Fourteen years have passed, and the teenagers have all grown up. Some of the dreams they had have been lost in time, some grew wings and flew away, never to be found again, and some have come true.

How fortunate to be able to embrace your dreams tightly.

The carefree days are gone forever. When we were young, we always looked forward to growing up quickly, thinking that when we grow up we will have a job, money to spend, and we can do whatever we want without anyone bothering us.

Only when we grew up did we realize how naive we were back then.

When we realized that, we had already been knocked to the ground by all kinds of worries and pressures. We finally got up from the ground, but before we could take two steps, we were knocked down again. When we were sad, upset and collapsed, we cried, and after crying, we got up and continued walking.

There is no escaping reality. No matter how much you want to go back to a happy old time, you must grit your teeth and move forward.

There is no turning back in life.

Everyone has to pay the same price for growing up. They have cried, laughed, complained, and hated each other. But when they reach the age of thirty, everyday they live one day less in life.

And those boys and girls who they liked have also lost their youthfulness and childishness. Living their own stories, either wonderful, ordinary or tired. Before they knew it, a few fine lines had been added to the corners of their eyes when they smiled, and the number of white hairs has increased from one or two to more than ten, pull them out and they come back again.

It has been so long that they can no longer remember the time of the day when they first felt the unconscious throbbing. They only vaguely remember the girl’s long ponytail, her slightly red face when she spoke, and the boy lying on the corridor whistling, with a naughty look on his face.

No one knows who first proposed the class reunion, but it happens every year. People are different, but there are some common contents in the chapter of youth, such as endless subjects, books piled on the desks, being called to answer questions but unable to answer them, secretly writing love letters during class…… and first love that has grown leaves but not bloomed.

There are too many crossroads in life. As we walk, we fall apart. When we turn around, the people around us have changed.

Of course, there are cases where flowers bloom after many years, but the chance of that is extremely low. If we meet, and we still come together after many twists and turns, it must be the guidance of fate. Nothing is more beautiful than this.

Some of the couples in Class Five have already found their own love, some are still waiting for their soulmates to appear, and some are afraid of emotional hurt and live confidently and freely on their own. When they meet in class, they will greet each other with the roles they play, say “long time no see”, and then smile and pass by.

You’ve become worldly and no longer young, and so have I, we’re all the same

Huang Dan was the last one to arrive. He stood at the back door. The gentle boy had grown into a reserved and handsome man, but everyone in the class felt that this scene overlapped with the scene on the day of reporting that year, because he was still as stunning as ever standing there.

Jiang Long was the first to react. He got up from his seat and ran towards Huang Dan excitedly, “Ancestor, you are finally here.”

Huang Dan had just returned from the past. He was so anxious to see Chen Yue as soon as possible that he even forgot about the injury on his leg. Only now did he feel a slight pain. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his body was hot and wet, so he took off his outer coat.

Jiang Long was closest to Huang Dan, so he subconsciously reached for it, but a hand reached out from the side and snatched the coat away.

Chen Yue took his long legs off the desk and bent them under the desk. He put the coat on his legs without giving any explanation for his behavior.

Huang Dan just raised his hand to loosen the tie under the collar of his shirt, without showing any disgust or rejection.

This natural sense of warmth and harmony really exists, and it had become a reality and was floating all over the classroom. At least there had been close contacts for ten or eight years, otherwise it would not have appeared.

Everyone showed surprise in unison, and everyone looked back and forth between the two people. It turned out that the rumors were wrong, and the school studs had always been in contact with each other over the years.

Jiang Long and Liu Feng are best friends on both sides, their mood can no longer be described as surprise, there is obvious disappointment on their faces. If it wasn’t the wrong timing, the two of them would definitely grab their buddies and cry, how dare you hook up with someone else, am I not your best buddy?

Speaking of which, Jiang Long and Liu Feng are in the same business, both of them own shops, one sells roast duck and the other sells noodles. They used to look down on each other, but now that they have matured a little, they live in peace as long as they don’t have their shops on the same street.

Liu Feng failed to learn to be a chef at that time and ran away halfway. He had been working for others in the previous years and spent all the money he saved, either on himself or on others, but it was never enough. It was Chen Yue who paid for him to find a storefront, and then he was able to open the store.

Jiang Long was similar to Liu Feng in this respect. At that time, he wanted to start a business, and it was Huang Dan who transferred a sum of money to his card. Otherwise, he would still be sitting in the office, working overtime every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, and being miserable.

