Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 2534 - 2527: I’ll Be With You for a Lifetime

June’s weather changes as unpredictably as a child’s moods.

Just now, the sky was clear, but a thick mass of dark clouds heralds a coming storm.

Ji Chuan dragged his heavy steps along the road, as the wind rocked the branches incessantly, and pedestrians hurriedly quickened their pace to seek shelter from the rain.

"Cheng Yue! Let’s go home?" Shen Qiqi yelled loudly into Cheng Yue’s ear, trying to hold down her dress fluttering wildly in the wind.

"I’m sorry, Qiqi. You go back on your own! I want to be alone." The news hit her hard, and Cheng Yue couldn’t process it all at once.

His heart felt heavy and oppressed, and he had no words to express his pain.

"It’s going to rain, Cheng Yue!"

So what if it rains? At this moment, Cheng Yue felt that the whole world was dark, with no light, no hope.

"Don’t be like this! So what if you’re heartbroken? Look at me, am I not being let down by you every day? I live through heartbreak every day, and over time, you’ll become immune to it!"

"Cheng Yue!!! It’s just Yan Huan that’s gone, isn’t it? As long as you like, I’ll stay with you for a lifetime!"

"Cheng Yue!!"

Shen Qiqi spoke so much that her mouth was dry, but Cheng Yue remained unmoved. His heart was fully immersed in sadness, and he wasn’t in the mood to listen to what Shen Qiqi was saying.

Crash~

A clap of thunder split the sky, and bean-sized raindrops poured down.

Pedestrians scattered to find shelter from the rain, except Cheng Yue, who refused to. He let himself be drenched, walking aimlessly along the road, forgetting time and place.

He didn’t know how long he had been walking when he suddenly heard several loud sneezes behind him.

Cheng Yue slowly turned around and saw Shen Qiqi wrapping her arms around herself, head bowed, following him all the way.

"Qiqi... why didn’t you go home?" He stopped and looked through the heavy rain at Shen Qiqi who was soaked to the skin.

"If you’re not going back, I’m not going back. I already said I’d stay with you; whenever you go back, I’ll go back." Shen Qiqi wiped the rain from her face, looking at him with sadness.

"You’ll catch a cold this way."

"I don’t care."

"I’m a man, I’m strong! You can’t!" Cheng Yue remembered Shen Qiqi’s father’s appeal; he said Qiqi was happy today, and told him not to upset her. Looks like he’s going to break that promise again.

"I don’t mind. As long as I’m with you!" Shen Qiqi stepped forward and helped wipe the rain off Cheng Yue’s face, saying, "Don’t forget, you promised to be my lover for twenty-four hours. You can’t break your word! As for your feelings with Yan Huan, you’ll have plenty of days to grieve in the future. Today, why not forget all of it, okay?"

"I’m not going back to Nancheng anymore," Cheng Yue said.

Shen Qiqi gradually smiled: "Cheng Yue, have you decided? Are you not going to fight for Yan Huan anymore?"

"I..."

"I knew it. Someone as devoted as you wouldn’t give up so easily," Shen Qiqi smiled bitterly, "If you still can’t let go, you should return to Nancheng tomorrow. It’s raining today, let’s go back first. I declare the one-day lover plan over!"

"I’m sorry. In the future, in the future... I might not be able to make it up to you." Cheng Yue said with a dull gaze.

"It doesn’t matter anymore." Shen Qiqi wiped the wetness from her face, not knowing if it was rain or tears, "Let’s go home!"

"Alright." Cheng Yue finally agreed.

The two of them slowly walked back, and as they passed the intersection, Cheng Yue suddenly remembered something.
