

Qi Fang took a sip of coffee and didn’t mind if it was cold, “I’ve thought about it for a few times, but I haven’t figured out how a person can be so selfish. I can only say that the human heart is the darkest thing in the world. Of course, it can also be the purest and most sincere.”

Huang Dan also drank cold coffee, feeling uncomfortable in his stomach, “Is there really no way?”

Qi Fang said, “No, don’t be too whimsical. If I were you, I would spend the remaining time with him while he is still there.”

Huang Dan has been sitting there, his purpose of coming has not been achieved, and it is not even clear when Chen Shi will leave.

It was already late when Huang Dan returned, and he saw a familiar figure, unbuttoned, looking anxiously for something, and when he found him, he ran over immediately.

Chen Shi was panting, and the hand that grabbed the youngster was shaking with great force, “Damn it, where did you go?”

Huang Dan endured the pain, “Went for a walk.”

Chen Shi stared at him, and said abruptly, “Zhang Shuran, do you know everything?”

Huang Dan didn’t deny it either, “Yes.”

Chen Shi’s breathing was chaotic, he was still staring at the person in front of him, gasping for breath, but unable to speak.

When they got home, Huang Dan poured Chen Shi a glass of water, “You shouldn’t have given me the jade.”

Chen Shi laughed out loud when he heard the words, “Stupid you, if no jade, can you still accompany me through four years of college?”

Huang Dan wanted to say that he was different from the dead, his soul was complete, not death, but rebirth, but he couldn’t say.

Chen Shi kissed the lifeline in the palm of the youngster’s hand, “Besides, even if I don’t give you the jade, I won’t live long. At thirty, I can only live until thirty.”

Huang Dan frowned, “Why?”

Chen Shi sat beside him, “Didn’t I tell you that I was sick more than ten years ago, and when I woke up, I saw grandpa sitting on my bedside? Grandpa told me then, he said my life was snatched from under the eyes of God, and when God finds out, he will take my life back.”

Huang Dan’s tone was firm, “You know you’re leaving, so you’re working hard to make money?”

Chen Shi raised his eyebrows, “You discvered all of this.”

He scratched at the youngster’s finger, “I always think, what will you do when I’m gone? Can you take care of yourself? I think too much. I’m afraid you forget to turn off the gas when cooking, and you will be in danger. I’m also afraid that if you are drying the quilt on the balcony and leaning out unconsciously, without me pulling you back, if you have any accident……”

Huang Dan pursed his lips and didn’t speak.

Chen Shi held the youngster’s cheeks, kissed him once and for all, and laughed in a hoarse voice, “Zhang Shuran, what would you do without me?”

Huang Dan hugged him.

Neither of them said a word again.

Life is still like this, Huang Dan and Chen Shi go to work during the day, come back at night to cook together, make love, say good night, day after day.

When they are not working, they are like ordinary couples, either going out to watch movies, shopping in the supermarket, or staying at home, whatever they get tired of.

After graduation, Huang Dan and Chen Shi didn’t join the same company, and they worked in a science and technology park, so they could have lunch together, and come out to meet each other if they wanted to, which was very convenient.

Both of them are hot spots in the company, and colleagues would push single dogs towards them, but unfortunately both sides ended in failure.

Year by year, Huang Dan counted in his heart, and it was the tenth year of their acquaintance, and there were ten wishing bottles at home.

Some things don’t happen if you don’t worry about them.

Huang Dan got up to drink water on a very ordinary night. He touched the light on the bedside table and turned on it. When he found that the man beside him didn’t respond, his eyelids trembled.

In normal times, before the light was turned on, the man’s hand on Huang Dan’s waist tightened.

Huang Dan turned his head and put his ear to the man’s chest. His whole body was stiff, and he just lay there until dawn.

Chen Shi’s breathing stopped, as did his heartbeat, and he never recovered this time.

After dawn, Huang Dan left the man’s chest. He went to brush his teeth and wash his face, but suddenly he squatted down and grabbed his heart, unable to breathe due to the pain.

