[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

→Heiwajima Shizuo

1. Withdrawal

Shizuo Heiwajima was standing downstairs in his house, smoking the last cigarette of the day.

Halfway through the smoke, he dusted off the ash a little anxiously.

Perhaps because of the similar situation, he suddenly remembered the evening drama he was watching recently. The tired male lead would always stay in the car to smoke before going home.

However, this is just a meaningless association, and Shizuo Heiwajima didn't resonate with him at all—his anxiety is all because he has to waste time here, knowing that his lover is close at hand.

In just a few minutes, Shizuo didn't know how many times he raised his head to look at the balcony on the floor where they lived. He thought he probably had a little expectation that she might open the window from there, otherwise he wouldn't be like this, Every time I see a closed window sill, I feel a little more unbearable.

When there was only one third of the smoke left, Shizuo looked there again, but he still couldn't see her shadow.

……hateful.

This time, Shizuo Heiwajima stubbed out the cigarette, and he put the cigarette butt and waiting behind him without hesitation.

I need to think about quitting smoking.

Even so, the first thing Shizuo Heiwajima did after closing the door was to throw the cigarette-stained coat into the washing machine.

Shizuo, who was facing the washing machine, heard very light footsteps, but he didn't choose to expose this little prank, so he put his arms around his waist from behind before Cheng Shunli turned around him.

"Welcome back."

He raised the corner of his mouth.

"Well, I'm back."

"Hey, didn't it scare you this time?"

Cheng let go of his hand and took a step back, with a little disappointment in his voice.

Shizuo flattened the arc of his laughter, then looked back at her, and said seriously.

"I was scared."

"Liar."

He grabbed her wrist and watched her closely.

"it is true."

"certainly not."

"Cheng."

He approached unconsciously, almost pushing her against the wall.

"Can't you trust me?"

A lover who is [-] centimeters taller than himself can easily bring a sense of oppression, not to mention Shizuo Heiwajima, who is feared by the whole of Ikebukuro.

"I can't help it..."

But in Cheng Cheng's eyes, he is like a big fluffy dog ​​with fierce eyes but overprotective desire, this kind of unconscious intimacy especially makes her feel cute.

"Forget it this time, don't let me next time."

She laughed and pushed the other person's chest.

"Dinner is ready..."

"Wait a minute, Cheng."

He took out the recently unsealed cigarette case from his pocket.

"Help me keep it for a while."

"...?"

Seeing her puzzled expression, Shizuo explained.

"I'm going to quit smoking."

"Quitting smoking is of course a good thing...but why do you suddenly think so?"

"Because there's no other way."

Shizuo Heiwajima looked away slightly and frowned.

The balance was between old habits acquired shortly after adulthood and the patience time one had to put in before meeting her.

Even if it's just for a few minutes.

Balance still made a choice without hesitation.

"After all, there is no way to quit you."

2. Conceal

"Why did this happen... If you can, please tell me the whole process of what happened."

Cheng's attitude was very mild, even polite, but because of this, Shizuo Heiwajima clearly realized that she was angry.

...However, it was precisely because he knew that she would be angry about it that Shizuo went to Silla to treat the wound, and then returned home within a time that would not make her suspicious.

The only leak was an inconspicuous drop of blood on the shirt.

Even the details that Shizuo Heiwajima hadn't noticed by himself didn't escape her eyes.

So Cheng finally found the wound on his abdomen.

In fact, it was not a serious injury, and it was treated in a timely manner. For Shizuo Heiwajima, who has a special physique, it is not surprising that he will recover tomorrow——

Although it is the truth, saying it on such an occasion is like defending yourself.

"……Feel sorry."

He bowed his head and apologized honestly.

Because he was caught by the surprise inspection after taking a shower, his hair was wet, like the fur of an animal whose fur has been wet by the rain.

Then, Shizuo Heiwajima just looked into Cheng's eyes in silence.

He can never learn to be tactful, and he can't speak eloquently, but Shizuo Heiwajima's heart has always been undisguised, clearly and honestly displayed in front of her.

This kind of clumsiness is actually his cunning...at least for Cheng.

"...Being angry with you makes me feel like I did something wrong."

Cheng sighed.

"But, you know, every time something like this happens, I'm so jealous of Silla."

"why?"

