It was rare for Xu Shi Yao to express his own thoughts to Wu Chun.
Wu Chun rarely thought about what Xu Shi Yao felt in his heart when he saw the things he had recorded.
But tonight, when Xu Shi Yao brought it up, Wu Chun really wanted to ask.
“What do you feel in your heart every time you see those things you wrote?”
Wu Chun asked playfully as he hugged Xu Shi Yao’s neck.
“Intimate,” Xu Shi Yao answered without hesitation, her hands tightly around Wu Chun’s waist, afraid that he might fall from the tree. “I don’t know how it felt in those late nights before, but I remember the feeling tonight. It was an overwhelming sense of intimacy, as if the words in front of me weren’t just cold text, but a living person.
It was the first time that Wu Chun had heard Xu Shi Yao speak so much, and at that moment, his heart felt like it was filled with honey.
Their relationship before was one of respect and gratitude.
Wu Chun was respectful to Xu Shi Yao.
Xu Shi Yao was grateful to Wu Chun.
In the previous period of their relationship, it was one-sided. During that time, Wu Chun wanted to share all his inner thoughts with Xu Shi Yao, while Xu Shi Yao, due to his own worries, could only let layer after layer of his true thoughts either disappear at midnight or be written on the bark of the tree by the other.
If Xu Shi Yao’s earlier phrase “Let’s be together” gave Wu Chun a sense of the cognitive change in their relationship, now, for Wu Chun, it is a true experience of that change and immersion in it.
Between them, they have truly achieved honesty and openness with each other.
Wu Chun’s heart was filled with overwhelming excitement at that moment. He couldn’t help but lean towards Xu Shi Yao’s body and eagerly asked, “What else?”
Just as the words came out of his mouth, Wu Chun felt a force pushing him forward. When he regained consciousness, he found himself embraced by Xu Shi Yao.
“What is it, Xu Shi Yao?” Wu Chu asked quietly.
“Wu Chun,” Xu Shi Yao’s voice suddenly became deep, as if it had been suppressed for a long time and finally found the right opportunity to express the words that had been kept in the depths of his heart. “Every time I see you, I really want to hug you or hope that you will hug me.”
“What’s wrong?” Wu Chun asked with a gentle laugh.

There was no immediate response from the other person. After a moment of thought, they smiled slightly.

The other person had once left a question on the tree bark out of curiosity, and due to Wu Chun’s presence, an answer was added to the question. However, even though there was an answer, it ultimately remained as a visual “warmth.
Now, at the moment when memories are erased at midnight, Xu Shi Yao still doesn’t know what warmth feels like.
It can only be said that Wu Chun and Xu Shi Yao have experienced too much during this time, and the accumulation of various events has temporarily suppressed certain things in Wu Chun’s heart.
He should hug Xu Shi Yao when his memories are cleared every day.
Wu Chun’s face slowly lit up with a smile, and he let out a soft breath. He said to Xu Shi Yao, “How about we hug each other every day right after midnight?”
“Okay,” Xu Shi Yao replied with a smile. He paused for a moment before continuing, “There’s another feeling I want to experience again.”
Wu Chun stood up from his embrace and faced him directly.
“What feeling? Just tell me and I can…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a wave of coolness occupied Wu Chun’s lips.
This kiss was different from all the others. Xu Shi Yao cautiously explored Wu Chun’s lips, as if he was delicately probing after receiving permission, and then gently plunged in.
She was somewhat inexperienced, but not without a sense of order.
Wu Chun closed his eyes and savored the moment.
Under the moonlight, they embraced each other with kisses. Time passed, and they were not aware of how long it had been, until suddenly, a rooster’s crow could be heard in the distance. Wu Chun and Xu Shi Yao separated, and as they did so, Wu Chun’s breathing became slightly labored, with a faint blush on his cheeks.
“Is it getting light outside?” Wu Chun asked.