The greatest luck in their lives is to have a close friend.

“Why aren’t you all speaking?”

Jiang Long smiled, his little canine teeth were still there. Back then, he participated in a singing competition to pursue his dream of becoming a singer and won first place. The agency wanted to launch him, saying that his teeth were ugly, so he almost had his teeth fixed, but later the deal was dropped because of their different values.

“How about it, what I said is right, the young master is still the young master, no beer belly, no baldness, no swimming ring, he is still so radiant.”

Liu Feng had gained weight. His face was still dark, but he had gained weight and his flesh had sagged downwards. He glanced at Huang Dan, who was wearing a well-ironed suit, and snorted, “God is still so unfair.”

Jiang Long rolled his eyes at him and said, “Just forget it. It’s obviously you who can’t control your mouth and eats all day long. Don’t blame everything on God.”

Liu Feng said angrily, “You know shit, I’m just under pressure, okay? Damn, I gain 20 to 30 pounds a year at work, and once I gain, I can’t lose it!”

Many male compatriots shared similar feelings. They were in the same situation. They accidentally gained a few layers of fat on their stomachs, and no one knew how they got that.

It’s hard to buy clothes, and they are disliked by their family. They were told to eat less every time they met. It’s impossible to lose weight. Don’t even think about it.

Chen Yan walked over with makeup on her face, delicate eyebrows and eyes. She got married the second year after graduating from college. Her husband is an ordinary office worker like her. He is a nice person and treats her very well. There are no conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she lives a very comfortable life. Now that she is pregnant, her whole body exudes the light of maternal love.

“Huang Dan, you didn’t come to the previous gatherings. If Jiang Long hadn’t promised me this time, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

“I didn’t believe it either. I confirmed it with Jiang Long again and again before I believed it.”

Qian Meng stepped closer in her high-heeled boots. She looked at Huang Dan with a smile on her face, without any inferiority or shyness. “I haven’t seen you for many years. You don’t seem to have changed much.”

Wu Fang interjected. She had cut her waist-length ponytail and had short hair that reached her ears. She looked much neater and more capable, “Who said he hasn’t changed? Huang Dan has obviously become more handsome.”

Life is full of surprises. There were only three girls in the top ten in the class that year. Among them, Chen Yan was the best looking and Qian Meng was the most average. But more than ten years later, her temperament became the most outstanding among the three.

If Huang Dan hadn’t gone back in time when he climbed to the fourth floor, he wouldn’t have had the slightest impression of the people in the class, but he went back.

Huang Dan was sure that Qian Meng’s face had undergone minor adjustments. Her single eyelids become double eyelids, her square face became an oval face, and the freckles were removed. She was very confident now and, like everyone else, focused her attention on him and Chen Yue.

Single men with excellent conditions are the objects of their attention.

Huang Dan’s legs hurt even more. Probably because of sweating, the color on his face faded and his breathing no longer steady.

Chen Yue stood up immediately and spoke, his voice low and hoarse, with indistinguishable emotions, including distress, worry, and nervousness, “What’s wrong with your leg?”

The sound of desk and chairs scraping against the ground was harsh, and everyone’s nerve endings were tugged, unable to realize what was going on.

Huang Dan said, “I was hit by a motorcycle on the road.”

Everyone was stunned, and someone joked, “No way, Huang Dan, you and Chen Yue are so destined, something happened to him on the way here, and he almost got disfigured.”

Huang Dan looked over and saw a few strands of hair on the man’s forehead scattered, covering the broken skin.

Chen Yue frowned, “How did you get hit by a motorcycle?”

Huang Dan pursed his lips, “When I came out of the supermarket, a motorcycle came from the side, didn’t pay attention and hit me.”

The corners of Chen Yue’s eyes were red. He pressed his throbbing temples and asked, “Is the wound serious?”

Huang Dan said, “It’s not serious.”

They missed more than ten years, but they were no strangers at all, as if they had rubbed shoulders yesterday.

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle. The two of them asked and answered questions, giving people the illusion that they were a couple.

Jiang Long pulled Huang Dan’s arm and asked nervously, “Why didn’t you tell me on the phone that you were hit by a motorcycle? Have you seen a doctor?”

Huang Dan said he had seen it.

Jiang Long breathed a sigh of relief, “The weather forecast was not accurate. It said it would not snow, but it turned out to be so bad in the afternoon. We won’t go back at night. We will wait until the road clears before going back.”

