Chapter 471: Eyes on Each Other
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Look here, please!”
The photographer took the cara and started to get in a comfortable position to take their picture.
“Please move towards the center a little!
“Yes! Your heads can be closer to each other...
“Okay! Now get ready, don’t move!”
Both of them huddled together at the shoulders and placed their heads near each other.
Click!
Their marriage photograph was done.
When the photographer looked at the picture from his cara, he felt delighted and pleased.
“It’s a very nice shot. We don’t have to take another one.”
They printed the picture out then both Huang He and Fang Yuanyuan started to fill in the application forms, respectively. The registrars had brought all relevant items with them. After pasting the photos, they stamped the docunt, and completed all the legal processes needed.
“Congratulations!”
“Congratulations to both of you! May your marriage be filled with wonderfully happy tis!”
Everyone was clapping their hands, wishing them a happy marriage.
Fang Yuanyuan’s face went red, and her emotions were overflowing.
She was excited but uneasy; there was also a slight feeling that maybe the process was not over yet.
She held the red booklet which they had just given to her. “So are we legally married now?”
The registrar smiled. “We have entered it in the marriage registration system and stamped on the certificate. This ans your marriage is legally recognized.”
“Orh.” Fang Yuanyuan pursed her lips slightly. After giving their wishes to the newlyweds, the two female registrars started packing up to leave the place. “Sisters, when we hold our wedding ceremony, I’ll invite you both to present the certificate to us once more. Would that be okay?”
Both registrars looked slightly surprised for a mont.
They turned back and couldn’t help showing a smile.
“Sure, no problem.”
All of them had left. Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan looked at each other before looking at Fang Yuanyuan.
“You two can have so ti alone. We’ll wait for you outside—”
...
The place was not big. It had a living room and a storeroom.
Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan went downstairs to give both of them ti for themselves.
There was no one else in the second floor now. It was so quiet that there wasn’t any sound.
Earlier on, Fang Yuanyuan was so excited and had so much to say.
However, the mont all of them left and closed the door, she realized that she was alone with Huang He. She was so flustered that she didn’t know what to say.
She was not afraid of hanging out with him.
She was afraid of separating from him.
After their brief ti together, there would be a long period of separation.
The grief of separation had lingered between the two of them the mont they t. At this ti, the feeling had reached a limit.
Fang Yuanyuan looked at Huang He’s thin face.
After having his hair cut, he seed thinner than when he was in Xi City.
“If you get any thinner, you’ll beco a skeleton.”
She sniffled and wanted to turn away since she couldn’t bear to see how thin he was. However, before she could do so, Huang He grabbed her wrist.
“Yuanyuan...”
His tone was low and deep, seemingly after squeezing those words out of his throat.
It sounded casual... yet it sounded like it had a lingering charm to it.
Fang Yuanyuan pouted at him innocently... She had so much to say such as her complaints or her reminders she wanted to tell him again. However, before she could do so, he pulled her to him suddenly with his lips against her mouth so firmly that she couldn’t say a word at all.
A familiar hug.
A familiar kiss.
At this mont, there actually weren’t many amorous feelings between them.
It was the grief of an impending separation that dominated the atmosphere...
Fang Yuanyuan sniffled, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him back with greater strength.
She was like a crazy girl. Her aggressive and fervent kisses left Huang He panting as he took her waist and pressed onto her which made them knocked onto the only wooden sofa there.
Since the impact was a little strong, Fang Yuanyuan felt a slight pain in her back. She took two steps backward with her back against the wall.
“Tsk, Huang He...”
“Don’t talk!” He put a finger on her lips. “I want to kiss you.”
“...”
Fang Yuanyuan looked at him with her big round eyes.
Huang He’s gaze was filled with warmth and heartache for her.
He did not say a word.
Fang Yuanyuan closed her eyes obediently, but after waiting for a while, she didn’t feel his kiss.
“What’s up?” she asked.
Her cheeks looked suffused with a beautiful red hue that extended to her ears.
“Yuanyuan...”
“Mm.”
“Why didn’t you ask ?”
“Ask what?”
“When am I coming back?”
“I’ll wait for you.” Fang Yuanyuan felt a ticklish sensation in her throat. “No matter how long it takes for you to return, I’ll wait...”
She did not want to open her eyes now.
This was because she was afraid that the mont she opened her eyes, she wouldn’t be able to stop her tears from flowing.
Huang He stared at her eyelashes for a long ti.
He didn’t move nor did he say another word.
Both of them stayed in their spot as though a century had passed.
Finally, Fang Yuanyuan couldn’t stand the silence anymore and opened her eyes. She felt a tug at her heart while looking at his eyes where she could see her reflection. She felt distressed again but let out a laugh instead.