Xu Shi Yao raised his head and looked at the night sky for a moment. After a pause, he said, “It should still take some time. Are you tired?”
Wu Chun shook his head. “I am not tired.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chun yawned, followed by a soft chuckle from Xu Shi Yao.
“Go to sleep, I’ll watch over you,” Xu Shi Yao said, hugging Wu Chun and speaking softly.
“Don’t sleep, I’m leaving tomorrow, so I don’t want to sleep,” Wu Chun mumbled.
If there was a way to keep Xu Shi Yao by his side, it would be great. But for now, let’s not discuss the fact that Xu Shi Yao has never left this place in the past five years. Leaving abruptly might bring unforeseen risks.
The most important thing is that this place needs him.
Even though it’s now widely known that there are gods on Shili Mountain, and most people who come to cut down trees would retreat, this place still needs Xu Shi Yao.
So even if there was a way to take Xu Shi Yao away, he couldn’t leave.
“I won’t sleep!” Wu Chun forced himself to open his eyes and meet Xu Shi Yao’s gaze.
Xu Shi Yao went along with it, but when Wu Chun didn’t pay attention, he quietly put his hand on Wu Chun’s shoulder and gently patted it.
…
In the end, Wu Chun couldn’t resist the sleepiness that comes with being human. Xu Shi Yao’s body felt cool, but perhaps the atmosphere of love around them warmed the surrounding temperature.
In the night, Wu Chun leaned against Xu Shi Yao’s embrace, sitting on a branch of a pine tree, and fell into a light sleep.
Even though he wasn’t lying on a bed, Wu Chun still had a good sleep, or maybe even a sleepless night.
However, when he opened his eyes in the early morning, the faint sunlight streamed down, and a few drops of dew hung on the grass. The refreshing scent of the fields in the morning brought joy to his heart.
However, there was no sign of Xu Shi Yao.
Although he was mentally prepared, Wu Chun still felt a bit uncomfortable and regretful. He regretted falling asleep last night and wondered if he had stayed awake, perhaps more could have happened between him and Xu Shi Yao.
Wu Chun stood up, and it felt like a boundary had been drawn around him. The morning mist hadn’t touched him at all.
Wu Chun stretched lazily and looked at the pine tree behind him.
He was about to leave…
Wu Chun approached the tree and hugged it tightly. He remembered that Xu Shi Yao had once said that this way, the other person could also feel his hug.
However, in the coming month, during the days and nights, what would Xu Shi Yao rely on to compensate for the uncontrollable loss of memories? How would he remember certain indescribable feelings that couldn’t be recorded?
It was as if the heavens had favored Wu Chun by finally allowing him to have Xu Shi Yao.
However, it seemed that heaven didn’t completely favor Wu Chun. On the second day of their being together, they were faced with a separation that would last for a month.
Wu Chun prided himself on not having any attachments to any place, not even his parents. He believed that one day in the future, he would be able to win them over to his side.
But that summer, fate intertwined Wu Chun with a small village that had been momentarily forgotten by time, along with an indestructible soul, creating a strong bond.
From that moment on, Wu Chun had an unbreakable bond.
“I will definitely come back.”
Wu Chun smiled and spoke to the pine tree in front of him.
“No matter how long it takes, as long as I have the chance to come back, I will definitely come back. I will think of you every day, so… you should think of me every day, too.” Wu Chun said with a gentle smile and continued, “After I work hard for a few years, there will come a time when we can be together every day.
After saying these words, Wu Chun hugged the pine tree once again. Although he felt an immense reluctance in his heart, he left Shili Mountain accompanied by the morning dew…
…
At that moment, a gust of wind blew through the treetops of the pine tree and reached Wu Chun’s back.
Wu Chun stopped and turned around. At that moment, under the morning sunlight, he saw two branches that resembled arms gently waving in the breeze…
A soybean:
Good evening everyone!!!!
MY LOVELIES 😭💖💖💖