There were fine lines at the corners of Chen Yan’s eyes when she laughed, “Young Master is a person who is so afraid of pain, but he still comes to attend the class reunion. We must have a good get-together in the evening.”

Qian Meng said yes, “It’s rare. I don’t know when we can get together again next time.”

Huang Dan asked, “Have you found a place to stay?”

Jiang Long was speechless. “Love at first sight? I told you that on the phone. Have you forgotten it in such a short time?”

Huang Dan said, “Love at first sight……it’s good.”

As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, looking at Chen Yue intentionally or unintentionally. Chen Yue was also looking at him. There were some words that he didn’t say, but the emotions he wanted to express were already revealed in his eyes.

The moment he came back, Huang Dan thought that he would be so excited that he would be incoherent when he saw Chen Yue, and he would be unable to control his emotions and do some things that were inconsiderate of the occasion. But when they really met, and seeing the person he had been thinking about was right in front of him, he felt more at ease and grateful.

It turns out you are still waiting for me here. Thank you for not leaving. In the future, let’s walk together.

We have had many class reunions, but each time either one of us couldn’t come due to something or that one couldn’t be contacted. This was the first time that all 45 classmates in the class were present, without missing a single one.

People gather in groups of three or five to reminisce about the past, talk about work, family, income, and children, all of which involve the ways of the world.

They used to be extremely annoyed by these topics, but now these have become a part of their lives.

“I’m telling you, I didn’t expect to be able to come to this year’s party, because usually, no matter what the reason, the team leader won’t approve leave, and I have to go to work even if I have a fever. This time, the team leader was merciful and approved the leave. The surprise came so quickly that I didn’t even have time to get my hair done.”

“Me too. It’s so hard to adjust my leave. The last time I got approval was to go home for a funeral. But guess what, this time, as soon as I mentioned a class reunion, the manager agreed without hesitation and told me to have fun.”

“I’m better, the whole department got a day off for no reason.”

“You know what this is called? God’s will!”

Huang Dan glanced at the man who had lowered his head and was touching his coat. There was God’s will, but more of it was up to man.

“What’s this?”

Someone discovered something in the drawer of the podium. It was a Walkman, a model from more than ten years ago.

“Sweet as honey, you smile so sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze……”

The sound quality belonging to that era rang in the classroom, and some people couldn’t help humming along in a low voice, filled with emotion and nostalgia.

I miss myself back then, and I miss my classmates back then.

“Who put it there? It’s so romantic, Jiang Long, it must be you, right?”

Everyone knows that Jiang Long is proposing today and everyone has agreed in advance that they will cooperate when the time comes.

Jiang Long said with a confused look, “It’s not me.”

He muttered, “Why didn’t I think of this?”

“Anyway, no one has come forward to admit it, so you might as well just use it, but the tape seems to have been specially recorded. I don’t know if your girlfriend would like this.”

There are only four songs in the Walkman, one is 《Sweet as Honey》, one is 《Simple Love》, one is 《Call》, and one is 《I Only Care About You》.

The teasing smile on Liu Feng’s face suddenly froze. He turned to look at Chen Yue with a strange look.

Chen Yue looked at the person in the leftmost seat in the first row in the middle. Everything was the same as before, but yet different.

At this moment, the person in that seat turned around and looked over.

Chen Yue was startled. He raised the corners of his lips and sighed with a smile. My dearest person, you finally looked back at me.

Liu Feng’s eyelids jumped. He walked to Chen Yue’s seat and said, “Come out, I have something to talk to you.”

Chen Yue’s eyes did not leave the back, “What’s the matter?”

Liu Feng simply blocked his view, “Matter that cannot be discussed in the classroom.”

Chen Yue raised his eyelids.

Liu Feng looked at him and said, “I’ll go out and wait for you.”

Chen Yue lowered his eyes and touched the coat on his legs. His movements were gentle, as if he were touching his lover.

A minute or two later, Chen Yue and Liu Feng stood in the corridor.

The cold wind was rampant, sweeping up and down, as if it was freezing the half-hanging plaster on the wall.

Liu Feng sneezed and zipped up his open leather jacket. He did not ask directly. As people grow older, they have more concerns, “Some time ago, you said you would not return to China this year. Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

Chen Yue lowered his head and lit a cigarette and asked instead, “Do you still remember the sports competition in the first grade of high school?”