“It feels kinda scary when you look at like this...”
As she spoke in a soft tone, she started squeezing or pinching her fingers at Huang He’s waist lightly. “Don’t you have anything else to tell ?”
“Of course I do.” Huang He’s eyes dimd a little. “Too many things to say.”
When there were too many things to say, one might find it difficult to say them.
It was the sa for Fang Yuanyuan. After a short pause, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.
“So what should we do? Are we going to keep looking at each other in silence like this?”
“...”
“Should we just say sothing? You first!”
Huang He was a little slow. “I wanted to say, I will... keep thinking of you.”
This surprised Fang Yuanyuan, and hearing that made her grin from ear to ear. “Why are you suddenly so mushy...”
Huang He replied, “Yuanyuan, I’m afraid that I might not be able to co back.”
Fang Yuanyuan responded with a shocked look on her face. “You...”
Huang He replied, “I’m worried that I might die in...”
Fang Yuanyuan interrupted him, “You’re not allowed to talk such nonsense!”
Before he could finish what he wanted to say, Fang Yuanyuan suddenly pulled him down to her anxiously. She saw his stupefied expression while she pressed her lips against his, not allowing him to finish his sentence, which was exactly what he had done to her earlier.
All these words were not what she wanted to hear.
Those words would never co into fruition.
When Fang Yuanyuan thought about that, her anxious kisses started to turn gentler.
“... Huanghuang.”
“Hmm...”
This nickna sounds like a pet’s na.
In the past, Huang He had protested to her about this. Even though he had heard that many tis, he still felt awkward hearing it. He even insisted that she could only call him that in private so no one else knew about this nickna. However, when he heard this nickna “Huanghuang” at this mont, he actually felt especially close and affectionate about it.
Nobody had ever called him that.
Only Fang Yuanyuan.
The one and only Fang Yuanyuan.
“There’s a secret,” said Fang Yuanyuan, “that I have not told you before...”
Huang He held the back of her head while his breath fell between her eyebrows.
When he heard that, his grip tightened. “What is it?”
Fang Yuanyuan lowered her head to avoid looking at him. “I used to own a dog called Huanghuang. I like that dog very much, but later on...”
It died.
She regretted having played that prank and gave him that nickna...
“Don’t say it!” Huang He cupped her face and kissed her.
Fang Yuanyuan quickly lted in his passionate kiss, inside this cold space they were both in...
“There are 10 more days to Lunar New Year.”
“... Yeah!”
“Can I visit you during Lunar New Year?”
“I’m afraid... it’s not possible.”
“Why?”
“Yuanyuan...”
“Will you... be spending Lunar New Year with Tian Danyue?”
“...”
“She loves you, right?”
“...”
“Have you two ever had a relationship... Like the way we both have right now?”
“Nope,” answered Huang He firmly as he broke the silence. “I didn’t cross the line with her.”
“Oh, so the few questions that you haven’t answered earlier are all true.”
“...” n sotis couldn’t keep up with won’s logical thinking.
“I don’t quite understand. If you don’t have a relationship with her... Why does she trust you so much, and why should she help you?”
“...”
Huang He was silent again.
In fact, Fang Yuanyuan had tried to find out more when they were together in Xi City several tis.
However, this ti, she was very firm about it.
Now that she had a marriage certificate, she wanted to clear things up with him. Huang He also felt the sa... he had to remove any misunderstanding that might occur.
“I’ve saved her life before! As well as her daughter’s life!”
Fang Yuanyuan was dumbstruck.
“She has a daughter?”
“...” Huang He puffed a sigh while he looked at her without another word.
“I know, I won’t ask anymore.”
Fang Yuanyuan was not an entirely ignorant young woman.
Although she had the right to ask about him and Tian Danyue, the mont she raised a more in-depth question, it wouldn’t benefit her and Huang He to know more.
Seeing that Huang He had remained silent, she gave a satisfied smile while she leaned on him, with a hand playing with his collar.
“Do you feel that, it’s getting a little... hot here?”
Hot?
The winter breeze looked unbelievably cold outside.
It was piercing cold.
The place they were at was rather desolate and there was no heater inside.
In fact, it was a cold environnt.
“... You don’t think so?”
Fang Yuanyuan’s hand, which was playing with his collar, slowly moved to touch his Adam’s apple and collarbone, as if to show how unhappy she was with the kiss they had earlier. She seed to yearn for a more intense and deeper embrace... to comfort her empty heart.
“Yuanyuan...”
Huang He’s voice sounded a little hoarse.
“Mm...” She leaned herself on him and looked around the room.
