Jin Nian did not know that there were so many tricks to a kiss. The unprecedented feeling made her feel both curious and panicked. She felt like she was on a roller coaster, soaring up into the sky and then falling rapidly. Every time Lu An got close to her, she felt her body burn.

Jin Nian was limp as she hid in Lu An’s arms. Suddenly, she saw him wearing a red string. Lu An was on the phone with the designated driver. The watch on his hand naturally slid down a little. The red string that was originally hidden under the watch strap was now s.h.i.+ning brightly. Jin Nian was startled, feeling that the red string looked familiar.

Lu An hung up the phone and brought Jin Nian to the backseat. The back seat was narrower than the front, but Jin Nian’s eyes were fixed on the thin red string.

The designated driver found them, and after they were settled, he got into the driver’s seat where Lu An gave him the destination of the trip.

“This red string, is it the one 1 gave you before?” Jin Nian asked tentatively.

Lu An glanced at his wrist and said nonchalantly, “I don’t remember.”

In order to verify her guess, Jin Nian held Lu An’s wrist and looked at the red string from head to toe. It was obvious that he had been wearing it for a long time. The color of the string was no longer as bright as before.

Jin Nian was born in the same year as Lu An and had the same zodiac sign. In the year of her birth, Jin Nian had heard from somewhere that wearing a red string could ward off evil spirits, so she excitedly made one for herself. When Lu An saw it, he asked her for one too, so she gave him the same one. However, the one on Jin Nian’s wrist had long been lost.

This kind of red string was easy to make, it did not require any special skills, so it was not worth a lot.

One day six years ago, Lu An, who had not contacted Jin Nian for a long time, suddenly called her. He told her that the red string she gave him had faded and asked her to give him another one. Jin Nian did not think much about it and weaved a new one for him.

However, Jin Nian did not expect that on the day Lu An received the red string, he boarded a plane to Toronto. The departure hall was packed with Lu An’s friends. It did not seem to make a difference whether Jin Nian came or not.

Jin Nian was the last one to know that Lu An was leaving, and she was also the one who was the most out of sorts that day. She was dizzy the entire time and was a little confused. Until Lu An walked through the crowd and reached out his hand: “Where is my red string?”

Jin Nian quickly took out the red string from her pocket and handed it over. When Lu An took the red string, he just put it in his pocket, looking indifferent. Jin Nian thought that she had seen wrongly. She had never thought that Lu An would keep this ordinary red string up until now.

She leaned closer and looked up at his handsome face. She asked curiously: “You haven’t been carrying it with you all these years, have you?”

Lu An glanced at her and naturally reached out to ruffle her hair. Jin Nian was not sure if Lu An was drunk or not, so she grabbed his hand and bit it hard.

He hooked his arms around her slender neck and pulled her into his embrace without any hesitation. At the same time, he rolled down half of the car window. The cool night breeze blew in, taking away the heat on his body and hiding his reddened earlobes.

There were a lot of things that Lu An could not say. For example, this red string that had long been forgotten by Jin Nian. How could he admit that he had always treated it as his amulet?

The red string from before had not faded. Lu An had placed it beside the sink when he was taking a shower, and it had been thrown away as trash by the cleaning servants. Lu An dismissed the servant and rummaged through all the trash cans in the house, but he still could not find it.

When he was in Toronto, he lost a bet to his friend. His friend wanted an item from him, and he chose this red string that looked like it had a story to it. He refused and took off the limited edition necklace around his neck and gave it to him. At that time, he drank almost every day and was rarely sober.

Far away in a foreign country, the only way to see her was to dream. When he was drunk, he muttered, “Niannian made it, I’ll wear it for my whole life.”

This scene was secretly photographed by a friend. The next day, after waking up from his drunken stupor, he sent it to Lu An to show him how useless he was.

At that time, he had missed her so much that he was almost crazy, but he could only see her in his dreams with the help of alcohol.

There was a lyrical song playing in the car. Jin Nian liked the tune. She was a little tired, so she leaned against Lu An and listened quietly.

“Fortunately, we never have to explain, it does not matter what the relations.h.i.+p between us is.”

“You have a way to catch me. You will be there wherever I fly.”

“Companion is what we are good at…”

“I can’t live without you.”

Jin Nian fell asleep while listening to the song. Strangely, even though they had not seen each other for six years, Jin Nian could always let down her guard easily when she was by Lu An’s side. She did not have to think too much about anything..
