Chapter 521: When Will We Meet Again?
Chapter 521: When Will We Meet Again?
The night is as dark as ink, dotted with stars, and the moonlight shines through the thin clouds, scattering mottled light on the quiet alley.
At the end of the alley, a bookstore called "Moxiang Pavilion" still has dim lights on, as if it is the only warm harbor in the night.
Inside the store, two figures were immersed in a sea of books with their heads down. One was the gentle and elegant Lin Yi, and the other was the cold and aloof Jiang Chen.
Although they have very different personalities, they are connected by their common love for books and become indispensable in each other's lives.
Lin Yi gently closed the book in his hand and looked at Jiang Chen tenderly. It was a collection of classical poetry.
He murmured softly, "'I don't know when we'll meet again, but I feel embarrassed at this moment and night.' These twelve short words sounded like the sound of nature to me."
Jiang Chen looked up upon hearing this. His deep eyes seemed to hold an endless sea of stars. He smiled faintly, a smile that contained both warmth and a subtle throbbing emotion. "Really? For me, it's the same."
An indescribable warmth surged in Lin Yi's heart. He could no longer suppress his inner excitement. He slowly stood up and walked in front of Jiang Chen.
The two were so close that their breaths intertwined.
Lin Yi held Jiang Chen's face, gently stroking his well-defined features with his fingertips, his eyes flashing with a fiery light.
He lowered his head and kissed Jiang Chen affectionately on his lips.
This kiss was like a spring breeze blowing across the frozen lake, instantly melting all the coldness and barriers.
Jiang Chen was already feeling agitated, and was stunned by the sudden kiss. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but more of it was joy and obedience.
He let Lin Yi take what he wanted, his hands unconsciously wrapped around Lin Yi's waist, responding to this gentle and passionate kiss.
Lin Yi felt Jiang Chen's response and became bolder. He hugged Jiang Chen tightly and deepened the kiss.
The tips of their tongues lingered in their mouths, as if they wanted to rub each other into their bodies and become one.
The air is filled with the faint fragrance of ink and affection, and the entire bookstore seems to be immersed in warmth and romance.
After a long time, the two slowly separated, both breathing heavily, with blushes on their cheeks.
Lin Yi looked at Jiang Chen affectionately and said softly, "Chen, do you know? From the first time I saw you, I was attracted by your temperament. Your coldness and your aloofness made me unable to stop. I think I have fallen in love with you."
Jiang Chen's eyes flickered with emotion. He gently held Lin Yi's hand and said in a low but firm voice, "Yi, me too. It's just that I've never dared to express my feelings. I'm afraid you'll dislike me, and that our relationship won't be accepted by the world."
Hearing this, Lin Yi shook his head vigorously and pressed Jiang Chen's hand tightly against his chest: "Chen, don't think like that. In this world, nothing is more important than true love. I don't care about worldly eyes or other people's opinions. I only care about you. As long as you can be with me, I will be satisfied."
Jiang Chen's eyes moistened. He looked at Lin Yi with emotion, his voice choked with sobs: "Yi, thank you. Thank you for accepting me and for being willing to face the future with me."
The two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to rub each other into their bones and never want to separate again.
Inside the bookstore, the lights are still dim and warm, witnessing the encounter and fusion of two lonely hearts.
From that day on, the relationship between Lin Yi and Jiang Chen took a qualitative leap.
They are no longer just book buddies or friends, but the most important partners in each other's lives.
They visited bookstores together, drank tea and discussed poetry together, and strolled in the alleys at night, enjoying their sweet time.
However, the good times did not last long, and their relationship was still questioned and opposed by the outside world.
Lin Yi's parents are from the traditional older generation and they cannot accept their son being with a man.
They tried every possible means to separate the two, even threatening to sever ties.
Faced with such pressure, Lin Yi and Jiang Chen both felt extremely painful and helpless.
