"Can you promise to date me?"

Yu Jin felt that his throat was a little tight, and he was so excited that he forgot how to make a sound: "I..."

The light in Ding He's eyes dimmed for a moment, he lowered his hand, and smiled reluctantly: "Is it too sudden? It doesn't matter, you can think about it slowly."

Yu Jin felt a little terrified of the power suddenly removed from his shoulders, as if he would lose something important forever if he didn't take the initiative.

He hurriedly grabbed Ding He's hand, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against his shoulder, hoping to gain peace of mind: "I promise you."

There was obvious shyness in his tense voice.

Ding He's eyes lit up suddenly, he held his shoulders in disbelief, and lowered his head to confirm his expression: "Really?"

Even though he managed to remain calm, his voice was still trembling with excitement.

Yu Jin still lowered his head and dared not look at his expression. From this angle, he could still feel the warmth of Ding He's eyes, like the dazzling sunlight, which made him not dare to look directly.

"It's true."

Ding He still didn't seem to believe it completely, and confirmed it several times. Yu Jin was embarrassed and annoyed, and almost growled: "It's true, believe it or not!"

Ding He obediently dared not speak, and held his hand: "Then let's go home."

Yu Jin He was led home in a chaotic manner, and only when he entered the room and threw himself on the bed did he feel a touch of reality.

What had been fantasizing for a long time became reality, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

The excitement gradually faded, and people began to worry about gains and losses. Various tragic endings had poured into his mind, causing him to fall into loss and doubt again.

He knew that sooner or later he would be killed by this pessimistic character.

He got up from the bed, took a shower, and knocked on the door with the gift for Ding He.

Ding He, who was also immersed in excitement, also failed to fall asleep. Although he got up early, he tossed and turned under the quilt.

He began to recall the experience just now over and over again, trying to determine whether Yu Jin was forced to retreat or not.

He wasn't actually going to make such a hasty confession, but more and more people appeared beside Yu Jin, and the situation was getting out of control.

In his plan, he wants to infiltrate himself into every aspect of Yu Jin's life. Even if Yu Jin doesn't realize it, as soon as Yu Jin leaves him, he will recall his importance.

He actually didn't care whether Yu Jin liked him or not, he just hoped that Yu Jin could not leave him.

People are always changeable, no relationship can last for a long time, and it is always interests that can support the connection between two people. Just like butterflies don't stay on the same flower forever, he knows that Yu Jin will get tired of him one day.

But he didn't want to be the abandoned flower, so he chose to use the petals to trap the butterfly in the center of the flower, so that he could never leave.

To keep the person you love by your side, you must use some means.

His parents were also in love with each other at the beginning, and they still went to tragedy after marriage. Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he actually has a strong desire for control and possessiveness just like his father.

It's just that he knows that he can't simply express his desire for control on the bright side.

The canary in the cage will one day long for the blue sky. If the canary is trapped in the cage at this time, he will surely die of depression.

But if he loses his ability to survive in the wild, he will definitely come back on his own.

A better way is to make the whole blue sky belong to you. But he can't do it yet.

The fact that Yu Jin insisted on being divided into classes made him feel a little panic. He found that Yu Jin's growth exceeded his control, so he had to speed up the progress.

Since that senior appeared, his emotions have been a little out of control. He was afraid that Yu Jin would be attracted by this novelty and had to get rid of him first.

In fact, before the confession, his mind had already revolved hundreds of times in the n-part of the Little Black House. If Yu Jin refuses, he will always follow Yu Jin, and when his strength is strong enough, he will be locked up.

Yu Jin's reaction was actually a surprise, which all of a sudden softened his anxiety and made him leave those dark thoughts behind. But once calmed down, he began to persuade himself that he must not take it lightly.

This is definitely not the end, the other party may want to leave at any time, he will find a way to keep him forever.

The sound of the door opening is particularly clear at night. Ding He heard footsteps approaching him, his heartbeat quickened a little, and he got out of bed to open the door.

As soon as Yu Jin knocked on the door, he saw Ding He appeared in front of him and looked at him with a smile: "Is something wrong?"

Yu Jin found that his throat was a little itchy again, and the conversation that had been choreographed in his mind before followed the disordered breathing. Formed into a ball, he could only stiffen his body and say, "I have something for you."

Ding He let him enter the room sideways, closed the door, and looked at him expectantly: "What is it."

Yu Jin rudely stuffed the gift into the room. In his hand, he turned his face away and did not look directly at him, but his voice was firm and strong: "As a return gift."

Ding He's fingers rubbed the gift box in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "You have been preparing for a long time. Has it been?"

"It's not too long. I was planning to give it to you for your birthday."

Yu Jin took a few deep breaths, and finally adjusted his breathing, and his voice became a lot more natural.

"I can interpret this as, do you actually like me too?"

Yu Jin widened his eyes and looked at his face reflexively: "I like you already."

Ding He's eyes were gentle, but there was still a hidden hidden in his eyes. Anxiety: "Don't lie to me. I will take everything you say."

Yu Jin could feel the sadness surrounding him, and his voice lowered: "I have always liked you."

He repeated several times, trying to appease Ding He's emotions.

