The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

The group returned to the resident apartment.

Jian Changnian followed him into the office without saying a word.

"Coach Wan, you already knew about Shi'an's retirement?! Why did you only hide it from me, only from me!"

Wan Jing looked at her, and became angry: "Are you here to ask me about your crimes?! Don't tell me, are you going to make trouble in the city again?!"

Jian Changnian rushed in front of him, his eyes were about to split open, and he spoke quickly and quickly. When he looked closely, his whole body was trembling slightly.

"Yesterday, last night, she told me that she would not leave me... and she promised me that she would still play together when she recovered from her injury, just like before. Why... why is she going to retire suddenly? Did the team give her something? Stress!"

"The reason why she wants to retire, don't you know in your own mind?!"

Wan Jing's words were like a bolt from the blue.

Jian Changnian was full of disbelief, took two steps back, turned around and was about to run outside.

"No, it's impossible... You must have lied to me! Liars! They are all liars! I'm going to find Shi'an, and ask her to find out!"

Wan Jing's words made her unable to move.

"Have you seen her wrist? Yes, she usually wears wristbands, and you can't see them."

Jian Changnian stiffened her body and turned her head.

"What do you mean?"

Losing this great general Xie Shi'an, Wan Jing was filled with grief, and at this moment, his eyes were inevitably red as he roared.

"What I mean is, even if she recovers from her injury, an athlete who can't pass the psychological evaluation will not be able to play. Can I protect her once and every time?! What's more, her injury has been... It has reached the end of the mountain!"

"She won't even be able to walk any longer!"

Jian Changnian swayed, supported the table to stand firm, grabbed his collar tightly, and said hoarsely.

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?! I can... can..."

Can her injury be healed?

Can you go and suffer for her?

Can I share it with her?

Can you protect her?

She couldn't even calm the public opinion for her, and she couldn't even notice that her depression relapsed and she started self-harm.

Jian Chang could not utter a word, she could only tremble her lips and shed tears in vain.

Wan Jing's words were more like a knife stabbed deeply into her body, piercing Jian Chang's body to pieces.

"Be more mature! Xie Shi'an's retirement is a last resort, and it is to protect you! Only when she no longer appears on the field, the situation will calm down. Your future is bright, how could she just watch you ruined by these things? Lose!"

Jian Changnian let go of him, shook his head, and stepped back step by step, the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoting rushed in in a hurry.

"It's not good, Coach Wan, Sister An is gone!"

"What do you mean disappearing?! Why did a good living person disappear!"

"I just went to her room to look for her. It was clean and her luggage was still there, but there was no one there. I went to ask the driver. The driver said that she didn't get in the car at all, and her phone was turned off!"

Lu Xiaoting was about to cry.

"Sister An, now...if something happens, what should I do!"

The voice did not fall.

Jian Changnian's eyes went dark, he swayed a few times, almost fell to the ground, and was quickly supported by two people.

"Chang Nian, Chang Nian, what's wrong with you?!"

Jian Changnian struggled, stood up, pushed away their hands, and stumbled out.

"I...I'm fine...I'm going...to find her."

Looking at her figure, Wan Jing also became anxious.

"Hurry up, what are you still doing in a daze, mobilize a few more people to look for it, in the apartment, training room, cafeteria, and the places she usually goes to, the surrounding neighborhood, supermarkets, parks, etc., also look for it, go quickly!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go now!" Lu Xiaoting took out her mobile phone to call her teammates while running outside.

The entire national team was dispatched and almost turned the training base upside down.

"Have you found the training room?"

"I found it, there is no one!"

"What about the cafeteria?"

"Let's not talk about the cafeteria, even the toilet!"

"Coach Wan, I also went to the nearby park, and asked the administrator to check the surveillance, but I didn't see Sister An!"

Wan Jing stood at the gate of the training base with his mobile phone, anxious like ants on a hot pot: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Liu, you two drove my car and went to see Shi'an's house, yes, yes, and the school, we Need to call her counselor..."

Jian Changnian also just ran back from looking around outside, with her hands on her knees, panting: "What, how is it?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Lu Xiaoting hung up the phone and came over, also very anxious.

"I just asked about Sister An's school, but I didn't go back! If it doesn't work, let's call the police!"

