glory [rebirth]

"Dami," Schwartz said.

"Huh?" Damian Lai refused to get up on Schwartz's bed, hugged his pillow, and raised his head lazily.

Schwartz opened the closet, took out a winter military coat and threw it on the bed, then got under the bed, pulled out a box, and said, "You, you can't come to my, here in the future."

Damian was shocked when he heard this, sat up, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Schwartz entered the password of the trolley case, folded the military uniform and put it in, and said, "I, I'm going to work in the capital, no, I don't know when I can come back, maybe half a year, maybe a year .”

Damian: "..."

"I haven't heard you say it before, transferred to work? It's..." He stopped abruptly. Schwartz's military rank was four ranks higher than his, and he worked in a classified functional department. He couldn't go Ask for these messages.

"Pro, a temporary arrangement." Schwartz said vaguely.

"No, but if you usually want to come and sleep, it's okay, I'll give you the key, and then you can apply for an exit and entry voucher, remember, remember to clean up for me." Schwartz said He took out his key and handed it to Damian.

"You're not here anymore, what am I doing here..." Damian muttered, but after thinking about it, he still took the key, and Schwartz left, and it would be good for him to help clean up.

Schwartz has his own house in the capital, where there are daily changes of clothes and daily necessities that can be bought after arrival. The climate in the capital is much colder than here, so he has to put the military uniform that he rarely wears here Coat to go.

"Rabbit." Damian sat on Schwartz's bed and called him.

"Huh?" Schwartz blinked.

"You..." Damian put his hands on his cheeks, hesitated to speak, and finally asked, "Will you come back halfway?"

"This, this... No, not necessarily." Schwartz shook his head, "It depends on the situation, it may come back, but, it may not..."

"Can I see you then?" Damian asked.

Schwartz: "Of course, as long as, as long as I'm not busy, it's okay."

Seeing Schwartz's indifferent attitude, Damian felt uncomfortable. After a while, he asked again, "Rabbit, will you miss me?"

"Yes, yes." Schwartz replied strangely, not understanding why Damian would ask this question.

"Oh..." Damian was a little happier after hearing this answer, but he didn't know what to say next, and watched Schwartz count his things in silence.

When Damian didn't take the initiative to ask questions, Schwartz rarely took the initiative to speak. He turned on the computer and began to sort out some data logs on it, so the room fell into a strange silence.

After a while, Schwartz suddenly stopped holding the mouse and looked at Damian in confusion.

Damian: "?"

Schwartz stammered, "D-Dami..."

"What's wrong?" Damian asked.

Schwartz looked a little nervous, scratched his head, and said unsurely: "You, why don't you teach me to twist tongues today?"

"..." Damian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Didn't you say you don't like it, then I won't tease you."

Schwartz: "..."

Schwartz closed the computer and said seriously: "But I, we have agreed, you teach, teach me tongue twisters, no, don't let me stutter, I don't, I don't think you are teasing me, you, you Why are you saying that all of a sudden..."

Damian didn't answer, licked his upper lip, thought for a while, changed the subject and said, "Since you want to learn so much, I'll tell you one."

Schwartz nodded: "Okay!"

Damian pondered for a while, and said very fast: "Can you not go, can you not go, can you not go..."

Schwartz: "..."

After Damian read in a cheerful tone for a while, seeing that Schwartz didn't respond, he laughed dryly and stopped knowingly.

Schwartz looked at him for a long time, then suddenly said, "Is this also called tongue twister?"

Damian said nothing, just stared at the ground.

"And you, you know that I, only went to the capital because of work, it's impossible not, not to go..."

"You're not happy." Schwartz said again.

"Yes?" Damian replied casually.

Schwartz nodded affirmatively, then stood up, walked to sit next to Damian: "Well... I, I can feel it... What's wrong with you?"

Damian: "..."

Damian didn't know whether to say that Schwartz was sensitive or that he was slow, so he sighed and said, "You're leaving, and you may not be back for a year, how can I be happy? And you..." The words behind Mian felt that it was not appropriate, so he stopped in the middle of speaking.

"But, but, I used to often go to other places because of work, this, this is nothing..." Schwartz still didn't understand.

Damian shook his head speechlessly, leaned slightly, held Schwartz's face, and rubbed it for a while like playing with a child.

Schwartz's face was deformed by his squeeze, and the flesh on his cheeks was piled up in the middle. He was very uncomfortable, and he struggled: "What are you doing..."

Damian smiled and patted his face lightly: "I like you."

"Hmm..." Schwartz struggled to squeeze Damian's wrists, moving them away from his face, "I, I know, you told me..."

"Hey... Rabbit, I really like you very much."

For some reason, in such a scene, after hearing this sentence again, Schwartz felt a little hot on his face.

"Because I like you, I feel that this period of time is very long and difficult. I want to be with you all the time. So you suddenly told me that you are going to leave for a year, maybe not When I come back, I feel a little... I know that your work may not be able to communicate with the outside world for a long period of time." Damian continued, "But I feel that you don't seem to care much about it. .”

