Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

Lin Yue let Lin Shen hold his hand and said, "But I haven't finished yet... If I don't say it now, I won't say it later."

"It's okay." Lin Shen shook Lin Yue's hand even harder.

"...Then I won't say anything." Lin Yue was a little discouraged and turned his head to look away.

"You are a member of our Lin family. You must keep your word. The Lin family's reputation depends on you."

Lin Shen said something that didn't make sense, but Lin Yue knew it was very familiar. This was not what Shi Yun said when they were playing mahjong before.

"Why do you always recite other people's lines?"

"I'm just reminding you to be responsible for what you say."

“…Which one?”

"You said you should talk to someone about love as long as they ask you to. You can't go back on your word. I want to talk to you. You know what I am like. This is a token of our love from me."

Lin Shen took off the necklace from his neck. There was a pair of rings on it. Lin Shen took off the smaller one.

"The ring was made while you were unconscious. At first, I wanted to put it on you on my own initiative. However, this is a matter between two people, and your opinion is more important than mine."

As Lin Shen spoke, he put the ring on Lin Yue's middle finger. The ring was a little loose.

"You've lost weight, so the ring is a little big. It was originally made according to your size."

Lin Yue didn't dodge nor say anything.

"I was planning to wait for you to wake up and tell you how much I love you, but you were not in good condition when you woke up. I have been wearing this ring with me, waiting for a better time for you."

"Xiao Yue, I love you. I don't even know when it started. I can't live without you, but I don't know how to tell you. At first, I couldn't understand this feeling, and what I feared most was that you would hate me because of this, and in the end, be so stupid that you would have to sacrifice yourself to keep you by my side and take care of me. But I didn't expect you to interpret those actions as me no longer needing you."

Lin Shen smiled bitterly.

"You've said many times that you don't need to apologize anymore. I've remembered that. I won't mention anything else in the past. I just want to say that as a man who loves you, I want to be with you. You always have the right to choose. If you feel that I'm not suitable or not good enough, you can break up at any time, but I hope you can give me a chance."

After Lin Shen finished speaking, his hands trembled slightly with excitement.

Lin Yue's face didn't show much expression. He looked at the ring on his middle finger and said, "Why did you put it on me before I agreed?"

Lin Shen held Lin Yue's ring-wearing hand to prevent him from moving and said, "You said it, if someone wants to talk to you, just talk."

"That was just a casual conversation, not a legal document with fingerprints."

"You gave Dr. Shi so much money with just one sentence, why doesn't this one sentence count?"

Lin Yue couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment.

"Xiao Yue, I will always treat you well in the future." Lin Shen got back to the point.

"...you...why?"

"Maybe it's because you are good-looking." Lin Shen said and smiled.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm serious. When you first came to my house, I looked at you, this little kid with big eyes and fluttering eyelashes. You were truly adorable. As you grew up, your skin remained as white as when you were little, your eyes were still as beautiful, and your collarbone was beautiful too... Do you... want me to describe you in detail? I'm afraid your impression of me will deteriorate..."

"……No."

"We've been in similar situations, but you've always faced all the problems calmly and have always been sunny. You said Xiaochen was like a little sun, but you've been my sun for so many years. I haven't been able to give you the same warmth because I didn't know how to cherish you before. I will treat you twice as well in the future."

"I know I'm not good enough, but I will definitely work hard to become a qualified partner. Let's give it a try, okay?"

"Yeah." Lin Yue responded softly.

Lin Shen smiled brightly, "I heard that, thank you."

It seemed like it was the first time that Lin Yue saw Lin Shen smile so brightly, and he was a little mesmerized by it.

Lin Shen took off another ring from the necklace and handed it to Lin Yue, saying, "Then please let my boyfriend put it on me."

"Is there anyone who just...what...just wears a ring?"

"You know I have no experience. I saw that others seemed to have it, so I thought we should have it too."

"Put it on me." Lin Shen stretched out his hand again.

"Mr. Lin, what are you going to say?"

"Choose a suitable day and talk normally. My father is the kind of person who takes care of his brother's widow out of comradeship. I think he's open-minded about many things, and he likes you very much. Or, how do you want to say it?"

“…I didn’t think that much.”

"It's okay. I'll figure it out. Do you have any other questions before you let me wear it?"

"Are you really not going to listen to what I'm about to say?"

"Xiao Yue, actually I want to hear everything about you, but if you feel it's difficult to tell me, I can wait, no matter how long it takes. I hope I can make you feel that I love you. In the future, you can tell me anything you want directly. Drinking is really bad for your health."

Lin Shen spoke sincerely because he had already made up his mind. There would be many nights in the future when he could let Lin Yue keep telling him in different ways.

At this time, Lin Yue was moved by Lin Shen's sincerity.

Lin Shen is such a smart man. After hearing what Lin Yue said, Lin Shen understood everything. He didn't let Lin Yue continue because he felt that from now on, all the efforts between the two of them should be made by him.

Lin Yue took the ring and put it on Lin Shen's middle finger.

"Thank you." Lin Shen said.

"My boyfriend, can I ask, when did you...?" Lin Shen asked while admiring his fingers.

"When do you think it was?"

"I...I'm sorry, I didn't know...Except for that time when you suddenly returned home and ignored me, you have always been so nice to me."

"Actually, I don't know. You said I was your sun, so you might be my beacon. You always seem to be able to do everything easily. I often wish I could be as good as you, but you are too hard to catch up with. I have been following your path in life. It seems like you have been a part of my life for a long time." Lin Yue said with his eyes red.

"I really thought about a lot of things, maybe this morning... Brother, no one would not be moved by someone who would risk his life for them without thinking." Lin Yue said.

Lin Shen stood up, walked to Lin Yue, half-knelt beside him, and hugged him in his arms.

"Xiao Yue, can I kiss you?" Lin Shen's gentle breath brushed against Lin Yue's ears.