"As soon as she's on the front foot... let's call the police on the back foot, don't you think the incident is not big enough?! Hurry up, go find it again!"

Wan Jing clutched his chest, furrowed his brows deeply, and looked as if he might lose his temper at any moment.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Jian Changnian's mind, he gritted his teeth, straightened up again, and rushed to the side of the road to stop a taxi.

"Hey, where are you going?!"

Without thinking about it, Jian Chang opened the car door and sat in it.

"I should know where she is. I'll call you back when I find her."

"Hey, hey, speak clearly!"

Lu Xiaoting still wanted to chase, but the taxi had already stepped on the accelerator and merged into the traffic flow. Jian Changnian took out her mobile phone and called Shi'an, but it turned off without accident.

She was distraught.

"Master, drive faster and go to the airport."

＊＊＊

Jian Changnian bought the latest flight ticket to Jiangcheng City, and it was already late at night when it landed.

She hurried to the cemetery again without stopping.

The driver said while driving: "Little girl, why are you here at night?"

Seeing that the cemetery arrived, she threw a wad of money on the back seat, opened the door and got out of the car.

"You wait for me for a while, I will pay you double."

She ran to Yan Xinyuan's tombstone in one breath, turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone and took a look around, but there was no one there, but the tombstone was as clean as new, and she reached out and touched it without a trace of dust.

Jian Changnian squatted down, leaning on a bunch of fresh white chrysanthemums in front of the tomb, the small flowers were swaying in the wind, and there was still a half-burned incense candle, still warm.

Her eyes were red immediately, who else would come to this place except Shi'an, she must be very sad today, she didn't want to talk to anyone when the phone was turned off, but she still came to visit Coach Yan at the first time.

She touched the photo of the old man on the tombstone and got up: "Coach Yan, don't blame Shi'an, I will come to see you another day."

The master ran back after seeing her within five minutes.

"Where is this going?"

Jiangcheng Gymnasium is not unfamiliar to Jian Changnian. It was here that she participated in the national competition for the first time.

For Xie Shi'an, this is the place where her dreams began, and her first game in her debut was here.

"Okay, Shi'an, well done!"

"It's the last ball, come on!"

When she was little, she was playing games on the court, and her grandfather would carry the water bottle and clothes for her and cheer her up off the court.

Grandpa was happier than she was when the scoreboard lit up.

The child struggled to lift the trophy, and the grandfather hugged her in his arms, lifted her up, and kissed her again and again.

"I knew that we would pick up the security, we would definitely do it!"

"Old Xie, your granddaughter is amazing. She participated in the youth group competition at the age of six and won the first place. Maybe she will become the world champion in the future!"

"Hey, if the child wants to participate, let her participate. Besides, isn't she bullying if she goes to fight the children's group!"

"Is Shi'an tired today? Let's go, grandpa will take you to buy sugar!"

"Grandpa, I want a lollipop!"

"Okay, lollipop!"

…

Xie Shi'an sat in the auditorium, the moonlight from the dome shone in the center of the arena, and fine dust floated in the air.

It seems that a game was held here today, and the scoreboard on the sidelines is still there. After the end of the game, no one knows who dropped a racket and badminton in front of the white net.

Everything is like the end of a movie.

"Grandpa, I won't go to the game in the afternoon, let me stay with you, okay?"

The smell of disinfectant in the hospital ward was choking.

Grandpa sat up from the hospital bed with his hands on his chest, raised his hand and slapped her: "What are you talking about, do you know how many people want to join the Jiangcheng City team every year and want to play professionally?! It's not easy for you There is a chance for this trial! You must go to the afternoon competition!"

The little child stood by the hospital bed and cried loudly.

Seeing how hard she was crying, Grandpa's eyes were also red, he hugged her again, hugged her, took a lollipop from his pocket tremblingly and handed it over.

"Silly boy, you like badminton and you are talented. Why don't you play? Grandpa is fine. Maybe when you come back with the trophy, grandpa will be happy and he will be cured."

The child twitched and gradually stopped crying.

"Really? Grandpa, as long as I come back with the trophy, will your illness be cured?"

Grandpa patted her head again.

"When did grandpa lie to you, stop crying, let's take care of you, and you will definitely be the world champion when you grow up."

