Chapter 42 - 2.21
The engagement party was held in Duan family’s private garden. It was a private party for the elites, because Junze and Yunyu didn’t have any close friend from high school, Duan Biya decided to invite all Duan family’s business relations, because it would help Junze to familiarize with the circle.
Yunyu watched the beautiful party in front of him. The elegant suits and dresses, the beautiful decorated garden with soft-coloured drapes, and all the lamps that made it even more magical. Yunyu sighed.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Junze asked Yunyu. Because Yunyu didn’t seem to be very happy with the engagement party. He held Yunyu’s hand and kissed it, "Aren’t you happy with our engagement?"
Yunyu saw their hands entangled together and that shining rings on their fingers were proof of their engagement. Yunyu shook his head, "It’s not it. I just can’t believe that I will be engaged at the age of nineteen and with you, Zhou Junze, out of all kinds of people."
"Then, do you regret it?" Junze’s gaze darkened, he had a lot of ways to tie Yunyu to his side, but he wanted Yunyu to love him truly without any coercion. If Yunyu regretted the engagement, then he would find another way as long as Yunyu would be on his side.
"Not at all," Yunyu smiled, "I’m grateful that it’s you."
"... I love you, Yunyu." Junze uttered. He kissed Yunyu’s lips in front of the guests, which made them squeal in adoration. Junze and Yunyu’s love story was the source of talk in social media, and the entertainment industry even contacted them, because they wanted to make it a movie about high school drama.
After Junze kissed Yunyu, Junze spoke in front of the guests, "Thank you, honorable ladies and gentlemen who have come to this engagement party of me and my fiancée, Li Yunyu. I do not have much to say, but I want to thank my fiancée for being the source of strength, and happiness. He is the one who changed me, encouraging me to be who I am now. He is... my starlight."
Junze turned his head towards Yunyu, and a rare sincere smile appeared on his face, "Li Yunyu, I love you."
"I love you too, Zhou Junze."
