Chapter 96 Belonging to Your Life

In fact, the two didn't officially start moving until the next day.

Shen Jinzhi's hand injury hadn't recovered yet, and Cheng Muze didn't want to use someone else's hand, so the heavy responsibility of the matter fell on Cheng Muze.

Although it was agreed not to do anything, Shen Jinzhi couldn't help but help.Fortunately, it was just going upstairs to downstairs, and he could handle it with one hand.

"lay down!"

Shen Jinzhi let go of his hand, and the thing he was holding almost fell off.

Behind him, Cheng Mu glared displeasedly and said, "Say it again, don't touch those things, I'll do it."

"If you feel free, watch TV. There is refreshment on the coffee table, or go to the study room. Isn't the periodical from the publishing house here? Go read it, or go to sleep." Cheng Mu could not refuse. Put down the things in his hands, "In short, don't move things."

Hearing Cheng Muze's instructions, Shen Jinzhi suddenly felt a strange sense of identity exchange.

He twisted his fingertips, his palm was empty, but the bottom of his heart was full.

Cheng Mu pushed him to sit on the sofa, and gestured to him several times before starting to work again.

Shen Jinzhi couldn't resist him, so he had to relax.

While enjoying the feeling of being taken care of, he was afraid that Cheng Mu would be tired, so he packed up the things he needed to bring for the trip after sitting for a while.

Cheng Mu glanced into the room from the door, and saw that Shen Jinzhi was just arranging his clothes, so he didn't say anything else.

"Snapped--"

A stack of papers fell from his hands.

Cheng Mu put down the other items in his hand and picked up the documents on the ground.

On the cover, the words "rent and lease agreement" clearly come into view.

On the day when the co-tenancy agreement was drafted, he sat alone in front of the computer and revised word by word according to the Internet search results, and his eyes were almost blind.

If he had known that Shen Jinzhi was so reliable in his work, he wouldn't have to make things difficult for himself.

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Jinzhi's voice came from behind, while Cheng Mu turned sideways and tapped the document in his hand: "The rental contract."

Cheng Mu pursed his mouth: "You don't even know how hard it is for me to write. If you know that you are lying to me, I should go to sleep."

Shen Jinzhi took the document and flipped through the inside pages erratically: "At that time, I didn't have time to think at all. My sweetheart came to my door and wanted to live with me. How could I refuse?"

Cheng Mu's ears were slightly red, and the words "sweetheart" instantly dispelled the resentment in his heart.

Even though he knew that Shen Jinzhi was coaxing him, Cheng Mu would still fall every time.

He pursed the corner of his mouth with a secret smile, and said to Shen Jinzhi: "Otherwise... let's put the contract together with those tickets, as a souvenir."

Shen Jinzhi nodded: "OK."

Cheng Mu moved his gaze, picked up the bank card on the table and handed it to Shen Jinzhi: "I originally gave you this card, so you should keep it."

Shen Jinzhi's eyebrows were furrowed: "Where's the money in the card?"

When he misunderstood that Shen Jinzhi was going to sell the house to help Wan Weiduo tide over the difficulties, Cheng Mu put almost all his savings in this card.

Later, when Shen Jinzhi returned the card to him, he only took out a little, and there was still a lot of money left in the card.

Cheng Mu said truthfully: "I took out some to run the studio, and you can deal with the rest. It will only depreciate if I put it on."

Shen Jinzhi pinched the corner of the bank card: "I mean, what about the money I originally stored in it?"

"Ah?" Cheng Mu thought slowly, "I had already paid Qin Yi the compensation you gave him at that time, and then there would only be five yuan left in the card..."

The remaining card is ￥5.20.

At that time, Cheng Mu didn't know about his past with Shen Jinzhi, so he didn't think about it at all.

Cheng Mu raised his eyes dumbly, and met Shen Jinzhi's eyes that did not hide his love at all.

Say the deep buried "I love you" to him quietly and gently.

It turned out that Shen Jinzhi had already hinted at him.

In the quiet room, two shadows hug each other.

Gentle stroking came from the back of Cheng Muze's head, and Shen Jinzhi said with a gentle smile, "I haven't handed in my salary card yet, but you gave it to me first. Has anyone ever heard of it? A man will change when he has money." Bad, what if I do too?"