A hint of slyness flashed in Ding He's eyes, and he opened his arms: "Then can you hug me?"

Yu Jin was a little overwhelmed, but he still hugged him and patted his back lightly: "Don't be afraid. ."

Ding He's arms were slightly folded, his head was placed on his shoulders, and he sniffed the fragrance of the shower gel on his body: "I may be too happy, I can't believe it.

" Can sleep peacefully.

The tip of Yu Jin's nose was a little sour: "Have you liked me for a long time?"

"I don't know, it must have been a long time." Ding He half-squinted his eyes and rubbed against his neck. Yu Jin, who had just taken a bath, looked even more delicious, making him want to take a bite.

Yu Jin felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry, I should have found out sooner. I lost my temper because of these things before, which made you worry."

"I'll be very happy if you promise me, I should have told you earlier. I I didn't expect you to be so upset."

It's his job to give his lover enough security.

What's more, in his heart, it was far from the level of "losing his temper".

"Then... do you think I'm good-looking?" Yu Jin asked cautiously.

Ding He replied without hesitation: "Good-looking."

Yu Jin was silent for a while, and then asked: "Do you like me because I'm good-looking?"

Ding He never thought he would have this kind of thought, a little funny The answer: "No."

Yu Jin was very serious: "I will grow old and ugly one day - maybe even without waiting for a long time. If you feel unacceptable at that time, just tell me directly."

The only one to blame is the words of a certain senior, which made him feel uneasy. His appearance has been exaggerated since he was a child, and he doesn't feel it, but others seem to have different ideas.

Since there are people who blindly pursue him simply because of his appearance, how can he be sure that Ding He's feelings for him have such an element?

Even if it's because of that it doesn't matter. All he worries about is that it's a virtue that won't stay attractive for long.

"What are you thinking about?" Ding He stood up straight, stroked his face, and looked at him with nostalgia, "I admit that you are beautiful and attractive enough to me, but that doesn't matter. The important thing is that you Pulled me out of the pain."

On the day he witnessed the tragedy, Yu Jin chose to stay by his side and bear with him. In fact, these things have nothing to do with Yu Jin at all, he can completely leave, and even stay away in fear because of his father's crimes.

Without Yu Jin's company, he may never be able to get out of the shadow of his father's wife murder.

Yu Jin lowered his eyelids: "You pulled me out first."

When he was most helpless and lonely, only one person was willing to lend a helping hand.

"If I suddenly lose my mental support, I may collapse." Ding He pretended to be relaxed, "Don't regret it suddenly."

Yu Jinqing solemnly promised: "I won't."

"Okay, believe me now? Ding He rubbed his hair, "Let me see what gift you have prepared."

Yu Jin blushed, and suddenly became nervous: "I'll go back and look at it again."

On the other hand, he leaned into his ear and said softly, "Actually, you can treat yourself as a gift." The

voice was low and gentle, like a feather scratching the pinna, making the ear feel soft.

Yu Jin felt that he must not stay for long, and hurriedly opened the door to prepare to go back.

He walked to the door, suddenly stopped, turned his head reluctantly, and asked in a low voice, "Can you kiss me again?"

"Where is the kiss?" Ding He held the door frame with his hands, almost face to face with him.

"It's fine." Yu Jin looked down at the ground.

A light kiss fell on his cheek, Yu Jin felt a sweetness in his heart, just as he was about to leave, he found that Ding He was holding the door handle first, surrounding him between himself and the door, and the light kiss fell to the tip of his nose, murmuring in his mouth : "If you don't make it clear, I'll kiss it all over again."

Yu Jin was kissed all over his face by him, and his thoughts started to get confused.

In a daze, he felt that it would be great if it could go on like this forever.

It would be nice if there was no separation.

***

During the summer vacation, Yu Jin and Ding He made an appointment to travel to an ancient city.

The opportunity for this choice is very strange. Yu Jin accidentally saw a photo of a homestay and wanted to experience life.

According to his words, the decoration of the homestay was almost completely in line with his aesthetics, giving him a feeling that he had to go.

Of course Ding He has no opinion. In fact, high school is heavy, and it is difficult for them to find such a large amount of free time.

And it's very exciting to think about two people being alone in a strange place.

Travel planning is done together by two people. In fact, apart from the place to stay, Yu Jin has no requirements at all.

As soon as he got on the high-speed rail, Yu Jin looked drowsy and closed his eyes against Ding He's shoulder.

The summer sun is too hot. Ding He pulled the curtains, adjusted to a more comfortable posture, hugged Yu Jin's waist, and checked the travel information of the destination.

The owner of the homestay called in time to ask about their itinerary and plan to chase them. Ding He politely refused, but the other party had no choice but to leave his contact number.

Yu Jin had slept soundly, but suddenly sat up straight and stared blankly ahead.

Ding He handed him the water: "Have you had a nightmare?" The

cool water slid down his throat, finally dispelling the heat and dryness on Yu Jin's skin. He rubbed his forehead and said wearily: "It should be a nightmare, I dreamed of a fire."

Ding He pulled the curtains again: "Is it because the sun is too strong?"

