Chapter 45: A Sudden Confession

  The Ferris wheel slowly rises until it reaches the highest point...

  "She... must be having a great time up there..." Kuroku Hyousuke gazed at the sky, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

  "Are you talking about your mother?" I looked at Hei Qiangyun's face.

  "Ah..." Hei Gong Yun Sheng smiled, he slowly stretched out his hand and pointed to the brightest star in the sky, "You know? When I'm feeling down, I'll come here..."

  "Because mom said that after people die, they become stars in the sky accompanying their most important person..."

  "Since mom passed away, there is an extra star in the sky. The brightest one must be her, because she was so perfect, and it must be her watching me from above..."

  "I think, mom must be lonely in heaven..."

  "Because there were so many stars accompanying her..."

  "Hei Gong Yun Sheng..." It turns out he also had so many secrets in his heart...

  I feel a sourness in my heart, and my eyes are moist. I touched them, and there was actually a sparkling tear drop.

  "You promised me you'd call me Sheng, how come you're back to this now?" Hei Gong Yun Sheng looked at me with a good-natured smile.

  "I forgot for a moment..." I scratched my head in embarrassment, "Sen..."

  "Hmm?" Hei Gong Yun Sheng stared at me with his dark eyes, unwavering for a moment.

  "How did your mother pass away?" I asked him in confusion.

  The expression of Hei Gongyun's face suddenly changed and returned to its usual cold demeanor.

  "Uh... Hei Qiu Yun Sheng, oh no, Sheng... I really didn't mean to bring up your sad past, I was just curious how someone as perfect as your mom passed away..." I started to get a bit incoherent.

  I'm so angry with myself for asking about his sad past...

  Curiosity kills...~~~~(>_<)

  "Nothing, I don't blame you..." Hei Gong Yun Sheng said expressionlessly, "Let me tell you a story..."

  "Once upon a time, there was a little boy who lived happily with his father and mother. Every day was fulfilling... but suddenly... a woman burst into their lives, the little boy's father couldn't resist her charm, and he started to like this woman, no longer caring about the little boy's mother, until one day..." Hei Qiangyun Sheng paused here.

  "This vicious woman, in order to get the little boy's father... haha, actually it's not even worth saying that she wanted to become the chairman's wife, actually set a big fire at the little boy's home... The villa was on fire, the little boy's mother struggled to carry her child out of the villa, but then returned to that already burning house, refusing to come out until she was burned alive..." Hei Qiang Yun Sheng said, by the end he was already painfully holding his head.

  "I think, without me telling you, you should also know who this little boy is?"

  "Saint..." I couldn't say anything else, and unexpectedly, Kuroku's childhood was like this...

  "Hold me for a moment..." Hei Gong Yun Sheng suddenly hugged me, my body stiffened, "Don't push me away, just hold me for a moment..." Hei Gong Yun Sheng muttered to himself.

  Looking at his painful appearance now, I involuntarily stretched out my hand and gently wrapped it around his back...

  "Don't cry..." I awkwardly stretched out my other hand and gently patted his back, coaxing him like a child.

  "Cheng Cai En..." Hei Gong Yun Sheng suddenly spoke in a low tone.

  "I've suddenly found myself liking you... Let's go out together..."
