As a teenager, Chu Sheng thought his deskmate was so quiet and good-looking, like a gentle spring breeze softly brushing across his face.
Chu Sheng had always known that Shen Mo liked him. But on the day Shen Mo confessed to him during the college entrance exam season, the reason the boy looked at him with red-rimmed eyes was not happiness.
After that, Chu Sheng could never find the gentle boy he had loved for a year again.
_
After many years apart, the little boy from back then had grown into a tall, handsome young man. He still wore the fine black chain around his neck, with its pale blue pendant, and his smile was still as gentle and lovely as ever.
Chu Sheng watched Shen Mo approach him with a glass of wine. Shen Mo had been the one with red-rimmed eyes that day, but now Chu Sheng’s eyes reddened against his will.
At last, he was seeing A Mo again...
He wanted so badly to tell him, "I missed you so much."
The hand holding Chu Sheng’s wine glass trembled slightly. Despite his fierce appearance, he choked up as he looked at the young man before him. "Long time no see, A Mo. A-are you doing well?"
Shen Mo did not answer. He simply set down both his and Chu Sheng’s glasses, took Chu Sheng by the hand, and led him to a corner. Then he buried himself in the chest he had missed for so long and said with a smile, "Long time no see. I missed you so much."
I was waiting for you, and you ran to me.
A Sheng, my god, I will be your eternal believer.
For you, I broke free of that terrible shackle, only to willingly put an eternal one on myself for you.
_
Chu Sheng gently touched Shen Mo’s neck, where he had removed his necklace not long ago, and kissed him at the Adam’s apple, tender and devout. "A Mo, I love you."
A Mo, the shackle bearing my name was never a restraint.
It is how I will spend my whole life telling you, "I love you."