Yu Jin shook his head in confusion: "Probably I dreamed... I burned you to death."

Ding He's expression froze, and he comforted him quickly and easily: "It's just a dream, I'm fine now." Yu Jin said tiredly

: "It should be."

This dream, his spirit has not been very good. But fortunately, the car arrived at the station soon, and their attention turned to finding a homestay.

However, according to the map to find the house number, what appeared in front of them was an ordinary house.

Ding He had no choice but to call the folklore boss.

The boss seemed to have expected it for a long time, and told them a meeting place, ready to take them to the homestay after the meeting.

As soon as he saw the owner of the homestay, Yu Jin felt a strange sense of familiarity in his heart.

He always felt like he had seen this man.

The boss is a young man, tall and straight, with a mask on his face, but his smiling eyes are kind. Yu Jin noticed that there was a ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

He also saw doubts in Ding He's eyes.

The boss didn't say much, and led them in one direction. His voice came out through the mask, a little distorted, but his tone was still gentle and reassuring.

Yu Jin felt that the owner of the homestay seemed to take them to another time and space. Obviously just walked this road, but now everything around is unfamiliar.

The boss took them into the B&B, helped them check in at the front desk, and asked casually, "Big bed room or standard room?" "

Standard room."

The individual slept."

But accidents are prone to occur. Although they are lovers, he and Ding He are not close enough yet.

Yu Jin felt that the boss seemed to see through his relationship with Ding He.

Ding He looked as usual: "The standard room is fine."

Footsteps came from the stairs, a young man appeared at the entrance of the stairs, and walked down slowly with the handrail, looking a little sleepy.

He was also wearing a mask, revealing only a pair of beautifully curved eyes, with the ends of the eyes slightly raised, like hooks to hook people's hearts. Even just seeing these eyes is enough to convince people of his beauty.

He also has a ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

Yu Jin found that Ding He was staring at the new person with surprise and disbelief in his eyes.

The newly-appeared young man seemed to have noticed their gaze, glanced coldly, walked to the boss, and leaned halfway on him: "New occupant?" The

boss naturally wrapped his arms around his waist and put his face on him through the mask. He kissed his face: "I made an appointment a few days ago." The

young man nodded and said in a lazy voice, "Normally a lower voice."

Yu Jin just thought he was quiet, afraid of being disturbed, so he nodded and agreed to join Ding He together. Take the key card to the room.

He heard the boss and the young man from a distance emphasizing: "I'm not yet an adult."

He suddenly realized what the young man's "be quieter" just now meant, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Ding He.

Ding He has been looking at him, with more complicated emotions in his eyes.

The young man nodded indifferently: "It doesn't matter if it's earlier."

The boss's voice became even more helpless: "It's not good for your health."

"You always refused to touch me before, and I thought it was because you were not satisfied with me." The

boss carefully looked at the young man from head to toe: "I also endured it very much. Hard work." The

young man snorted lightly, and he took off his mask, took him completely into his arms, and kissed him softly.

Yu Jin and Ding He found their room, packed their luggage, and strolled around the neighborhood casually. They couldn't bear to fall asleep early.

But he was awakened by a burning sensation, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the entire homestay was in a sea of ​​fire.

Yu Jin's heart sank. It was the same scene in his dream.

He and Ding He were just about to escape, but suddenly a ceiling collapsed, separating the two of them at both ends of the sea of ​​​​fire.

Yu Jin's breath stagnated, and he almost threw himself into the flames.

But he was pulled by someone's arm.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine." The

owner of the homestay was standing in front of him, exuding a reassuring breath, even making the fire gentle.

There seems to be a safe area around him, and even the flames dare not approach.

"Listen to me, these flames won't hurt you, they will even make you stronger."

Yu Jin looked at him blankly.

"You will encounter some difficulties soon, but believe me, these difficulties can be solved. You must trust him and don't give up on him."

Yu Jin felt a little unable to control his tone: "You are deliberately bringing us here. Is it here?" The

boss smiled and stroked his hair.

The familiar feeling made Yu Jin's nose a little sour. He firmly grabbed the boss's hand to keep him from leaving, reaching for his ear with the other hand and tearing off his mask.

The boss didn't dodge, just stood there obediently, his face completely exposed in front of him.

Yu Jin gritted his teeth and said: "I knew it was you."

There was nostalgia in the eyes of the adult version of Ding He: "It's me."

He blinked and kissed Yu Jin's forehead: "You can recognize me, I am very happy. Happy."

This kiss has a kind of meaning that the elders are blessing the younger generation.

Yu Jin whispered: "If he doesn't show boredom, I won't leave him."

"Tell him these words directly, he wants to hear more than me." Ding He threatened him without any deterrent, "He doesn't I'll get tired of you. But if you don't tell him this all the time, he may torture himself crazy with suspicion."

Yu Jin looked at him thoughtfully.

"You can still walk together for a long time, or even go down together." Ding He lightly blindfolded him, "He often feels very uneasy. At this time, only you can save him."

***

Ding He saw the youth appear When he was in front of him, the original anxiety suddenly disappeared.

He even felt the flames beside him become friendly.

The young man looked at him coldly: "I have something to tell you."
