Let it age
Chapter 7
, "I am teasing you about this."
"What did you say?"
"I said, I made this up. That kid is called Yang Jingjie. He is married and a new dad. They have a good relationship, but it's not what I said. I said that at the time, It's just to give you a little motivation, otherwise you can appear here now?"
As soon as he heard the truth of the matter, Ao Junzhi immediately became angry.
"I'll settle this account with you later!"
Pushing Miki's shoulder, Ao Jun returned to the office in a huff.
During the lunch break, Ao Junzhi tossed and turned on the folding bed, unable to fall asleep.
It's not that I'm angry that I recognized the wrong person, but that I'm still so angry that I can't let go of Zhou Tingrang.
Boom, the secretary knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
"Director Ao, I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"
"No, what's the matter?"
"Well, there is a gentleman at the door of the company looking for you..."
"Who?"
"Downstairs from Hengtong Company..."
As soon as he heard that it was prosperous, Ao Junzhi rushed out immediately.
Pushing open the door of the company, I saw Zhou Tingrang standing at the door cautiously carrying a small bag. Ao Junzhi was very excited but didn't want to show it too obviously.
"You're here? I thought you wouldn't see me."
"You... why did you come to me all of a sudden?"
"Give you."
Zhou Tingrang handed the plastic bag to Ao Junzhi without saying anything.
Ao Junzhi unwrapped it suspiciously, and found that there were various medicines for fever, cold, cough and runny nose inside, and his heart felt warm all of a sudden.
"It rained so much yesterday, get well soon and don't delay work."
Zhou Tingrang gave some instructions in a low voice, then turned and walked towards the stairwell.
Looking at Zhou Tingrang's back, Ao Junzhi knew that he was moved, and also knew that his persistence had been completely disintegrated, but this indifferent feeling really drove Ao Junzhi crazy.
The hands holding the plastic bag couldn't help shaking, Ao Junzhi asked unwillingly.
"What did Zhou Ting ask you to..."
—— "Who else but you!!!"
This time Zhou Tingrang didn't hesitate at all, and even reacted before Ao Junzhi finished speaking, and it was a very violent reaction, turning around suddenly and roaring at Ao Junzhi.
"... what... what..."
Ao Junzhi was dumbfounded by the roar, and even more dumbfounded by the hot tears bursting on Zhou Tingrang's face.
"The person who is qualified to take care of me for the rest of my life! Who else but you!"
After speaking, Zhou Tingrang wiped away his tears and ran to the stairwell.
It took three seconds for Ao Junzhi to realize that the miracle had come, he grabbed the bag in his hand and immediately chased after him, blocking Zhou Tingrang in the empty corridor.
"Ting Rang! Ting Rang! Don't go! You... what did you just say... I, I, I..."
Ao Junzhi became incoherent with excitement.
"Ao Junzhi, you don't know anything at all, you don't know anything!"
"Ting Rang, I was wrong, I was wrong, I really didn't know that you treated me too... I, I, I thought..."
"What do you think? Have you heard what I said about this matter from beginning to end?"
"I'm sorry, I'm just not confident, I don't believe how important I am to you..."
"You're not important? You're not important. Why was you all on my mind last night? Yes, I found out about Chen Baijiang's whereabouts and the news of his marriage. So, do you think I'm going to die because of him? Is it?"
"Ting Rang...you..."
It was the first time from Zhou Tingrang's mouth to hear such an indifferent attitude towards Chen Baijiang, as if he was talking about someone he didn't know at all, Ao Junzhi was very surprised and was at a loss for words for a while.
"I don't know what's wrong with me," Zhou Tingrang calmed down, leaned his back against the wall, and said in a low voice, "When you accompanied me to take care of my dad, I didn't think about anything. I just feel that there is one more friend in my life who can tell my heart, but after you left, I realized that you are not just a friend who can talk to me. But so what, you are so far away, I I can only tell myself, don’t repeat the same mistakes again and do unnecessary waiting. I thought I was used to it, but you suddenly appeared in front of me like this, I, I... I really don’t know what to do!”
Zhou Tingrang burst into tears as he spoke, Ao Junzhi felt distressed and ashamed of his selfishness.
"I'm sorry Ting Rang, I misunderstood you...I understand your fear, I understand your considerations, I understand all of these...It's just that I was too impulsive and anxious, and forgot all of these...It's all me fault..."
Ao Junzhi approached involuntarily, and stretched out his hand to embrace the helpless Zhou Ting into his arms.
But Zhou Tingrang dodged to the side reflexively.
"Well, Junzhi," Zhou Tingrang buried his head shyly, not daring to look at Ao Junzhi, "Can you...give me some time...I might...haven't...not..."
Ao Junzhi knows that Zhou Tingrang needs more time and space than ordinary people to take the step beyond the relationship, and the wound has a healing process, so Ao Junzhi is willing to wait patiently.
"It's okay, I've been waiting for many years," Ao Junzhi gently held Zhou Tingrang's shoulders, and asked him to look up at his firm eyes. "In the past ten years, you have waited too hard. In the days to come, Let me wait instead."
In this way, all the angry words Miki said before being notified by Ao Junzhi did not count, but no matter how much he asked, Ao Junzhi refused to let go and tell him what happened in the middle.
With Zhou Tingrang clearing away the clouds and haze, Ao Junzhi's daily life is full of dazzling sunshine and fresh breath.
With the one-year savings in the United States, he officially bought a suite. Ao Junzhi settled his home in the apartment complex next to the office building, which is opposite to Zhou Tingrang’s home. Of course, he said that he was close to the company and convenient for work, but in reality, what are you thinking? It's all clear.
After the official handover of the house, Ao Junzhi called Zhou Tingrang, and Miki Xiaoqi came to help decorate the house, and by the way gave advice on the layout of the house. Of course, Zhou Tingrang's idea was based on serious consideration, and Miki Xiaoqi came to make soy sauce.
"Then what, paint, brushes, buckets, ladders, I bought them all for you."
"Thank you buddy, I will work hard for you two today, and treat you to a big meal tonight!"
"It doesn't matter if we work hard, but you need to renovate such a big house, why don't you just hire a decoration team? You are not short of money."
"You don't understand that, me, I mainly want to hear how Kanting Rang wants to pretend, but the question is about our relationship now, and I'm too embarrassed to ask, don't I just want to hear about it in the name of decoration?" What did he think, when the plan is figured out, of course I will immediately hire a decoration team to figure it out."
"You think a lot."
"That must be. Tingrang and I have just sprouted this little seedling. How can we care for it carelessly?"
Seeing Ao Junzhi's happy face, Miki didn't interrupt again, but Xiaoqi, who had been busy just now and didn't interrupt much, suddenly became interested and walked up to Ao Junzhi in a serious manner.
"Hello, Ao Junzhi."
I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this little boy's gourd, so Ao Junzhi has no choice but to gesture for him to speak directly.
"I used to hate you, but I see that you have done so much for Xiao Rang over the years, and now you care about him so much. I think you are quite reliable. From now on, you have to treat Xiao Rang well." , or I will fight with you."
"Okay, Seven Heroes, I promise you, I will treat you well, brother Rang, and I will not let you have the opportunity to find me desperately."
"Ah."
Seeing Xiao Qi's serious and cute appearance, Miki fondled his head, then reminded Ao Junzhi as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Why hasn't Ting Rang come here yet? Didn't you notify him?"
"Notified."
"Then why hasn't he come here yet?"
"Because I informed you at 11 o'clock."
"What? Then why did you call us here at 8 o'clock!"
"I think our family should let us sleep in for a while. After the dirty and tiring work is done by both of you, he won't have to do anything when he comes over again."
"Ao Junzhi, your uncle!!!"
