A content smile appeared on Jiang Yuyan's lips after hearing it. She knew the kind of possessiveness both men in her life had towards her but it was delightful to hear him say it and put her happiness first.
"If Lu Qiang was here, I am sure he would have agreed to it," Jiang Yuyan said to which Lu Lijun nodded. She knew they would have been happy together instead of wasting their life on staying away and yearning for each other.
"Hmm, I believe so as well," Lu Feng said as he knew Lu Qiang, "He wouldn't have minded sacrificing his feelings and letting you two live together happily. But If living together with you two was what had made you happy, he would have agreed to it as well. His love for you two was beyond one can imagine."
Jiang Yang also agreed to it, "True, he would have done anything that would have made you two happy whether sacrificing or accepting you two together. And I know, losing Yuyan would have tormented him even if he had sacrificed on his own just like it would have been the same for you Lu Lijun if he had to sacrifice her. So living together is the best decision. when there is love and understanding, it won't be difficult."
Everyone found it was the better way. Jake and Noah were glad that they didn't have to see their friend hurt anymore about what they were scared of a while ago.
An Tian who was satisfied with the answer, looked at Jiang Yuyan, "You never fail to surprise me, little girl. There is nothing bad in living with two men when you love them equally. I shall start considering that you have grown up now."
"Don't make me beat you, An Tian," she warned as her moist eyes glared at him.
An Tian smiled teasingly, "Okay, I'll stop. You managed to scare me enough." He continued, "So who will ask the next question?"
Lu Lijun looked at his two friends, "I want to ask them both one question."
The two looked at Lu Lijun, to know what his friend had to ask them.
"How much time it will take for you two to accept each other even after knowing you two feel the same. So many years passed by, how long do I have to see you two like this?"
"It will be the same forever," Noah replied blatantly.
Jake was calm and looked at Lu Lijun, "I will try to make everything right."
Noah scoffed, "I think the things how they are now are the right way."
"We will make them perfect then," Jake countered calmly.
He knew what happened that day years back, Noah will not forgive him for it so easily. It was already a relief that he didn't break their friendship and didn't try to be away from him.
"Okay, Jake, Noah and Lu Feng left from asking the question," An Tian said and looked at Lu Feng, "I am sure you have something to ask."
Lu Feng looked at Jiang Yang, "If Nicky is back, will you start over?"
Jiang Yang nodded, "I want to but....."
"Keep that but away. I know what you want to say. Just answer me if she comes to you then what?"
"I will," Jiang Yang replied.
"Jake," An Tian called for him.
Jake looked at Noah, "Will you ever forgive me?"
"I have already forgiven or we wouldn't have been friends. But don't expect anything more than that. Even if I accept you, what happened that day will never let me be happy with you because on the back of my head, that day is imprinted forever," Noah answered.
"I will try to cover that imprint with the new memories," Jake said.
"Won't happen," Noah countered.
"Noah, who do you want to ask a question?" An Tian interrupted before the two jumped into an argument.
Noah looked at Jake, "What kind of criminal record do you have?"
Jake turned silent while others looked at him. Few were aware of it while few didn't and it shocked him.
"I hurt someone and was punished for that," Jake answered.
Noah scoffed, "Are you kidding me? Is that the answer? Ofcourse one gets punished for doing something wrong and...."
"What I did was not wrong and if I go back in time, I will do the same," Jake countered, his eyes cold and anger briefing inside him.
"Who did you hurt?" Noah asked.
"Only one question was allowed to ask," Jake replied and looked at his brother.
"Jake is right. Only once you could ask anyone. You should have used this chance carefully, Noah," An Tian said.
Noah frowned, "I will find out on my own."
"If you don't care for me, then why do you care if I had committed a crime," Jake asked.
"Because it's related to me. I have the right to know it," Noah replied while Jake kept quiet.
"Okay. So here I finish our game. If you have any more questions, you can ask later in person," An Tian once again stopped these two from arguing.
"No one asked you anything yet, An Tian," Lu Feng commented. "It can not be finished just like this."
"Well, because there is nothing to ask about me and rules are rules. You can ask only once and only one person," An Tian replied with a wide grin on his lips.
"You wait, there will be a day when we all will ask you questions and you will have no answers to it. You will be in deep shit that day," Lu Feng warned.
"That day won't come. I don't keep my life complicated like you all. No love, no pain and no complications in life. As simple as that," An Tian replied.
"I pray on all of our behalfs that one day you will get all that- love, pain, complications in life and everything like a normal human."
"Keep praying, I will wait for that day which won't ever come," An Tian replied confidently.
