On the night of December 31, Chinese New Year's Eve, New York was full of bright lights, and the lights on the top of the Empire State Building were even turned into a real-time changing state, colorfully highlighting the difference of the day.

After Yu Gui and Yan Shu had dinner together, the two went to Broadway to listen to the musical "The Phantom of the Opera", the ticket was bought by Yan Shu in advance, and the location of the box on the second floor was very clear to see the stage.

Yu Gui didn't have to insist on giving him the money to buy tickets this time, in fact, since the two became lovers, he was no longer as obsessed with economic distinctions as before.

The reason why he has this change is not because his principles have changed, but because Yu Gui is very clear that with the gap between the conditions between him and Yan Shu, if he still divides the question of who spends more money and who spends less money too clearly after being together, the two of them will inevitably have conflicts.

So in this case, it may be more correct to open your heart.

Yu Gui still doesn't like to take advantage of others, but he doesn't want to argue with Yan Shu about money all day long. If it were something else, it would be fine, but in this regard, the differences in expenses caused by the economic situation of the two people are inevitable, so the argument that arises for this is meaningless.

To be well together, both of them have to make concessions. And in the concession, Yu Gui knew that he should be the one with the greater weight.

Yu Gui rarely compromised with others in the past, but now he felt that he had spent all the compromise shares he had saved for twenty years on Yan Shu.

There's nothing wrong with that, he's willing to do it anyway.

As for the financial deficit caused by the compromise, he will try to compensate him in other ways, and in the end, he still has to make himself live with his conscience.

"Yu Gui, this is for you!" Yan Shu had just returned from buying a drink at this time, handed him a commemorative cup with the "Phantom of the Opera" pattern printed on it in his hand, and sat down.

Yu Gui took it and unscrewed the lid, but before he could get closer, he smelled a rushing smell of wine, and couldn't help frowning and turning his head to ask Yan Shu: "Why did you buy wine?" ”

"I want this cup, but all he has in this cup is wine...... Yan Shu scratched the root of his ear, and said with a low smile to Gui: "Yu Gui, do you like this cup?" I think it's pretty good. ”

"What are you talking about," Yu Gui looked at him and smiled helplessly, seeing that Yan Shu seemed a little embarrassed, he picked up the cup again and looked at it carefully for a while and said, "It's just very good-looking, and I'll buy this if I go." ”

"Really?!" Yan Shu suddenly became happy again, and said happily: "I knew you would like it!" ”

Yu Gui smiled and didn't speak again, feeling that it was really a very easy thing to coax Yan Shu to be happy.

However, Yan Shu was in a very good mood today, because under his "repeated" begging, Yu Gui finally agreed to go to his house tonight, and he was so excited about this that he didn't even listen to the musical.

It's easy to wait until it's over, Yan Shu stood up almost as soon as the curtain call was over, and then he pulled Yu Gui up, and said in a very dynamic voice: "Let's go quickly!" Let's go! If you get ahead of others, you won't be blocked! ”

Yu Gui obediently followed behind him and couldn't help but want to laugh: "It's okay to be ten minutes late, are you so in such a hurry." ”

"There's a difference! Of course there is a difference! Yan Shu couldn't even bother to stand still, and said to Gui in a very serious tone while walking briskly: "The time in a person's life is very limited, and we can't waste it!" ”

"You have a point." Yu Gui replied amusedly.

The two of them came out of the theater and walked in the direction of Times Square for a while, and finally stopped a taxi, and they got on it and went straight to where Yan Shu lived.

Yu Gui had actually made mental preparations in advance, and the place where he wanted to live as Yan Shu was definitely not cheap, but Rao was still shocked when he entered this penthouse on Fifth Avenue.

The two-story structure, each at least 300 square meters in size, plus an attic and a semi-open-air rooftop balcony with a view of the skyscrapers of Midtown Manhattan and Central Park, is too good to describe in words.

"You live here." After the shock in Yu Gui's heart slowly subsided, he looked at someone standing beside him who was leaning on the balcony railing to enjoy the night view.

He used a declarative sentence, but Yan Shu felt inexplicably empty after listening to it.

"Hmm...... Do you like it? Yan Shu stared at Yu Gui cautiously.

"I like it." Yu Gui turned his body around, faced the outside of the balcony, took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "You told me, are you afraid of heights?" ”

“…… Ah......h

Yan Shu was stunned.

Yu Gui glanced back at him, bit his lower lip, looked at Yan Shu with a smile for a while, and then said, "Afraid of heights, right?" ”

"Return...... I was wrong......"

"Professor Yan said with a smile, where are you wrong?" Yu Gui said with a slight smile.

