Shu Yang laughed, “You’re such a smooth talker.”
I opened the jar of Daughter’s Red wine. The intoxicating fragrance hit my nose, and I gulped it down. When the jar was empty, I wiped my mouth with my sleeve, “Good wine~ Good wine~ The money was well spent! (^__^) Hehe…”
An idea popped into my mind. I pulled Shu Yang to the riverside, picked up a sharp stone, and carved our names on the wine jar, adding “Forever Together.” I resealed the jar and sent it into the river, watching it float away.
I turned to see Shu Yang’s deep, affectionate eyes. He embraced me, and the umbrella was blown by the wind into the river. Soon, the rain stopped, and a rainbow appeared. After a long moment, Shu Yang whispered in my ear: “Xiao Han, I love you, and will only truly love you. For you, I’d be willing to lose everything!”
Ah, a confession. I thought, this is the first time I’ve heard such a moving confession in my life! “I believe you.”
I’m underage; I want to save my first kiss! I hooked arms with Shu Yang and continued walking.
Suddenly, we saw a stunningly handsome man holding a portrait and asking passersby for directions. I was shocked.
Shu Yang sensed my reaction but hesitated to ask. I stared wide-eyed at the man I had been thinking about. In my absence, he must have felt lonely and heartbroken. He had grown thin, and his eyes lacked luster.
I frantically rubbed my eyes, afraid that if I blinked, he would disappear. Tears flowed, seemingly betraying me. He turned around, the portrait falling to the ground, his eyes refusing to shed tears, but they spoke of his longing.
Our eyes met, and my face burned, whether from the wine or from him. “Shang!” I ran and threw myself into his embrace, mustering all my courage to hold him tightly.
“Long time no see…” I repeated, tears streaming down my face. I caressed his haggard yet handsome face, saying, “Shang, you’ve lost weight.” He laughed, containing indescribable joy, not answering me. His hands cupped my face, his beautiful eyes slowly closing as he approached mine. But I caught sight of Shu Yang’s lost expression.