At 11:[-], Ao Junzhi took off his overalls for painting, bounced around, and knocked on the door of the hot pot restaurant across the road.
After a while, Zhou Shiliang came out to open the door, and saw that it was Ao Junzhi who came, and he was so surprised that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear.
"Hello, Uncle Zhou!"
Ao Junzhi spread a big smile and greeted Zhou Shiliang politely.
"Xiao, Xiao Ao? Why are you? Have you come back from America?"
"Well! I'm completely, completely back, and I will never leave again!"
Ao Junzhi's sentence seemed to be a joke, but Zhou Shiliang understood what he was determined to do.
To be honest, when Ao Junzhi left, Zhou Shiliang only regarded him as a passer-by who had a fate with his family, but this time he came back, with such a vowed promise, Zhou Shiliang began to believe that this fate was destined to continue .
Perhaps, what he and Song Hui were worried about back then will become the most fortunate thing in the future.
"Come, come! Come in, Xiao Ao! Come and find Ting Rang? He's still brushing his teeth, I'll call him for you."
After washing up and coming out, Zhou Ting asked him to see that it was Ao Junzhi who came, and he felt a little nervous unconsciously.
"Miki and Xiaoqi...are they here?"
"They're all here, just waiting for you, let's go."
—— "Xiao Ao, I heard from Xiao Rang that you are going to renovate the house? Uncle Liang used to do this, do you want to go together and help you?"
"Oh, Uncle Zhou, I appreciate your kindness! But you have finally recovered so well, you should pay more attention at ordinary times. When my house is renovated, I will definitely invite you to host the housewarming banquet!"
"Hahahaha... that's fine, you young people should also pay attention, don't get hurt."
"Hey! Don't worry! I will protect Ting Rang!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Tingrang blushed immediately.
"I have arms and legs, why do I need your protection..."
After poking Ao Junzhi's elbow, Zhou Tingrang went downstairs while muttering.
"Hey, then, uncle, let's go first."
So Ao Junzhi followed Zhou Ting with a playful smile on his buttocks and crossed the road.
Walking into the elevator of the apartment, Ao Junzhi pressed the 12th floor, and Zhou Tingrang suddenly asked curiously.
"Before I just came out... what did you talk to my dad about?"
"Well... I just told my uncle that I don't plan to leave when I come back to City S this time. I want to make a home here and never leave again."
As Ao Junzhi spoke, he looked at Zhou Tingrang with determination and affection, and Zhou Tingrang's heart was filled with emotion.
Because the love that Zhou Tingrang needs most is never to leave.
Entering the new house, I saw that Miki and Xiaoqi's faces were already covered in paint. Ao Junzhi felt that they were really good brothers, and they spared no effort in their lives.
As soon as Zhou Tingrang greeted the two of them, Ao Junzhi took him to the bedroom to paint.
"Ting Rang, what color do you think this room looks good on?"
"Swipe whatever you like."
"I...I like too many colors, you can help me choose, choose the color you like."
"Well... for myself, I prefer beige, but I don't know if it matches your room."
"Go! Go! Go! Definitely go! Then paint off-white!"
Then the two set up a ladder and brushed up layer by layer.
By the time the two of them finished the whole room, they were already out of breath.
"Also... How many rooms are there to be painted?"
Zhou Tingrang leaned on the ladder and asked Ao Junzhi exhaustedly.
"Uh, there's one more bedroom, one study room, and two bathrooms that don't need to be painted when the tiles are installed..."
"No, you said you live alone, why did you buy such a big house? Don't you think it's a waste?"
Zhou Tingrang really couldn't understand Ao Junzhi's consumption concerns on housing.
"How can it be a waste?" Ao Junzhi suddenly looked at Zhou Tingrang mysteriously, with an unconcealable smile on his lips, "One day there will be two people."
Responding to Ao Junzhi's hint, Zhou Tingrang suddenly felt a heat in his heart, and the result was that his ears and neck were completely red.
"I, I... I'll go see how Miki Xiaoqi and the others are doing..."
After saying that, Zhou Tingrang buried his head and fled out of the bedroom.
In a blink of an eye, it's the end of the year again.
This time, Ao Junzhi finally realized a problem that he and Zhou Ting had ignored for a long time.
That is, Zhou Tingrang's birthday.
He secretly asked Zhou Shiliang that December 12th was Zhou Tingrang's birthday, and Ao Junzhi had racked his brains to prepare for it a week in advance.
At noon, Ao Junzhi deliberately told Zhou Tingrang that he would not be able to have dinner with him at noon today under the pretext of going out to talk about clients. In fact, he dragged Miki to a restaurant outside to discuss plans to celebrate his birthday.
"Hurry up, love expert, recommend me some romantic ways to celebrate my birthday, I haven't been in love for hundreds of years, it's really a bit unfamiliar."
"Comrade Ao Junzhi, please allow me to remind you kindly that you, now, are not in love, and at best can only be regarded as unrequited love."
"Damn, I don't want to poke people's hearts like this. But Comrade Miki, let me remind you kindly. If I get it right this time, I'm very likely to officially fall in love."
"Okay, it's the brother's unshirkable responsibility to contribute to the flames. Let me help you think about it... How about this, you take the court to watch a movie!"
"See a movie?"
"Yeah, as far as I know, Ting Rang hasn't watched many movies until now, so watching movies is definitely romantic for you two! Moreover, it seems that some youth movies have been released recently, which are very suitable for couples to watch."
"Pull it down, you said those youth pain movies? The youth between me and Ting Rang was so painful! Do you still want us to expose our scars?"
"Oh, yes, yes, the youth of you two is not very good. Then what should I do? I can't think of any good way."
"Actually, I just want to know what wish Tingrang has for him. I want to help him realize a wish every year on his birthday."
"How did you find out? Look through his diary? He doesn't write a diary. Read his Weibo? He doesn't play Weibo. That's all wrong."
"Huh?" Ao Junzhi stared at Miki suddenly, his eyes lit up, "I have a solution!"
"Why are you staring at me? Why are you betraying me?"
"Sell your position."
"what?"
"Think about it, don't you ask their company's HR? Just like this, organize a wish collection event, say to enhance the relationship between employees, show the company's care for employees, and ask each of them to write a wish card, so that Can't I know what Ting Rang wishes for?"
"Fuck, are you asking me to abuse my power?"
"It's not something that harms the company's interests. What's wrong with you doing brother a favor? Besides, who just said that it is the duty-bound responsibility of brother to add fuel to the flames?"
Miki slapped himself.
"Look at my cheap mouth."
The next day, a card appeared on Ao Junzhi's desk.
"Here you are, Grandpa, I have hundreds of them in my office just to pick out this one for you!"
"Brother, this friendship, buddy, keep it in mind, you can decide what to eat at night."
"Then I'll eat you up."
"no problem."
As soon as Miki left, Ao Junzhi couldn't wait to open the card.
I saw a line written clearly on the card.
"Look at the sunrise that day again."
Suddenly, a picture that made people blush and heartbeat came to mind.
The beach that day, the sunshine that day, the face that was so close, and the breath that was so close.
It turned out that Ting Rang had always remembered.
Just like I always remember.
It turned out that his wish was me.
I am very blessed.
Almost jumped up from the seat so happy, Ao Junzhi hurriedly planned the route, made up a series of possible plots that might happen that day, and then seriously practiced the affectionate confession that he had no chance to say at that time.
On the day of his birthday, Ao Junzhi left all the light bulbs and followers behind and drove Zhou Tingrang to the beach at that time alone.
In the evening, the two of them set up their own tents, set up a bonfire, and roasted delicious food in the afterglow of the setting sun. They also drank the fine red wine that Ao Junzhi specially ordered from Miki, chatting happily about the company of all kinds of fun.