"Then what can we do?" Cheng Mu snorted softly, "I've dealt with it, can I still leave?"

Hearing Shen Jinzhi's laughter, Cheng Mu inadvertently glanced at a photo on the table.

He withdrew from Shen Jinzhi's arms slightly, and looked up at him: "Why did you take back the photo frame on your desk?"

Shen Jinzhi didn't look back, "Isn't it a holiday? I don't feel at ease if I stay in the office for a long time."

Cheng Mu nodded dully, and murmured, "Well... I have a question I've been wanting to ask for a long time."

He asked: "If I had persisted for a while back then, would you have changed your mind and given me a chance to take a good picture of you?"

Shen Jinzhi asked regretfully, "Isn't this a good shot? I have kept it for many years."

Cheng Mu patted Shen Jinzhi on the back in a hugging gesture: "Don't change the subject."

The arc of Shen Jinzhi's mouth retracted a little, and the color of his eyes also quietly deepened.

He replied sincerely: "Yes, and I will realize that you are special to me earlier."

·

Three days later, the two set off.

A lifeless airport waiting area, Cheng Mu enthusiastically took a map and introduced it to Shen Jinzhi.

"I have made a good strategy. Every year from October to February of the next year is the best time for shooting. The probability of aurora appearing will greatly increase. I have been to other cities to shoot aurora before, but I was not lucky. I can only regret it. Leave, I hope this time it won't be in vain."

Shen Jinzhi listened to him very seriously, with a smile on his lips all the time.

After the plane took off, Cheng Muze's excitement finally passed.

In a hypoxic environment, Cheng Mu quickly fell asleep.

In a drowsy state, he vaguely felt that the seal was removed from the top of his head, and a thick piece of clothing was put on his body.

After the plane landed, Shen Jinzhi woke up Cheng Muze who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder.

Realizing that he had already landed, Cheng Mu hurriedly turned off the flight mode, and only after confirming the reservation information did Cheng Mu relax.

He rubbed his eyes in a daze, and explained the itinerary to Shen Jinzhi.

Shen Jinzhi responded, gently pressing the sore spot on his shoulder and neck with his palm.

Coming out of the airport, they took a long drive to reach their destination.

Unlike the last time when the lights were brightly lit, this time only a few lights were lit in the courtyard, and there was peace and harmony everywhere.

After ringing the doorbell, the two waited quietly at the door.

"coming."

It is still familiar Chinese, with a bit of indescribable intimacy.

The man opened the door: "I knew you would come again, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes moved from Cheng Muze's cheeks to the tightly holding hands of the two.

He hesitated and asked: "It was last time..."

"Yeah." Cheng Mu nodded, "It's for him to go back."

The surprise in the man's eyes quickly turned into joy: "Congratulations."

He took Cheng Muze inside and chatted, "Is he also a photographer?"

Cheng Mu shook his head: "It's a university professor."

The man let out a low "huh": "Then you brought him here this time to see the aurora?"

Cheng Mu responded.

"Actually." The man said, "I can take you to find it."

As soon as the unexpected words fell, Cheng Mu and Shen Jinzhi looked at each other.

Shen Jinzhi asked gently: "According to what you mean, is there a condition?"

"Yeah." He pointed to Cheng Muze's camera bag, "I hope I can leave a photo of you together."

Shen Jinzhi asked politely: "Is it convenient to ask the reason?"

The homeowner is not shy about it: "My wife was hospitable during her lifetime. I want to keep more photos in this house. If she knows, she will be very happy."

Without much thought, the two agreed to the proposal.

It was three o'clock in the morning, long past the best viewing time for the aurora, and they agreed to go again tonight.

The days in the polar circle are extremely short in winter, and Cheng Mu hadn't finished enjoying the dawn before the sky darkened.

After dinner, the homeowner took them on a journey to find the aurora.

After a drive, the man took them out of the car.

He walked with ease, the hounds leaping forward ahead of him, leaving long depressions in the untouched snow.

The extreme cold in the polar regions should not be underestimated. Every time there was a cold wind, Shen Jinzhi would observe whether Cheng Muze's scarf was tied properly.

After a few times, Cheng Mu understood the purpose of his actions.