Xu Shi's grandfather also knew that he had a serious heart attack, and he might die at any time. There was a meaning in his words, but she was too young to hear it.

"Your parents don't care about you when they quarrel. You have to study hard and have a skill so that you can live well in the future. As long as you are promising, grandpa is better than anything else."

The little child wiped away his tears with the back of his hand.

"I get it, Grandpa, don't cry, I'm going to the competition right now, and I'll definitely bring you back a trophy."

Grandpa let her go.

"Hey, okay, go quickly, Tang, take Tang."

The child held the candy and left the ward in three steps.

after that.

Later, she no longer had a grandfather.

Still here.

"Are you good at playing?! I blame you. We lost the key points in that game, which caused us to lose to other teams!"

As a newcomer, the youngest child in the team could only mutter and apologize.

"I'm sorry, I... I made a mistake, it's all my fault."

"What's the use of saying this now?! Trash, kneel down and kowtow to the big guy to apologize, and we will forgive you!"

"I…"

"You are kneeling! Don't you want to apologize?!"

"Hold her!"

"What are you doing?! Isn't it just losing a game? When everyone makes mistakes, how about beating someone?!"

She looked up, and the girl stopped in front of her.

"If you don't leave, I'll call the coach!"

"Who are you..."

Someone whispered, "Qiao Yuchu, the one who just came to report yesterday..."

"Go, go, bad luck!"

"Are you OK?"

The girl turned around, trying to help her up from the ground, but before she finished speaking, the child pushed her hand away, got up and ran away.

Another period of time passed.

"Coach, coach, my stomach hurts and I have diarrhea. I'm afraid I won't be able to win this game."

Before the game, teammates clutched their stomachs, sat on chairs and yelled.

"What's the matter with you? Didn't I tell you not to eat before the match?! If you stop playing, what about this doubles? Who wants to temporarily form a partner with Shi'an?"

The coach looked around, and everyone looked away.

Xie Shi'an held the racket, pursed the corners of his lips, and his eyes gradually turned red: "Coach, me, how about..."

The girl stood up from the crowd.

"Coach, I want to try."

"Okay, then you two, Qiao Yuchu and Xie Shi'an, let's go. The last match is here, so please do your best."

Before entering the provincial team, Xie Shi'an played almost all of his games here. In the blink of an eye, both of them grew up.

"Today the provincial team came to our team to select good seedlings. There are only three spots, and opportunities are limited. Give me a good fight. Do you hear me?!"

"I heard!"

Xie Shi'an and Qiao Yuchu lightly bumped their fists.

"come on."

"come on!"

"Xie Shi'an won 2:0."

"Qiao Yuchu won 2:1."

"Liu Wen won 2:1."

"These three people come with me, and the others leave."

The two hugged each other excitedly, screaming and jumping.

"Shi'an, I'm in the provincial team!"

"Entered the provincial team!"

Having been with her for many years, a strange emotion finally grew in the young man's heart. She couldn't tell whether it was dependence or liking, but she was young and energetic, and she felt so urgent to keep someone.

She said it anyway.

"Qiao Yuchu, I like you! I love you..."

In exchange for is.

"Xie Shi'an! I'm not gay! I've always treated you like a younger sister, don't you understand?!"

"I don't understand! You don't like me why you treat me so well, take care of me, care about me, tolerate all my shortcomings and bad temper, when the whole world is talking badly about me, you are the only one standing by my side people!"

"Enough! Don't you think these words you said are disgusting? You just think that I treat you well because I am kind, but this kindness ends here."

Later, she didn't have a sister anymore.

It was Coach Yan who pulled her out of the abyss and was the first person who didn't find her disgusting after knowing she was gay.

"Coach Yan, this kind of feeling is very strange, sometimes I can't face myself, I... am a monster."

"It's really a little strange for me, an old-fashioned old man, but it's not strange when I think of you as my apprentice."

"Shi'an, you still have a long way to go."

"One day, you and Chang Nian will become the future twin stars of badminton in this world."

"Yan... Coach Yan... I... I want to play in the Intercontinental Cup, but... is there still time?"

"There's still time, I'll take you and Chang Nian with you when you recover your health."

The chase at the airport.

"Coach Yan, where's your hair? Could it be that you're all bald?"

"Damn girl, do you really think I don't know what you call me behind your back?! Shave it, it's called starting all over again!"

