a man who appears once a year

At the moment when Ruan Qiuping lost his consciousness most, Yu Huan tightly grasped his wrist, and then clasped his fingers inch by inch, spraying hot breath on his body, causing a shudder.

Yu Huan kissed his heart, his voice became hoarse as if covered by wind and sand:

"Ruan Ruan loves me... okay?"

Ruan Qiuping's pupils trembled slightly, and his lips parted, as if he wanted to respond, but he didn't say anything.

Fortunately, Yu Huan lowered his eyes, leaned over to kiss him again, and blocked his mouth.

It made his strange silence a very logical thing.

Ruan Qiuping knew that he would be tortured miserably, but he didn't expect to be tortured so miserably.

The whole body seems to be falling apart.

Even when going to take a bath, Yu Huan put down his crutches and limped to hug him.

After Ruan Qiuping regained his energy, he really wanted to scold Yu Huan head-on and face-to-face.

But before he could utter the curse words, he remembered Yu Huan's question and his own silent answer just now.

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head.

At that time... when Yu Huan asked him like that.

He should have said "yes".

But he didn't say anything.

Although Yu Huan ended the questioning with a kiss, he must be very disappointed in his heart.

Thinking of Yu Huan being disappointed, guilt flooded up like a tide.

For a moment, Ruan Qiuping almost couldn't control himself, wanted to confess to Yu Huan, wanted to tell Yu Huan that I love you.

But that is cheating.

He clearly knew that his feelings for Yu Huan were not love, so he couldn't say such words.

But if... If Yu Huan asked him again, "Does Ruan Ruan love me?"

He will say yes.

Because he said yes, at least it means that he is working hard to love Yu Huan, and it is not considered cheating.

But Yu Huan never asked him this question again.

When Yu Huan was making the bed, he picked up the Supreme Good Luck Charm that fell on the bed at some point.

Fortunately, this talisman was covered with fairy magic, and it would be restored to its original state with a light shake, otherwise it would have been ravaged by them long ago.

Ruan Qiuping looked at the talisman and asked, "Yu Huan, why don't you put this talisman on your body? This talisman doesn't take up much space, so you can just put it in your pocket. Why do I come down every time?" , this talisman is hidden somewhere beside you?"

Today it is hidden in the bedside table.

Last year, he hid in Yu Huan's office.

Although it is always in a place where Yu Huan can get it at any time, but it is not on Yu Huan's body every time.

Yu Huan handed this talisman to Ruan Qiuping, and said, "Ruan Ruan, take this talisman."

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why?"

Yu Huan said: "Ruan Ruan, actually I don't like this talisman very much. The reason why I carry this talisman is because you will let me touch you only if it is here."

But Ruan Qiuping didn't know when it would suddenly appear, so he had to carry this talisman every day.

For a while, he even thought about making a fake talisman and putting it on his body.

But the idea was quickly abandoned.

When he was 17 years old, he and Ruan Qiuping had a car accident together, and Ruan Ruan put all the responsibility on his own bad luck.

If something happens to Ruan Ruan after he loses this talisman... He no longer has the courage to accept Ruan Ruan's second disappearance.

So even if he hated this talisman, he always had to carry it.

Ruan Qiuping: "Then why did you give me this talisman?"

"Since the purpose of this talisman is to touch Ruan Ruan for me, why don't Ruan Ruan carry it with me and give it to me every day when I go down to earth."

Although he hated this supreme good luck talisman and the auspicious god who made it, he also hoped that with the help of the good luck talisman, Ruan Ruan, who had always been unlucky, would become luckier.

Ruan Qiuping frowned: "But in this case, you won't be so lucky all the time."

Yu Huan smiled and said, "I don't need much luck, as long as I'm lucky enough to touch you."

Yu Huan paused, then continued: "Besides, this good luck charm is really too powerful. With it by your side, it's easy for people to become too slack and only rely on good luck."

As expected of an auspicious god, he still has this kind of ideological awareness!

Ruan Qiuping admired silently in his heart.