Seeing that the sky was completely dark, Ao Junzhi went to the back seat of the car to fetch a custom-made cake and lit candles for Zhou Tingrang.
"Happy birthday to you - happy birthday to you - HappybirthdaytoXiaoRang - happy birthday to you!"
The most sincere smile on Ao Junzhi's pretty face, and him behind the candlelight, singing the melodious birthday song, all these left an unforgettable imprint on Zhou Tingrang's heart.
"Oh! Classmate Zhou Tingrang, I wish you a happy birthday! Come on! You can make a wish!"
Putting his hands together, Zhou Ting asked him to close his eyes devoutly and make a long-awaited wish.
"Blow out the candles!"
"call--"
All the candles were extinguished, and Ao Junzhi burst into warm applause in response to the occasion.
"Believe it or not, I know what you wished just now."
"Ah? How is that possible?"
"You'll know tomorrow morning."
Ao Junzhi blinked his starry eyes reservedly.
Serving the most delicious part of the cake to Zhou Tingrang, Zhou Tingrang took a sip of the sweet taste, and moved his whole chest.
"Junzhi, thank you."
"Hey, thank you, making you happy is my happiest thing."
Ao Junzhi also sat back on the small bench and took a bite of the delicious cake.
"To be honest, I only had a happy birthday when my mother was there. Later, I was so busy that I forgot about it myself. Thank you for giving me such a great memory today."
"But having said that, birthdays are really called birthdays when I was a child. Nowadays, people celebrate their birthdays with all kinds of parties, which are crazy and noisy. When they go, they only get drunk. It's actually quite boring. Like this , Seriously, to say to someone sincerely, happy birthday, is an experience that I haven’t experienced for a long time.”
The two looked at each other with a smile of understanding, and happily ate the cake.
"Hey, how do I remember?" Zhou Tingrang might be in a good mood, and suddenly wanted to play tricks on Ao Junzhi, "When we were young, we celebrated birthdays. Besides singing birthday songs, blowing out candles, and eating cakes, there seemed to be another activity. .”
"What else is there?"
"That's it..." Zhou Tingrang approached Ao Junzhi suddenly with a strange smile, "This event! Hahahaha..."
Smearing the cream on Ao Junzhi's face, Zhou Tingrang laughed and ran away.
"Damn it! Zhou Ting asked me to tell you! The birthday star is the one who should be wiped!"
Taking advantage of the situation, Ao Junzhi also grabbed a handful of butter and followed Zhou Tingrang directly to catch up.
"Ah! Ah!"
Unable to bear Ao Junzhi's muscular body, Zhou Tingrang was captured by an eagle like a chicken in an instant, and with a slap on the face, he immediately turned into a little cat.
"Ao Junzhi! Ao Junzhi! Wait a minute! Truce! Truce!"
Making a gesture of crossing his hands, Zhou Tingrang used delaying tactics to stop Ao Junzhi's endless attacks on him.
"Well, I suddenly remembered something about you."
"what's up?"
"When you were in junior high school, did you participate in a sports meeting once?"
"It seems to be...in the second year of junior high school."
"Well, run 100 meters, I am No.1, and you are last."
"What! I, Ao Batian, am also good at sports, okay?"
"Don't brag, I still have the certificate from that year at home, I won't remember it wrong."
"Well, you remember correctly, our team was short of people that time, so I had to make up the numbers."
"As a result, you ran last from the bottom."
"I have already done my best."
"Then, let's try again now."
"what?"
"Why, don't you want to?"
"No, we're all old and old now, so don't mess around."
"Hmm..." Zhou Ting made Gu Lingling roll his eyes strangely, "If you win the race, I will grant one of your wishes."
"what?!"
Ao Jun's morale increased greatly.
"I said, if you win, I will grant you one wish."
In the next second, Ao Junzhi knelt down and took the starting position.
"let's start."
"puff……"
Thinking Ao Junzhi's reaction was too funny, Zhou Tingrang couldn't help laughing.
"Hurry up, let me show you Mushroom Head's counterattack."
"Okay, there is a rock over there, see if you see it, whoever gets there first will win."
"OK."
"start!"
The two of them bounced off like bullets with a bang.
Along the way, Ao Junzhi maintained the advantage. Zhou Tingrang didn't expect Ao Junzhi to be so powerful now. When he ran to the last ten meters, he began to panic, so a thought flashed in his mind, and Zhou Tingrang did it intuitively.
"what!"
Half-kneeling on the beach, Zhou Tingrang covered his mouth and ankle with a face of pain.
Ao Junzhi, who was about to reach the finish line, heard Zhou Tingrang's wailing, and quickly turned back, looking at Zhou Tingrang's ankle with concern.
"What's the matter? Where is the injury? Let me have a look. I told you not to act..."
Before Ao Junzhi finished speaking, Zhou Tingrang shot out like an arrow from a bow, and before Ao Junzhi could react, he was already waving and shouting beside the reef.
"Hahahahaha... I won! I won!"
"Wow! Damn! Zhou Tingrang, I didn't expect you to play this hand with me? It's too cunning! I protest! The result of the competition is unfair! I want to report to the organizing committee!"
"I am the organizing committee."
"Depend on……"
Ao Junzhi's acting skills exploded, and he sat down on the ground to cheat.
"I promised to fulfill one of my wishes. I had already won. It was your fake moves that caused me to lose the gold medal. Give me my wish and give me my wish!"
Seeing Ao Junzhi's anger like a child, Zhou Tingrang only thought it was cute, walked over and bent down to stroke Ao Junzhi's head, and asked gently.
"Little friend, what is your wish? Tell the teacher, and the teacher will consider whether you want to help you realize it."
"Are you serious?"
Ao Junzhi ignited hope again, and bounced with a bang.
"Tell me about it."
"Hmm...my wish is..." Ao Junzhi pointed embarrassingly at the tent they had set up not far away, "tonight, let's live in the same tent."
Zhou Tingrang kicked Ao Junzhi's thigh hard.
"Ao Junzhi! You stinky rascal!"
"Hiss... No, I haven't finished talking yet, it's a tent and two sleeping bags! Two sleeping bags!!!"
He knew that Ao Junzhi had no other intentions, but Zhou Tingrang just thought it was fun to tease him, so the two chased each other on the beach for a long time, and they went back to the tent to rest when they were exhausted and out of breath.
As they wished, they put away a tent. At this moment, Ao Junzhi and Zhou Tingrang were lying in the same tent, looking at the sky full of stars above their heads. This kind of pleasant peace made people want to fix time in this moment forever.
"Ting Rang, sleep well, I will call you tomorrow morning to help you realize your wish."
"OK, good night."
"Good night."
Early the next morning, Ao Junzhi only felt a splitting headache, and opened his eyes in a daze, and the surroundings were already bright.
"What the hell...is the sun already out?"
Sitting up with his head propped up, Ao Junzhi found that there was no one next to Zhou Tingrang, so he quickly unzipped the tent, only to see Zhou Tingrang cooking soup on a fire outside.
"Awake?"
Zhou Tingrang smiled so hard that Ao Junzhi could not wait to find a hole in the ground and go down.
"I'm sorry, Ting Rang, I was going to watch the sunrise with you. I don't know what happened. I suddenly felt dizzy. It's been a while since I woke up. Don't you blame me?"
"No, actually I got up late too, and I didn't see the sunrise at all."
In the end, the two had no choice but to take this regret and set off to return to the urban area.
Considering Ao Junzhi's dizziness, Zhou Ting let him drive this time. Ao Junzhi sat in the co-pilot, closed his eyes and reflected angrily, and kept blaming himself for how he could sleep through such an important moment.