In the morning, Huang Dan first called Chen Shi’s parents, and then called the company to ask for leave. After finishing these two things, he went to the closet to get clothes for Chen Shi to put on, “I thought we could finish this year.”

This was the first sentence Huang Dan said to Chen Shi after his accident. His voice was hoarse and his eyes were red, “The Chinese New Year will be in a few months. I won’t go home this year. I will stay here. You accompany me.”

Chen Shi was cremated, he said it himself.

Huang Dan kept crying at his funeral, and the tears never stopped.

Not to mention the original owner’s parents, even Chen Shi’s parents couldn’t bear to watch, “Shuran, he’s gone, don’t be too sad.”

It is probably very rare for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person and comfort others.

Huang Dan is not sad, but distressed.

In the first year of work, Huang Dan went on a business trip with a few colleagues and didn’t come back for three days. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Chen Shi with an unshaven beard and bloodshot eyes.

At that time, Chen Shi said in a voice that was about to cry, Zhang Shuran, I will follow you on business trips in the future, and you went to places I couldn’t see, it was too fucking hard.

So Huang Dan had a small bottle around his neck, which contained Chen Shi’s ashes, and he took him with him wherever he went.

The people around him are no longer there, and things have changed a lot.

When Huang Dan came back from work, there was no steaming food, no eager kisses, warm hugs, and no hot eyes.

But he talked too much.

As long as Huang Dan is at home, he can talk, cook, wash clothes and mop the floor, tidy up the study, spread the quilt, and handle work. No matter what he is doing, he will talk to himself, although he has not responded or stopped.

Because Chen Shi is here, he can feel it.

Although Huang Dan couldn’t see Chen Shi, it was good that the other party could see him.

It was getting colder and colder, Huang Dan found the coat in the closet and put it on, he had a hunch that he would leave soon, not to the underworld, but to leave this world.

This is a huge change, after all, the previous few departures were without warning.

Huang Dan buttoned his coat one by one, and straightened his collar, “I’m off to work, will you wait for me at home, or go with me?”

There will be no response, Huang Dan is clear.

Waking up one morning, Huang Dan opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, tears streaming down his face unconsciously.

Chen Shi left.

From that day on, Huang Dan no longer spoke to the air, and no one listened to him. His life was still busy. Before he left, he went to work for an extra day, and he earned an extra day’s money, which was saved for the parents of the two families.

A heavy snow fell silently in H City.

Huang Dan took advantage of the weekend to clean up the house. He was so tired and sweaty that he lay down under the blanket to sleep after taking a shower.

The air conditioner is not turned on, and the bed is cold. It will no longer be like before, when someone goes in early to warm the bed.

Huang Dan’s body was cold, and when the heat from the hot bath subsided, the bed was still cold. After lying down for a while, he found that his fatigue had subsided, so he put on thick pajamas and started the computer.

It was a coincidence that Huang Dan wanted to look for old photos, but found a video by accident.

He sat at the table and watched the video, and the man in the video was also watching him.

Chen Shi was wearing the white shirt and jeans when he met Huang Dan the first time. He was just as handsome as before, with a cigarette in his mouth and a smile in his eyes, but his face was full of unspeakable sadness and reluctance.

“Zhang Shuran, if you are watching this video, I must be gone.”

Huang Dan watched the video without moving.

Chen Shi exhaled a puff of smoke, “What season is it now? Don’t answer, let me guess, is it winter? Is it snowing? I guess it snowed heavily. You are sitting in front of the computer wearing the pajamas I bought for you last year. If my guess is right, give me a kiss.”

The people in the video came up and Huang Dan kissed through the cold screen, he was very sad.

Chen Shi leaned against the back of the sofa chair, and the smoke quickly covered his face, “Idiot, the air conditioner needs to be turned on, without me, it’s very cold in bed.”

Huang Dan said, “The air conditioner is on, but it’s still uncomfortable.”

