That night, inside the new residence that Ji Yan hadn’t renovated yet, Lu Yichen held Ji Yan around again and again.
Ji Yan gasped, feeling like his waist was about to break.
Sure enough, you should never underestimate a young man’s stamina.
The two did not know for how long they tossed on the bed.
In the quiet of the night, a very tired Ji Yan was finally allowed to sleep.
Lu Yichen looked at the man in his arms, gently kissed his lips and softly whispered: “Trust me; I will grow up into someone you will be proud of”.
……
At noon the next day, Ji Yan took advantage of Lu Yichen going out to buy milk tea to call his idiotic cousin.
As soon as the call went through, Ji Yan impatiently lectured him:” You cheated a child of his money. Don’t you feel guilty about taking his 1000?”
“Cousin, You’re the only one who treats him like a child” the other responded in a lazy voice.
Ji Yan who was lying on the sofa turned over to adjust his posture and said: “I don’t care; you have to return him the money immediately. You two may have to meet a lot in the future. I can’t help you if he holds a grudge against you then.”
The man’s tone suddenly became serious: “Are you sure he is the one? Your feelings are not going to change?”
Ji Yan smiled: “No they won’t. I’m too old for them to change.”
“You have to think more about this, he is so much younger than you, and he is still a college student. It’s the age when there are too many temptations around him. Even if he doesn’t play around now, at his age, it will take a long time for him to mature, and you will have to constantly worry about it.”
“You, Don’t you have any faith in me?” Ji Yan sat up and drank some water, laughing he said: “I have thought about all of this, but who knows what will happen in the future? If he really is going to leave me when I get older, then so be it, I will just hold my father’s money for the rest of my life. Isn’t that fine too?”

“Hahaha, okay, dear Brother, do you mind if I only give him half the money?”
“Rb kjs. Pa kjr cba fjrs obg tlw ab ufa atja 1000. Lf tjv ab ajxf rfnfgji qjga alwf pbyr obg atja.”

“The whole amount?” Ji Yan took the milk tea.
Lu Yichen nodded and inserted the straw into his lid: “Yes he gave it all back.”
“That’s fine then.”
“Brother Yan, do you know what’s going on?”
“I don’t know, maybe he felt guilty about it” Ji Yan bowed his head and drank his milk tea.
Lu Yichen stared at him suspiciously for a moment, but said nothing more.
That night, the wind was a bit strong; Ji Yan lay down on the balcony gazing at the stars in the far distance.
Lu Yichen walked over to him and gently put a coat on his shoulders.
“Look, at night, this city seems to be no different from other cities.”
“No, it is not the same” Lu Yichen said.
“How is it any different?” Ji Yan turned so he could look at him.
The night wind blew Lu Yichen’s black hair away from his forehead, and his handsome face became somewhat hazy under the moonlight.
“The place where you are is of course, different.”
Ji Yan glanced at Lu Yichen’s serious eyes and felt his heart beating very fast. He was not expecting this kind of confession.
Lu Yichen held Ji Yan’s shoulder and asked: “Brother Yan, do you want to permanently live here?”
” I have already bought a house here, where can I live if not here?”
“Then I will buy you a house in the future, will you come live with me then?” Lu Yichen asked cautiously and expectantly.
Without thinking, Ji Yan shook his head.
Here, he has a promising career doing something he loved, he has just bought a new house, and there is his father who is getting old, so he will never leave again.
“I know you want to go back to Suzhou, then just go back, don’t worry about me. Now the transportation has developed so much that we could meet whenever we want to, and if our feelings get weak because of the distance then we will just break up. If we can’t withhold the long distance, how can we commit to be together for the rest of our lives?”
Lu Yichen didn’t expect Ji Yan to say this; he just hugged him tight and didn’t know how to respond.
In fact, Ji Yan himself did not expect to be able to say this.
If it was a few months ago, he would be unreasonably in love with Lu Yichen and be it life or death would not agree to separate from him.
And yet, now, it is not like Ji Yan did not love Lu Yichen anymore, but during this time away from him, he has figured out too many things.
Life is more than just romantic love.
A person should also strive to make his career dreams come true.
He did not want Lu Yichen to give up the opportunity to return to Suzhou after graduation, but he too did not want to give up everything he has here.
Thus, they had to go each on their own way, if their love is strong enough, they can meet in the end.
What is this the end?
A lifetime.
“Lu Yichen, I believe in you, do you believe in me?” Ji Yan held Lu Yichen’s hand and asked.
“I believe” Lu Yichen held him tightly.
Believe, forever.
…
The next day, Lu Yichen got on the train back to Hunan.
In this way, the two began a long distance relationship.
When Lu Yichen had fewer classes or had a holiday, he would take the time to come to Ji Yan, the two would eat together, go shopping, and have fun in bed at night.
On the second day, Lu Yichen would have to take the earliest train to go back.
Many times Ji Yan would be still asleep when Lu Yichen left. Every time he opened his eyes and looked at the empty bed next to him, Ji Yan would be in a daze for a quarter of an hour.
Is he tired of being in a different place?
Tired, very tired, but it is a bittersweet feeling.
Lu Yichen is slowly growing his EQ, before, it was only Ji Yan being the sensible one in their relationship, but now the two are working together.
Once feelings are managed seriously by both parties involved, what was once so fragile will suddenly become unbreakable.
Thank goodness Ji Yan has finally put himself first. Even if the story ended here, I’d be satisfied.