"Junzhi, are you still angry with yourself? Oh, it's okay. The sun rises every day. You can come again next time you have a chance."
"But this time it's your birthday, which has a special meaning."
"Then you misunderstood my wish."
"Ok?"
"My wish is to watch the sunrise that day again. First of all, this proposition is untenable. The sunrise of that day has passed, and it is impossible to see it again. Therefore, what is meaningful is not that day, nor is it that day. Come out, you know what I mean."
After understanding Zhou Tingrang's words, Ao Junzhi suddenly felt sweet in his heart, so the dark clouds on his face dissipated immediately, and he nodded happily towards Zhou Tingrang.
"But how did you know my wish?"
Zhou Tingrang finally got to the point of the question, and Ao Junzhi immediately pretended to be asleep based on the principle that he could not be beaten but could be avoided.
Looking at Ao Junzhi's reaction amusedly, Zhou Tingrang didn't ask any more questions, anyway, as long as he had such happy memories from yesterday, that's enough.
When he got home, Ao Junzhi hurriedly called Miki to ask what was going on.
"What? You didn't have anything to do last night? Then I'm too sorry for the wine I gave you!"
"Is there something wrong with the wine you gave me? Tell me!"
"Oh, I was just thinking about such a romantic day yesterday, right? I wanted to give you an assist, so I changed the packaging of the red wine. The two bottles I gave you are the strongest and the most powerful. You kid didn't drink at the critical moment, and even fell asleep, I was also drunk."
Ao Jun slapped himself across the face.
"I'm not careful in making friends..."
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and June is approaching. Unknowingly, Zhou Tingrang has been in university for four years. Today is the day to bid farewell to the campus and usher in graduation.
Putting on the long-awaited bachelor's uniform, Zhou Tingrang took tears with tears in his eyes to take graduation photos with the department leaders and classmates. Zhou Shiliang and Tan Ma, Song Hui and Guan Tingting, as well as Miki and Xiaoqi, all came to congratulate.
Of course, it was Ao Junzhi who attracted the most attention.
It's just that this person has not yet appeared on the scene.
"Hey, I've heard. It's been a lot of fun going back and forth between Ao Junzhi and our family this year. What about others? Today is such an important day, why don't you see him?"
In order to answer Song Hui's doubts, Miki hurriedly stood up and gave a special explanation.
"Then what, Junzhi said, his status is about to be different from ours, so he won't come to celebrate with us for the time being, and he has special arrangements after the court ceremony is over."
"This guy is really funny, and he's about to be different. I want to see if he can be different today."
At this moment, Ao Junzhi, who has ordered flowers and prepared balloons, is preparing a confession of the century on the lawn behind the auditorium.
Knowing that Zhou Tingrang doesn't like high-profile, but he can't help but create romance, so Ao Junzhi specially surveyed the terrain several days in advance, and finally chose this perfect place.
"On the day I returned to China, I didn't confess. On Ting Rang's birthday, I didn't confess. It's only three things, so I don't believe I can't confess today!"
Two hours passed, and the ceremony was over. Ao Junzhi guessed that Zhou Tingrang was coming soon, so he stood up from the lawn, tidied his clothes, and then moved the balloon pile behind him.
But who knows that at this moment a gust of evil wind hits, and the balloon rope tied firmly is blown away with a bang, Ao Junzhi's wailing won't be like this, he can only watch the balloons fly away.
"Junzhi!"
Zhou Tingrang's hearty voice came from behind, Ao Junzhi turned his head and became nervous for no reason.
"Ting Rang, are you here?"
boom--
There was a huge thunder in the sky, and in an instant, dark clouds were covered, and the lightning cracked, and within a few seconds, the torrential rain poured down, and the flowers in Ao Jun's hands also withered in an instant.
"Ting Rang, I..."
The sincerity is blocked in his throat and he can't say it. Although Ao Junzhi really wants to shake out all the lines he has prepared, but seeing Zhou Tingrang getting wet by the heavy rain in front of him, Ao Junzhi really can't bear it. It made him sick, so I had to give up.
"...Let's go hide from the rain."
Pulling Zhou Tingrang into the teaching building to squeeze the water out of his clothes, Ao Junzhi became depressed again.
After thousands of calculations, I actually missed that this month is the rainy season. Why did I forget to choose an indoor place?
Alas, it's been three times. Could it be that I have never had the fate to confess to the court in my life?
"Junzhi, you called me to the back of the auditorium just now, do you have something to tell me?"
Faced with Zhou Tingrang's curiosity, Ao Junzhi looked at his image reflected in the glass completely destroyed, and decided to find another opportunity to confess to Zhou Tingrang.
"Uh...it's nothing, I just want to tell you, happy graduation! I've been watching you since you first entered Jiaotong University, and I know how difficult it is for you to study for the past four years. Now you have finally made it through and become a real graduate I am now a college student, so I want to congratulate you and tell you that you are the best person I have ever met."
"Thank you, Junzhi."
One week after the graduation ceremony, Zhou Tingrang completed all the graduation procedures from Jiaotong University, and received a call from Hengtong Company as soon as he got home, congratulating him on successfully passing the internship assessment and officially entering the probationary period.
Zhou Tingrang shared the good news with everyone immediately, and within a few minutes Ao Junzhi knocked on the door.
"Hey? Shouldn't you be at work at this time?"
"You are such a great event, of course I have to ask for leave to celebrate with you!"
"Oh no, you go back to work quickly, in the evening, let's celebrate in the evening."
"Then, can you leave me alone at night? I... want to take you somewhere. "
"Okay, I'll tell dad and brother."
"Well! Then I'll come pick you up after work!"
He had never been so eager to get off work so early in a day. When Ao Junzhi saw the second hand of the clock reached six o'clock, he rushed out of the building like a gust of wind. After picking up the car, he drove directly to the hot pot restaurant and honked his horn.
After a while Zhou Tingrang ran down and got into the car.
"Where are we going now?"
"Hey, tonight there is a concert at the Suburban Performing Arts Center. The singers we liked when we were young are all here. I think you must like to listen to it, so I bought two tickets."
"They are really my favorite singers."
"Yes, do you understand me? Let's go, let's have a meal first, and we'll go there after we're done."
To be honest, after the previous three setbacks, Ao Junzhi is already holding a grudge against the confession.
And I don't want to make any more fuss in the short term. For example, tonight, I just want to reminisce about my youth with Zhou Tingrang.
The atmosphere of the concert was intense, and the encore continued. By the time everyone left, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
Ao Junzhi and Zhou Tingrang heard the last call, so when they came out, the crowd had dispersed, because it was the outskirts of the city, and there were no people on the street, so they walked side by side to the parking place .
"I didn't expect that after so many years, I still feel so much when listening to those songs before."
"Yeah, our idols are getting old, and we're growing up too."
"You said, if you at the age of 13 knew that so many things would happen between us in the future, would you still bully me at the age of 13?"
"Maybe...the bullying will be even more fierce, because I know there is no bullying now."
"Yeah, now you see gangsters take a knife and run away. If you are 13 years old, if you know how cowardly you are now, you must feel ashamed."
"You're wrong, it's not cowardice," Zhou Tingrang suddenly stopped in place, and looked at Ao Junzhi seriously, "It's not that I've become timid, and it's not that I can't move anymore, it's just that you are with me everywhere now. I feel protected when I'm around, so this ability to go all out is lost."
After Zhou Tingrang finished speaking, he turned his head and continued walking. After walking two steps, he found that Ao Junzhi hadn't followed, and turned back again. Zhou Tingrang waved his hand in front of Ao Junzhi's eyes.
"What's your reaction? Don't you want to go back on what you said? You said you want to protect..."