“Yes, how can the air conditioner compare to me? You can just leave it at that. If you really want what I think, you can sleep with the big bear I bought for you. There are songs I recorded in it. You can pull the bear’s left ear. There it is, it’s all what you like to hear.”

Huang Dan was taken aback, he got up to get the bear beside the bed.

“Hahahahaha Zhang Shuran, you didn’t just find out that this bear can record songs, did you?”

Chen Shi smiled very unkindly, “Tell you, you are stupid, you still don’t listen. I’m not here anymore. I’m really worried that you will be abducted.”

Huang Dan hugged the bear, and in his ears was the man’s soft singing, humming that you are my only one, he pursed his lips, “I’m pretty stupid.”

“It’s okay, no matter how stupid you are, you are still my treasure, and I won’t dislike you.”

Chen Shi took several puffs of cigarettes in a row, and his voice sank, “Zhang Shuran, when I found out that I was going to leave, I felt very conflicted. I wanted to strangle you to death and take you away together, but I also wanted you to live a good life, meet the right person, and live together as a partner, I was afraid that you would not be able to bear it alone.”

Huang Dan recalled that for half a month, something was wrong with Chen Shi, and when he did it, he would drive him to death. The more he cried out in pain, the harder the opponent was, and the angle was even more tricky.

There were several times when Huang Dan woke up and found that his neck hurt a little. It seemed that Chen Shi really had the idea of taking him away, very strongly, but gave up at the last moment.

“Sometimes I’m thinking, although I don’t have the chance to live past thirty, but I met you, I live happily every day, and I still make a lot of money, don’t you think?”

Chen Shi flicked the cigarette ash on the ground, “I’ll sweep it later, I’m lazy now, I just want to talk to you, and I want to talk more, you don’t know, I have a lot of things I want to tell you.”

Huang Dan listened, but the progress bar of the video was getting closer, but the person on the screen didn’t open his mouth.

“Ai, there’s so much I want to say, I don’t know where to start.”

Chen Shi’s eyes were half-closed, “Let’s start with the first time I saw you. At that time, you were wearing a gray T-shirt with a doraemon pattern on your chest, and your pants were denim, like my pants. The color is similar, you came to say hello to me, said hello, and stretched out your hand to me, holding my hand, I pulled my hand away, and you just stood there blankly, I thought you were cute……”

Huang Dan listened to the person in the video talking about that year, and his thoughts were synchronized with the other person. At that time, the messy studio, the wet alley, the heavy snow, and the briquettes piled up into a hill, all the people and things emerged in front of him.

“I’m a selfish person. I knew I was a short-lived ghost, but I still hooked you up. Zhang Shuran, do you hate me? Don’t hate me, because I like you so much. If you hate me, I will be very unhappy.”

Just as Huang Dan was about to say “I don’t hate you”, he heard Chen Shi’s triumphant laugh, “You won’t hate me, you like me, you like me to death, every time you cry for pain, you still hold on to my back tightly and don’t let go, if it is not liking, I will write character Chen upside down.”

“Actually, I didn’t have any expectations for the university. Without you, it doesn’t matter if I can’t get in.”

Chen Shi said, “Without you, I would not work so hard to make money, work hard, live hard, and make myself stronger. Zhang Shuran, I met you at the age of nineteen and left you at the age of twenty-nine. Thank you for ten years.”

Huang Dan listened carefully, his eyes were wet, he raised his head and did not cry.

“The song “Ten Years” is not about our story, but I still like it very much. If you have time, listen to it. Okay, I admit, I am trying my best to make you remember me, Zhang Shuran, I don’t want you to forget me.”

Chen Shi’s voice was choked with sobs, “I’m not only selfish, but also hypocritical. I can’t bear other people possessing you. If I think about it, I’ll die of pain. I’m also afraid that you’ll forget me. If someone mentions it one day, you’ll have to think about it for a long time, and still can’t remember what I look like.”

