Chapter 149
Last night was a bit late, and the next morning around 10 o’clock, the two slowly opened their eyes. Chu Yang’s head was nestled in Chi Yan’s embrace, with one of Chi Yan’s hands wrapped around her.
Chu Yang rubbed her eyes and sat up, patting Chi Yan’s chest, “Ah Yan, get up, I’m hungry.”
Chi Yan quickly pulled her back into the quilt, leaning in to gently nibble on her shoulder, and the two of them played around a bit more before finally getting up.
For lunch, they ordered takeout, as there was nothing in the fridge except water, since they hadn’t gone out to buy anything the day before.
In the afternoon, they got dressed in matching outfits – long black down jackets, black pants, and striped scarves – and went out. They first went window shopping, then planned to watch the movie “Long Live the Motherland” in the evening, which they had previously arranged.
With plenty of time, they also strolled through the park and took some photos together.
Around 6 pm, they went to have dinner, then walked a bit to aid digestion before heading to the cinema around 8 pm. The movie was quite popular, with the theater packed even on a weekday.
This was Chu Yang’s second time watching it, and she was still deeply moved. After the film ended, Chi Yan carefully wiped her tears with a tissue.
“Don’t cry, our motherland is already strong, and it will only grow stronger in the future.”
“Mm-hmm,” Chu Yang responded with a slightly nasal voice.
A couple sitting nearby saw them and the woman poked the man, “Look at them.”
The man pointed to his own tears, “You see, even I’m crying, you should comfort me too.”
The woman: …
It was past 10 pm when the movie ended, but the two were in no rush to go back. They went to the supermarket, then slowly walked hand-in-hand on the almost-deserted sidewalk, with trees providing a tranquil, serene atmosphere. In this peaceful setting, Chi Yan felt like they could walk together forever.
As they were walking, it suddenly started snowing.
Chu Yang held out her hand to catch a snowflake, then looked up, “Ah Yan, it’s snowing.”
Chi Yan also looked up, “Mm-hmm.”
They stood there gazing at the snow falling on them, not minding it at all. Then Chi Yan looked down at Chu Yang, gently brushing the snow off her head, and smiled tenderly, his eyes sparkling like stars. “Central?”
“Mm?”
“Do we look like we’ll grow old together?”
Chu Yang looked into his eyes, feeling like she could get lost in them. There was a dusting of white on his head as well. “Mm.”
Chi Yan leaned down towards her, and Chu Yang closed her eyes. Their noses brushed first, then their lips met in a deep, passionate kiss.
…
As the snow grew heavier, they decided not to linger outside any longer and returned to the car to drive home.
“When school starts, I’ll get my driver’s license,” Chu Yang mentioned her plan. Her face was still flushed, her eyes slightly reddened, and her lips somewhat swollen.
“Okay, I can teach you when we have time,” Chi Yan said.
“Mm-hmm.”
By the time they got home, it was already past midnight. They freshened up and went to bed.
The next day, Chu Yang suddenly remembered the poison she had made during the winter break, and took it out to explain to Chi Yan, “This drug is so terrifying, if you get even a little bit on you, it could be fatal. You absolutely cannot touch it.” She hadn’t left it at her home, mainly because she was worried that if Chu’s Mom cleaned her room, she might accidentally find it.
Chi Yan understood, “Okay, I won’t go near it.”
Chu Yang said, “I need to hide it really well, I’m so afraid of someone getting their hands on it.”
Chi Yan found a small lockbox, “Put it in here, I’ll give you the key. No one else can open it except you.”
“Okay.”
After safely storing the poison, Chu Yang started reading the book on making elixirs. The elixirs had some impressive effects – healing skin and bones, beautifying, even treating certain male issues. But the ingredients were so rare and expensive, some may not even exist in this world – things like snow crystals from the peak of Mount Everest, lotus seeds from the rare bloom of a century flower, or seaweed from a thousand meters under the sea.
While Chu Yang studied the book, Chi Yan worked out. It was already the 18th, and Chu Yang would have to return to school the next day.
Time flew by quickly, and Chu Yang was packing her things. Chi Yan hovered nearby, hesitating, wanting to say something but holding back. Chu Yang noticed, “If you want to say something, just say it.”
Chi Yan came closer, resting his head on her shoulder, “What if you don’t go back? Can you move in with me instead? I don’t want to be apart from you.”
Chu Yang paused her packing. She had already been spending about half her time at Chi Yan’s place, and they were practically living together. It was more convenient there, since the witch’s books were all kept at Chi Yan’s. But she was still a bit hesitant about fully cohabiting – the saying goes that distance makes the heart grow fonder, and she worried that being together all the time might lead to more friction.
Chi Yan wrapped his arms around her waist, looking at her pleadingly, “Please? Will you do it?”
Chu Yang continued packing, “Let me think about it. But I do need to go back to the dorm tonight.” Fị𝒏dd 𝒏ew upd𝒂t𝒆s on n(o)v/e/l𝒃in(.)com
Hearing that she would consider it, Chi Yan was already pleased. He no longer insisted, and instead helped her pack. “Central, do you need to take this?” he asked, pulling a small piece of lingerie from his drawer.
Chu Yang covered her eyes, her ears instantly reddening, “Put that down!”
Chi Yan placed it in her suitcase, “Okay, it’s packed.”
Chu Yang lowered her hand, her blush still not faded, “It’s getting late, you go make dinner, I’ll finish packing.”
“Okay.”
Chi Yan went to the kitchen, and Chu Yang hurried to his closet, pulling out all her other clothes – underwear, pajamas, and more. Goodness, how did she accumulate so much here?
What she didn’t know was that every time, Chi Yan would neatly fold her clothes and put them away in his own closet, mixing them in with his own.
After finishing the packing, Chu Yang went to the kitchen to help Chi Yan. They spent half an hour cooking, then it was time to eat.
After the meal, they rested for a bit before Chi Yan drove Chu Yang to the campus. They kissed for a long time at the dorm building, and Chi Yan only let her go when she disappeared into the dorm.
Chu Yang pushed open the door, and Jin Yang and the others looked over, “We thought you might not come back tonight!”
Chu Yang shook her head, “No, I came back a couple days ago already.”
She didn’t say the whole truth, but Jin Yang and the others could guess that Chu Yang had spent the extra time with her boyfriend Chi Yan.
After all, they couldn’t see each other during the entire winter break, so Chu Yang must have come a little earlier to accompany Chi Yan, her doting boyfriend. And Chi Yan doted on Chu Yang just as much in return – that’s just how their affectionate relationship is.
