Chapter 380 Are you awake?
At the gentle moment of dawn, a ray of golden sunlight penetrated the gap in the gauze curtains like a thread and slipped silently into this masculine bedroom.
This light is not as warm as the afternoon, nor as lazy as the evening. It carries a new hope and expectation, gently brushing every corner of the room, and finally, gently falling on two large beds placed side by side, slowly awakening the two sleeping owners.
On the first bed, Li Mingxuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he felt the caress of the light, and his consciousness gradually emerged from the abyss of the dream.
Following a low and slightly hoarse moan, he slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of confusion from just waking up flashed in his deep eyes.
The sunlight outlined soft contours on his handsome face, adding a touch of unknown gentleness to him.
He raised his hand slightly, trying to block the glaring light, but unexpectedly this action inadvertently exposed the tiny and ambiguous red marks on his arm.
Those traces, like the marks of last night's passion, silently tell an unknown secret.
At the same time, on another bed, Gu Chenyi was awakened by the morning light almost at the same moment.
He opened his eyes, and his deep blue eyes flashed with wisdom and calmness, which was in sharp contrast to Li Mingxuan's confusion.
Gu Chenyi sat up, his gaze naturally falling on the familiar, slightly tired face beside him, and an indescribable warmth welled up in his heart. He remembered that last night's stormy weather had also witnessed the unprecedented tacit understanding and deep affection between the two of them.
He gently lifted the quilt, revealing his chest which was also covered with red marks, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It was a recollection of the past and an expectation for the future.
The two spoke almost at the same time, their voices raspy and shy from just waking up:
"you're awake?"
This sentence was like a tacit understanding between them that did not require any words, and also like the most gentle opening remarks of a new day.
Li Mingxuan stood up first, walked to the window, and gently opened the curtains to let more sunlight into the room.
He turned around and looked at Gu Chenyi, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination: "Chenyi, I think we should talk."
When Gu Chenyi heard this, his eyes moved slightly. He sat up straight and looked at Li Mingxuan seriously, waiting for his next words.
Li Mingxuan took a deep breath, walked to the bed and sat down. The two of them were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
"Everything that happened last night made me realize that we are more than just friends. We are indispensable to each other's lives. I think we should give this relationship a clear definition, whether as partners or..."
Gu Chenyi interrupted Li Mingxuan. He reached out and gently covered Li Mingxuan's hand. His eyes, which were always calm, were now filled with tenderness and understanding.
"Xuan, I've actually thought about this too. The relationship between us has long surpassed the scope of friendship. I'm willing to face everything in the future with you, rain or shine."
The two smiled at each other, and all words seemed redundant at this moment.
They held each other's hands tightly, as if to connect their souls tightly together in this way. The sunlight shone through the window and shone on them, giving this warm and firm scene a golden glow.
In the following days, Li Mingxuan and Gu Chenyi began a new journey.
They no longer hide their feelings for each other, but instead appear hand in hand in front of their friends and family, proving their love with actions.
Although there were doubts and misunderstandings during the process, they always supported each other and faced them together.
In spring, they strolled in the park where cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the petals danced in the wind, just like the pure and passionate love in their hearts; in summer, they played together on the beach, and the waves beat against the shore, as if crowning their love; in autumn, they walked side by side on the path covered with fallen leaves, and every step was the echo of the years, feeling the flow of time and the precipitation of love; in winter, they snuggled in their warm home, with snowflakes flying outside the window, but spring was in the air inside the house, and the two hearts were closely dependent on each other, resisting the cold together.
As time went by, the love between them grew deeper.
They learned how to provide the strongest support when the other party needs it, how to discover the beauty of life in ordinary days, and how to cherish each other's existence more after quarreling.
Their love is like the ray of sunlight that penetrates the window. Although it is small, it can illuminate each other's world and warm each other's hearts.
Finally one day, when the sunset dyed the sky red again, Li Mingxuan and Gu Chenyi stood in front of the cottage they built together, looking at the sky dyed red by the sunset, their hearts filled with unprecedented satisfaction and happiness.
Li Mingxuan took out an exquisite ring from his pocket, slowly knelt on one knee, and looked at Gu Chenyi affectionately:
"Chen Yi, are you willing to let me be your partner, to spend the rest of our lives together, in good times and bad, in health and in sickness?"
Gu Chenyi's eyes were slightly moist. He stretched out his hand and took the ring tremblingly, his voice choking with sobs:
"I am willing to use all of me to love you and protect you until the end of the world."
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two figures hugged each other tightly, as if the whole world was crowning their love.
At this moment, all the waiting and hard work have turned into the sweetest fruit. They know that the road ahead is still long, but as long as they accompany each other, it will be the best journey.
And it all started on that warm morning, when the sunlight shone through the window, illuminating their world and each other's hearts.