Huang Dan said, “I will never forget it, don’t be afraid.”

“Ai, you know why I’m afraid of you saying the word “death”. If you die, there will be nothing. This is my destiny, you are different, that piece of jade is really ancestral, it will protect you, with it, you will not get sick or injured, you will be fine.”

Chen Shi became serious, and the resolute lines on his face tightened, “Listen, no matter who wants to look at the jade in the future, don’t let the other person touch it, and don’t take it off, do you hear me? Zhang Shuran, I know you heard it, and you must write it down by heart!”

Huang Dan squeezed his little finger, “Chen Shi, do you want me to live a long life?”

After he finished speaking, the person in the video confirmed his conjecture.

“I hope you live a long life. Don’t be afraid. When I’m gone, I’ll still be with you. It’s just that I’ve changed my identity. I won’t leave you alone.”

Chen Shi laughed in the video, “Zhang Shuran, I will not leave you alone, I will always be with you.”

Huang Dan said, “Liar.”

He pinched his temple vigorously, knowing that it wasn’t Chen Shi’s fault, Chen Shi wanted to be with him more than anyone else, it was fate.

“My wife, didn’t I promise you that I would give you a birthday present every year? One day when I secretly folded the stars while you were not at home, the small tube fell from my hand. At that moment I knew that I had to go, I haven’t folded enough, fuck, do you know how long I’ve been howling in the bathroom?”

Chen Shi in the video had a dark face, “I’m angry now thinking about it. I plan to give you a hundred wishing bottles of stars. I’m running out of time. I owe the rest first, and I’ll give you rest stars in the next life.”

Huang Dan asked unconsciously, “Where did you put it?”

“Do you want to ask me, where is the wishing bottle? Thinking of this makes me very irritated.”

Chen Shi pulled his hair and leaned forward, “I originally wanted to learn from the movies, find a post office and put the wishing bottle there, and let them send it to you every year, but you also know that movies and reality are not the same thing. After thinking about it, I leave it at home.”

“You are not allowed to take out all of them at once. You get one every year on your birthday. Although it is different from me giving you with my own hands, I also folded every star in it.”

Huang Dan went to rummage through boxes and cabinets, and finally he found a big bag containing a dozen wishing bottles. He rubbed his forehead vigorously, and it was very difficult for him to fold a star. There are so many three thousand three hundred and forty-four, how long will that man have to fold?

Chen Shi’s laughter came from the video, and his eyes were gentle, “Find the bag, you have always been smart, I know it, if you work harder, maybe you would have supported me.”

Huang Dan didn’t take the wishing bottle in the bag, he wrote a small note in it, hoping that both the original owner’s parents and Chen Shi’s parents would not lose the wishing bottle.

Even after leaving this world, Huang Dan hoped that all these bottles would be put away properly, not one less.

“Zhang Shuran.”

Huang Dan’s thoughts suddenly came back, and he looked over.

Chen Shi in the video yelled and stopped talking. He disappeared from the screen and came back again, his eyes were red, “You must not know, I am very greedy, I want to have a next life with you, and in the next life, we will be together from life to life, and we will never be separated even after death.”

Huang Dan said, “I know, I’ve always known.”

Chen Shi covered his face with his hands, rubbed it hard, and his voice was hoarse than before, “Hey, Zhang Shuran.”

He called out again, “I love you.”

This is the end of the video, and it is also the last thought in Chen Shi’s life. It is his obsession and everything he has.

Huang Dan was helpless, “You hide it so secretly, aren’t you afraid that I won’t find out before I leave?”

The video played from the beginning, and Chen Shi’s voice sounded again.

Huang Dan sighed, he took off the small bottle in front of his chest, poured the ashes inside into his hand, and licked it off bit by bit, “Okay, we’re together now.”

That day, Huang Dan sat at the table and watched the video. He watched it over and over again. He didn’t shed a single tear, but every time Chen Shi said “I love you”, he would say “I love you too”.
