If this sweet shell is destined to be peeled off by you

It was not easy to go through the procedures. Maeda and his wife, who already had a child, could not adopt Xueyue through normal channels, but they had to go through the formalities of Xueyue's adoption through the relationship of Maeda's father.

Finally, when the dust settled, Xueyue stood in front of the gate of 409 again, her mood was no longer the same as before.The life where I used to eat and sleep by myself finally no longer belongs to me. With Maeda's participation, life has become very different.

"Xueyue, let's buy a house sometime, I can't stand living apart like this."

After all, she rubbed her nose against Xueyue's ear, like a spoiled child.

"There's no separation, why don't you stay on my bed every day, or force me to sleep with you..."

The laughing Xueyue is very cute, her slightly squinted eyes are like two crescent moons, as if she is blaming Maeda, but it is full of sweetness.

After pushing Maeda into the room, Xueyue, who was busy tidying up and washing up, chatted casually, but Maeda started to draw pictures.He just lowered his head to look at his phone from time to time, until it was late at night, and only stopped writing under Xueyue's urging.

"It's already past midnight, why don't you go to sleep? You've been sitting here since you got home these two days, why are you so engrossed in painting?

Although Xueyue was asking, but he didn't want to look at it, because Maeda always took time to draw himself on weekdays.Xueyue on the canvas sometimes wears ancient Egyptian costumes, and sometimes is surrounded by a piece of white gauze just like the angels in European classical oil paintings. Maeda even paints Xueyue with a pair of wings growing from his waist, although The face is still the same, but there are curly horns on the head, and the naked figure in the painting will cover the body with wings, Xueyue will blush every time she sees it.

But Maeda is a different feeling.The urge to spread the wings makes people unable to look away, and the indifferent eyes that do not meet anyone have a deep magic power.Maeda, who has always disliked naming paintings, named this painting "Angel Falls Tonight" for the first time.

This is also a work that he will treasure for his whole life.

"Xueyue, come over and have a look, okay? This is a Christmas gift I specially gave you."

He yawned, but his eyes were a little tired, but he still waved to Xueyue, expecting him to come to his side.

"Well, good. What did you draw?"

Maeda's painters have always amazed Xueyue, and he, who doesn't know oil painting, will occasionally go to art exhibitions with Maeda.This time, I specially drew a picture for myself as a Christmas gift, I don't know what was painted on it.

"You'll know just by looking at it."

He made a fool of himself, the moment the white cloth hanging on the shelf was torn off, he saw Xueyue frowned suddenly.

"...Is this me?"

Pointing to the canvas, the baby in the swaddling arms is held by a woman. The tightly closed eyes and slightly opened mouth are very cute, as if in a dream.And the woman holding the baby was the photo of the mother that she got a few days ago.Her belly was no longer bulging, but there was a baby in her arms.

"It's you, I think you should have been so cute when you were young."

After stroking the soft light chestnut hair, the pair of eyes that are always gentle on weekdays glowed faintly. Under the dim light in the room, under the auxiliary light source fixed at the side, Xueyue's side face was outlined. The shadows, the slightly trembling eyelashes were reluctant to sweep down, and the eyes kept staring at the painting that had just been completed.

"I don't think she has ever hugged you, so I drew this picture as one of her wishes. And the picture is so small..."

Xueyue, who was half squatting aside, didn't have the shock when she saw the photo for the first time, but the tenderness hidden in his eyes made her look even more gentle.That kind of softness from inside to outside is without affectation, without those hypocrisy and coldness, it is his purest appearance.

Turning her head and looking at Qiantian, Xueyue had a smile on her lips, and she was silent for a long time before speaking.

"……Thanks a lot."

"where."

Hugging this man who was covered in paint all over his body because of painting, he gently felt his existence and his body temperature.Such intoxicating warmth, from now on I will feel more, thinking about this, Xueyue laughed.