"Protect you for the rest of your life."
do not know either
"What did you say?"
"I said, I made this up. That kid is called Yang Jingjie. He is married and a new dad. They have a good relationship, but it's not what I said. I said that at the time, It's just to give you a little motivation, otherwise you can appear here now?"
As soon as he heard the truth of the matter, Ao Junzhi immediately became angry.
"I'll settle this account with you later!"
Pushing Miki's shoulder, Ao Jun returned to the office in a huff.
During the lunch break, Ao Junzhi tossed and turned on the folding bed, unable to fall asleep.
It's not that I'm angry that I recognized the wrong person, but that I'm still so angry that I can't let go of Zhou Tingrang.
Boom, the secretary knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
"Director Ao, I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"
"No, what's the matter?"
"Well, there is a gentleman at the door of the company looking for you..."
"Who?"
"Downstairs from Hengtong Company..."
As soon as he heard that it was prosperous, Ao Junzhi rushed out immediately.
Pushing open the door of the company, I saw Zhou Tingrang standing at the door cautiously carrying a small bag. Ao Junzhi was very excited but didn't want to show it too obviously.
"You're here? I thought you wouldn't see me."
"You... why did you come to me all of a sudden?"
"Give you."
Zhou Tingrang handed the plastic bag to Ao Junzhi without saying anything.
Ao Junzhi unwrapped it suspiciously, and found that there were various medicines for fever, cold, cough and runny nose inside, and his heart felt warm all of a sudden.
"It rained so much yesterday, get well soon and don't delay work."
Zhou Tingrang gave some instructions in a low voice, then turned and walked towards the stairwell.
Looking at Zhou Tingrang's back, Ao Junzhi knew that he was moved, and also knew that his persistence had been completely disintegrated, but this indifferent feeling really drove Ao Junzhi crazy.
The hands holding the plastic bag couldn't help shaking, Ao Junzhi asked unwillingly.
"What did Zhou Ting ask you to..."
—— "Who else but you!!!"
This time Zhou Tingrang didn't hesitate at all, and even reacted before Ao Junzhi finished speaking, and it was a very violent reaction, turning around suddenly and roaring at Ao Junzhi.
"... what... what..."
Ao Junzhi was dumbfounded by the roar, and even more dumbfounded by the hot tears bursting on Zhou Tingrang's face.
"The person who is qualified to take care of me for the rest of my life! Who else but you!"
After speaking, Zhou Tingrang wiped away his tears and ran to the stairwell.
It took three seconds for Ao Junzhi to realize that the miracle had come, he grabbed the bag in his hand and immediately chased after him, blocking Zhou Tingrang in the empty corridor.
"Ting Rang! Ting Rang! Don't go! You... what did you just say... I, I, I..."
Ao Junzhi became incoherent with excitement.
"Ao Junzhi, you don't know anything at all, you don't know anything!"
"Ting Rang, I was wrong, I was wrong, I really didn't know that you treated me too... I, I, I thought..."
"What do you think? Have you heard what I said about this matter from beginning to end?"
"I'm sorry, I'm just not confident, I don't believe how important I am to you..."
"You're not important? You're not important. Why was you all on my mind last night? Yes, I found out about Chen Baijiang's whereabouts and the news of his marriage. So, do you think I'm going to die because of him? Is it?"
"Ting Rang...you..."
It was the first time from Zhou Tingrang's mouth to hear such an indifferent attitude towards Chen Baijiang, as if he was talking about someone he didn't know at all, Ao Junzhi was very surprised and was at a loss for words for a while.
"I don't know what's wrong with me," Zhou Tingrang calmed down, leaned his back against the wall, and said in a low voice, "When you accompanied me to take care of my dad, I didn't think about anything. I just feel that there is one more friend in my life who can tell my heart, but after you left, I realized that you are not just a friend who can talk to me. But so what, you are so far away, I I can only tell myself, don’t repeat the same mistakes again and do unnecessary waiting. I thought I was used to it, but you suddenly appeared in front of me like this, I, I... I really don’t know what to do!”
Zhou Tingrang burst into tears as he spoke, Ao Junzhi felt distressed and ashamed of his selfishness.
"I'm sorry Ting Rang, I misunderstood you...I understand your fear, I understand your considerations, I understand all of these...It's just that I was too impulsive and anxious, and forgot all of these...It's all me fault..."
Ao Junzhi approached involuntarily, and stretched out his hand to embrace the helpless Zhou Ting into his arms.
But Zhou Tingrang dodged to the side reflexively.
"Well, Junzhi," Zhou Tingrang buried his head shyly, not daring to look at Ao Junzhi, "Can you...give me some time...I might...haven't...not..."
Ao Junzhi knows that Zhou Tingrang needs more time and space than ordinary people to take the step beyond the relationship, and the wound has a healing process, so Ao Junzhi is willing to wait patiently.
"It's okay, I've been waiting for many years," Ao Junzhi gently held Zhou Tingrang's shoulders, and asked him to look up at his firm eyes. "In the past ten years, you have waited too hard. In the days to come, Let me wait instead."
In this way, all the angry words Miki said before being notified by Ao Junzhi did not count, but no matter how much he asked, Ao Junzhi refused to let go and tell him what happened in the middle.
With Zhou Tingrang clearing away the clouds and haze, Ao Junzhi's daily life is full of dazzling sunshine and fresh breath.
With the one-year savings in the United States, he officially bought a suite. Ao Junzhi settled his home in the apartment complex next to the office building, which is opposite to Zhou Tingrang’s home. Of course, he said that he was close to the company and convenient for work, but in reality, what are you thinking? It's all clear.
After the official handover of the house, Ao Junzhi called Zhou Tingrang, and Miki Xiaoqi came to help decorate the house, and by the way gave advice on the layout of the house. Of course, Zhou Tingrang's idea was based on serious consideration, and Miki Xiaoqi came to make soy sauce.
"Then what, paint, brushes, buckets, ladders, I bought them all for you."
"Thank you buddy, I will work hard for you two today, and treat you to a big meal tonight!"
"It doesn't matter if we work hard, but you need to renovate such a big house, why don't you just hire a decoration team? You are not short of money."
"You don't understand that, me, I mainly want to hear how Kanting Rang wants to pretend, but the question is about our relationship now, and I'm too embarrassed to ask, don't I just want to hear about it in the name of decoration?" What did he think, when the plan is figured out, of course I will immediately hire a decoration team to figure it out."
"You think a lot."
"That must be. Tingrang and I have just sprouted this little seedling. How can we care for it carelessly?"
Seeing Ao Junzhi's happy face, Miki didn't interrupt again, but Xiaoqi, who had been busy just now and didn't interrupt much, suddenly became interested and walked up to Ao Junzhi in a serious manner.
"Hello, Ao Junzhi."
I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this little boy's gourd, so Ao Junzhi has no choice but to gesture for him to speak directly.
"I used to hate you, but I see that you have done so much for Xiao Rang over the years, and now you care about him so much. I think you are quite reliable. From now on, you have to treat Xiao Rang well." , or I will fight with you."
"Okay, Seven Heroes, I promise you, I will treat you well, brother Rang, and I will not let you have the opportunity to find me desperately."
"Ah."
Seeing Xiao Qi's serious and cute appearance, Miki fondled his head, then reminded Ao Junzhi as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Why hasn't Ting Rang come here yet? Didn't you notify him?"
"Notified."
"Then why hasn't he come here yet?"
"Because I informed you at 11 o'clock."
"What? Then why did you call us here at 8 o'clock!"
"I think our family should let us sleep in for a while. After the dirty and tiring work is done by both of you, he won't have to do anything when he comes over again."
"Ao Junzhi, your uncle!!!"