But what Yu Huan said made sense, after all, Yu Huan survived the calamity, it would be bad if his calamity was broken because of this good luck talisman.

Ruan Qiuping nodded and said, "Okay, but you take it first, and you give it to me when I leave."

Before Ruan Qiuping left, he didn't put the lucky charm directly in his pocket, but put it in the red envelope first, and then put it in the Qiankun bag.

Because Ruan Qiuping discovered that a small spell was actually cast on the red envelope, which could seal and preserve this good luck charm intact.

The supreme good luck talisman and Jingyang's bad luck fading talisman should be similar, and they have an expiry date.

However, the period of use of this talisman is not a date, but a gift of good luck.

Ruan Qiuping felt that with his bad luck, if he put this good luck charm directly on his body, within five days, the good luck charm would be scrapped.

After packing up the talisman, there were only five seconds left in the time.

Ruan Qiuping waved at Yu Huan: "See you next year."

Yu Huan also smiled and waved to him, saying, "See you tomorrow."

Days go by.

Ruan Qiuping still went down to earth once a day, and Yu Huan still saw him once a year.

Kissing each other has become very natural for them.

Sometimes when they sat quietly on the sofa, they would turn their heads and kiss lightly.

Yu Huan seems to like kissing Ruan Qiuping very much.

But in contrast, Ruan Qiuping prefers to hold hands or hug.

Every time Ruan Qiuping came down, Yu Huan would take him to different places to see the scenery and have a feast in different places.

Occasionally, they nest at home to rest, leaning against each other, wearing comfortable pajamas, sometimes watching TV, sometimes playing games, sometimes doing nothing, just talking about some heavenly and human things.

When Yu Huan was 49 years old, he went to ride the Ferris wheel with Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping used to dislike the Ferris wheel very much. He was always afraid that his bad luck would make that thing suddenly fall from the sky.

But maybe it was because of the bad luck that was reduced, maybe it was because of the good luck charm, maybe it was because Yu Huan was by his side, suddenly Ruan Qiuping was not afraid, and even wanted to sit on the Ferris wheel and see the night view of the whole city.

When purchasing the tickets, the young man who sold them handed them to Ruan Qiuping and said, "Here, here are the tickets for you and your father."

Ruan Qiuping was almost taken aback for a moment before realizing that the "father" he was talking about referred to Yu Huan.

The 49-year-old Yu Huan is tall and tall. Even standing on the spot with a cane, his back is still straight. Some fine wrinkles have appeared on his face, but he doesn't look old at all, which makes his handsome face stand out even more. Be classy and chic.

How could such a handsome man with outstanding temperament look like his father? !

Ruan Qiuping frowned and said to the conductor: "He is not my father, he is me..."

"Thank you." Yu Huan interrupted Ruan Qiuping, and took the two tickets calmly.

"Let's go in." Yu Huan gently pulled Ruan Qiuping.

——not interlocking fingers, but holding his wrist, no different from the real father and son on the side.

Ruan Qiuping turned his head and glanced at Yu Huan, the corners of Yu Huan's lips were straight, he didn't show any anger, but he didn't smile either.

Ruan Qiuping frowned, moved his wrist, and forcefully inserted his fingers between Yu Huan's, interlocking his fingers.

Yu Huan paused.

"Let's go." Ruan Qiuping pulled him forward.

Sitting on the Ferris wheel, Ruan Qiuping leaned against the window and looked at the night view outside the window. When the Ferris wheel was about to rise to the top, he turned his head to look at Yu Huan, but he saw Yu Huan looking at him with calm and gentle eyes.

Ruan Qiuping obviously doesn't like kissing very much.

But looking at Yu Huan's expression, he remembered everything that happened when he bought the ticket just now, but he blinked and said, "Yu Huan, I heard that lovers kiss on the Ferris wheel."

Yu Huan smiled lightly, he embraced Ruan Qiuping, and kissed Ruan Qiuping lightly on the forehead.

...why not lips?

Ruan Qiuping looked at Yu Huan, a little confused.