"Because..." Cheng leaned closer to him, covered his wound with his right hand, and looked deeply into his eyes, "Compared to me, you always think that Silla is a more reliable target——Compared to me, you are more reliable." Be willing to let others know your vulnerability."

Her voice dropped.

"Is that right?"

Shizuo panicked for a moment, he wanted to hold her hand, but in vain.He looked down and saw that the wound had been completely healed, but she also withdrew her hand, which made him feel an indescribable sense of emptiness.

"No."

He looked at her again, and repeated his gaze firmly.

"Cheng, no."

Shizuo said.

"The reason why I went to Silla is because I don't want you to know about this wound...and the reason for this wound."

"Really." Cheng looked away, "It's okay, I won't force you..."

"Listen to me, Cheng."

Shizuo grabbed her hand, clasping it tightly as if afraid of her refusal.

"Today, there are more people looking for trouble than usual... And, I met Lin Ye."

Cheng listened quietly, but his narration slowed down.

After a short pause, Shizuo continued.

"He mentioned you."

"Surrounded...it's still the same grand occasion." When Orihara Rin also said this, he still used a light tone full of malice, "What would happen if that person was here at this moment? Can you really take care of yourself?" Guard her? Xiaojing, because you are only suitable to be a monster who is alone—”

Although Shizuo was used to all kinds of bad words from the other party, but this sentence hit a certain feeling deep in his heart very accurately.

Perhaps there is also the effect of the withdrawal effects of cigarettes.

In short, Shizuo Heiwajima was provoked by him more easily than usual, and when he lost control, someone stabbed a knife in his stomach during the commotion...

The injury is not worth mentioning, this is a matter of course, it is difficult for ordinary cold weapons to cause any decent damage to Shizuo, but the wound did remain - for Shizuo Heiwajima, this became a thing he wanted. Something hidden from her.

Not only because of being told what was on my mind.

"I'm angry at myself for being affected by his words."

Shizuo said.

"I don't want to lose to him, only Lin Ye, absolutely not."

"Because you hate him?"

"Do not."

Shizuo took his lover's hand, brought it close to his face, and closed his eyes.

"Because he once felt the same feelings as I did."

He said.

"Cheng, you have already made your choice..."

——"And I, no matter what, want to prove that your choice is right."

3. ​​Taming

Like every time, the conflict between them can't last too long.

After the reconciliation this time, the family ethics drama broadcast in the evening also began to air... This is the latest regular activity of the two.

Speaking of which, Jingxiong should not be interested in this kind of TV series, not to mention that there is no You in it.

But what she was leaning on right now belonged to his shoulders.

"Actually, I don't really like this kind of TV series, it's just because there are no more interesting shows in this spare time." She raised her face and asked, "And you, don't you like it too?"

"For me..." Shizuo said slowly, "it's all the same."

"It is the same?"

"Well." He nodded, "as long as we stay with you."

"...That's a foul word." Cheng laughed, "If you were so straightforward, you would be laughed at by Mr. Tom as a person who can't do anything to women..."

"'You were tamed by Miss Cheng'." Shizuo repeated, "That's what he said."

"?!"

"After thinking about it carefully..." He showed a thoughtful expression, "I think what Senior said is right."

"Oh? Have you admitted it?!"

"Ah."

Then, with a serious expression, he corrected Cheng's initial teasing.

"However, there is no such thing as being unable to do anything about women." Shizuo said, "I just can't do anything about you."

"..."

Cheng sat up and stared at each other for a while.

"Frank people are terrible."

"?"

"No, it's nothing." Cheng smiled and stroked his hair, which was still a little wet, and she turned her gaze back to the TV, "Ah, look, the hero is finally planning to tell his wife the truth ..."

"What an unrefined person."

Shizuo, whose attention was successfully diverted, said.

"Who?"

"Protagonist." He frowned, "This person has too many things to look forward to and backward, which is unpleasant."

"After all, he is just a cowardly ordinary person." Cheng couldn't help but defend him a few words, "Not only when facing things that are afraid of, but also when facing the things you love, this is also a normal life. ..."

"I won't." He said, "There is no reason to hesitate at all for the one you love."

"……yes."

Cheng couldn't help smiling, she watched him stretch out his hand, Shizuo leaned down bewilderedly but docilely, then she hooked his neck and kissed the corner of his mouth.

"I like people who go forward."