At 11:[-], Ao Junzhi took off his overalls for painting, bounced around, and knocked on the door of the hot pot restaurant across the road.
After a while, Zhou Shiliang came out to open the door, and saw that it was Ao Junzhi who came, and he was so surprised that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear.
"Hello, Uncle Zhou!"
Ao Junzhi spread a big smile and greeted Zhou Shiliang politely.
"Xiao, Xiao Ao? Why are you? Have you come back from America?"
"Well! I'm completely, completely back, and I will never leave again!"
Ao Junzhi's sentence seemed to be a joke, but Zhou Shiliang understood what he was determined to do.
To be honest, when Ao Junzhi left, Zhou Shiliang only regarded him as a passer-by who had a fate with his family, but this time he came back, with such a vowed promise, Zhou Shiliang began to believe that this fate was destined to continue .
Perhaps, what he and Song Hui were worried about back then will become the most fortunate thing in the future.
"Come, come! Come in, Xiao Ao! Come and find Ting Rang? He's still brushing his teeth, I'll call him for you."
After washing up and coming out, Zhou Ting asked him to see that it was Ao Junzhi who came, and he felt a little nervous unconsciously.
"Miki and Xiaoqi...are they here?"
"They're all here, just waiting for you, let's go."
—— "Xiao Ao, I heard from Xiao Rang that you are going to renovate the house? Uncle Liang used to do this, do you want to go together and help you?"
"Oh, Uncle Zhou, I appreciate your kindness! But you have finally recovered so well, you should pay more attention at ordinary times. When my house is renovated, I will definitely invite you to host the housewarming banquet!"
"Hahahaha... that's fine, you young people should also pay attention, don't get hurt."
"Hey! Don't worry! I will protect Ting Rang!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Tingrang blushed immediately.
"I have arms and legs, why do I need your protection..."
After poking Ao Junzhi's elbow, Zhou Tingrang went downstairs while muttering.
"Hey, then, uncle, let's go first."
So Ao Junzhi followed Zhou Ting with a playful smile on his buttocks and crossed the road.
Walking into the elevator of the apartment, Ao Junzhi pressed the 12th floor, and Zhou Tingrang suddenly asked curiously.
"Before I just came out... what did you talk to my dad about?"
"Well... I just told my uncle that I don't plan to leave when I come back to City S this time. I want to make a home here and never leave again."
As Ao Junzhi spoke, he looked at Zhou Tingrang with determination and affection, and Zhou Tingrang's heart was filled with emotion.
Because the love that Zhou Tingrang needs most is never to leave.
Entering the new house, I saw that Miki and Xiaoqi's faces were already covered in paint. Ao Junzhi felt that they were really good brothers, and they spared no effort in their lives.
As soon as Zhou Tingrang greeted the two of them, Ao Junzhi took him to the bedroom to paint.
"Ting Rang, what color do you think this room looks good on?"
"Swipe whatever you like."
"I...I like too many colors, you can help me choose, choose the color you like."
"Well... for myself, I prefer beige, but I don't know if it matches your room."
"Go! Go! Go! Definitely go! Then paint off-white!"
Then the two set up a ladder and brushed up layer by layer.
By the time the two of them finished the whole room, they were already out of breath.
"Also... How many rooms are there to be painted?"
Zhou Tingrang leaned on the ladder and asked Ao Junzhi exhaustedly.
"Uh, there's one more bedroom, one study room, and two bathrooms that don't need to be painted when the tiles are installed..."
"No, you said you live alone, why did you buy such a big house? Don't you think it's a waste?"
Zhou Tingrang really couldn't understand Ao Junzhi's consumption concerns on housing.
"How can it be a waste?" Ao Junzhi suddenly looked at Zhou Tingrang mysteriously, with an unconcealable smile on his lips, "One day there will be two people."
Responding to Ao Junzhi's hint, Zhou Tingrang suddenly felt a heat in his heart, and the result was that his ears and neck were completely red.
"I, I... I'll go see how Miki Xiaoqi and the others are doing..."
After saying that, Zhou Tingrang buried his head and fled out of the bedroom.
In a blink of an eye, it's the end of the year again.
This time, Ao Junzhi finally realized a problem that he and Zhou Ting had ignored for a long time.
That is, Zhou Tingrang's birthday.
He secretly asked Zhou Shiliang that December 12th was Zhou Tingrang's birthday, and Ao Junzhi had racked his brains to prepare for it a week in advance.
At noon, Ao Junzhi deliberately told Zhou Tingrang that he would not be able to have dinner with him at noon today under the pretext of going out to talk about clients. In fact, he dragged Miki to a restaurant outside to discuss plans to celebrate his birthday.
"Hurry up, love expert, recommend me some romantic ways to celebrate my birthday, I haven't been in love for hundreds of years, it's really a bit unfamiliar."
"Comrade Ao Junzhi, please allow me to remind you kindly that you, now, are not in love, and at best can only be regarded as unrequited love."
"Damn, I don't want to poke people's hearts like this. But Comrade Miki, let me remind you kindly. If I get it right this time, I'm very likely to officially fall in love."
"Okay, it's the brother's unshirkable responsibility to contribute to the flames. Let me help you think about it... How about this, you take the court to watch a movie!"
"See a movie?"
"Yeah, as far as I know, Ting Rang hasn't watched many movies until now, so watching movies is definitely romantic for you two! Moreover, it seems that some youth movies have been released recently, which are very suitable for couples to watch."
"Pull it down, you said those youth pain movies? The youth between me and Ting Rang was so painful! Do you still want us to expose our scars?"
"Oh, yes, yes, the youth of you two is not very good. Then what should I do? I can't think of any good way."
"Actually, I just want to know what wish Tingrang has for him. I want to help him realize a wish every year on his birthday."
"How did you find out? Look through his diary? He doesn't write a diary. Read his Weibo? He doesn't play Weibo. That's all wrong."
"Huh?" Ao Junzhi stared at Miki suddenly, his eyes lit up, "I have a solution!"
"Why are you staring at me? Why are you betraying me?"
"Sell your position."
"what?"
"Think about it, don't you ask their company's HR? Just like this, organize a wish collection event, say to enhance the relationship between employees, show the company's care for employees, and ask each of them to write a wish card, so that Can't I know what Ting Rang wishes for?"
"Fuck, are you asking me to abuse my power?"
"It's not something that harms the company's interests. What's wrong with you doing brother a favor? Besides, who just said that it is the duty-bound responsibility of brother to add fuel to the flames?"
Miki slapped himself.
"Look at my cheap mouth."
The next day, a card appeared on Ao Junzhi's desk.
"Here you are, Grandpa, I have hundreds of them in my office just to pick out this one for you!"
"Brother, this friendship, buddy, keep it in mind, you can decide what to eat at night."
"Then I'll eat you up."
"no problem."
As soon as Miki left, Ao Junzhi couldn't wait to open the card.
I saw a line written clearly on the card.
"Look at the sunrise that day again."
Suddenly, a picture that made people blush and heartbeat came to mind.
The beach that day, the sunshine that day, the face that was so close, and the breath that was so close.
It turned out that Ting Rang had always remembered.
Just like I always remember.
It turned out that his wish was me.
I am very blessed.
Almost jumped up from the seat so happy, Ao Junzhi hurriedly planned the route, made up a series of possible plots that might happen that day, and then seriously practiced the affectionate confession that he had no chance to say at that time.
On the day of his birthday, Ao Junzhi left all the light bulbs and followers behind and drove Zhou Tingrang to the beach at that time alone.
In the evening, the two of them set up their own tents, set up a bonfire, and roasted delicious food in the afterglow of the setting sun. They also drank the fine red wine that Ao Junzhi specially ordered from Miki, chatting happily about the company of all kinds of fun.