"Hehe, you...you are really, really good."

Burying his head on Maeda's neck, the other party took advantage of the situation and placed himself on his lap.

"Where is it? Have you forgotten that my mother and father exposed me?"

Breathing out gently, smelling the familiar aroma of shampoo, I felt very at ease.

"No matter what you were like before, you never treated me badly. I read the novels you wrote, and the emotions expressed in each book are different. But I didn't understand it at the time. I watched those life and death partings and thought that was love. , so I was very scared...but now I feel that being loved by you like this is really, really great..."

"How do you know I wrote those novels? Mom told you?"

Maeda never mentioned this matter to Xue Yue, and only his parents and Irie knew about it.

"A few days ago, Irie came to the store, and talked to me for a long time before leaving. He heard that I was going to be adopted by your family, he seemed a little disappointed, and then told me about it, hehe..."

The arm around Maeda's neck did not let go, but rested his head on the opponent's shoulder.

"Then, Xueyue, are you not angry? I'm keeping it from you, and... not jealous, are you?"

Although he was nervous, Maeda was not that nervous.Now that she knows the result, and she is in her arms at this moment, it means that Xue Yue is in a good mood.

"No, no. I just lamented our fate. Originally, I didn't read novels very much, but...but I like your writing very much. Oh, by the way, Irie is also very happy now."

Recalling the first year when I came out to live alone, I passed by a bookstore one day when I was going to work. For some reason, the book placed on the shelf at the door of the store suddenly fell off. Just as the clerk was about to pick it up, I stepped forward and picked it up unconsciously. , just took a few glances by the way and bought it.This wonderful fate with Maeda started at that moment.

"……Um."

People always become emotional in the middle of the night.But when it came to Irie, Maeda just smiled lightly.The countless reluctance in the past has been ignited bit by bit, and the days spent together in vain have become a fragment of memory in the corner of my mind, and now the other party is also living happily, which is already considered a happy event.

For the painting tonight, the frame was ordered a few days later, and Xueyue hung it in room 410.

And Christmas is coming soon, but Xueyue has already booked the restaurant early, and he needs to return the gift to Maeda.

It's not the most upscale restaurant here, but it has a wide view on the top floor, a great view, and good food. Many couples choose this place for a date.

It was already winter on the day of the reservation, and the two drove over, both wearing very orthodox suits.Xueyue tied a tie for Maeda, while she chose to tie a bow tie.

"Xueyue, I don't want to go out anymore."

Until he was about to go out, Maeda didn't take his eyes off Xueyue's body.The elegant figure and well-tailored suit line are far more prominent than the waiter's uniform. Although the figure is slightly thinner, it is not weak.This scene is so unbearable, it can make people look crazy.

"You said you wanted to wear formal clothes to eat western food together, don't you want to go?"

Xueyue, who was already standing outside the door, did not wait for Maeda, but walked to the elevator first, because he knew that Maeda would definitely follow.

The beauty of the night scene is that the cold and rigid architectural lines in the daytime can no longer be seen clearly, and only the lit lights are the protagonists of the night.Decorate the scenery colorfully, no matter how restrained the building is during the day, the outline will be blurred by the lights.

"You are more than thousands in my eyes."

The moment the affectionate eyes met, the background music of the restaurant suddenly changed its style.From the original Christmas style to soothing piano music, accompanied by the deep and deep cello, Xueyue slowly stood up.

It wasn't until he walked to the table that he took out the long-prepared box from his pocket.

"Mr. Maeda Linto."

With affectionate eyes, Xueyue knelt on one knee like a prince who was proposing to the princess. Those eyes, which shone slightly, looked at Maeda sincerely and emotionally.

Maeda couldn't think, and couldn't look at the constant gazes around him.He could only look at Xueyue fixedly.

"This time, please let me take the initiative and ask you to marry me."