"Yu Gui, I was really wrong...... Yan Shu can be regarded as a retrospective now, stepped forward and hugged Yu Gui and said very sincerely: "I didn't mean to lie to you when I took the roller coaster that time...... But, but I'm afraid that if I don't say that, you won't let me hold your hand......"

"That's right." Yu Gui raised his eyebrows: "If you weren't afraid of heights, I would never let you pull at that time." ”

"Yu Gui......" Yan Shu's expression was extremely aggrieved now, and he puffed out his mouth before he said again: "Don't be angry...... I knew it was wrong, but I really couldn't do anything else...... I don't know how to get close to you, I don't know how to make you accept me, I tried everything I could think of, I'm afraid that I will waste an opportunity that I have so easily...... Can you forgive me for something wrong......"

"You......"

Yu Gui finally sighed softly, raised his arm and took the initiative to hug Yan Shu.

"I'm sorry."

His voice was very low, but it was extremely clear when it fell in Yan Shu's ears.

"Return...... Why are you apologizing to me? It's obvious that I did something wrong......" Yan Shu tried to make Yu Gui raise his head, but Yu Gui now hugged him very tightly, his ten fingers were firmly clasped on his shoulders from behind, and his head was buried deep in the depression on the side of his neck.

"I'm sorry." Yu Gui said it again, this time his voice was slightly louder, and he was followed by a sentence: "I'm embarrassing you." ”

"Don't say that......"

Yan Shu didn't know why, hearing Yu Gui apologize to him so seriously as now, his heart was even more uncomfortable than when he was rejected before.

Probably because he cared too much, he couldn't see him being wronged in the slightest.

Even if he was a little sad, it didn't matter, but he didn't want to see a little sadness on his face.

"Yugui, you don't have to say sorry to me."

Yan Shu hugged the person in his arms even harder, so tight that they could both feel the powerful beating of the heart in each other's chest.

One moment, one moment, like the drumbeat of the march of the army, as if urging something.

With the lights of Manhattan at its most splendid and gorgeous, there is probably no better time to confess your heart than now.

"Yugui, I love you."

Yan Shu's right hand covered the back of Yu Gui's neck, lowered his head and dropped an extremely gentle and lingering kiss between his hair, and whispered: "Because I love you, don't tell me I'm sorry." ”

"Yan Shu ......"

Yu Gui's arms tensed behind Yan Shu's back, then relaxed again and slowly hung to his side.

The heart is like being placed in half-boiled warm water.

It's not hot, but it spreads to the internal organs without omission, and it's so warm that people want to shed tears.

"Yu Gui, you touch here."

At this time, Yan Shu suddenly grabbed Guigui's hand and pressed it on his left chest, stared at him with a smile and said, "Whether you can believe my words or not, I want to say my true thoughts now." Return, I can't pretend to be anyone else here since the first time I saw you, and I assure you that you are the only one here, both before and in the future. Even if one day you don't want it, that fact won't change. ”

From now on, from beginning to end.

Yan Shu's words made Yu Gui's whole body burn when he heard it.

The temperature of his cheeks was the highest, because Yan Shu's burning gaze was firmly locked there, and Yu Gui couldn't take his eyes off even if he had the intention to dodge.

What's more, he didn't have the will to dodge.

"Do you mean to put me accountable to the end?" Yu Gui lowered his eyes slightly, still staring directly at Yan Shu, but partially masking the hot temperature in his eyes.

Yan Shu pursed his lips and stared at him fixedly, suddenly clenched his hands and said seriously: "Yu Gui, although I know that I should deny it at this time, I should say the answer you want to hear, and say that I will not force you and respect any of your decisions, but I don't think so...... I want you to be responsible to the end, I want you to be with me all the time! ”

After Yan Shu finished speaking, he tensed up and stood straight, his teeth clenched, and the expression on his face was extremely solemn.

However, Yu Gui laughed.

The curvature of the corners of his lips is particularly delicate, as if carved by a craftsman.

"That's the answer I want to hear." Yu Gui's eyes were smudged by night and light at the same time, showing a colorful and deep color.

He looked at Yan Shu quietly, and when he spoke, even his voice seemed to be clean and cold, but when it penetrated into his ears, there was an inexplicable trace of fireworks, which was particularly heartfelt.

"Yan Shu, what you said is what I want to hear. I believe everything you say, and I want to be with you forever. As long as you persevere, I won't give up. Yu Gui said slowly and solemnly.

"Yu Gui......" Yan Shu closed his eyes, leaned over and pressed his soft lips, and whispered softly: "I will persevere to the end." ”

……

"I love you too."