"This is good! In my opinion, Shi'an should also shave one!"

"Don't **** run, stop for me!"

"Asian Cup, here we come!"

Fireworks seen at the port of Yokohama in summer.

That was her last carefree time.

"Cough, cough, cough...why...wine!"

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

"You know I took it wrong and don't tell me!"

"Hey, it's not my fault, I don't know Japanese!"

"Forget it, let's treat it as a celebration bar for you. We will definitely be the most powerful athletes in the future. Maybe we can surpass Jiang Yunli and become the number one in the world!"

"Also, you will definitely meet a very, very, very good person in the future. You two are in love, just like a prince and princess in a fairy tale... No, it's a princess and a princess, living happily together! "

"It's so troublesome, you can get drunk like this with sake."

"Fireworks... over?"

"Ok."

"Shi'an..."

"Ok?"

"Summer will end, and so will the fireworks."

"I will not leave you."

This time, she was going to miss the appointment first.

Jian Changnian approached slowly. The gymnasium was in disrepair for a long time, and the walls were covered with vines. She looked in through the rusty iron window.

Xie Shi'an buried his face in his palm.

There was a low sob in the quiet arena.

With red eyes, she took out her mobile phone and called Wan Jing, and said in a low voice, "The person has been found."

"Hey, hello, where are you now? Hello?!"

Before he could finish speaking, a beep came from the receiver.

Jian Changnian hung up the phone, leaned against the wall, raised her head, pursed the corners of her lips, and tears flowed silently.

"I have struggled all my life, but I have not been able to win the Grand Slam for your teacher and wife. I am old, so I have to retire. I wanted to train my daughter to be a talent, but who knew..."

"Coach Yan, don't worry, I will fulfill your wish and your teacher's wife's wish for you!"

after that.

"Coach Wan, please make it clear what it means to be in the ICU and being rescued. He was fine when we left!"

"He was in the late stage of lung cancer when he was found out, and he has been hiding it from you for fear that you will be sad!"

"Stop, there is still one more game, where are you going?!"

"It was the same when my grandfather passed away. I didn't have time to see him for the last time because I was playing a game!"

"Do you think that if you go back and meet him, he will live? Let me tell you, my senior brother has already lost his life!"

"His greatest wish in this life is to see you win an Olympic gold medal and fulfill his dream of a Grand Slam!"

"He has struggled for this dream for forty years. Xie Shi'an, don't let him down again!"

Later, she lost the game, and even lost her most beloved master.

"Shi'an, you're back...the game...won...did you win?"

"Coach Yan, I won...I brought you back the gold medal...you touch it...you touch it..."

"Coach Yan!"

Sitting in the dark, Xie Shi'an bent down deeply, and finally let out the first wail from the depths of his throat.

"When are you going to die? Fake greyhound."

Eggs smashed from behind.

"Squeeze Yin Jiayi down and beat yourself up like that, are you worthy of standing in the Olympic Games?"

Glue stuck in the keyhole.

"Say, it's a chance to get a chance after sleeping with the leader a few times."

Black and white photos scattered around.

"That's how it is. Our national team absolutely does not allow players with taints. We will suspend them for a period of time and wait until everything is investigated."

Flames rising in the living room.

The flames engulfed her and warmed her.

"Why did you save me?!"

"Coach Yan is gone, I only have you!"

For Xie Shi'an, Yan Xinyuan and Qiao Yuchu were both people who held lamps in the dark to illuminate her way forward, but Jian Changnian was different. She was a fellow traveler who walked forward in the dark, and the two stumbled and stayed together until now.

"Shi'an, you told everyone Happy New Year today, and mine, I want it too."

"I hope you will be happy every year."

"Well, the fans gave me two tickets to the playground. If you don't go, it will expire. Do you... want to go?"

"Go, wait for me to change clothes."

"Give this flower to you, it's my apology to you, and... Happy Qixi Festival!"

"Happy Tanabata."

"After watching the whole game today, I can only use two words to describe their cooperation."

"What word?"

"Floating clouds and flowing water are seamless with sky/clothes."

"Security inspection combination, invincible!"

"I have no way to comment on today's game. If I had to say something, I would say that they are the uncrowned kings, and it's an honor to lose!"

"Here, I'll give it to you. I have plenty of that stuff."

