Shen Moyu couldn't distinguish his own feelings; he only knew that he had forgotten how to breathe.
That feeling was my eyes once again captivated by him, my heart pounding wildly. It was the unconscious bewilderment amidst tears, the urge to embrace him again, and a thousand words condensed into a single, sincere gaze…
It is the bittersweet feeling of reunion.
Su Jinning took two steps forward, hot tears streaming down her smiling lips. The strength she had maintained for so long crumbled the moment she saw his face.
He pointed to himself, then to Shen Moyu, and finally to the intersection with his thumb.
I'll take you away.
The scene that Shen Moyu had dreamed of a thousand times was playing out tonight. He was unprepared, not even in the mood for an elopement.
Is it him? He asked himself.
He had waited too long, and the dream had lasted too long, and he was starting to have second thoughts.
Shen Moyu stretched out her trembling hands, pointed at him in disbelief, then at herself, and then at the star-studded intersection.
Are you going to take me away?
Their eyes met. Su Jinning was still under the influence of alcohol, and the excitement lingered in his heart, slowly tightening. He didn't answer, but simply opened his arms to him, waiting quietly for his embrace.
This is more resolute than any other answer.
Shen Moyu burst into tears.
Zhou Xingqi locked the door and reached out to touch Shen Moyu's shoulder: "Brother, climb down the water pipe to the first floor and jump down. He will catch you."
Shen Moyu turned to look at him, pondering his last words.
"Be careful." Zhou Xingqi helped him put on his coat.
He did not hesitate; as Zhou Xingqi said, he would catch himself.
The two collided head-on. Su Jinning grabbed his waist, lost her balance, and fell heavily onto the rocks behind her.
"hiss!"
Shen Moyu didn't have time to linger in his embrace. She hurriedly got up to check on him, but Su Jinning grabbed her and pulled her firmly into his arms.
Su Jinning's muffled sobs echoed in his shoulder. He reached out and held Shen Moyu's head, his own tears finally falling uncontrollably.
"I miss you so much……"
Shen Moyu was trembling all over. He looked down at the person so close to him, and his heart was suddenly filled with a sour feeling.
"Idiot, why are you so late?"
He had waited so long that when the man appeared, he was momentarily unsure whether to feel offended or overjoyed.
All he could do was hold this person tightly, and this time he would never let him let go.
The boy's unspoken bitterness and love were enveloped by the night wind, blowing throughout the night city.
Suddenly, the two were blinded by a beam of extremely bright light, and the tears of joy they were about to shed instantly welled up in their eyes and they held them back.
They looked up and saw a dilapidated van parked in front of them. The window was rolled down, and Chen Hang's face suddenly appeared, revealing a heavenly smile. "Hi! Good evening, my baby."
"You idiot, don't fucking turn on your headlights!" Su Jinning glanced guiltily at the living room, where Shen Donghai, attracted by the car lights, strolled over.
"Holy crap!" Without saying a word, Su Jinning picked up Shen Moyu and put him in the back seat of the car.
"Su Jinning, you bastard!" Shen Donghai shouted. He was frantic and opened the bedroom door with his key. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhou Xingqi peering out the window, staring at him innocently with his eyes wide open.
"Zhou Xingqi!!"
Zhou Xingqi chuckled twice, then lowered his head and jumped down.
"You little brat!"
"Why the hell did you have to get down here? If I hadn't caught you, would you have broken an arm like your brother? Now look what happened, you've sprained your ankle." Jiehe complained as he carried Zhou Xingqi, who was groaning in pain.
"If I don't run away, can I get through tonight in peace? That old man will skin me alive!"
"Even if you run away, I'll skin you alive!"
Shen Donghai was furious. He took a few steps to the window and looked down. He saw that one of his sons had been kidnapped by Su Jinning, while the other was clinging to Jiehe's back, waving at him and calling out, "Good night, Daddy."
"Jehovah!! If you dare take him away, I'll beat you up too!"
"Sorry! I was coerced too, Uncle!" Jerhe carried his brother, who had sprained his ankle, and disappeared down the street.
Shen Donghai suddenly felt like he was going to die, and sat down on the floor by the window.
He dominated the business world for many years, but lost to four young upstarts.

"Where did this car come from?" Su Jinning turned her head to look at the dilapidated car and Chen Hang's lousy driving skills.
"My nanny runs this grocery store," Chen Hang chuckled.
Shen Moyu pinched his nose: "No wonder it smells like chives."
Su Jinning, who hated being taken advantage of the most, was practically at her wit's end. "Next time, can't you at least be a little more reliable?"
"I'm already lucky I even made it! I should be grateful!" Chen Hang scoffed, then made a sharp turn, causing Shen Moyu's forehead to collide directly with Su Jinning's shoulder.
"How is it? Does it hurt?" Su Jinning reached out and gently rubbed it, then looked up and her expression immediately changed: "Are you in such a hurry to turn around and reincarnate? Can't you slow down a bit?"
Chen Hang wanted to vent his anger, but seeing the two of them snuggling together, perhaps out of a desire not to disturb them, or perhaps because he found it too rare, he laughed in exasperation: "Fine, fine, I won't hold it against you two today, tch."
Shen Moyu nestled against Su Jinning's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and suddenly felt a little sleepy. This was the first time in a long time that he felt so at ease.
"Where are we going?" he asked sullenly.
Su Jinning remained silent for a long time before replying, "I don't know." He paused, then touched his hair. "Go to school."