Liu Feng asked Chen Yue for a cigarette. One pack worth the six or seven packs in his pocket. He smoked it comfortably. “How can I not remember? You ran 3,000 meters. You were slow in the beginning, but suddenly exerted your strength in the last lap. You overtook others and ran first, stealing the show.”

Chen Yue exhaled a cloud of smoke. “He was at the finish line. I was running towards him.”

Liu Feng’s hand trembled and he almost dropped the cigarette. Memories flashed in his eyes and he couldn’t remember who was standing at the finish line that year.

But there was something Liu Feng remembered. His expression changed. No wonder……

The corridor fell silent, with only circles of smoke rising and swirling, dancing silently.

Liu Feng licked his dry lips. He still couldn’t believe it and wanted to hear the answer from the person involved, “Is it Huang Dan?”

Chen Yue said, “Yes, it’s him.”

Liu Feng wiped his face, breathing a little hurriedly, “When did it happen? In the first semester of the first year of high school?”

Chen Yue said, “Earlier.

Liu Feng opened his mouth in shock, and a gust of cold wind entered his stomach, instantly cooling his whole body. He shuddered, “So the person you liked at that time was him?”

Chen Yue put one hand in the pocket of his trousers, “Otherwise? Do you think I am you and like pretty people whenever I see them?”

“Keep your voice down!”

Liu Feng glanced at the classroom corridor, and when he saw no one came out, he continued to ask, “Is he the one who rejected you?”

Chen Yue half-closed his eyes and flicked the cigarette, with that little bit of cigarette ashes falling to the ground. “From beginning to end, it was only him, no one else.”

Liu Feng swallowed his saliva. It’s really amazing. He didn’t notice any clues back then. If those songs weren’t the ones Chen Yue listened to every day, and if he thought about the scene where Chen Yue was nervous about Huang Dan, he wouldn’t have suspected Huang Dan.

“You’ve been alone all these years. Every time I introduced you to someone, you refused. Shuhsu and Ayi couldn’t persuade you. Were you trying to keep your virginity for him?”

Chen Yue shrugged, “Any problem?”

“This is a big problem!”

Liu Feng was quite excited. His buddy has the looks and the fame and fortune he wanted. There is a large forest in front of him and he could choose whatever he wanted. But he ended up hanging on a tree for fourteen years and refused to come down even though he could die.

Times have changed, and homosexuality is no longer so scary, but Liu Feng still feels sorry for his buddy.

How many fourteen years can a person have?

Liu Feng thought carefully about his two relationships. If he was asked to wait fourteen years for one of them, he would never be able to do it.

There are too many temptations, and people can also feel lonely.

Liu Feng couldn’t imagine how Chen Yue persisted. He couldn’t even understand what kind of persistence it was.

“I’m confused. Isn’t Huang Dan just good-looking and with better grades? He is a man just like us, and we all have what he has. Why do you fall in love with him? ”

Chen Yue said casually, “It was love at first sight.”

Liu Feng was stunned for a long time before he cursed, “There are so many girls chasing you, but you reject them one by one. How can you fall in love with a boy at first sight?”

Chen Yue put out half of his cigarette, “Besides destiny, what else could it be?”

Liu Feng stared at his buddy, “I’m afraid you’ll suffer. I know more about relationships than you do. When two people are together, there will always be one who gives more and the other who gives less. You have been waiting for him all these years. Even if you are together, you will still be inferior to him.”

Chen Yue raised his eyebrows, “I’d love to.”

Liu Feng, “……I seem to see the idiot from back then.”

Chen Yue doesn’t care, he accepts all of him who is deeply in love with Huang Dan.

Liu Feng suddenly remembered something. “Could it be that the castle you bought was…… Shit, you decided when you drew the castle on the certificate?”

Chen Yue pinched the five-pointed star in his pocket, “To put it bluntly, without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Liu Feng saw the wind messing up Chen Yue’s hair on his forehead, revealing a wound inside. He felt a little sad. How could one love someone to this extent?

“Don’t tell me, you organized this class reunion?”

“Indeed so.”

Liu Feng stared at him, “You’ve never been in a relationship before, right? Why are you so romantic?”

Chen Yue thought to himself, Huang Dan and I have lived together for several lifetimes. He lazily said two words, which had the flavor of his youth, “Be attentive.”

“……”

Liu Feng hasn’t been this nag for a long time. “Chen Yue, so many years have passed. Now you are not the same as before, and he is not the same as before. You have both changed. Have you ever thought that it would be inappropriate for you to be together?”

