Chapter 1398: That Is Love

Gu Juexi passed the lighter he was holding to Ye Yuwei and gestured for her to light up the rest of the fireworks.

She pointed at herself in disbelief. He nodded and she slowly reached out to take the lighter, then looked down at the bunch of fireworks.

She grasped her hand, mind foggy as excitement filled her. It felt like the time she had watched someone else playing with fireworks, and when the fireworks had sparked a blazing fire.

Ever since that day, she couldn’t bring herself to play with fireworks anymore.

She loved fireworks but they were also her nightmare.

She looked at Gu Juexi. He hugged her from behind and held her hand, helping her light up the wick that was sticking out of the fireworks.

Boom!

The fireworks soared high into the sky before exploding into brightly colored sparks.

Ye Yuwei looked up and watched the fireworks, feeling like she was seeing the old orphanage again.

‘Matron, if you’re looking down on me, please know that I am… very happy.’

After lighting up the first one, she slowly gained the confidence to light up the rest. The two of them sat there on the glass roof watching the fireworks light up the already beautiful sky.

She curled into his embrace as he wrapped his hands around her.

This was her first night as a married woman. She wanted to remember this moment forever.

She was at an important moment in her life, facing her biggest fear and disappointment, but she also loved fireworks the most. It was because of fireworks that she had lost everything she once had, but it was also because of the fireworks that she was able to meet him.

From that incident, he became the most honorable soldier and because of that fire, he got to know her.

“Do you know what I regretted the most?” Ye Yuwei asked while leaning back into his chest. She turned her head to look at Gu Juexi.

“Not telling me your name when I was carrying you out of the fire?” Gu Juexi looked clueless as he answered Ye Yuwei.

Ye Yuwei blinked at him and he laughed. “You’re really not the mysterious kind, huh?”

Gu Juexi chuckled at the angry Ye Yuwei who was about to stand up, then quickly pulled her back into his embrace and said, “Okay, we’ll try again. So what was it that you regretted the most?”

Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes, but it was difficult to stay angry at this man who somehow seemed to have a heart now.

Compared to his previous self who had zero empathy and no idea of how to work with others, he had changed a lot. Today, he was willing to follow her lead.

“But now, I don’t feel any regret. If those things didn’t happen, I don’t think I would have… Fallen in love with you.”

He looked down at his wife. The fireworks were reflected in her large eyes that gazed up at him with tenderness and love.

His body moved without him knowing and he lowered his head to kiss her forehead, slowly trailing kisses down to her lips. He should be the one who was thankful.

He should thank her for not letting him go when he was still naïve to his feelings. Thank her for giving him a chance to love her properly.

Ye Yuwei wrapped her arms around his shoulder, allowing him to kiss her more deeply.

On the journey of love, they had started off fresh, and that path had taught them about love little by little. Fortunately, they had both persevered bravely despite the many obstacles.

The final firework went off and exploded in the sky, forming a huge image of sparks that lit up the entire night sky. It was like…

Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi were looking at each other lovingly.

It was like the light that had lit up their lives.

Gu Juexi hugged Ye Yuwei and whispered in her ear as the sparks faded into nothingness.

Ye Yuwei knew that this was his love, the love that he was willing to confess out loud.