He opened the ring box, and in the small box in the palm of his hand was a pair of very delicate platinum rings.There are no other decorations, just a ring shaped into a unique shape, but it is not vulgar.That was the size he had secretly measured after Maeda fell asleep, a long-prepared surprise.

"I have always been so passive, from now on I will be a little more courageous."

After stabilizing his emotions, he slowly uttered what he had wanted to tell Maeda for a long time.

"In the future, I will participate in your life, and your life may continue to disturb. Become a family member, bear the burden of life together, and become happy together..."

The blush on her face started to burn again, those words carried power, causing Xue Yue's chest to tremble uncontrollably, and even her voice trembled.

"You are the first person I like, and you will be the last one. You are irreplaceable to me...so..."

I rehearsed the confession countless times in my heart, but I still started to choke when I said it.None of the surrounding guests spoke, they were all waiting for Xueyue to finish her sentence.

"...So, so, please marry me, Maeda-san!"

Gathering up his courage, he omitted all the emotions he originally wanted to express. Only this sentence must be clearly and firmly conveyed to the person in front of him.

"Wow—"

There was applause all around, and the marriage proposal ceremony of the two men exuded sweetness in the Christmas atmosphere.The cold from winter is gone. At this moment, they seem to be warming the surrounding heat source with love, so that everyone who looks at it can feel the warmth.

"... Xueyue!"

Can't bear it anymore, can't wait any longer, Maeda's excited mood makes him just want to hug each other desperately at this moment.There are no flowers, no witnesses from relatives and friends, as long as this lovely person finally walks towards you, everything doesn't matter!

The two hugging tightly were immersed in happiness, put on rings for each other, and kissed together.

Xue Yue didn't speak, he originally wanted to express a lot of gratitude, but he omitted it because of sudden nervousness.But he wasn't worried at all, because the future is still long after all, it doesn't hurt to tell Maeda slowly...

Two men standing in the outer circle of the audience folded their arms and smiled as they witnessed the happiness of the two.

"Aiya... This time Xueyue is about to step into the cage of love, how pitiful."

He raised his eyebrows and sighed in his tone, while the man next to him looked at him.

"Cage? Why are you afraid?"

As he spoke, he put his arm on the other's shoulder.

"Scared, very scared. From now on, it will only belong to one person. Once the other party doesn't love me, the one left will be the most pitiful. So, can you let me go? How about giving me freedom?"

Provocatively looking back at the man who was slightly taller than him, the man stretched out his hand and pulled out his arm, tightly holding the hand with the ring in his palm.

"Hmph! Don't even think about it."

The gripped fingers covered the wide palm little by little.

The author has something to say:

After finishing the flowering, I will take the time to play the extra episode.Xueyue finally had a new life, and Maeda got true love.Nakajima caught the man, and Gero was willing to stay.

Although it feels like it's all fate traffic, I also hope that the babies who see it here will leave me a message.

Ups and downs, intermittent, and taking a break from busy schedules, I wrote for half a year.10,000. [-]+ words (deleting h and subtracting too many h parts leads to a large part missing in boldness). It is really not much, but this is the first story I have finished for the time being.At the beginning, I wanted to write something that would touch me, but I ended up writing something more everyday. Although it is still warm, it is far from what I thought.Maybe it's because life is too bitter, that's why I want to write a sweet supplement.

When I was halfway through writing, I reflected on it and found that my personality was broken into many pieces. For example, Xueyue is not afraid of the cold, which is my own bad habit.It's also my bad habit that Jieluo doesn't want to sleep with others.Although I want everyone to have a unique personality charm, but my writing skills are clumsy and I am really weak.

The next thing that may be released is Irie's episode.That part of him is my favorite.There is also the extra episode about the bastard who raped Jie Luo, the extra episode of the zoo, all that can be released~ Such a slow story, if you can really accompany me to the end, then the wilderness bows to you here up.

Thank you for your company, thank you for accompanying me to experience this little story.See you in the next story~
