His whole body leaned forward like he was "sending" himself over.
Rong Xingyu’s fingers even rubbed together to make a gesture, stressing very seriously, "You, you smell, I only drank a little bit, I am not drunk."
The young man’s face moved close just like that, carrying a light fruit-wine scent.
For a moment, Ding Yixin’s body became stiff.
But Rong Xingyu did not notice at all.
His soft red lips opened and closed as he kept trying to prove he was not drunk.
Ding Yixin could not help letting out a bitter laugh.
He really had overestimated his own self-control.
Being teased in such an unconscious way by the young man made him feel like he was already close to losing control.
This little troublemaker who got drunk and flirted without thinking.
"Yuyu, if I agree to you now when you’re not fully clear-headed, it is disrespectful to you, and it is irresponsible to you. Do you understand?"
Ding Yixin could easily confirm their relationship right now and take the person he had dreamed about home, build a golden house for him, and spoil him well.
As for those few older brothers of Rong Xingyu, even if they tried to stop him, Ding Yixin did not take them seriously.
But when Rong Xingyu sobered up tomorrow, would he feel even a little regret?
Would he regret his sudden impulse tonight?
And when he stood between his older brothers and him, would Rong Xingyu feel torn and troubled?
From beginning to end, Ding Yixin cared only about Rong Xingyu.
Rong Xingyu was being watched by Ding Yixin with that extremely gentle gaze and he slowly nodded.
Ding Yixin raised his hand and touched Rong Xingyu’s hair, then let his palm rest on the back of his head.
He lowered his head a little and placed a kiss on Rong Xingyu’s forehead.
This kiss was gentle and restrained, carrying a deep feeling that made the heart tremble.
Even though Ding Yixin still kept a hand between them so that his lips did not truly touch the skin, Rong Xingyu still felt that the kiss had really landed on his forehead.
Rong Xingyu’s face grew hot.
"And as you can see, I am much older than you. Being with me means you will face many different kinds of looks from others."
Ding Yixin paused, then said, "And if one day you suddenly stop liking me, then I—"
Rong Xingyu looked at him and shook his head at once. "No, I won’t stop liking you!"
He held Ding Yixin’s hand and said softly but firmly, "I will like you always."
Ding Yixin’s eyes moved slightly, but there was a hint of bitterness on his face.
"So what I want is not a decision made in a rush under the influence of alcohol. What I want is two hearts that think carefully and choose each other with certainty. Can you do that, Yuyu?"
At that time, he would not give Rong Xingyu any chance to regret.
Ding Yixin’s gaze grew deeper and deeper, hiding all those possessive desires that could not be shown.
Rong Xingyu looked at him and his heart shook.
He had not really thought about what it would be like to be with Dr. Ding.
Maybe tonight felt too good, or maybe it really was the fruit wine, he got carried away and confessed.
He did not expect Dr. Ding’s feelings for him to be already so deep.
Seeing the sadness and bitterness on Dr. Ding’s face made Rong Xingyu’s heart feel tightly pulled.
Rong Xingyu held Dr. Ding’s hand and nodded hard. "Dr. Ding, I will prove it to you!"
Ding Yixin watched Rong Xingyu’s departing figure and the bitterness on his face suddenly disappeared.
Only when Rong Xingyu fully disappeared from sight did Ding Yixin glance toward the shadowy bushes at the corner and say calmly, "Still not coming out?"
With a rustling sound, someone walked out from behind the bushes.
The person looked pale, as if he had suffered the biggest shock of his life.
He opened his mouth, but after a long moment only managed to call out hoarsely, "Uncle..."
Ding Yixin looked at the lost-souled Ding Wei and asked, "You saw everything just now?"
He asked it as casually as if he were asking what Ding Wei had for dinner.
Ding Wei gritted his teeth and nodded.
Earlier, he had seen his uncle suddenly walking toward the flowerbeds and out of curiosity, he followed.
He didn’t expect to see Rong Xingyu there and he definitely didn’t expect Rong Xingyu to naturally take Ding Yixin’s hand and lead him deeper into the garden.
One was the family member Ding Wei respected most since childhood and the other was his former fiancé, someone he had quietly developed feelings for.
Where were they going?
Ding Wei didn’t know what he was thinking.
As if driven by instinct, he secretly followed them behind.
Then he ended up becoming the only audience, watching the entire confession from behind the bushes.
Ding Wei: "..."
To be honest, at first Ding Wei even suspected he was dreaming.
But even in his most ridiculous dreams, he never imagined that his former fiancé and his secret crush would confess to his uncle?!
And what did his uncle say?
He said he also liked Rong Xingyu?!
Was today April Fool’s Day?
Ding Wei felt the heavens were playing a huge joke on him.
"Uncle, you, how can you like..."
He wanted to say: How can you like Rong Xingyu?
Ding Yixin raised an eyebrow at Ding Wei’s collapsing expression. "Why not?"
Ding Wei’s face turned even uglier.
He really couldn’t think of a proper reason.
And the one who confessed first was Rong Xingyu.
But when he thought of how Rong Xingyu and Ding Yixin stood together just now, something in Ding Wei’s chest snapped.
For the first time in his life, he spoke to his uncle without full respect.
He forced himself to say, "Uncle, you are the elder. How can you be with the younger generation’s former fiancé—"