He hurriedly stopped Shen Jinzhi's hand: "Don't worry, I'm from the north anyway, and you should be more careful about keeping warm."

Shen Jinzhi took two steps, walked to the same pace as Cheng Muze, and slightly rolled up his cuffs.

Outside the bandage that he hadn't fully recovered, a fluffy wrist guard was protecting his warmth.

"Hasn't our Axia already prepared an extra layer of protection for me?"

In the snow-white sky, dark branches swayed in the wind, matching Cheng Muze's smile.

Ahead, the sound of hounds exploring the way stopped.

What followed was a reminder from the homeowner: "The aurora is often unstable, so you have to watch and watch."

Cheng Mu turned his head abruptly.

The scene in front of me seemed to appear in an instant, and the gorgeous light spread out, extending upwards from the horizon, like laying layers of floating veils in the air.

The bright green veils fluttered and swayed, sometimes overlapped and deepened, and sometimes spread and became shallower.

The purple pressed on the tail wing switches to blue or red irregularly, hiding the texture of jade.

That's the miracle of particle collisions.

More like, the wind is shining.

Cheng Mu thought he had seen many magnificent sights, but none of them shocked him more than the aurora in front of him.

The cold wind blew wantonly, but no one cared about the cold and pain.

"Remember to take a photo together." The man reminded.

He left without looking back, and kissed the diamond ring hanging around his neck: "Today I will show you the aurora."

Cheng Mu hurriedly came back to his senses and opened the accompanying camera bag.

He habitually handled the equipment in his hand according to his muscle memory, until he found Shen Jinzhi shrouded in the aurora.

Shen Jinzhi kept looking at him intently, not even taking his eyes off the scene in front of him.

Cheng Mu stopped, and walked slowly towards Shen Jinzhi.

"What's wrong?" Shen Jinzhi was a little puzzled.

Cheng Mu approached and took Shen Jinzhi's hand silently: "I seem to have more important things to do than taking pictures."

Understanding Cheng Muze's meaning, Shen Jinzhi lowered his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I vaguely feel that I have delayed the birth of a masterpiece."

Cheng Mu laughed out loud: "I can come back another day, but if this moment slips away, I won't be able to catch it."

He raised his head and looked at the unpredictable light and shadow in the sky: "It's so beautiful, it's as charming as a synthetic illusion."

"Make a wish."

Cheng Mu looked sideways unexpectedly: "I thought you would explain to me how the aurora is formed at this time."

Shen Jinzhi agreed seriously: "If you want to hear it, I can also talk about it."

Cheng Mu immediately turned his eyes away: "Forget it, I'd better make a wish."

He raised his hand interlocking with Shen Jinzhi's ten fingers, closed his eyes reverently and said, "Then make a wish for Shen Jinzhi's rest of his life to be mine."

"What has been realized doesn't count." Shen Jinzhi reminded, "Change to another one."

In an instant, the first thought that flashed through Cheng Muze's mind was to resume portrait photography.

He didn't want to show his thoughts too much, he just smiled pretending to think: "But this is my only wish."

"Okay, then I'll come."

Shen Jinzhi took his hand, and pressed his warm lips on the back of his hand: "I hope that A-Xia can really take a photo for me."

Cheng Mu stared blankly at Shen Jinzhi, watching the brilliance in his eyes swaying with the brilliant aurora.

It turned out that Shen Jinzhi took it all to heart.

Cheng Mu's eyes were moist, and the warm tears were swallowed by the cold wind as soon as they came out.

Shen Jinzhi raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't watch Aurora anymore?"

A gust of wind kicked up a few snowflakes, and the crystal particles were thrown down along the wind, sprinkled between the two of them.

Cheng Mu stretched out his hand, and lightly stroked Shen Jinzhi's deep eye sockets: "You also have aurora in your eyes."

Quiet is the most silent confession.

"Asha."

Shen Jinzhi called him in a low voice: "Do you remember the password at home?"

Cheng Mu nodded, "Well, it's the same password as that bank card."

"Do you want to guess what day it is?"

"That's the date?"

Cheng Mu was thinking, silently excluding birthdays and all holidays in his mind, and finally came up with a reluctant answer.

"Is... the day I graduated?"

"It's the day I reveal my heart to you."

Shen Jinzhi said: "I am also destined to belong to your life."