Yu Huan seemed to see Ruan Qiuping's doubts, he said in a deep voice: "Ruan Ruan, I am 49 years old, and I will continue to grow old year after year, I am old and ugly, if I look like It turned out to be the same to Ruan Ruan, I was afraid Ruan Ruan would feel disgusted."

Ruan Qiuping frowned: "I don't feel disgusted. You don't look old at all. I think you look younger than those 40-year-old men outside. And you are not ugly at all, really! Even if you Standing with a 20-year-old, you look good too!"

Yu Huan smiled: "Thank you Ruan Ruan for complimenting me so much."

He was clearly smiling, and his expression was very gentle, but Ruan Qiuping saw a wave of light as dark as a pool of water in his still clear eyes.

Ruan Qiuping's heart tightened, he stood up, bent down, and kissed Yu Huan on his own.

Yu Huan's body froze for a moment, but he still kissed him back deeply.

Ruan Qiuping closed his eyes, wrapped his arms around Yu Huan's neck, sat on Yu Huan's left leg, raised his head, and kissed him gently and continuously.

This was almost their longest kiss, and they stopped when the Ferris wheel was about to hit the ground.

When they were about to leave, Ruan Qiuping suddenly pulled Yu Huan back and turned back. Ruan Qiuping held Yu Huan's hand, looked into the eyes of the young ticket seller just now, his eyes were bright: "Sorry to bother you, I still want to ask Please explain, we are not father and son, but partners who have been married for many years."

The young man's eyes widened in shock.

The people who lined up behind them also started talking.

Ruan Qiuping stood in the crowd, smiling fearlessly.

Yu Huan held Ruan Qiuping's hand tightly.

When Yu Huan was 50 years old, he would kiss Ruan Qiuping's forehead and Ruan Qiuping's fingers, but he would never kiss Ruan Qiuping's lips again.

He will not do anything else to Ruan Qiuping.

The long and lingering kiss on the Ferris wheel became their last intimate contact.

When Yu Huan was 53 years old, he could no longer leave his crutches.

It used to be that he was lame at most without crutches, but now without crutches, he couldn't even walk a few steps.

He couldn't walk fast anymore, but if he saw Ruan Qiuping, he would involuntarily speed up his pace, as if he wanted to run towards something.

Ruan Qiuping was like what the fifteen or sixteen year old Yu Huan had done to him, every time they met, he would run and throw himself into Yu Huan's arms.

When Yu Huan was 56 years old, he stopped frequently dyeing his white hair at the sideburns black.

He used to dye his hair as soon as he turned gray, but after he turned 56, he dyed it once a month or two.

Ruan Qiuping ran his fingertips through his white hair, and said with a smile: He is still very handsome.

When Yu Huan was 60 years old, Ruan Qiuping gave him a gift.

On that day, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was fine. Yu Huan stood on the central stage of the banquet hall and announced that he was officially resigning as the president of the Returning Group.

At the end of the speech, there was thunderous applause, and the flashlights of the major media splashed on Yu Huan's face, which was very dazzling.

When Yu Huan was about to step off the stage, his steps suddenly stopped, and he fixed his eyes on a man in the audience.

An old man who is also about 60 years old.

The man was wearing a very casual dress, which seemed a little out of date for his age.

The man took off the black peaked cap on his head with wrinkled hands. His temples were already gray, but his eyes were clear and energetic. He raised his head and smiled brightly at Yu Huan.

He stepped onto the stage step by step, interlocking fingers with Yu Huan.

The flashes that had stopped just now began to flicker again.

A short-haired reporter boldly asked: "Hi, may I ask about your identity? May I ask what is your relationship with Mr. Yu of Guilai Group?"

The 60-year-old man showed off the same wedding ring as Yu Huan with a smile, and said, "I am a same-sex couple who have been married to Yu Huan for 26 years. I am here to pick him up."

Elder Ruan Qiuping held the hand of Elder Yu Huan and walked off the podium step by step.

After walking out of the banquet hall, he leaned into Yu Huan's ear and said with a smile, "Yu Huan, I will grow old with you."