Chen Yue said it was very appropriate, “Let me put it this way, if he is alive, I am alive, if he is gone, I am gone too.”

Knowing that Chen Yue was not joking, Liu Feng took a breath. His hands shook again, and this time he failed to hold the cigarette and it fell off the steps. “Then he treats you……”

Chen Yue suddenly said, “Class teacher is here.

The two of them didn’t run into the classroom like they did before, but went downstairs to pick him up.

Old Wei was in his fifties and his body was in good shape, but his cheeks were much shriveled.

Chen Yue shouted, “Teacher.”

Old Wei pushed up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. He knew in advance that the problem students in the class had become famous and prospered abroad. When he looked at the handsome appearance of his student now, he was not that surprised.

This is not a special case. There have been situations like this before. You have to walk the road yourself while others are watching. No one can tell how far you will go.

Old Wei was out of breath after going up a few steps, “It seems that you have already found your goal.”

Chen Yue smiled and said, “Yes, I found it.”

Liu Feng twitched his lips. If the class teacher knew that the goal Chen Yue found was his most proud student, he would probably be angry to the point of black out, and would fall down the stairs.

They had never been back for previous gatherings, as it was either in a hotel or a club. This time they were back and met their class teacher, and everyone was very excited.

Old Wei stood on the podium, trying to straighten his back and looked at the grown-up students, “Welcome back to your alma mater.”

“Teacher, how are you doing?”

“I can eat, drink, walk, and move around. It’s pretty good.”

Old Wei said amidst the laughter, “Come back more often when you have time. In another two years, you won’t be able to see an old man like me even if you want to.”

Jiang Long said, “Teacher, you are only in your fifties, you are still young.”

“That’s right. My dad is almost seventy, and he still drinks wine and hums tunes. He lives a life that is so unrestrained.”

Old Wei can no longer teach. He has complications in his lame leg. As he gets older, the pain makes him unable to walk. “If any of you don’t pay attention to the lectures now, I won’t be able to throw the chalk correctly.”

“Teacher, throw one to me and see!”

Old Wei picked up a piece of chalk and threw it over. Liu Feng not only didn’t dodge, but also moved sideways to it.

“Isn’t this very accurate?”

“It can be said that it is very accurate. Come on, give the teacher a round of applause!”

Old Wei listened to the students’ applause in unison. He turned his head back and wiped his eyes, “You guys are a bunch of rascals. I was blind as a teacher.”

“Teacher, Class 5 has a top scorer in science, and no one has surpassed him in score so far. There is also a man who started a company abroad and became a big boss. You must be very proud.”

“Yes, the teacher is very proud, not only of them, but also of you.”

Old Wei knocked on the podium, “Don’t steal or rob, don’t do anything immoral or harmful to the world, you are all the teachers’ pride, and the school is proud of you.”

You could hear a pin drop in the classroom, and none of the forty or so people made a sound. They were no longer children, and their thoughts were no longer simple. These words may have touched a certain point, so they had mixed feelings.

Old Wei stopped talking after he finished speaking. He stood in front of Huang Dan’s seat and chatted with him for a few words. He learned that he was doing a good job and had a bright future.

There were always arrangements for the gathering. Everyone comes up to the podium one by one, takes a piece of chalk and writes their name on the blackboard and introduces themselves.

Jiang Long also wrote his name in the middle, with two big characters, as he did before. He smiled and said, “Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Long. We are friends from all over the world. Meeting each other is fate. I am very happy to meet you.”

After him came Chen Yan, “Hello, I am Chen Yan, the character Yan for swallow.”

As she spoke, she left her name on the blackboard.

Everyone did that, and the vague memories slowly became clear.

Huang Dan wrote his name in the lower left corner. No one occupied that position, so there was an empty space. He left it for Chen Yue.

When it came to Chen Yue, he bent down and wrote his name next to Huang Dan’s name.

Liu Feng was the only one in the class who was force-fed a mouthful of dog food. While eating, he thought, I am the only one who can eat it. You can’t eat it, and most of you probably can’t eat it either.

This dog food is unique. It takes fourteen years to produce and each grain is very substantial.

Everyone went for a walk with Old Wei, looked at the snow scene, and took photos to post on WeChat Moments.

Huang Dan didn’t leave, and Jiang Long wanted to call him, but Liu Feng dragged Jiang Long and left.