"I..." Schwartz was speechless, and Damian guessed right.

For him, a year would pass quickly if he devoted himself fully to his work, and he would be with Mu Qingtong in the capital, so he would not feel bored at all.What's more, if it weren't for special circumstances, he could still keep in touch with Damian often, but he couldn't meet each other.

So he had no idea why Damian was so upset.

He said he likes himself...

Schwartz's blank expression made Damian very helpless. He continued: "I like you, I want to fall in love with you, marry you, and live with you for the rest of my life. You suddenly told me that you want Being away for a year, I'm not sure who you're going to meet, what's going to happen there."

Damian tentatively grabbed Schwartz's hand. Schwartz was obviously frightened, but he didn't withdraw his hand and let Damian grab it.

"I'm scared, Schwartz," Damian said.

"H, what are you afraid of..." Schwartz couldn't understand.

"For so long, you have never responded to me, and I am not worried, because you are by my side, I can see you every day, and I don't have to worry about you suddenly falling in love with someone else. I am afraid to wait a year Then you come back and tell me that you've fallen in love with someone else, and you're even going to bring that person to the military academy...I can't stand this kind of thing..."

"No, it won't!" Schwartz retorted immediately, "How could I do that kind of thing!"

"Well, I know you won't." Damian wanted to raise his arm, but he retracted it before halfway through.

Schwartz's size is too small compared to his, and he will appear startled when he is emotional, just like a real small animal, Damian always has a kind of rubbing him in his arms in the impulse.

But it was bound to scare him.

"Although I, I am already 27, but, I have never considered talking about dating."

This question is very strange to Schwartz. In his life, there are only studies and exams, which later turned into competitions and work. His time is full, and the friends and colleagues around him, everyone takes good care of him. He never felt that anything was missing around him.

"So no matter how I feel about you, I still can't get your response." Damian concluded.

"..."

Schwartz didn't know how to answer, his mind went blank only on rare occasions.Damian looked very sad. He racked his brains and kept thinking about how to comfort him, but he had no idea at all.

"I'm sorry..." Schwartz bowed his head.

"No, no." Damian hurriedly said, "It's not your problem, it's my problem, you know? Feelings are a very subjective thing, even if I like you, you still have the right to choose not to respond to me. I I don't insist on any results, I just..."

"You're just sad." Schwartz said this very slowly in order not to stutter.

"Yeah." Damian nodded, "Although I understand the truth, I can't control my emotions."

"I know……"

The two were awkwardly silent for a while. Damian was sweating a little while holding Schwartz's hand, and Schwartz moved uncomfortably.

"Sorry." Damian said and immediately let go of Schwartz, but his hand was frozen in the air, and it was obvious that he didn't want to let go.

The back of his sweat-soaked hands was slightly chilled when exposed to the air. Seeing Damian's appearance, Schwartz was suddenly terrified. He bit his lower lip, as if he was thinking about something.

"Dami..." Schwartz said.

"Ok?"

"I, I was thinking..." Schwartz's face turned red suddenly, and he felt very embarrassed by the following words.

"What are you thinking?" Damian asked patiently.

"Hmm..." Schwartz looked very nervous, and kept making small movements with his hands, picking at the sheets, "I, I, I was thinking, after I returned from, from the capital..."

Damian waited for his next words.

"I, we can try when we come back..." Schwartz didn't dare to look into Damian's eyes, the blush on his face spread to the tips of his ears and neck, "Try, fall in love..."

Damian: "..."

Damian thought he heard it wrong, he couldn't believe it: "You mean..."

"You, you have to let me do, prepare for a period of time... I, I never thought about this, this kind of thing..." Schwartz's face was so red that it was about to bleed, he hung his head and kept looking at on his toes.

Damian felt his whole body fly at that moment, excitedly but cautiously held Schwartz's face again, and said, "Do you really want to promise me? I don't want to force you, really, If you don't want to..."

"No, no... I think you, you are fine..."

"Hmm..." After Schwartz finished speaking, he subconsciously wanted to stay away from Damian a little bit, this strange embarrassment made him a little overwhelmed.

Damian grinned uncontrollably, showing his white teeth, and smiled brilliantly. What happened that night was like a dream to him, and his happiness was so unreal.

"Rabbit." Damian's heart was beating extremely fast, he swallowed, and called Schwartz.

Schwartz kept his eyelids down, not daring to look at him, and nodded to show that he heard what he said.

"Well... can I... can I pay in advance? You are leaving..."

"Advance what?" Schwartz didn't understand.

"like this……"

Damian leaned over and kissed Schwartz on the forehead.

Schwartz: "..."

Seeing that Schwartz didn't object, Damian resisted the urge to dance, bowed his head immediately, and kissed his face.

Schwartz: "!!!"

Schwartz shoved Damian away, yelling, "Enough is enough!"

Damian laughed loudly, reached out and hugged Schwartz, rubbed his head, and said softly: "Okay, okay, no more kisses, no more kisses."
