In this world, the words of lovers are the most touching.
Just hearing his voice, Chi Feiran felt his ears tingle.
The kiss was hot, falling on the cool skin, bringing a surge of heat, the body seemed to be ignited from within.
Both their breaths and heartbeats were equally rapid, as if desperately trying to draw something from each other, and also as if they couldn’t wait to offer their all.
The concept of time was erased from their minds, and the world seemed illusory, only the person beside them was everything.
It felt like it would never end, neither wanted to stop, their desire for each other was almost greedy, even the pain became a perfect catalyst, raising the heat higher.
At the peak moment, Chi Feiran almost couldn’t stand, but Rong Jin held him, giving just the right amount of support and more stimulation.
He trembled in Rong Jin’s arms, his eyelashes damp with sweat, feeling the equally unsteady breathing of the person behind him, Chi Feiran said, “Happy birthday.”
Rong Jin didn’t respond with words but turned his head to give him a gentle kiss.
Chi Feiran loved this feeling, he really loved Rong Jin, everything this person gave him was just right, whether it was madness or tenderness, it was all so good.
…
Chi Feiran slept particularly soundly that night, and when he woke up, it was much later than usual. He was always very disciplined, rarely sleeping in, but today he felt lazy and didn’t want to move. Since it was the weekend, he closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
Rong Jin had adjusted his schedule for him, and his biological clock was now extremely healthy. When he woke up and saw that Chi Feiran was still sleeping, he didn’t move, wanting to let him sleep a bit longer.
Later, when it seemed to be getting late, he quietly got up and prepared breakfast.
When breakfast was ready, Chi Feiran still hadn’t woken up, and Rong Jin got a bit nervous, wondering if they had overdone it last night and if he was uncomfortable.
After checking his forehead, he tried to quietly examine him, but Chi Feiran woke up just as he started.
Chi Feiran looked at him, a bit surprised, and asked, “Again?”
Rong Jin: “…”
Did he really seem that beastly?
Rong Jin said, “I was just checking if you were hurt.”
Both of them had lost control a bit last night, and Rong Jin was a bit worried.
Chi Feiran nonchalantly let him check, then lightly kicked him with a challenging tone, “Really not coming?”
Rong Jin grabbed his ankle and tucked him back into the blanket, wrapping him up, “No, still want to sleep?”
Chi Feiran yawned, “Still a bit sleepy.”
Rong Jin touched his cheek, “Then you sleep, I’ll stay with you.”
Chi Feiran paused, feeling something was off, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Rong Jin initially wanted to say it was nothing, but facing his gaze, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
So, Rong Jin lay down beside Chi Feiran, hugging him with the blanket, and said, “Another year older.”
At twenty-eight, he should be in his prime, but his lover’s eighteenth birthday seemed like it was just yesterday.
Rong Jin laughed at himself, then continued, “Don’t laugh at me.”
Chi Feiran thought he was worried about getting closer to aging, as people in their circle often cared about age and appearance, and Rong Jin was usually quite vain and proud, so it was understandable.
But Rong Jin’s next words surprised him: “I’m actually a bit scared that I’m not giving you enough, or not doing well enough.”
The person he loved was too good.
A sense of crisis seemed to grow uncontrollably, he was a bit scared that he wouldn’t be able to keep up physically, afraid he couldn’t satisfy him, yet he wanted to take care of him.
Rong Jin even worried about what would happen if he, being nearly ten years older, died earlier.
Chi Feiran was stunned listening to this. Had he thought about so much? He was always so happy every day, never thinking about such complicated things!
He opened his mouth and blurted out, “Your stamina… is pretty good…”
Rong Jin: “…”
There was something more sentimental he wanted to hear, but all he caught was about stamina?
Chi Feiran also realized he missed the point, so he climbed up and hugged Rong Jin, pressing his face into his neck, and nuzzling him.
Chi Feiran said, “I love you.”
So, let go of those insecurities, he loves him, there’s nothing to worry about. There’s nothing to worry about, they’re already together, just love each other well.
He said, “Rather than thinking about far future things, now is the most important.”
The future had too many uncertainties, but Chi Feiran was sure that no matter how far into the future, they would still love each other.
Finally, thinking about what Rong Jin said about possibly dying early, Chi Feiran hugged him tighter: softly saying, “If… if one of us goes first, wait on the road, okay? The one left behind still has to live well.”