“Why are you dragging me? Huang Dan is still in the classroom, damn it, Liu Feng, let go……”

The noisy sounds gradually faded away and the surroundings became extremely quiet.

Huang Dan left his seat, turned around and walked to the last row at the back door and sat with Chen Yue.

No one bothered, none of them spoke, they just sat quietly.

Chen Yue took out a note from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Huang Dan.

Huang Dan opened the note, and on it was a little man with a schoolbag on his back, wearing a school uniform, and a flower on his head. Next to it was written the same sentence – You look so beautiful when you smile.

At this moment, time goes back, back to the first year of high school fourteen years ago, back to the classroom filled with the atmosphere of youth.

Cicadas were chirping non-stop. The teacher on the podium turned his back and wrote calculation formulas on the blackboard. The students below were sitting crookedly. Some were taking notes seriously, some were dozing off, some were playing truant, and some were passing notes to the desks in front and behind them.

Chen Yue drew a little man on a piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball and threw it towards Huang Dan’s seat. He lay on the desk and secretly raised the corners of his mouth.

Time went back to the day of the high school entrance examination.

Chen Yue was lazily eating a popsicle when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure who was extremely dazzling in the crowd and seemed out of place.

Just because of that one sight, Chen Yue has been chasing him for fourteen years.

Huang Dan was the first to speak. He didn’t ask about time travel. The person is here, we have met, everything is fine, there is plenty of time for the future, “Why is there a flower on the little man’s head?”

Chen Yue’s thoughts came back to him, and he grinned, his resolute and mature face showing a bit of the stupidity of that time, “Cute, just like you.”

Huang Dan frowned, “I’m not cute.”

Chen Yue looked at him straightly, “Nonsense, you are the cutest in the world.”

He looked domineering, who dared to say “no” can try.

Huang Dan，“……”

Chen Yue took out the five-pointed star and played with it between his fingers.

Huang Dan glanced at the five-pointed star and recognized it as a five-yuan note. He had a guess in his mind and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Chen Yue raised his lips and smiled, “The quality of this money is good. It’s still the same as before after more than ten years.”

“Of course, the main thing is that I collect the best. Not only this, but also everything related to you.”

Chen Yue seriously thought about whether he should change his stupid and slightly crazy behavior, but he found that he couldn’t.

Just thinking about it makes him feel so uncomfortable.

So he just left it at that, carefully preserving each one of them, taking them out and touching them every now and then, so that he wouldn’t feel so empty inside.

The person around him didn’t speak, and Chen Yue frowned.

In this world, there will always be someone who can easily make you naive, impulsive, nervous, and cautious, even if you have a successful career, fame and fortune.

For Chen Yue, Huang Dan is that person.

Chen Yue unbuttoned his suit to give himself a breath and relieve the tension. Calm down, Chen Yue, he likes you too.

Huang Dan folded the paper and put it in his pocket. He was using his actions to reassure the man.

When Chen Yue saw this scene, his tense muscles relaxed a lot. He smiled bitterly. Only this person could control his emotions, and it would remain the same no matter how many years passed.

“How about it, are you a little touched?”

Huang Dan said, “I’m very touched.”

Chen Yue’s breathing stagnated. He turned his head to the side, his eyes filled with anticipation, “Then can you kiss me?”

Huang Dan did as he was told.

He can be very obedient and gentle, and he only does this in front of one person.

Chen Yue’s lips softened, and he covered Huang Dan’s eyes with his hands, “Don’t look.”

Huang Dan heard the nasal tone in Chen Yue’s voice and knew that he must have been crying.

Chen Yue cried, not because he was sad, but because he was happy. He had been alone all the way, and he had never given up for a moment.

Huang Dan sighed.

Chen Yue’s forehead twitched, “Why are you sighing?”

Huang Dan said, “I thought you would kiss me back, but I didn’t expect you to stay still.”

Chen Yue, “……” Fuck, I was so happy that I forgot about it all in instant.

Huang Dan’s mouth was bitten, he frowned, but did not ask Chen Yue to be gentler.

Chen Yue’s lips trembled. No one knew how many times this scene had appeared in his dreams. Every time he woke up, he was overwhelmed by a huge sense of loss and was absent-minded the whole day.

When dreams become reality, everyone goes crazy.

Because he was too excited, Chen Yue’s arms around Huang Dan were very stiff and he couldn’t control his strength. He tasted a salty taste, his body shook violently, and he immediately moved away.