She said, deliberately using the way the other party was called when she was a student.

"So, to you, Mr. Heihe Island..."

Cheng smiles and hides the second half of the sentence, but her young lover doesn't seem to intend to let her go just like that.

He put his arms around her waist, pushed her down on the sofa, propped up his body with his right arm, and stared at her stubbornly.

"How about it?"

"That can't be done."

She was obviously in a passive position, but she still had an attitude of ease.

"Heiwajima-kun is such a disobedient student... No, no, um..."

Her voice finally flustered, but in order to punish her, Heiwajima Shizuo did not intend to be the tamed self for the time being.

By the time this tough and domineering kiss stopped, her eyelashes were already a little wet from tears.

They stare at each other.

"Can you tell me now?"

He said in a low voice.

"teacher."

→ Celty

1. Imaginary enemy

It has been a while since the two started dating and living together.

And the habit of going on dates every weekend has been going on for a long time.

"So, where does Celty want to go tomorrow?"

Cheng lay on the bed, flipping through the latest Tokyo travel magazine, and asked.

Celti sat down next to her, and together they looked at the dating spots recommended by magazines for couples.

"Let me see... the third place is the aquarium, and the second place is the shrine with good luck in courtship... They are all places I have been to-ah, the number one is the recently opened popular... ..."

Cheng stopped suddenly, and she turned back to the previous page calmly.

"There's nothing wrong with revisiting a place you've been, is there, Celty?"

Although she changed the subject, Celty had already seen it.

The number one date spot for couples is a bakery.

——Cheng, you really like cakes, right?

"Like is liking... But if it's not a place that makes both of you happy, it's not a date."

Just like Celty thought.

Because she is such a gentle person, it is impossible not to consider herself who cannot enjoy food...

——Sure enough, lovers with heads are better, right?

"Why the sudden depression, Celty?"

The laughing Cheng embraced the identity of the Dullahan's lover.

Serti held her shoulders with his hands, and continued the topic stubbornly.

——If I have a head, I can go to the cake shop with you, and I can share two flavors of ice cream... After all, I must face a very serious competition without a head, Cheng?I know that human beings will change their hearts when they meet someone with a more beautiful appearance!For me, let alone the appearance, even the head...

"Wait, Celty, wait a minute."

Cheng hurriedly stopped the increasingly disturbed lover.

"Appearance is the most insignificant thing to me... What's more, Serti is obviously a very beautiful person, whether it's a part of the body or—"

--head.

Celti seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt volley suddenly.

She looked at the container in the glass cabinet... Although it was placed with decorations such as carved artwork, it was undoubtedly a head soaked in liquid.

That was Celty's head.

After recovering the head, Celti still decided to spend the rest of her life with her lover first, so she cut off the connection with the head again, and the head was temporarily stored by them...

The first thing to explain is that Celti's head has an astonishingly beautiful appearance. So far, there are not a few human beings who have been captured by this magical beauty.

——Do you like that guy better?

Celty stood up with a "bass".

"Selty, isn't it rude to call your own head 'that guy'?"

—Which side do you like, Cheng!

"Of course Celty."

she replied intently.

"What I like is the Celty who responds to me, hugs me, and also likes me."

——Even if it doesn’t have a head?

"To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet, Celty."

As she said, she put her palm on Celti's chest, but there was no heartbeat, but Chengrou's mood did not change at all.

"Selty's heart is more complete than most people, and full of gentle power, because with you, even my shortcomings are gradually filled...so I always think that Celty is a Perfect female."

Before she had time to be shy, she had already approached her. The PDA in Celti's hand fell on the bed, and her mood became like a girl's nervous expectation, but also uneasy.

Cheng...

She kissed Celti's beautiful collarbone, then raised her head and said to her with a smile.

"If I have to say regret, the only thing I can do is not being able to kiss your lips."

2. Heartbeat moment

In the end, the two found the best date place.

"I didn't expect the test screening of "Stranger Things" to be so close."

On the way back, Cheng happily said to Celti.

——It’s really emotional, the filmization of "Stranger Things" has already reached the third season.

"Obviously, at the beginning, I could only rent a video tape... Ah, Celty." She suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, "Isn't this just like our golden wedding anniversary?"

——Wait, Cheng.

Celty laughed.

—So we have been married for 50 years?

"Selty, when it comes to this, I feel a little distressed."