Originally, he didn’t believe in ghosts or reincarnation, but after experiencing rebirth, he started to believe.
He didn’t want to say “what if I die first” because in his past life, he did die first, without even seeing Rong Jin.
If there really was a next life, he wanted to reserve it now.
Listening to his soft comfort, Rong Jin felt that his worries were dragging them down.
He hugged Chi Feiran back, saying, “I love you too.”
Indeed, worrying about the future was less important than focusing on the present. His worries seemed laughable now, and his young boyfriend had a clearer view, this couldn’t continue.
Feeling much better, Rong Jin coaxed his precious one to continue sleeping.
Chi Feiran lay on him but couldn’t sleep anymore. After a while, he muttered, “It’s your fault, I can’t sleep now…”
Rong Jin immediately admitted fault, “Yes, my fault.”
Chi Feiran couldn’t help but laugh, climbed out of bed, and said, “Not sleeping anymore, I’m hungry.”
After all the activity last night, he was bound to be hungry now.
Rong Jin followed him, wanting to help him dress, and seeing his eager eyes, Chi Feiran let him.
Then he asked, “Are you really not coming?”
After Rong Jin buttoned the last button, he lightly slapped his butt, “Go brush your teeth.”
Chi Feiran made a face at him and skipped off to brush his teeth.
Rong Jin stood there, sighing at the relentlessness of time, this youthful energy was unbeatable. He smiled and went downstairs to set breakfast on the table.
As Chi Feiran ate breakfast, he suddenly remembered something, “Did we forget something yesterday?”
Rong Jin initially thought they hadn’t, but then realized there might be something.
After thinking for a while, they remembered they both had prepared rings but forgot to give them to each other because they got busy with other activities.
Now the question was, where were the rings?
After looking at each other for a moment, they hurriedly stood up to search. Fortunately, they remembered their paths from last night and quickly found the two ring boxes.
Chi Feiran said, “This wasn’t how I imagined the scene.”
Rong Jin: “…Neither did I.”
They looked at each other and laughed. They had envisioned something more romantic, but…
They couldn’t stop laughing. Finally, Chi Feiran said, “I’ll go first, put mine on first.”
Rong Jin certainly didn’t object and took out the ring to put it on Chi Feiran’s hand.
Chi Feiran imitated him and did the same for Rong Jin.
Maybe the scene wasn’t as romantic as they had imagined, but the love was there, and that wouldn’t change.
Chi Feiran pursed his lips and said, “Actually, I have something else to show you.”
Without waiting for Rong Jin to ask, Chi Feiran took him back to their room, their hands holding each other, feeling different because of the rings.
This difference made both of them smile.
Chi Feiran took something out from a locked cabinet, something Rong Jin had seen before, an album recording Chi Feiran’s growth from childhood.
Chi Feiran handed the album to Rong Jin, eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Rong Jin swallowed, his hands mechanically flipping through the album. Chi Feiran watched him expectantly.
Rong Jin was puzzled as he looked through the beginning, as the album was thick, covering his entire childhood. He kept looking up at Chi Feiran.
Chi Feiran just signaled for him to keep going, Rong Jin wanted to see what was at the end, but couldn’t skip past any page with his beloved, so he continued slowly until he unexpectedly saw a photo of them meeting for the first time.
Rong Jin looked at Chi Feiran in disbelief, this was…
Chi Feiran proudly lifted his chin, “I specially found it!”
Wherever Rong Jin was present, there were bound to be many photos, but finding the perfect ones of them together wasn’t easy.
Further down, Rong Jin saw photos of them on set, even a photo of them eating out together, being secretly photographed…
Those moments, traveling together, attending events, shooting magazines, attending ceremonies, their first red carpet together… all recorded.
This was their story, continuing from his personal growth diary to their joint memories.
Holding the album, Rong Jin felt overwhelmed with emotion.
Chi Feiran looked at him with bright eyes like stars.
Rong Jin pulled him into a tight hug, his voice soft, “How do you always surprise me? What should I do?”
Chi Feiran hugged him back, earnestly saying, “Just love me more.”
Then he couldn’t help but laugh, “After all, I love you so much, don’t I?”
These words were corny but sweet.
Rong Jin lowered his head, kissed him, and softly said, “Yes, I’ll love you more.”