They thought about giving up and escaping from this world, but every time they saw each other's determined eyes, they found the courage to go on.
One night, the two of them met at the beach, the sea breeze caressed their faces, and the waves crashed against the beach, making a series of noises.
They sat side by side on the beach, gazing at the boundless starry sky, their hearts filled with confusion and longing for the future.
Lin Yi was the first to break the silence: "Chen, do you think we will always be together?"
Jiang Chen held Lin Yi's hand tightly, his eyes firm: "I will, Yi. As long as we believe in each other, nothing can stop us."
Lin Yi nodded, but a trace of worry still flashed in his eyes: "But, my parents..."
Jiang Chen patted Lin Yi's shoulder gently and comforted him, "Yi, don't think too much. We must believe in the power of time. It will slowly change everything. As long as we persevere, one day, they will understand us."
When Lin Yi heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He hugged Jiang Chen tightly, as if to dispel all his anxiety and fear: "Chen, thank you. With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything."
The two slept in each other's arms and made an eternal vow under the starlight.
They know that the road ahead is still long, but as long as they rely on each other, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several years have passed.
Lin Yi and Jiang Chen's feelings remain the same as before, and they have proved with their actions that true love is invincible.
Lin Yi's parents gradually accepted their relationship. Although they were still somewhat unwilling and helpless, when they saw their son's happiness, they gradually let go of their obsession.
This day is the wedding of Lin Yi and Jiang Chen.
They chose a sunny day and held a simple and warm wedding in a small garden full of romance.
There are no gorgeous decorations, no complicated ceremonies, only two loving hearts tightly attached to each other.
At the wedding, Lin Yi wore a custom-made suit, looking handsome and elegant; Jiang Chen wore a pure white suit, looking like a prince in a fairy tale.
They stood hand in hand among the flowers, with happy smiles on their faces.
As the priest read the vows, both of them had a glint of determination in their eyes.
They solemnly made a promise to each other that no matter whether the future was calm or turbulent, they would go through it hand in hand and never separate.
As the pastor's blessing sounded, the two exchanged rings affectionately.
At that moment, all eyes were focused on them, as if the whole world had stopped for them.
Lin Yi gently put the ring on Jiang Chen's finger, then gently kissed his forehead: "Chen, you are my eternity."
Jiang Chen's eyes were moist. He hugged Lin Yi tightly, his voice choked with sobs: "Yi, me too. I will always love you."
After the ceremony, the two strolled hand in hand in the garden.
The sunlight shone on them through the gaps in the leaves, creating mottled light and shadows.
They laughed and chatted, enjoying this hard-earned happiness.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen stopped and looked at Lin Yi seriously: "Yi, you know what? I never thought I would be so lucky to meet you, fall in love with you, and be with you. You are the most beautiful miracle in my life."
Lin Yi looked at Jiang Chen with emotion, his eyes gleaming with happiness: "Chen, me too. Meeting you is the most beautiful scenery in my life."
The two smiled at each other, as if all the suffering and setbacks had turned into nothingness.
They know that as long as they love and support each other, nothing can stop them from pursuing happiness.
Night falls and the stars are shining.
Lin Yi and Jiang Chen sat side by side in front of the window, looking at the vast starry sky.
Their hearts are full of longing and expectations for the future.
They know that the road ahead is still long, but as long as they rely on each other and work together, they will be able to create a bright future of their own.
"Chen, look at that star, it's so bright." Lin Yi said, pointing to a bright star in the sky.
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is just like our love, bright and dazzling."
Lin Yi held Jiang Chen's hand tightly: "Chen, no matter what the future holds, we must be like this star, always shining with our own light."
Jiang Chen looked at Lin Yi affectionately: "Yes, Yi. We will continue to shine forever."
Outside the window, the night is gentle and peaceful; inside the window, two loving hearts are closely dependent on each other.
They knew that this was the happiness they wanted - simple, ordinary and yet extremely sincere.