Seeing the tears on Huang Dan’s face, Chen Yue’s mind went blank. He uttered dumbly in a hoarse voice, “Does it hurt?”

Huang Dan nodded.

Chen Yue quickly took out the Hearttex and pulled out two of them to wipe his tears. “Tell me if it hurts. If you tell me, I will be gentler.”

Huang Dan looked at the package of Hearttex with tears in his eyes, “Why did you bring this as well?”

Chen Yue smiled and blinked, “I’m afraid you won’t want me.”

When he smiled like this, the vicissitudes between his brows became more obvious, “With this, I can reminisce about the past with you.”

Huang Dan said, “You are already very outstanding.”

Chen Yue does not think this is his biggest advantage. He has worked hard to climb up and has achieved what he has today. In the eyes of others, he is a so-called successful person, but Huang Dan does not care.

“So what? Among the people who have expressed their love to you over the years, there is no shortage of excellent people.”

Huang Dan said, “You are different from them.”

Chen Yue was secretly happy in his heart, this is what he wanted him to say, “Really?”

Huang Dan knew what he was thinking, “Really, you are special.”

Chen Yue supported his knees with his hands and leaned forward. He was looking at Huang Dan’s long curly eyelashes and saw a teardrop hanging on them. He couldn’t help but put his lips close to them.

He wanted to do this for a long time.

Huang Dan pressed the small wound on his mouth and gasped in pain.

Chen Yue turned his head away, just like the nurse in the infirmary who couldn’t find the vein for Huang Dan and injected him two more times. He ran out and stood at the door, unable to bear to watch.

After Huang Dan had recovered from the pain, Chen Yue dared to look at him, “Is your leg really okay?”

Huang Dan, “Yeah.”

Chen Yue knelt down and asked anxiously, “Is it the left leg?”

Huang Dan said yes, “It’s been bandaged.”

Chen Yue rolled up the left trouser leg of Huang Dan and saw a circle of gauze. He is afraid of pain and would cry for a long time over a small bruise. If his leg was injured to the point that it needed to be bandaged, the pain would definitely be severe.

“Why do you still come to the class reunion?”

Huang Dan said, “I originally wanted to go home and lie down, but here I am.”

“Besides, Jiang Long is proposing to his girlfriend today. He wanted me to be there, and I promised him.”

Chen Yue pouted, “So, I have to thank Jiang Long for being able to see you.”

Huang Dan wanted to ask the man, do you still remember those people and things? He felt that he remembered them all, he must remember them.

Chen Yue carefully lowered Huang Dan’s trouser legs, held his hand and put it on his lips, “Don’t lower your head when you walk, and don’t be distracted. Next time we go out, you have to hold my hand, do you understand?”

Huang Dan said nothing.

Chen Yue said helplessly, “When you act like this, I feel confused and panic.”

Huang Dan lifted Chen Yue’s hair from his forehead to look at his injuries.

Chen Yue raised his eyebrows, “Fortunately, it’s nothing serious, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to sit here and talk to you now.”

Huang Dan said, “Didn’t you go to the hospital?”

“I was in such a hurry to see you that I don’t have time to worry about this.”

Chen Yue wrapped his rough palm around his hand and hesitated, “There is something I haven’t decided how to tell you yet.”

Huang Dan knew what he was referring to. “Then tell me when you’ve made up your mind.”

Chen Yue stared at the person in front of him, “Don’t think too much, it’s not what you think. I won’t do anything to hurt you.”

Huang Dan smiled and said, “I know.”

Chen Yue was stunned. It took him a while to come back to his senses, “You look so pretty when you smile.”

The curvature of Huang Dan’s lips did not disappear. It was you who taught me how to smile. Thank you.

The snow has been falling outside, and those who went out for a walk were still walking and stopping in the snow. No one knew what was happening in the classroom.

Jiang Long walked away for a while and then turned back, “Why hasn’t Huang Dan come over yet?”

Qian Meng also looked back, “Chen Yue didn’t come either.”

Chen Yan, who was holding an umbrella, exhaled, “Maybe they felt cold and didn’t come out.”

She pulled the long black down jacket closer and put the hat on the back of her head. “Speaking of which, Jiang Long, didn’t you say that Huang Dan has been in contact with you only over the years? Then what’s going on between him and Chen Yue?”