Seeing that the sky was completely dark, Ao Junzhi went to the back seat of the car to fetch a custom-made cake and lit candles for Zhou Tingrang.
"Happy birthday to you - happy birthday to you - HappybirthdaytoXiaoRang - happy birthday to you!"
The most sincere smile on Ao Junzhi's pretty face, and him behind the candlelight, singing the melodious birthday song, all these left an unforgettable imprint on Zhou Tingrang's heart.
"Oh! Classmate Zhou Tingrang, I wish you a happy birthday! Come on! You can make a wish!"
Putting his hands together, Zhou Ting asked him to close his eyes devoutly and make a long-awaited wish.
"Blow out the candles!"
"call--"
All the candles were extinguished, and Ao Junzhi burst into warm applause in response to the occasion.
"Believe it or not, I know what you wished just now."
"Ah? How is that possible?"
"You'll know tomorrow morning."
Ao Junzhi blinked his starry eyes reservedly.
Serving the most delicious part of the cake to Zhou Tingrang, Zhou Tingrang took a sip of the sweet taste, and moved his whole chest.
"Junzhi, thank you."
"Hey, thank you, making you happy is my happiest thing."
Ao Junzhi also sat back on the small bench and took a bite of the delicious cake.
"To be honest, I only had a happy birthday when my mother was there. Later, I was so busy that I forgot about it myself. Thank you for giving me such a great memory today."
"But having said that, birthdays are really called birthdays when I was a child. Nowadays, people celebrate their birthdays with all kinds of parties, which are crazy and noisy. When they go, they only get drunk. It's actually quite boring. Like this , Seriously, to say to someone sincerely, happy birthday, is an experience that I haven’t experienced for a long time.”
The two looked at each other with a smile of understanding, and happily ate the cake.
"Hey, how do I remember?" Zhou Tingrang might be in a good mood, and suddenly wanted to play tricks on Ao Junzhi, "When we were young, we celebrated birthdays. Besides singing birthday songs, blowing out candles, and eating cakes, there seemed to be another activity. .”
"What else is there?"
"That's it..." Zhou Tingrang approached Ao Junzhi suddenly with a strange smile, "This event! Hahahaha..."
Smearing the cream on Ao Junzhi's face, Zhou Tingrang laughed and ran away.
"Damn it! Zhou Ting asked me to tell you! The birthday star is the one who should be wiped!"
Taking advantage of the situation, Ao Junzhi also grabbed a handful of butter and followed Zhou Tingrang directly to catch up.
"Ah! Ah!"
Unable to bear Ao Junzhi's muscular body, Zhou Tingrang was captured by an eagle like a chicken in an instant, and with a slap on the face, he immediately turned into a little cat.
"Ao Junzhi! Ao Junzhi! Wait a minute! Truce! Truce!"
Making a gesture of crossing his hands, Zhou Tingrang used delaying tactics to stop Ao Junzhi's endless attacks on him.
"Well, I suddenly remembered something about you."
"what's up?"
"When you were in junior high school, did you participate in a sports meeting once?"
"It seems to be...in the second year of junior high school."
"Well, run 100 meters, I am No.1, and you are last."
"What! I, Ao Batian, am also good at sports, okay?"
"Don't brag, I still have the certificate from that year at home, I won't remember it wrong."
"Well, you remember correctly, our team was short of people that time, so I had to make up the numbers."
"As a result, you ran last from the bottom."
"I have already done my best."
"Then, let's try again now."
"what?"
"Why, don't you want to?"
"No, we're all old and old now, so don't mess around."
"Hmm..." Zhou Ting made Gu Lingling roll his eyes strangely, "If you win the race, I will grant one of your wishes."
"what?!"
Ao Jun's morale increased greatly.
"I said, if you win, I will grant you one wish."
In the next second, Ao Junzhi knelt down and took the starting position.
"let's start."
"puff……"
Thinking Ao Junzhi's reaction was too funny, Zhou Tingrang couldn't help laughing.
"Hurry up, let me show you Mushroom Head's counterattack."
"Okay, there is a rock over there, see if you see it, whoever gets there first will win."
"OK."
"start!"
The two of them bounced off like bullets with a bang.
Along the way, Ao Junzhi maintained the advantage. Zhou Tingrang didn't expect Ao Junzhi to be so powerful now. When he ran to the last ten meters, he began to panic, so a thought flashed in his mind, and Zhou Tingrang did it intuitively.
"what!"
Half-kneeling on the beach, Zhou Tingrang covered his mouth and ankle with a face of pain.
Ao Junzhi, who was about to reach the finish line, heard Zhou Tingrang's wailing, and quickly turned back, looking at Zhou Tingrang's ankle with concern.
"What's the matter? Where is the injury? Let me have a look. I told you not to act..."
Before Ao Junzhi finished speaking, Zhou Tingrang shot out like an arrow from a bow, and before Ao Junzhi could react, he was already waving and shouting beside the reef.
"Hahahahaha... I won! I won!"
"Wow! Damn! Zhou Tingrang, I didn't expect you to play this hand with me? It's too cunning! I protest! The result of the competition is unfair! I want to report to the organizing committee!"
"I am the organizing committee."
"Depend on……"
Ao Junzhi's acting skills exploded, and he sat down on the ground to cheat.
"I promised to fulfill one of my wishes. I had already won. It was your fake moves that caused me to lose the gold medal. Give me my wish and give me my wish!"
Seeing Ao Junzhi's anger like a child, Zhou Tingrang only thought it was cute, walked over and bent down to stroke Ao Junzhi's head, and asked gently.
"Little friend, what is your wish? Tell the teacher, and the teacher will consider whether you want to help you realize it."
"Are you serious?"
Ao Junzhi ignited hope again, and bounced with a bang.
"Tell me about it."
"Hmm...my wish is..." Ao Junzhi pointed embarrassingly at the tent they had set up not far away, "tonight, let's live in the same tent."
Zhou Tingrang kicked Ao Junzhi's thigh hard.
"Ao Junzhi! You stinky rascal!"
"Hiss... No, I haven't finished talking yet, it's a tent and two sleeping bags! Two sleeping bags!!!"
He knew that Ao Junzhi had no other intentions, but Zhou Tingrang just thought it was fun to tease him, so the two chased each other on the beach for a long time, and they went back to the tent to rest when they were exhausted and out of breath.
As they wished, they put away a tent. At this moment, Ao Junzhi and Zhou Tingrang were lying in the same tent, looking at the sky full of stars above their heads. This kind of pleasant peace made people want to fix time in this moment forever.
"Ting Rang, sleep well, I will call you tomorrow morning to help you realize your wish."
"OK, good night."
"Good night."
Early the next morning, Ao Junzhi only felt a splitting headache, and opened his eyes in a daze, and the surroundings were already bright.
"What the hell...is the sun already out?"
Sitting up with his head propped up, Ao Junzhi found that there was no one next to Zhou Tingrang, so he quickly unzipped the tent, only to see Zhou Tingrang cooking soup on a fire outside.
"Awake?"
Zhou Tingrang smiled so hard that Ao Junzhi could not wait to find a hole in the ground and go down.
"I'm sorry, Ting Rang, I was going to watch the sunrise with you. I don't know what happened. I suddenly felt dizzy. It's been a while since I woke up. Don't you blame me?"
"No, actually I got up late too, and I didn't see the sunrise at all."
In the end, the two had no choice but to take this regret and set off to return to the urban area.
Considering Ao Junzhi's dizziness, Zhou Ting let him drive this time. Ao Junzhi sat in the co-pilot, closed his eyes and reflected angrily, and kept blaming himself for how he could sleep through such an important moment.