It was not a big place. It was a little dim, a little cold, and a little dilapidated...
“What a pity...” Fang Yuanyuan let out a gasp.
Huang He asked, “Pity?”
“It’s a pity... today is such a good day.” Fang Yuanyuan sounded disappointed. “But both of us... cannot do anything.”
Huang He suddenly held her head and kissed her lips fervently.
He kissed her, for he could only kiss her.
He wished he could kiss her for eternity.
He embraced Fang Yuanyuan tightly. His breath felt hot like fire, and her ears felt like it was boiling; she seed to have forgotten where she was.
When her hand arrived at a certain spot, Huang He twitched and stopped her in a fluster.
“... Don’t! Stop...”
“Stop or don’t stop?”
“...”
Fang Yuanyuan nibbled his neck lightly.
“There’s no surveillance cara here.”
“...”
“No one will co.”
“...” He was speechless for a mont.
“They will know... they will know...” He gasped.
Every ti Fang Yuanyuan spoke, Huang He’s breathing would get heavier.
Both of them had been apart for so long. Moreover, he had been hurt all this while. His needs in that aspect was greater than Fang Yuanyuan.
His heart almost flew out of his throat!
“Hurry!” Fang Yuanyuan said while gasping for breath. “We can’t waste anymore ti...”
“Yuanyuan...” Huang He was at a loss as he called her na.
His head wanted to stop her, but his body was being too honest.
Besides, Fang Yuanyuan was a rather headstrong girl. Huang He couldn’t make her change her mind at all. Although he had more strength, he could not free his hand from her when she pulled him. Although he could stop her, his throat was as if stuffed by a ball of fire with smoke and heat. Other than gasping for air, he couldn’t do anything at all... Even though he had a strong body, his resistance was too weak against her. He wanted to control himself, but when he looked at Fang Yuanyuan’s eyes, the past images of intimacy with her seed to have cast a spell on his brain... and took root.
“Yuanyuan...”
He couldn’t help quivering!
“Don’t endure it... We don’t have to endure it at all...”
Just this once.
Just this once.
There was actually a sorrowful feeling lingering around them, which almost drove Fang Yuanyuan crazy.
She was desperate. She unbuttoned his collar and bit him a little on the neck.
“I want you...”
Huang He’s throat felt slightly stuck.
He took a breath, then another deep breath.
Fang Yuanyuan repeated, “I want you.”
Her voice, her actions, and her thoughts—everything was so forthright.
Ultimately, at her command, Huang He finally closed his eyes and allowed her to undress him...
They could lock the room from within.
Nobody could enter.
Nobody would bother them at this mont too.
...
They covered the sofa with a piece of new and clean red cloth which was used as the backdrop for their earlier photoshoot. Huang He examined it, then covered it with his coat.
The room was too cold. It worried him that Fang Yuanyuan might feel cold and uncomfortable—he didn’t want her to have a bad experience.
Thus, after adjusting here and there for a few tis, he placed his arm on the sofa again.
“Are you cold?”
“Not cold.”
“Is it uncomfortable?”
“...”
Why is he talking so much?!
Fang Yuanyuan criticized him inside her head, and she didn’t feel like answering him. She gave him a gentle then tight squeeze which made him tread on the edge of pain and happiness. It almost made him lose control.
“Yuanyuan...” he gasped.
Fang Yuanyuan gritted her teeth. “You want to do it by myself?”
“... Let !”
It had been a long ti.
His hands were quivering and so was his body.
His gaze felt dreamy.
He looked at her, and she returned his gaze.
He could see everything before him yet, it felt as if he could not see clearly.
That patch of light tone was slowly extending; their past, present, and future together was tied closely together... and would never part again.
As if the rain had finally visited for a long period of drought, he was especially vigorous. Fang Yuanyuan’s cheeks were flushed red and her eyes seed lost. Words that she wanted to say were in bits and pieces; it was all broken by him in that space they shared.
“... Rember to think of when I’m not by your side...”
“During Lunar New Year’s Eve, I’ll go to the suburbs to set off fireworks. If you see it, you can guess which one is the one that I set off...”
“No matter what happens, you have to rember that I’m waiting for you...”
“You have to rember... that I will keep waiting forever till you return...”
Huang He lifted her body upwards. “You’ll wait for forever?”
“Yes... yes... yes...”
“How long is your ‘forever’?”
Fang Yuanyuan was gasping for air; she could not answer him since spasms were running through her body.
After the sensation had passed, she suddenly embraced him tightly while her head was pressing against him in their tight embrace to feel their heat and sweat. After that, she put down her arms weakly and looked at the ceiling.
“Until the day I die...”