After a while, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Yu Huan, you're so old, why are you still crying like you were a child?"

Yu Huan didn't speak, but stretched out his hand, and hugged Ruan Qiuping tightly.

The aging technique is subordinate to the transformation technique, and it is an uncomplicated spell in the transformation technique, but overall, it is not simple.

After the Ferris wheel incident, Ruan Qiuping tried to learn, but there was too little time left for him. He studied day and night for ten days, but only learned a little.

When he walked out of the door today, his face changed into that of an old man, but his voice and other places remained unchanged.

That look was so weird that Ruan Dongdong almost cried in fright.

In the end, it was Xia Fushui who comforted Ruan Dongdong and asked him, "Why are you so crazy, how did you make yourself look like this?"

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head and said with some frustration: "I have a friend in the mortal world. He is getting old. I want to grow old with him."

"...friend?" Xia Fushui frowned.

After a while, Xia Fushui said to Ruan Qiuping: "Come here, I'll change it for you. How old are you going to be?"

Ruan Qiuping suddenly raised his head, looking forward to: "60 years old."

Xia Fushui's transformation technique is the most powerful, almost instantly, Ruan Qiuping turned into a 60-year-old appearance, Xia Fushui said: "I gave you the transformation technique on your body, with your skill, you still have to maintain it after you descend to the mortal world." It's a bit difficult, so you don't need to use other spells, if you use other spells, this aging spell will be broken."

Ruan Qiu nodded and said excitedly, "Thank you, Mom!"

With this aging face, walking slowly and unable to use spells, Ruan Qiuping walked to the Guanchen Gate with difficulty, and was almost stopped by the staff, so he was allowed to descend to the mortal world with such an appearance.

All in all, in order to make himself look like this old man, Ruan Qiuping spent a lot of effort.

But seeing Yu Huan hugging him tightly, Ruan Qiuping felt that everything was worth it.

Time continues to pass, but the difference is——

Yu Huan was the only one who was getting old year after year.

But now, it has become a pair.

When Yu Huan was 75 years old, the elderly Ruan Qiuping walked tremblingly and had to support Yu Huan to walk.

Yu Huan was leaning on crutches, Ruan Qiuping supported Yu Huan, the two of them were walking unsteadily on the way home, the sun was setting, and the figures of the two were stretched long, like a quiet painting.

When Yu Huan was 77 years old, his physical condition no longer allowed him to continue using artificial limbs, and he had to use a wheelchair when he went out.Although the elderly Ruan Qiuping was still trembling when he walked, he walked steadily when pushing Yu Huan's wheelchair.

Ruan Qiuping pushed Yu Huan and went fishing by the river together. Ruan Qiuping became sleepy after fishing, and fell asleep with Yu Huan's right leg as a pillow.

The wind blows the reeds by the river, and the sunset spreads on the vast lake.

In the flowing scenery, 77-year-old Yu Huan leaned over, smiled and kissed 77-year-old Ruan Qiuping on the cheek.

It's like the boy at the desk who kissed his beloved secretly in the summer when he was 17 years old.

When Yu Huan was 86 years old, he was plugged into a ventilator and lying on a hospital bed. He always fell asleep and rarely woke up, but he stayed here for many days.

The doctor said that his physical condition was already very bad, but for some reason, the patient was still holding on.

Ruan Qiuping hurriedly pushed the door and entered. The 86-year-old was also leaning on a cane. He almost fell when he entered the door, but he still trembled and walked in front of Yu Huan.

Ruan Qiuping stopped by Yu Huan's side, tremblingly shouted: "Yu Huan."

Due to aging and sadness, his voice became hoarse at this moment, and even Ruan Qiuping himself could not distinguish his own voice.

But Yu Huan, who had been sleeping for many days, slowly opened his eyes at this moment.

His hair was completely white, but his eyes were not as cloudy as those of ordinary old people, they were still as clear as water.

Seeing Ruan Qiuping, there was a smile in his eyes. He seemed to want to raise his arm, but he didn't. He only moved his fingers.