She took her lover's hand and walked lightly in front.

"I, I hope that time will pass faster, but also hope that time will not go so fast."

——Why, Cheng?

"This feeling, is it like writing a diary?" Cheng said, "I hope to accumulate a thick book soon, and I want the memories of each page to be clear forever..."

She looked up at the orange sky at dusk, looked back at her, and smiled slightly.

"No, it's better to slow down."

Celti felt her heart beating violently for her at this moment.

On a certain day in the past, the person in front of me once asked herself tenderly and sadly, if in a long time, when time forced them to separate, she, who was single, began to feel sad for this time with each other what can we do about it.

Indeed, for Celti, human life is as short as this twilight that is coming to an end...

But the weight of the time with her cannot be simply measured in terms of length.

For example.

No matter how much time has passed, she will always remember the heart-beating feeling of this moment.

As long as she's still the same Celty who got her heartbeat from her.

3. Wedding dress

One day, when passing by a shop window, Celti suddenly stopped there for a while.

"What are you looking at?"

Cheng followed her from behind.

"Ah, it's a wedding dress."

Celty turned to her and nodded.

Through the transparent glass, a wedding dress is on display in the window.Whether it's the ankle-length white front skirt, the cloud-like stacked trailing part, or the soft floral decorations and ruffles, Celti feels very beautiful.

"Pretty, isn't it?" Cheng said to her, "Certi wants to see through..."

--not me.

she replied.

—I think it suits you very well.

—I want to see you put it on.

When Cheng was slightly stunned, Celti had already walked into the store. When Cheng also stepped into the bridal shop full of soft-colored lights, flowers, ribbons and crepes, he saw the clerk coming from Celti. What did you take in your hand.

Celty turned around and took her hand.

—I gave them the address.

——When you get home, can you wear it for me, Cheng?

"...How could you refuse?"

Through the helmet, Celti saw the stars in her eyes.

"I was asked by my lover to wear a wedding dress..."

"Every woman will feel extremely happy."

The wedding dress was delivered quickly.

There is.

She really fits it well.

Ever since Cheng put on this white wedding dress, Celti has never put down the camera.

Cheng Cheng in the camera asked her with a smile.

"Three and 10 minutes have been filmed, isn't that enough?"

——It’s not enough, I’m not satisfied yet.

"But, Celty, don't you think there's something missing in the shot?"

--Varied……

Before Celti finished typing, Cheng came over and took her hand, the picture shook for a while, Celti had to put it on the tripod, and she led it into the camera.

"There is only one bride, it really doesn't work."

Celty thought for a moment.

—That's right.

She snapped her fingers, and the black mist enveloped her heavily, turning into a black suit.

Celty stared at the mirror for a while.

——Although the color matches well, it's a bit boring.

The black particles rolled again, and Celty put on a suit of armor.

——How about this?The Dark Knight and the White Bride?

It wasn't long before Celty changed his mind.

——No, a wedding should still look like a wedding.

For the last time, when her figure appeared, what was reflected in the mirror was a woman's slender and soft body.

The black gauze gloves decorated with lace made Celti's skin extremely pale, as dignified and clean as the black rose bouquet in her arms.

It was a black wedding dress.

——This is still the best.

"Selty."

Cheng smiled and walked towards her.

"Please exchange bouquets with me."

then.

White wedding gauze, and black roses.

Black wedding dress, and white roses.

"So……"

Cheng touched her neck with his lips.

"Selty, you are my bride too."

→ Orihara Rinya

1. tit for tat

This morning, when Orihara woke up, there was no one around him.

He regained consciousness quickly, and his revived brain began to function, quickly acquiring and processing information.His eyes turned around, and her mobile phone and ID were not nearby.

Orihara Lin also pushed open the bedroom door, and finally saw her suitcase in the entrance. At the same time, he noticed the sound of water flowing from the bathroom.

It looked like she hadn't had time to leave yet.

His frown was slightly flattened, and the sound of water in the bathroom also stopped at this time.

When Cheng opened the door, her lover was leaning against the wall, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Good morning, Cheng."

Cheng smiled at him as usual.

"Good morning."

"So..." Lin also glanced at the suitcase, "Should we still go?"

"Yes."

There was no emotion in Lin Ye's gaze, Cheng stared at him calmly, two seconds passed like this, Lin Ye chuckled, turned and walked into the kitchen.