“Could it be that they had contact at work? Jiang Long, you haven’t heard anything about it?”

Qian Meng was concerned about the relationship issues of the two golden bachelors. She was single too, so it was normal for her to ask about them. “You said Huang Dan didn’t have anyone in his heart, and you also said Chen Yue didn’t have a date. Could that be unreliable too?”

Jiang Long was speechless. Don’t ask him, he wanted to know too.

Damn it, he is proposing tonight, how can he still care about other people’s affairs? Wake up wake up!

Jiang Long slumped his shoulders again, he was still very curious.

Liu Feng, who was not far behind, blew his nose and threw it into the snow. You don’t know, right? I know, but I won’t tell you, because it will make you anxious to death.

Snow was flying in the corridors and cold air was rushing into the classrooms. It was so freezing that even talking about love would risk catching a fever.

Chen Yue helped Huang Dan put on his coat and buttoned it up one by one. “Wait for me for a moment.”

Huang Dan saw Chen Yue walk to the front and take the Walkman back from Jiang Long’s desk.

Chen Yue touched the pocket of his coat on the chair, took out a pair of headphones, and put one into Huang Dan’s ear.

Huang Dan said, “You brought so many things.”

Chen Yue kissed him on the cheek and said, “To tell you the truth, I always bring it with me every time I come back to see you.”

Huang Dan looked at him.

Chen Yue also looked over, “Are you fascinated by me?”

Huang Dan listened to the familiar melody and for a few seconds thought that he was still in the past. It wasn’t until the man’s tobacco-scented breath surrounded him that he realized that he was really back.

“Well, I’m fascinated by you. I fell in love with you.”

Chen Yue was just lowering his head to touch Huang Dan’s hands, one by one, when he suddenly heard those words and was stunned.

Huang Dan repeated, “Chen Yue, I have fallen in love with you, it is absolutely true.”

Chen Yue still didn’t respond.

Huang Dan frowned in distress, “Don’t you like this confession? Then I’ll think about a proper one again.”

Chen Yue hugged the person and held his face, “Don’t think about it. Just say that to me a few times. I’ll be happy to hear it.”

Huang Dan fulfilled Chen Yue’s wish.

Chen Yue wiped away the moisture from the corners of his eyes and sighed. If his subordinates saw him like this, they would be scared to death.

Huang Dan’s phone rang. It was Song Min calling. He pressed the answer button and heard the same solemn voice on the other end, “Master, did you have fun at the class reunion?”

“Pretty good.”

“What time will you be back at night? I’ll pick you up.”

Huang Dan glanced at Chen Yue, who was tinkering with his Walkman next to him, “I’ll not return tonight, I’ll be back tomorrow.”

There was silence on the other end for a few moments, “Master, have you already decided? You didn’t even bring your toiletries.”

Huang Dan said, “They are all available in the hotel room.”

There was silence on the other end for a while, “Staying outside is different from home, there will be many inconveniences.”

Huang Dan said, “It’s okay, it’s just one night, everyone is here, I can’t spoil the fun.”

The phone was hung up.

Chen Yue didn’t ask anything, and Huang Dan didn’t take the initiative to mention it to him.

Some things cannot be explained in a few words. Huang Dan and Chen Yue have plenty of time. Once they calm down, they will lay out everything in front of them one by one.

Several songs were played one after another.

Chen Yue put on his coat at some point, and kept one hand in his pocket, as if holding something.

Huang Dan pretended not to see anything.

Wind blew in from the front and rear doorways and windows, and kept moving through the classroom.

Chen Yue moved the desk forward to make room. His heartbeat was speeding up and jumping out in excitement.

The next moment, Chen Yue bent his knees and made an action he had practiced countless times at home.

He knelt down on one knee in front of Huang Dan, took out a small velvet box and opened it. Inside was a platinum ring. He smiled and said with a choked voice, “Come back to the castle with me, my princess.”

There were two proposals at today’s class reunion. Everyone only knew about Jiang Long’s proposal, but didn’t know there was also Chen Yue’s proposal.

Huang Dan sat on the chair and moved his hands, “What’s in the castle?”

Chen Yue smiled softly, “Let me think about it, there are many trees, a rose garden, a lake, a grassland, and…… the person who loves you the most.”

Huang Dan stretched out his hand to him.

Chen Yue slowly put the ring on Huang Dan’s ring finger and put his lips to it. From now on, I will protect you from the wind and rain. You just have to smile in the sunshine.
