Chapter 98：

The hard ring slowly passed over the warm skin until it stopped at the end of the finger. Tao Zhiyue still remembered the tingling sensation when it rubbed against the fingertips.

He was a little dazed.

The sound of the siren has gone away, everything has returned to tranquility, and the breath of the distance remains in the wind.

The snow on the rails bloomed like flowers.

The illusion is gone, and the whole body is the real world.

He whispered, "It's a ring."

Huo Ran responded, "It's a ring."

His hand was still in Tao Zhiyue's pocket, so Tao Zhiyue touched his knuckles with his ring-wearing hand.

"Why didn't you wear it?" Tao Zhi asked curiously, "I still want to touch the pattern of the ring."

"I put mine in the pocket on the other side, waiting for you to wear it for me." Huo Ran added, "I chose a special shape. If you customize it, you will choose it too."

The coat pocket was bulging, but Tao Zhiyue didn't want to take it out.

He was nostalgic for the overflowing warmth here, and wanted the first ring in his life to be surrounded by the breath of two people for a long time.

Tao Zhiyue could imagine the appearance of the ring where the fingers were intertwined, shining brightly in the secret darkness.

He never thought that Huo Ran would give the ring, because they never discussed the marriage that is not yet legal in China.

For Tao Zhiyue, his best vision for the future is to hope that the days in front of him can continue to live like this.

He won't think about those imaginary rules, or the inevitable fading of feelings, which have nothing to do with the present.

Huo Ran seemed to see what he was thinking, and said softly: "Do you want to guess its shape?"

"Any hints?"

"It's about how we met, and about everything we've been through together."

The more Tao Zhi thought about it, he quickly laughed: "The hint is very obvious."

He had avoided Huo Ran for a long time, and still met each other after going round and round.

Their experiences were collected on a blank puzzle manual, and gradually drawn into a unique world map, which is the overlap of the world that only the two of them know.

"It's a Möbius ring."

Huo Ran lightly touched his ring: "Very smart, you got the answer right."

Tao Zhi is an outsider who comes suddenly, falls on this Mobius ring, no matter where he goes, he will eventually meet Huo Ran.

Later, the two worlds merged in their lives, and there was no longer a front and a back, and the two ends buckled together to become an infinite Möbius ring with only one side.

"I like the shape."

After completing its appearance with magnificent imagination, Tao Zhiyue stretched out his hand and looked at the ring reflected in the starry sky.

Very elegant color, simple cross band, inlaid with two small diamonds.

"It's beautiful." Tao Zhiyue couldn't help sighing, "Are they two identical?"

"Yes, there are only these two in the whole world." Huo Ran was vaguely proud, "There is also a small design, you can only see it when you take off the ring."

"Is it the letters of our names engraved on the inside?"

Huo Ran didn't answer, just smiled and watched him slowly move the ring up.

There is no need to take it off completely, Tao Zhiyue has already seen that special mark.

On the other side of the palm, there is a shallow trace of love on the fingertips, the apex of the heart is round, very cute.

Huo Ran stood in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and looked seriously at the heart in his palm.

"From my point of view, it's a peach. From your point of view, it's a heart."

"When you usually wear a ring, no one knows that there is a heart hidden inside. But every time you take it off, you can see this little seal."

The evening breeze is clear and gentle.

"It's my heart that stays there."

Listening to Huo Ran's whispers, Tao Zhi looked at the little peach heart in his hand quietly, as if his heart was filled with many soft emotions.

In the boundless wilderness, in the too grand world, he has another heart to accompany him anytime and anywhere.

Marriage is a contractual relationship defined by people, and there are always many additional restrictions beyond the relationship itself.

And this ring is Huo Ran's definition of the future. It is a unique contract. In the shape formed by melting and casting the past and present life, he looks forward to the eternity that is only related to them.

So Tao Zhiyue put the ring back on and looked up at him.

"I'll always wear it."

He accepted the contract without hesitation.

Then exchange a long kiss.

A Mobius ring with a peach heart engraved on the inside, and two broken diamonds shining with light on the ring face.

The only and endless love in the world.

And they who are always in love.

The stars above the head are brilliant, the untouchable universe is vast, and the breath close at hand is hot and light.

All the huge stars and tiny dust, all the beauty and ordinary, white snow and night, prosperity and tranquility, are all reflected in the sparkling river water, rushing towards the future without stopping.

Together they are witnessing.

Everything in the world falls into the clear eyes, like dreams and illusions.

The past night gradually condensed on the paper, and Tao Zhiyu focused on holding the brush, carefully retaining the memory of this night.

Brushes and paint pots were scattered on the table, and the water in the small bucket had been dyed gray. He sat in front of the drawing board, solemnly pointing out the colors of the stars.

On Sunday afternoon, the TV in the living room was turned on, and the volume was turned to medium-low, which was the commercial time.

The washing machine on the balcony had just finished working, Huo Ran opened the lid, took out the washed clothes, then carefully shook out the wrinkles one by one, and hung them on the drying rack.

The clean scent of laundry detergent spread in the air, and the sun shone down, making the white shirt very transparent.

After finishing the work, Huo Ran returned to the room to report with satisfaction, looking at the neatly dried clothes.

"It won't wrinkle after drying this time, I promise."

Tao Zhiyue looked up at the balcony, and commented: "It's a perfect score."