"Sister An won't go, she will come home with me!"

"Contestant Xie Shi'an and grandma are the most important people in my life."

"I have liked him for so many years, and this is the first time I have come to watch his concert live!"

"What did you say?!"

"I said I liked—"

"That profile looks like Xie Shi'an."

"Is the one next to her Jane Changnian?"

The music that stopped abruptly was the same as their relationship that ended without a disease.

"The patient has played basketball all year round, and the pressure on the knee is greater than that of ordinary people. This time when the film came out, the meniscus was completely broken, and it was meaningless to suture it."

"Doctor, no matter how much money you spend or what method you use, I beg you to cure her!"

"Of course the best way is to change to an artificial knee. It's just that... the surgery can be done, and the recovery period can be up to half a year. Can she afford to wait?"

"Coach Wan, I'm not going to have surgery, I'm going to participate in the Olympics."

"Athlete Xie Shi'an played with an injury this time in the Olympics."

"Because of the competition system, only one of the two of them can make it to the semi-finals."

"Xie Shi'an will definitely be under more pressure. After all, there is only one Olympic gold medal short, which is the Grand Slam."

"Jane Changnian is a rookie player. This is her first time participating in the Olympics. If she wins gold, she will create a new history."

"Referee, I abstain."

"Xie Shi'an, you gay, go to hell!"

"Shi'an, be careful!"

"What happened at the airport last time, I don't want it to happen again. For her own good, it's better not to play together."

"Her legs can't even walk without an artificial knee!"

"The patient was diagnosed with moderate depression. That's it. Sometimes a major operation brings not only physical changes to the patient, but also more or less psychological..."

"Coach Wan, I want to try again, one last time."

"Xie Shi'an, don't be ashamed, get out!"

"Gays get out of the badminton world!"

"You can lose to anyone, why lose to Jin Nanzhi, you traitor!"

"I said, no matter what you become, my heart for you is still the same as before. Xie Shi'an, can't you take a look at me?!"

"Nice to meet you, but I too... really can't hold on anymore."

"Finally, I wish contestant Jian Changnian a bright future and bright future."

…

Through a door, the voice inside went from suppressed sobs at the beginning, to low sobs, and finally to grief.

Her crying sounded so sad, so heartbreaking, so hysterical.

All the love, all the grievances, all the unwillingness, all the pain, all the regrets over the years.

It's just a dream, passing by.

Xie Shi'an cried loudly in a place where no one was around.

I can only cry loudly in no one's place.

Jian Changnian stood outside, didn't bother her, just burst into tears with her.

She stuffed the back of her hand into her mouth, biting herself until her skin was broken and bleeding, and she didn't let herself cry out.

＊＊＊

"Yo, you're back?!"

"Well, it's still the same."

After coming out of the gymnasium, Jian Changnian followed her all the way back to the entrance of the community, watching her enter a snack bar nearby.

"I know, a bowl of spicy rice noodles, add more spicy, and a marinated egg, please sit down, sit down, it will be ready soon!"

The roadside stall that was once placed at the gate of the community, after two generations of operation, finally rented a store in the ground floor shop downstairs, not only selling rice noodles and spicy noodles, but also various barbecues, home-cooked dishes and snacks.

Summer is here, and there are still many people who come out to enjoy the shade at night, and there are a few tables on the sidewalk, almost all of which are full.

"Your business is pretty good."

The man served the marinated eggs first.

"Hey, it's all thanks to you. After you become famous, everyone knows that you come here often, so they all want to eat... the same style of rice noodles as the world champion!"

Xie Shi'an smiled slightly and stopped talking.

Women in aprons bustle in front of the grill.

"Husband, the ones at table 2 are ready, you can bring them over."

"Hey, here we come."

The couple lowered their voices while they were busy.

"You didn't read the news! I don't know... mention it!"

"Oh, I was so busy and forgot!"

"I will add two more dishes to people once, and I won't charge for it."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Not long after, the rice noodles were brought to the table, and the man prepared two more plates of crayfish, grilled some beef skewers and vegetarian dishes.

Xie Shi'an was startled: "This is..."

The man scratched his head: "That...we...we thank our old customers..."

Xie Shi'an didn't expose him either.

"Is there any wine?"

Several bottles of beer were placed on the table.

