lack of love

On this day, Yan Hao suddenly said that he would take him out.

Since the accident four years ago, they have rarely driven far alone.Although Zhong Qi knew that they couldn't live in the shadow of that time forever, but it still took a lot of courage to take that step.He thought for a while, and then confirmed again: "Don't you have a driver?"

Yan Hao said, "No driver."

"Do you have to go?"

Yan Hao nodded: "I want to take you to a very important place."

Hearing what Yan Hao said, Zhong Qiran stopped asking, he knew that there must be a reason for Yan Hao's persistence.

Before leaving, Zhong Qi was still a little nervous, constantly checking if he had forgotten anything, stuffed a bunch of useless things into his bag, and took it out after thinking about it.

Yan Hao didn't urge him, just stood at the door and watched, as if no matter how long Zhong Qiran tossed and tossed, he would wait for him.

Zhong Qiran glanced at Yan Hao, and finally gave up struggling.He admitted that he was still afraid in his heart, worried about what might happen again, and finally they got over all difficulties to be together, and he just wanted to live a peaceful life like this, without making any more disturbances.But he thought again, if he really couldn't avoid it, he should protect Yan Hao this time.

The two got into the car and put on their seat belts.Before setting off, Yan Hao shook Zhong Qiran's hand by his side, as if to reassure him, and then drove off.

The car drove up the road slowly, Yan Hao still drove very smoothly, no different from before.But Zhong Qiran didn't relax because of this, because he found that the road Yan Hao walked was the same road they took when they had a car accident four years ago.He seemed to guess where Yan Hao was going to take him, but he didn't feel any joy at all.Now he only hopes for a safe journey, and doesn't want to think about anything else.

Soon after, the car left the road and headed towards the mountains.

Zhong Qiran was terribly nervous, staring at the opposite car, clutching the handrail tightly.The closer he got to where they had crashed the car, the more frightened he felt.

At this time Yan Hao said: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Zhong Qiran quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, this time I will protect you."

Yan Hao was silent and did not speak.

Today's weather is good, there are many people traveling, and the speed of the car is slow. In fact, there is nothing to worry about.

Yan Hao remembered the group photo of the two on his desk, and the location of the group photo was their destination this time, a dating spot.This is also the place where he brought the clock up for the first time after they got married.

Eight years ago, he, a young master of the Yan family, checked dating strategies online for the first time, arranged his own itinerary, and memorized all the precautions, just to give Zhong Qiran a good memory.In the end, no matter how well he thought, he messed up the day, because not long after they arrived at their destination, it rained heavily in the mountains without warning.

The two of them didn't bring umbrellas, so they could only hide in the service area of ​​the scenic spot to avoid the rain.In order to match the local attractions, the service area is built in the form of a log cabin with a sloping roof, which is very simple.

They stood under the eaves to watch the rain.

Zhong Qiran saw that Yan Hao seemed very disappointed, so he smiled and walked over with his mobile phone, and took a selfie of the two of them on the spot.

The background of the photo is very ordinary, not special, but maybe it is because of the relationship between people and the rainy water, which makes the expressions of the characters in this photo vivid.

Later, the rain stopped and the sun came out again. When they went to take other photos, the effect was not as good as this one.

So Zhong Qiran took this photo to a photo studio, developed it, dug out the photo frame that had not been used for a long time, placed it in the most conspicuous position in the living room, and said with a smile: "This is their first date commemoration." .”

Yan Hao still remembers Zhong Qiran's smile when he said these words, it was heart-warming and warm, and he always wanted to keep it in his heart and treasure it, and come back to savor it slowly when he gets old.

Even now, his thoughts have not changed, and his emotions seem to be slowly becoming clear through these memories.He held the steering wheel very firmly: "I don't want this road to become the source of your fear."

Zhong Qi was stunned for a moment, and understood Yan Hao's meaning.This was supposed to be a journey of fond memories for them, not one that should be dominated by fear.

He still remembered the day of the car accident four years ago, they were going to revisit the old place.Yan Hao said at the time that he knew there was something very special and insisted on taking him to see it.Then something happened, and no one thought about it anymore.

And when Zhong Qiran recalled the past, the car had already passed the place where they had an accident, leaving them far behind.The broken guardrail has been patched up again, and it is integrated with the surrounding, without any traces.

Zhong Qiran was in a daze for a while, as if he didn't expect them to pass by so easily, without any accident, he muttered to himself: "Passed..."

It seemed that after speaking, the fear in my heart dissipated.More importantly, because of this person by their side, they will overcome difficulties together.

Yan Hao also followed him and repeated once: "It's over."

Zhong Qiran seemed to realize something, and suddenly asked: "Do you still want to take me to see that thing you said?"

Yan Hao said: "Yes. Only you can see this thing."

They arrived at their destination safely this time.

After eight years, they finally came to this place again.This is a natural wooded area with beautiful views down the mountain.The most special thing about this place is that there are two meandering rivers at the foot of the mountain, which happen to merge into the shape of a heart.This is a natural wonder, so this place is also known as a confession resort.

Yan Hao took Zhong Qiran's hand, counted the trees above his head, and came to the ninth tree.

Zhong Qiran watched Yan Hao roll up his sleeves and began to dig the soil with his hands.He was taken aback, looked around, and found no one was paying attention, he used his body to block Yan Hao's movements, "What are you doing?"

Yan Hao said: "Looking for something. It's been so long, I don't know if it's still there..."

Zhong Qiran had some thoughts in his mind, but he didn't dare to guess.

Until Yan Hao dug out a small package from the soil and handed it to Zhong Qiran.

Zhong Qiran took the things, but didn't realize that his hands were trembling slightly.The thing had been soaked in mud and water, and had obviously been buried in the soil for a long time.

Yan Hao tore off the dirty outer seal with his hands, and handed the small box inside to Zhong Qiran: "Open it and have a look."

After Zhong Qiran opened the box, he found that it was a pair of rings. The initials of the two people were engraved on the inside of the ring, as well as a note of blessing: wooden marriage, the fifth anniversary of marriage.

Seeing the above words, Zhong Qi couldn't help but have a sore nose, tears were already streaming down his face.This was prepared by Yan Hao for them four years ago, but he has not gotten it until now.

The two met for eight years, married for four years, separated for three years, and did not reunite until the last year.There are countless mistakes and mistakes, but fortunately, none of them really gave up.

Yan Hao said: "It's too late, I don't know if it's still too late."

Zhong Qi wiped away his tears, but shook his head and said, "It's too late."

Yan Hao stared at him.

Zhong Qiran said: "I'll take it first. But you have to wait five years before you are eligible to wear it."

Yan Hao said: "I will wait for five years, ten years, and 20 years."

Zhong Qiran shook his head again, and said half-jokingly: "After ten or twenty years, I will change to a bigger one, and each time it will be bigger than the last one."

After he himself finished speaking, he also found it funny and couldn't help laughing out.Then he turned his head and seemed to see Yan Hao smiling at him.

"it is good."