"Okay, as you please."

He seemed to have completely forgotten the conversation just now, and his voice sounded the same as usual.

"What do you want to eat, cereal and toast?"

"Hot cocoa is fine."

"I ran out of cocoa powder, can I have coffee?"

"Ah."

Lin also stopped talking, and after a while, the sound of the coffee machine running came from the kitchen.

Cheng sat at the dining table, leaned on the chair, and closed his eyes.

When Lin Ye came out with a coffee cup, Cheng still had his eyes closed, as if he accidentally fell asleep while waiting.Orihara Lin also lightly placed the cup on the mat without making any sound.

He stared at her quiet side face, and almost wanted to reach out to touch Cheng's cheek, but before he could, she opened her eyes.

"Thank you."

Cheng blinked, picked up the cup, and took a small sip of coffee.

Lin also pulled away the chair opposite her and sat down.

Cheng glanced at him first, then turned his gaze away.

Orihara Lin also noticed that she was looking at the wall clock on the wall.

"You're such an exaggerated person, Cheng."

He complained both true and false.

"Do you want to leave me that much?"

"It's not like that."

Facing Lin Ye's accusation, she responded gently.

"It's just that as a lover, I understand you better than ordinary people."

"Like ordinary lovers, it is very difficult for us to establish an intimate relationship of mutual dependence for the purpose of long-term... You should know better than me, Lin Ye?"

"It's exactly as you said."

Orihara Lin also accepted her statement quite calmly.

"Cheng, your existence is simply challenging the foundation of my 'human love'—but about ninety-nine percent of the current situation is caused by my distorted personality."

"For the time being, it's still an objective evaluation." She smiled, "Since that's the case, the current situation must have troubled you. Do you want to separate completely?"

"Are you making fun of me, Cheng? If I could do it, I would have done it a long time ago." Lin Ye said, "The part I didn't expect is that you are a more ruthless person than I imagined..."

"I'm just a little bit stubborn."

Cheng put the coffee cup back on the tray, folded his hands, and looked at him intently.

"What's more, I told you, as long as you can keep me..."

"I'm really doing this." He suddenly asked, "What's the matter, Cheng, is the coffee not to your taste?"

Cheng didn't speak, his eyes were still clear.

After a short silence, Lin also laughed.

"Has it been discovered?"

He tore away the pretense and brought out his worst nature.

"Don't be so defensive, Cheng, it's just a little bit of sleep aid... You can understand it, because of my love for you, I tried everything I could to keep you—"

"Cheng."

The smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

"At this point today, the one percent that should be blamed on you is..."

——"You happen to be a person who cannot be raised."

2. Misty Clouds

"Can't I just drive you?"

"I booked a taxi, besides..." she said, "Are you so trustworthy, Lin Ye?"

"That's what he said."

Orihara twitched the corner of his mouth as if mocking himself.

"Going to the airport, right? At least let me give you a ride."

There is no reason for rejection.

Cheng nodded.

"it is good."

"Today...it's really nice weather."

Although lamenting the good weather, Cheng couldn't tell how happy Lin Ye was.

Perhaps sensing Cheng's thoughts, Lin also turned to look at her.

"No one can be happy. The day when the lover left is such a sunny day."

He paused.

"When will you come back next time?"

"Next week, next month... next quarter, or next year." She said, "In short, it will be a day that is not too far away."

"Your judgment on the sense of distance is really strict, Cheng."

"I think it's you who should correct the concept of distance."

"So you just removed all the bugs and locators I put in your phone and suitcase?"

Although he frowned in dissatisfaction, he still smiled.

"It's too cautious."

"In order to ensure that there is no omission, I also took a lot of effort."

Cheng turned her head and moved a little closer to him, her long hair slipped from her shoulders.

"Honestly, I've been thinking, what else are you going to do?"

Her words were like intimate whispers.

"What are you thinking about, Lin Ye?"

"A way...it's not impossible."

he said quietly.

"From tampering with luggage, to simply causing a small car accident to paralyze the traffic on the road, I have considered it all."

"Besides, I didn't expect the morning coffee to be of any use. It just made me confirm that you are serious about leaving me."

Speaking of which, there is nothing surprising about this.

"Cheng, this was clearly expected, and even I know better than anyone why you left—our relationship has fallen into a strange circle."