"Have you finished painting? Do you need to change the water for you?" Huo Ran couldn't help leaning over, "It's very beautiful."

"The painting is finished, but I'm not very familiar with gouache, so I can change the painting method next time."

Tao Zhiyue looked at the drawing paper at hand: "In this way, the certificate can be changed frequently, and every time there will be different ideas and ideas, all the details can be remembered and refurbished, and new moods can be continuously added."

"Certificate?"

Tao Zhiyue nodded: "It's the most special certificate, I drew it myself."

Huo Ran quickly realized and laughed: "Shouldn't the certificate be published?"

"..." Tao Zhiyue imagined for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "It's not impossible."

A news story that Huo Ran carefully crafted for half an hour is fresh out of the oven.

[Dynamic] Tao: Christmas Eve/Snowflakes [Picture]

Tao Zhiyue couldn't help but marvel: "Why can you think about it for half an hour with these three words and an expression?"

"You don't understand, it's called leaving blank." Huo Ran was serious, "This is my recent experience."

"What experience?"

A few minutes later, watching the reactions of colleagues and friends, Tao Zhiyue understood what he meant.

Obviously, it was an experience of sprinkling dog food invisibly.

[Comment] I finally finished drawing tm: sofa! Tao Tao tried gouache, the needle does not poke the needle or poke it!

[Comment] I finally finished drawing tm: no, after a closer look... this circle seems to be not just a stroke, but a ring, so what happened on Christmas Eve! No matter how delicious the dog food is, I will do it first as a respect!

[Comment] Xiao Huang Xiao Huang replied to me that tm finally finished the painting: Why did I say it, I could have pretended not to see it, but now I have to get hurt.

[Comment] Xiao Huang Xiao Huang: Congratulations, I want to eat sugar (referring to sugar in the physical sense).

[Comment] Yuan Shiwen: As expected of you, the way of showing affection is always so high-end. What a Christmas Eve when no one survived, remember to take the time to help me think about how to appease the players who can't play the hidden line.

[Comment] Sister: Ahhh, it looks so good! I stayed in the scarf for one night and didn't sleep much, so I simply changed to an early flight hehehe, just arrived! See you at home in an hour!

[Comment] Sister:! ! Is it hallucination? Do I see the shape of a ring? ! Help, I just healed a little bit from the serious injury I suffered last night! Don't come here!

[Comment] Sister: Woohoo or let me hear the details, I can't do anything...

After midnight on Christmas Eve, the hidden mainline entrance in the easter egg of the game is closed on time. After that, players who meet the continuous shooting conditions of 12 days, no matter how they click, can no longer trigger that wonderful question, and can only see the retracted The shy peach head typing on the keyboard behind the computer.

This instead proved the authenticity of the scarf that Huo Sihan sent. Countless players who missed the easter egg sighed, and immediately put this scarf on the hot search.

There are also some witty users who remembered Huo Ran's reply more than ten days ago, the smiling face that said everything without saying anything.

[A mung bean popsicle: I have a mysterious intuition that this game has something to do with Mr. Huo's mysterious boyfriend...]

[Huo Ran V replied with a mung bean popsicle: ^-^]

This time he modified the smiling face a little to make it more in line with his mood.

[Huo Ran V replied with a mung bean popsicle: ^o^]

…

After spending Christmas with Huo Sihan for the three of them, Monday came as scheduled, life returned to calm, and Tao Zhiyue went to work as usual.

The only difference is the ring on the ring finger.

Walking into the company, everyone's eyes fell on his hands in unison, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Jiang Ye, who was the calmest, was about to go upstairs with a weeping leaf banyan in his arms. He happened to see him and congratulated him, "Congratulations."

Mr. Banyan has replaced it with a new flowerpot, the leaves are soft and bright green, and it seems to be very happy.

Tao Zhiyue smiled and said, "The new flowerpot is very nice."

"Yeah." Jiang Ye smiled, "The game was a success, everything is fine."

all is well.

Except for a certain quack who is keen to get through all the endings of the game.

As soon as Tao Zhiyue turned on the computer, he received a bombardment of messages from Guan Yudong who was sitting across from him.

[It's an official, not a croak: I just issued a scarf on the day of the public beta! As a result, the operation thought that this Christmas gift was also made by me, and I couldn't bear it anymore, because there were obviously three programmers! ]

[It's an official, not a croak: I can't hold it anymore! Tao Tao! Do you know what I mean! ! ]

[It's an official, not a quack: Unless you let me play with this hidden line too, don't force me to kneel down and beg you! ]

[It's an official, not a quack: Do you know that human beings' desire for limited editions and out-of-prints is engraved in genes! Ahhhhh! ]

[Tao: Eggy in a daze.jpg]

[Tao: Why don't you just talk and chat? You are all very quiet today. ]

[It's an official, not a croak: Because I'm afraid that if I speak, sour tears will stay from the corner of my mouth. ]

[It's an official, not a croak: I don't have a drop of blood in my veins, it's all vinegar. ]

[It's an official, not a croak: So let me have fun, even let me take a look at the ending screen, woo woo woo woo. ]

[Tao: I can ask him about the latter request. ]

[Tao: I came back after asking, he asked me to tell you...]

Tao Zhiyue smiled and sent out this pun emoji package made by Huo Ran himself.