"Yes, you can drink whatever you want tonight."

Until the moon gradually sinks to the west, people who enjoy the shade also go home.

The boss moved the table into the store, and looked back to see that Xie Shi'an was still lying on his stomach, with a pile of empty wine bottles scattered around his hand.

"What...how about this?"

"Call it, call it, wake it up and try."

Just as the couple were about to wake her up, Jian Changnian walked in: "I'll do it."

"You..." The boss looked at her suspiciously.

"I'm Jian Changnian, her friend, have you forgotten?"

The boss slapped his forehead and finally remembered.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and everything has changed! Fortunately, you are here, otherwise we don't know what to do."

Jian Changnian squatted down, ready to carry her on her back.

"Help me out, thank you tonight."

"Hey, thank you for everything, they are all old acquaintances."

Jian Chang wanted to give them money, but the couple insisted on refusing, Xie Shi'an was so drunk that he had no choice but to take her away first.

In the past, I only remembered the feeling when she carried her on her back. There seemed to be great energy in the small bones, warm and firm.

Now that she is the one to carry her, I realize that she is so light, and her injuries and illnesses have tortured her to such an extent that she can fall down when the wind blows.

Thinking of this, Jian Chang's eyes turned red again, and she lifted the person up. She knew that Xie Shi'an couldn't hear him now, so she was talking to people in a rambling manner.

"You said you would come back when you come back, anyway, tell Coach Wan, I'm afraid he will have a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot."

"And I... If I can't find you again, I will go to Coach Yan and your grandfather's grave to apologize with my death."

"I understand that you are in a bad mood and want to drink, but how can you drink so much by yourself, don't you?"

"Anyway, you have to call me."

"Look, it's not me who carries you back when I'm drunk."

She carried her on her back and walked straight along the Wutong Road at the gate of the community. Xie Shi'an put his head on her shoulder.

In the summer night, the only thing that is quiet is the chirping of insects, the mottled shadows of the trees, and under the dim streetlights, their figures are cuddling tightly together.

Jian Changnian wished that this road could be longer.

But no matter how long the road is, it will eventually come to an end.

Jian Changnian took her home, helped her onto the bed, took off her shoes, wet a towel with hot water, and wiped her face gently. There was a throbbing pain in the ground, and the movements became more cautious.

She looked at her carefully again.

Thinner, with a pointed chin.

Eyelashes are very long, brows are frowning, and he looks like he can't sleep well.

It's still so white, the lip color is also pale, and the whole person is covered with a layer of sickness.

By the way, the wrist.

Jian Changnian put down the towel, looked at her, bit her lip, and gently took off her wristband, all of a sudden she was shocked.

There are old and new scars.

The latest one is still bloody.

Jian Changnian covered her lips with her hand to prevent herself from crying, but small sobs still flowed out.

"Even if she recovers from her injury, an athlete who cannot pass the psychological evaluation will not be able to compete!"

"Xie Shi'an's retirement is a last resort, and it is to protect you! You have a bright future, how could she just watch you ruined because of these things!"

Wan Jing's words were still in his ears, and his whole mind was buzzing.

Jian Changnian couldn't bear it anymore, stumbled and got up, rushed to the door, closed the door, slid and sat on the ground, her shoulders shook violently, and she couldn't cry.

When she came back again, holding a cotton swab and gauze in her hand, she dipped in iodine bit by bit to gently disinfect her.

Xie Shi'an in his sleep frowned and flinched.

Jian Changnian patted her lightly, coaxing softly, while talking, tears fell down again.

"It's okay, it's okay, Shi'an, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt anymore..."

Xie Shi'an's frown slowly relaxed.

Jian Changnian also wiped her tears with the back of her hand, wrapped the sterilized wound with gauze, and finally put the wristband on her.

When she got up, her eyes fell on her face again.

Xie Shi'an who was asleep was so quiet.

The eyelashes trembled, and with the even breathing, the chest heaved up and down, and the lips were slightly pursed. It seemed that he was really drunk.

She slowly leaned over and tentatively said, "Shi'an..."

The person lying on the bed was unresponsive.

Jian Changnian looked at her lips, slowly leaned over, and stopped less than one centimeter away from her.

She still pressed the kiss to her forehead and whispered.

"I like you."
