54. Back In Time

Gradually, that gleam of light began to deepen, resembling a Milky Way stretching across the sky, with green and purple interweaving, surging across the vast snowy world. Under the cover of the aurora, this vast ice and snow world seemed unusually small.

Witnessing the aurora, Xu Yuanzhe felt that it was like him and Yu Yue.

They thought they had reached a dead-end, would never be together again, and would never wait for this aurora again. But suddenly, there was a turn of events, and the aurora rushed into their world.

Xu Yuanzhe lowered his eyes and softly awakened Yu Yue.

Yu Yue woke up from his dreams, still a bit drowsy. However, the moment he saw the aurora in the sky, his eyes widened.

After a moment, he stood up.

Yu Yue took a few steps forward, looking up at the aurora pouring down from the sky. He blinked, his eyes slightly red, shimmering with tears.

But soon, Yu Yue turned around, ran back, and threw himself into Xu Yuanzhe’s arms.

He tightly hugged Xu Yuanzhe’s neck, his eyes curved, saying to Xu Yuanzhe, “I’ve decided. Every year at this time, we must come here to see the aurora.”

Xu Yuanzhe responded with a low “Mm,” and added, “Let’s go to Rome every winter.”

Yu Yue thought for a moment and nodded.

Making a wish to return to Rome, hoping to fulfill it every year.

Holding Yu Yue, Xu Yuanzhe rarely spun a few rounds in the snowy field.

Yu Yue didn’t expect Xu Yuanzhe to do this and quickly hugged Xu Yuanzhe’s neck.

The two seemed to have returned to their university days, the time of passionate love, filled with youth and laughter. The aurora in the sky appeared as if someone had sprinkled silver-colored pigments, covering the sky.

After returning to China, Xu Yuanzhe did not immediately dive into work.

He took Yu Yue to that house in City B.

After so many years, Xu Yuanzhe had bought the small home they used to live in, the forty-square-meter one. Nothing about the decoration had changed, just new curtains, but it was still the same as before.

The moment Yu Yue stepped into the house, it felt like stepping into the past five years. All the memories rushed back in an instant.

He stood firmly at the entrance, gazing at the brilliant sunlight streaming in through the French windows. It not only illuminated this small home but also countless memories he held.

Yu Yue turned around and glanced back.

Xu Yuanzhe stood by the door, wearing a deep blue shirt with rolled-up sleeves, a black watch on his wrist, and a sparkling ring visible on his finger.

To say that he was exactly the same as five years ago was impossible. Five years ago, Xu Yuanzhe was still a poor guy, a teenager extremely lacking in self-confidence. The temperament and increasingly taciturn personality that had settled over the years were different from back then.

Of course, Yu Yue knew he had changed too.

But this home had not.

It meant that, no matter how they changed, their love remained unchanged.

Yu Yue walked into the house and saw their room with old photos still displayed. The photo frames were spotless, obviously regularly wiped clean.

Approaching the bathroom door, Yu Yue couldn’t help but press the button.

“It’s fixed,” Xu Yuanzhe said behind him. “It won’t go out halfway through washing anymore.”

Yu Yue commented, “Actually, it was kind of nice when it was constantly breaking.”

Pausing for a moment, he turned around. “That way, I have the chance to act spoiled and throw a tantrum with you.”
