The night all truths came to light.
Su Yue recalled everything with disbelief, her eyes involuntarily welling up.
So he was truly that person.
So he had secretly loved her for so long, before she knew anything.
No wonder he was always afraid she would run away.
No wonder he understood her so well.
"No, you told me back then you wanted to be a firefighter." She suddenly realized something was amiss.
"Yes, that night I took you to the police station, I told the police in front of you that I was a student at the Public Security University."
"You were afraid I'd tell you I was a police officer, and you'd associate it with that night and see through my identity."
"I didn't expect," he chuckled, "that you had drunk so much that day, you forgot everything."
Su Yue snorted.
But she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Then why didn't you want to meet me earlier? You saw it yourself, being together didn't affect my studies at all," she asked again.
Chen Ziming thought for a moment and replied calmly, "You've seen how fast things developed when we met."
"I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself."
"What happened back then was against the law."
Su Yue: ...
"Then why did you disappear later? Were you on a mission?" She still thought of the crucial point.
He nodded.
"So you were waiting for me all along."
"Yes."
"Going to our university for a lecture was also intentional."
"That's right."
"Then what about this time? Was the interview your department invited me to also your doing?"
"I mentioned it, and I didn't expect the leadership to be so supportive."
"..."
Su Yue feigned a proud smile. "Director Chen, you've been planning for a long time to get me, working meticulously."
Unexpectedly, he didn't retort but continued to smile gently and replied, "Yes, I put in a lot of effort."
Hearing this answer, her smile gradually faded.
The tears she had just held back filled her eyes again.
He didn't stop her, his eyes watching her, his gaze as gentle as moonlight.
The depths of his eyes rippled, holding distant mountains and rivers, and her world.
She was his moon hidden in the clouds.
And the treasure he pursued his entire life.
This time, he believed she would truly never leave again.
Su Yue also looked at him, gradually sinking into his eyes.
This person who embraced all of her, loved her with all his might, was the most beautiful light in her life.
It seemed no matter how long, no matter when.
She would be drawn to him, falling in love with him again and again.
— Meeting you, my affection surged.
— Seeing all things in the world, my heart was moved by romance.
"Are you moved?" the man asked with a soft laugh, reaching out to wipe away her tears.
"I'm sorry for making you sad again and again," she pouted, apologizing with a sob.
Then she buried her face in his neck, letting her tears flow freely.
"I am willing," a voice with a smile replied, he gently patted her back, turning his head to soothe her.
After a pause, he added, "As long as you end up with me, does it matter when we got together?"
"I want to be with you forever and ever, I'm never leaving again," she said softly into his neck, her voice muffled.
"Mmm, trust me, baby."
Su Yue suddenly remembered this term of endearment.
No wonder she had felt it was so familiar the first time he called her that.
Over the years they chatted, he would occasionally call her that.
She sat up from his embrace, her eyes shimmering with a moving mist.
When their gazes met.
They both smiled.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked with a smile.
"About you, and how I should make up for the time I've missed," she replied earnestly.
"Then I'll be waiting for your making up, baby." He smiled even more happily, his dimples showing faintly.
"Mmm." She looked at him for a while longer.
So handsome.
So captivating.
"I love you."
She said it softly, not waiting for his reply, leaning forward to kiss him.
Just before their lips met, she heard his deep voice reply, "I love you more."
Then, his large hand embraced her, actively meeting her kiss.
The wind and flowers and moon wait for no one.
To offer.
So offer a kiss.
-The End-
