C2 Ten Years

It was the summer of 2007, he remembered. It was also the 21st of June, the day of the summer solstice, which was also Du Shisheng's birthday.

The day before, his parents had told him that they were going abroad to set up a company and take him abroad with their older brother.

Actually, Pei Junye didn't care. Since he was young, it was his elder brother who took care of him, and he was also very independent. Therefore, even if he was separated from his parents, living alone was not a problem.

However, he suddenly wanted to use this opportunity to confess to Du Shisheng. He confessed to that unexpectedly clumsy yet diligent, seemingly cold, but actually not good at interacting with others. At the same time, he confessed to that adorable fellow who was also very enthusiastic.

At that time, he had decided that if Du Shisheng agreed, then, no matter what, he would stay. If he doesn't agree, then he goes abroad with his parents.

He still remembered that afternoon, the sounds that he heard were very loud. The trees on the field were very green, the summer sky was very clear, and Du Shisheng was very clean.

She was as clean as an angel that had strayed into the mortal world. Her fair face had a hint of estrangement, and there was a hint of unintentional indifference in her eyes. However, when he smiled, it was surprisingly bright, like fireworks blossoming in the night sky.

That afternoon, under the shade of a tree on the side of the sports field, Pei Junye gave Du Shisheng his birthday present.

When Du Shisheng happily received the gift, Pei Junye grabbed his hand that was holding it. His eyes were clear and full of sincerity: "Du Shisheng, I think I like you. I hope you can get along with me."

Pei Junye looked at Du Shisheng expectantly, waiting for his answer.

However, Du Shisheng's smiling face froze on his face. After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses and his face suddenly turned pale. He turned around and ran away. He didn't even know that Pei Junye had dropped the gift on the ground.

Under the shade of the tree, the originally bright and beautiful atmosphere suddenly became cold. Pei Junye stood there alone.

After an unknown period of time, he finally regained his senses. Ye Zichen smiled wryly, then opened the present that Du Shisheng did not take away from him.

It was a sketch, set in a classroom with a bit of sunlight. The classroom was very empty. Du Shisheng was leaning against the desk lazily with his feet touching the ground. No one knew who he was talking to on the phone.

His face was no longer cold like before, but was instead filled with warmth and a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. That smile was like a ray of light that had cut through the darkness. It instantly struck Pei Junye's heart. It was sweet and sour.

At that moment, Pei Junye felt like he was bewitched. He did not enter the classroom and instead hid himself in a corner of the wall outside. He silently watched him and became infatuated. However, at that time, Pei Junye didn't know that it was the feeling of being in love.

Afterwards, Pei Junye took the initiative to talk to Du Shisheng. Slowly, they became friends. Surprisingly, Du Shisheng was a very warm and gentle person. However, he didn't know how to express himself.

Moreover, sometimes, they would even inadvertently blush, but even so, it made Pei Junye even more unable to control himself.

Thinking about it, if he hadn't seen that smile by chance, he would have been electrocuted in an instant. Perhaps, their two lives would never intersect.

Ever since that day, Du Shisheng had been avoiding him. He couldn't even tell Pei Junye the news that he was about to leave the country.

After that, Pei Junye did not force him. The two of them leaned against each other like that until the day before Pei Junye was going to leave.

He quietly put the gift that he prepared for Du Shisheng into his desk. As a parting gift.

Ever since he left the country, Pei Junye thought that perhaps he would slowly forget about Du Shisheng. After all, in the long river of time, there was nothing that could not be erased.

However, Pei Junye discovered that his yearning for Du Shisheng was just like the wine that became more fragrant with each passing year. It was exuding a strong fragrance with each passing year.

Du Shisheng's words became clearer and clearer in his mind. His smile, his cold, soft eyes, seemed to be frightened, hiding the shy red tips of his ears in his hair...

Little by little, it filled his heart. So full that no matter who it was, it couldn't enter his eyes, nor his heart.

He was filled to the brim with emotions. He was the only one who could do so.

It wasn't that Pei Junye hadn't struggled before. He thought, since Du Shisheng doesn't like him, then why should he think about it himself?

Therefore, he wanted to have a girlfriend, but he didn't feel anything. No matter how beautiful and sexy a girl was, she would only be a blank slate in front of him.

Then, he realized that maybe girls could not, but boys could. Thus, he set his sights on the boy. However, in the end, it was all in vain.

And because of that, that amorous elder brother of his always ridiculed him, saying that he was living a life similar to a monk's life, and suggested that he should just directly leave home.

So Pei Junye struggled for ten years. In the end, he gave up. Since he had not forgotten Du Shisheng for the past ten years.

Then, he could only turn him into his own.

Thus, he chose to return home. At the same time, the domestic family business also needed someone to take care of it.

Moreover, he had deliberately chosen to meet him again on the day of his confession ten years ago. It was as if ten years had passed, and he had become the same person from ten years ago, continuing the days when they had met.

However, he unfortunately received Du Shisheng's engagement invitation.

An engagement invitation …

Du Shisheng, I've been in love with you for ten years. All you received was an invitation to get engaged to someone else?

Why do you care? How could you be so cruel as to send it to me?

Was this sarcasm or an answer?

It's a pity, do you really think I will do as you say? Now that I have the will, you will be mine. Then, no matter who that woman is, I won't let you belong to her, and she can't belong to you either.

Because you can only belong to me! It can only belong to me, Pei Junye!

Just you wait, I'm going home. I'm really looking forward to what expression you will have when you see me.

Was he happy? Was it surprise? Disgusting? Or something else?

However, all of this was nothing to worry about! Because I will let us start over, even if you rejected me ten years ago, but this time, no matter what means, I will get you, make you fall in love with me, just like I love you.

Du Shisheng, are you ready?

The corner of Pei Junye's mouth curled up into a smile. He sat up straight on the sofa and held the big red wedding invitation. With an elegant action, he tore it into pieces bit by bit.

Seven days later, the plane to China took off on time.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the capital city, the ST construction company, was in an uproar. They had heard rumors that a general manager had arrived from the headquarters this time.

It was said that although he was young, he was very capable and handsome. He treated people with courtesy and had a very strong background.

On the same morning, Du Shisheng received a message from his superior saying that the other party wanted him to pick up the plane. Thus, Pei Junye's strategy officially began …