"I don't know when to start, none of us can move forward anymore. It is indeed better to separate at this time."

Cheng said softly.

"Do you really think so, Lin Ye?"

He looked over suddenly, his eyes flickering with a look of uncertainty.

"Really sharp."

He said.

"Cheng, the truth is, I don't care who is the right one—anyway, I won't allow you to say goodbye."

Then, Lin also ordered the person in the driver's seat.

"According to the agreement, let's return here."

"...How should I put it?"

She showed a slightly surprised expression, and then a helpless smile.

"Even if it's a child, it won't be more willful than you."

"Cheng, didn't you already know my personality?"

"That's true." She pondered for a while, "To deal with you like this, you can only use immature methods."

"... Cheng?"

Cheng opened the car door, and the high-speed airflow lifted her hair.

Orihara Rinya's leeway disappeared in an instant.

"Do not make jokes……!"

"Are you joking, don't you understand, Lin Ye?"

She brushed her sideburns.

"Next, let's see how you choose."

Lin also opened his eyes wide, seeing her unwavering expression, he suddenly felt the loneliness and silence of being imprisoned in deep water, and at the same time, he heard his own voice.

"stop……"

boom--

No one noticed when the bright sky turned dark.

There was a sudden thunder and heavy rain.

"Ah...Speaking of which, the weather forecast did say that there is a possibility that it will become a thunderstorm."

Cheng looked up at the sky.

"It has to be postponed."

3. One step away

Lin also watched the raindrops hit the glass window of the cafe with cold eyes.

Cheng knew that he probably didn't have much desire to communicate now, but thinking that maybe in a long time, this would be the last chance to talk face to face, she still opened her mouth to break the silence.

"Are you still employing Miss Po Jiang?"

He did not respond.

Cheng spoke softly.

"Whether it's Miss Bo Jiang, Ji Tian and Long Zhifeng, or others, it's better to be gentle."

"As for Shilla and Celty." She said, "Regardless of the former, if even Celty is angry with you, you probably went too far."

"There's still Jing..."

"Do you have to mention that person at such a time?" Lin Ye couldn't bear to interrupt her, "Anyway, you don't care about my affairs anymore, so it doesn't matter."

"I don't care about your affairs... just the opposite." She smiled faintly, "It is precisely because I care too much about your affairs that I realize that if I continue like this, I will not see the future."

——"Whether it's you... or between us."

"My company may give you the illusion that you just need to maintain the status quo, but between pure self and other things, it is impossible to give up neither side."

"Lin Ye, if you want to continue to insist on your arrogance to others, you have to endure loneliness and completely abandon the understanding from others...Which one do you think is better, please think carefully without my interference .”

The rain gradually became lighter, and the sunlight projected between the two of them from the gap in the clouds, leaving a not-so-bright spot of light.

"I'll be waiting for your answer."

She stood up and gave her lover who was about to part with a lingering kiss.

"Goodbye, Lin Ye."

When it was time to go, she didn't mind getting wet even though it was still raining.

She wasn't sure whether this would be the beginning or the end. All in all, it was finally time for things to come to an end...

When she thought so.

"I'm a freewheeling person."

The young man with black hair and red eyes grabbed her arm vigorously.

"It's fine to say it's ego, self-willed, presumptuous or indulgent. In short, I am such a person."

"Cheng, I hate being restrained, but there are many people or things that I want to control—whether rational or emotional, they are just masks. The center of all my actions is always to satisfy my own desires..."

"That's how I am. When I learned that you were leaving me, I never stopped thinking about how to keep you."

"Whether I want to do this, what price I will pay for it, whether you agree with it, and what kind of future this will lead us to, it doesn't matter anymore."

He said.

"Cheng, this is the last effort I can make for this."

Lin also took out a pair of rings from his breast pocket, and he put on one of them.

"I have no position to ask you anything, because..."

He didn't put another one on her, but put it in her palm together with the right to choose.

"I have already fallen into your snare, Miss Kawasaki."

"That's my answer."

"...What should I do, I'm not the type to change my mind easily."

She looked down at the ring in her hand.

"However, if you choose to skip this step, then there is nothing I can do."

Cheng put the ring on the ring finger of his left hand, and then reached out to him.

"Since we have caught up..."

"Then come with me, Lin Ye."