He looked at Ruan Qiuping, seemed to be in better spirits, and opened his mouth with a smile: "...Ruan Ruan, it's time for you."

Ruan Qiuping took out the good luck charm, put it in Yu Huan's palm, and clasped his fingers together: "I came too late."

"It's not too late." Yu Huan said, "Ruan Ruan appears once a year, as long as it comes on any day of the year, it's not too late."

...this is what he said when he was seven years old.

Yu Huan has been waiting for him since he was five years old, and now at the age of 86, he has been waiting for him for 81 years.

Ruan Qiuping even felt that he was trembling even when he was breathing, and he couldn't help crying when he opened his mouth.

At this moment, Yu Huan suddenly coughed again.

Yu Huan couldn't stop coughing, his whole face turned red.

Ruan Qiuping stretched out his hand in a panic, using healing techniques to heal him.

When the last bit of strength was exhausted, Yu Huan finally stopped coughing, and Ruan Qiuping's transforming technique couldn't hold up anymore, and he shattered in an uproar. A burst of silvery light took away his 86-year-old appearance, and changed back to the 20-year-old Early youth.

Without the cover of wrinkles, the redness of his eyes became more and more obvious, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

Looking at Ruan Qiuping like this, Yu Huan looked a little dazed, as if the two of them had returned to their youth together.

"Ruan Ruan has become younger." Yu Huan said softly.

It was only then that Ruan Qiuping realized that the aging technique on his body could not last until the last moment. He touched his cheek, his eyes were a little anxious, as if he wanted to use the spell again to make himself grow old again.

But he just used magic to heal Yu Huan, and he no longer has the skill to use the aging technique that he didn't learn well.

Seeing Ruan Qiuping's flustered expression, Yu Huan sighed softly in his heart.

In the beginning, he, Yu Huan, was obviously the only one who cared about the age difference.

Because he is aging day by day, and because his lover is forever young, he will always feel powerless and painful when he sees the age difference between the two.

But since when did the person who was more afraid of Yu Huan's aging, and more afraid of himself being young, become Ruan Qiuping.

His Ruan Ruan was originally such a young man in his early 20s, but in order to take into account his self-esteem as a mortal, he had to age himself into a seventy-eighty-year-old appearance every day before going down to earth.

"It's okay, Ruan Ruan." Yu Huan held his hand, his voice became more and more slow, "...It's also good that you are like this, I haven't seen your original appearance for a long time."

After a while, Yu Huan said softly again: "Don't cry, Ruan Ruan."

"I didn't cry." Ruan Qiuping wiped away tears.

"Ruan Ruan, let's go." Yu Huan spoke more and more with difficulty, "I will... soon become ugly, I don't want... I don't want to scare Ruan Ruan."

Ruan Qiuping squeezed Yu Huan's hand tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to leave, I want to be with you."

Yu Huan smiled very faintly, but it seemed that he was struggling to even open his eyes: "Then Ruan Ruan... I'll sleep... Maybe I will have a sweet dream, Ruan Ruan, please don't wake me up."

"...Okay." Ruan Qiuping tremblingly said.

Yu Huan closed his eyes and fell asleep, holding Ruan Qiuping's hand.

When he was sleeping, there was still a faint smile on his lips.

It's like it's real, it's a dream.

Just never woke up again.

Yu Huan let go of Ruan Qiuping's hand weakly, and the heartbeat on the bedside machine became even.

The air became very quiet and still.

Ruan Qiuping held Yu Huan's hand again stubbornly, but Yu Huan let go of him again.

A cold, storm-like thing swept across his heart in an instant, and there was a pain in his heart that was uprooted for a moment.

……it does not matter.

Ruan Qiuping said to himself.

Yu Huan didn't really die, it was just a tribulation.

Yu Huan has returned to the sky, and he won't have to work so hard in the future, and he won't have to wait for him year after year.

Yu Huan is about to be conferred a god, he should become a veritable god of good luck, he should be happy for Yu Huan.

Ruan Qiuping advised himself over and over again.

But he still put Yu Huan's cold hand on his forehead, broke down and burst into tears.