"Junzhi, are you still angry with yourself? Oh, it's okay. The sun rises every day. You can come again next time you have a chance."
"But this time it's your birthday, which has a special meaning."
"Then you misunderstood my wish."
"Ok?"
"My wish is to watch the sunrise that day again. First of all, this proposition is untenable. The sunrise of that day has passed, and it is impossible to see it again. Therefore, what is meaningful is not that day, nor is it that day. Come out, you know what I mean."
After understanding Zhou Tingrang's words, Ao Junzhi suddenly felt sweet in his heart, so the dark clouds on his face dissipated immediately, and he nodded happily towards Zhou Tingrang.
"But how did you know my wish?"
Zhou Tingrang finally got to the point of the question, and Ao Junzhi immediately pretended to be asleep based on the principle that he could not be beaten but could be avoided.
Looking at Ao Junzhi's reaction amusedly, Zhou Tingrang didn't ask any more questions, anyway, as long as he had such happy memories from yesterday, that's enough.
When he got home, Ao Junzhi hurriedly called Miki to ask what was going on.
"What? You didn't have anything to do last night? Then I'm too sorry for the wine I gave you!"
"Is there something wrong with the wine you gave me? Tell me!"
"Oh, I was just thinking about such a romantic day yesterday, right? I wanted to give you an assist, so I changed the packaging of the red wine. The two bottles I gave you are the strongest and the most powerful. You kid didn't drink at the critical moment, and even fell asleep, I was also drunk."
Ao Jun slapped himself across the face.
"I'm not careful in making friends..."
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and June is approaching. Unknowingly, Zhou Tingrang has been in university for four years. Today is the day to bid farewell to the campus and usher in graduation.
Putting on the long-awaited bachelor's uniform, Zhou Tingrang took tears with tears in his eyes to take graduation photos with the department leaders and classmates. Zhou Shiliang and Tan Ma, Song Hui and Guan Tingting, as well as Miki and Xiaoqi, all came to congratulate.
Of course, it was Ao Junzhi who attracted the most attention.
It's just that this person has not yet appeared on the scene.
"Hey, I've heard. It's been a lot of fun going back and forth between Ao Junzhi and our family this year. What about others? Today is such an important day, why don't you see him?"
In order to answer Song Hui's doubts, Miki hurriedly stood up and gave a special explanation.
"Then what, Junzhi said, his status is about to be different from ours, so he won't come to celebrate with us for the time being, and he has special arrangements after the court ceremony is over."
"This guy is really funny, and he's about to be different. I want to see if he can be different today."
At this moment, Ao Junzhi, who has ordered flowers and prepared balloons, is preparing a confession of the century on the lawn behind the auditorium.
Knowing that Zhou Tingrang doesn't like high-profile, but he can't help but create romance, so Ao Junzhi specially surveyed the terrain several days in advance, and finally chose this perfect place.
"On the day I returned to China, I didn't confess. On Ting Rang's birthday, I didn't confess. It's only three things, so I don't believe I can't confess today!"
Two hours passed, and the ceremony was over. Ao Junzhi guessed that Zhou Tingrang was coming soon, so he stood up from the lawn, tidied his clothes, and then moved the balloon pile behind him.
But who knows that at this moment a gust of evil wind hits, and the balloon rope tied firmly is blown away with a bang, Ao Junzhi's wailing won't be like this, he can only watch the balloons fly away.
"Junzhi!"
Zhou Tingrang's hearty voice came from behind, Ao Junzhi turned his head and became nervous for no reason.
"Ting Rang, are you here?"
boom--
There was a huge thunder in the sky, and in an instant, dark clouds were covered, and the lightning cracked, and within a few seconds, the torrential rain poured down, and the flowers in Ao Jun's hands also withered in an instant.
"Ting Rang, I..."
The sincerity is blocked in his throat and he can't say it. Although Ao Junzhi really wants to shake out all the lines he has prepared, but seeing Zhou Tingrang getting wet by the heavy rain in front of him, Ao Junzhi really can't bear it. It made him sick, so I had to give up.
"...Let's go hide from the rain."
Pulling Zhou Tingrang into the teaching building to squeeze the water out of his clothes, Ao Junzhi became depressed again.
After thousands of calculations, I actually missed that this month is the rainy season. Why did I forget to choose an indoor place?
Alas, it's been three times. Could it be that I have never had the fate to confess to the court in my life?
"Junzhi, you called me to the back of the auditorium just now, do you have something to tell me?"
Faced with Zhou Tingrang's curiosity, Ao Junzhi looked at his image reflected in the glass completely destroyed, and decided to find another opportunity to confess to Zhou Tingrang.
"Uh...it's nothing, I just want to tell you, happy graduation! I've been watching you since you first entered Jiaotong University, and I know how difficult it is for you to study for the past four years. Now you have finally made it through and become a real graduate I am now a college student, so I want to congratulate you and tell you that you are the best person I have ever met."
"Thank you, Junzhi."
One week after the graduation ceremony, Zhou Tingrang completed all the graduation procedures from Jiaotong University, and received a call from Hengtong Company as soon as he got home, congratulating him on successfully passing the internship assessment and officially entering the probationary period.
Zhou Tingrang shared the good news with everyone immediately, and within a few minutes Ao Junzhi knocked on the door.
"Hey? Shouldn't you be at work at this time?"
"You are such a great event, of course I have to ask for leave to celebrate with you!"
"Oh no, you go back to work quickly, in the evening, let's celebrate in the evening."
"Then, can you leave me alone at night? I... want to take you somewhere. "
"Okay, I'll tell dad and brother."
"Well! Then I'll come pick you up after work!"
He had never been so eager to get off work so early in a day. When Ao Junzhi saw the second hand of the clock reached six o'clock, he rushed out of the building like a gust of wind. After picking up the car, he drove directly to the hot pot restaurant and honked his horn.
After a while Zhou Tingrang ran down and got into the car.
"Where are we going now?"
"Hey, tonight there is a concert at the Suburban Performing Arts Center. The singers we liked when we were young are all here. I think you must like to listen to it, so I bought two tickets."
"They are really my favorite singers."
"Yes, do you understand me? Let's go, let's have a meal first, and we'll go there after we're done."
To be honest, after the previous three setbacks, Ao Junzhi is already holding a grudge against the confession.
And I don't want to make any more fuss in the short term. For example, tonight, I just want to reminisce about my youth with Zhou Tingrang.
The atmosphere of the concert was intense, and the encore continued. By the time everyone left, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
Ao Junzhi and Zhou Tingrang heard the last call, so when they came out, the crowd had dispersed, because it was the outskirts of the city, and there were no people on the street, so they walked side by side to the parking place .
"I didn't expect that after so many years, I still feel so much when listening to those songs before."
"Yeah, our idols are getting old, and we're growing up too."
"You said, if you at the age of 13 knew that so many things would happen between us in the future, would you still bully me at the age of 13?"
"Maybe...the bullying will be even more fierce, because I know there is no bullying now."
"Yeah, now you see gangsters take a knife and run away. If you are 13 years old, if you know how cowardly you are now, you must feel ashamed."
"You're wrong, it's not cowardice," Zhou Tingrang suddenly stopped in place, and looked at Ao Junzhi seriously, "It's not that I've become timid, and it's not that I can't move anymore, it's just that you are with me everywhere now. I feel protected when I'm around, so this ability to go all out is lost."
After Zhou Tingrang finished speaking, he turned his head and continued walking. After walking two steps, he found that Ao Junzhi hadn't followed, and turned back again. Zhou Tingrang waved his hand in front of Ao Junzhi's eyes.
"What's your reaction? Don't you want to go back on what you said? You said you want to protect..."
"Protect you for the rest of your life."
