A huge flower blossomed in the night sky.
The bedroom was dark, but Jiang Shi's eyes were bright.
It dawned on him that this year, he wasn't alone anymore. The New Year's Eve fireworks were magnificent, just like the smile of the person beside him.
"A Si, if I hadn't met you, I would have killed myself after another semester, gone to what I thought was my release," Jiang Shi said softly. He turned to look at Cheng Si's face.
Perhaps the fireworks were too loud, drowning out his quiet murmur. When Cheng Si looked over, he smiled and asked, "What did you say?"
The joy in his eyes was unmistakable.
Suddenly, Jiang Shi felt that memories were like trying to find a sword by marking the boat it fell from.
Why had he kept holding on to all that pain?
He wanted nothing more than to hold Cheng Si's hand tightly.
"Nothing. I said I love you."
"I love you just as much."
The truth was, Cheng Si had heard him.
That night, he lay awake in bed for a long time.
He looked out the window and spoke softly to the endless night. "Little zombie, I won't let you feel that way again. I'll always love you, and you should love yourself along with me."
