Part 2
He was wearing a camel-colored sweater with a knitted bear on the collar. It was the same style as Tang Yue’s, but the bear’s eyes were crooked—clearly the work of a child no matter how you looked at it.
He was already handsome, with a kind of refined elegance within that handsomeness. Usually, his gentleness didn’t reach his eyes, always maintaining an appropriate social distance.
But in this setting, there was no need for distance. The hair that was usually combed back had fallen loose, making him look even softer.
Tang Yue asked, “Is it that funny?”
He recalled that year. “Didn’t you guys have a lot of fun playing too?”
Liu Xichao raised his glass. “Let’s have a toast. To celebrate that kind of happiness.”
Yao Lixin: “I heard that day the Captain accompanied Tang Yue fishing until past 2:00 AM.”
Jiang Shulu clinked his glass too. “Yes. When I lay in bed, my head was full of Xiao Yue’s ‘So amazing.’“
It was a complete brainwashing loop, yet a novel experience. It was also fresh because he had finally been praised by Tang Yue.
It gave Jiang Shulu insomnia for half the night; he only fell asleep when the sky began to brighten.
Because they had to drive today, everyone was drinking soft drinks. The four glasses clinked together with a crisp sound.
It was just like that year when they first gathered together, had their first meal, and clinked glasses.
That year, Tang Yue drank Wang Zai milk, while the other three adults drank beer.
Back then, Tang Yue was a little afraid of the future.
But the current future made Tang Yue unable to stop smiling.
Even when they parted ways, he was in a very good mood.
The weather was fine today. After the meal, Tang Mian wanted to go to the planetarium.
Jiang Shulu had reserved spots in advance, planning for the family to drive over and take a look.
The planetarium was bustling with people coming and going. Yao Xuanyu decided early on to go with Tang Mian, so the two kids paired up to look around.
Tang Yue and Jiang Shulu had normal hair colors, and since winter clothes were mostly similar in style, they blended into the crowd. People who weren’t familiar with them wouldn’t recognize them.
The audio guide was playing information about a meteorite shower that had fallen recently.
It stated that the meteorites hadn’t been transported to the exhibition hall yet, but they had scanned the contents and created a massive 3D model.
A child stared at it for a long time and asked the father beside him what the writing was.
The introduction on the side also labeled it as unknown.
Tang Yue happened to glance at it as he passed by.
With just one glance, he froze. Jiang Shulu was about to walk forward but was pulled back by Tang Yue.
Tang Yue was wearing a mask that covered the lower half of his face, but the eyes he revealed were already moist.
Jiang Shulu followed his gaze. It was a modeled chunk of meteorite, and on the right was the scanned version of the writing on it.
The AI female voice of the guide spoke rigidly, stating that the nature of the script had not yet been determined.
But Tang Yue understood it.
Jiang Shulu asked, “What’s wrong?”
Tang Yue: “That Tang Yue wrote this to me.”
He leaned against Jiang Shulu, whispering the translation of the text into his ear—
[Hello Xiao Yue, I am Da Yue, the one who was originally living just fine on Earth.
I don’t know if you’ve thought about me. I am currently active in the interstellar world using your identity ID, and I’m living quite well.
I can even send you a few shooting stars. If they arrive successfully, you should be able to see them.
Planet 9787 is too, too far from Earth. Our time flows differently.
You can think of it as a parallel universe, but I still found the data on Away.
We are both real, existing people.
You are dazzling and never ordinary. I am the same.
I wish you and Jiang Shulu happiness.
I will also live happily with the person I like.]
Tang Yue said, “He actually learned Interstellar Shorthand.”
Jiang Shulu: “What is that?”
Tang Yue: “It makes such a long paragraph look like only a small snippet.”
Jiang Shulu: “…”
That was too straightforward.
Tang Yue’s tears finally fell. He sniffled and leaned closer to Jiang Shulu.
Jiang Shulu naturally put his arm around him.
Tang Yue: “I’m so happy.”
Jiang Shulu: “You can rest assured now. I said he would definitely be living well.”
Tang Yue: “How did he know I got together with you?”
Jiang Shulu: “Well, you were certain that Liu Xichao and I would end up together, so why can’t he see this?”
Tang Yue thought to himself: Wait, does that mean he can see all the data of my activities?
Woo woo woo, that’s a bit embarrassing. Isn’t that a holographic live broadcast?
Jiang Shulu smiled. “Maybe he also heard that song you wrote for him.”
Tang Yue hummed twice. “Then I need that song to sell like crazy.”
Not long after coming out of the planetarium, Yao Xuanyu was picked up by his mother.
Tang Mian was a bit reluctant to part ways because winter break had started, and Yao Xuanyu might have to leave S City to return to his hometown with his parents.
Tang Yue asked, “Is there anywhere else Xiao Mie wants to go?”
Tang Mian: “I want to eat cotton candy.”
Tang Yue: “That’s really sweet.”
Tang Mian looked at Jiang Shulu beside them and asked, “Can I?”
Jiang Shulu looked at Tang Yue.
Tang Yue: “Alright, then we have to find a place that sells cotton candy.”
Tang Mian: “I know there’s some outside the skating rink!”
Tang Yue: “When have you been to the skating rink? I’ve never even been!”
Tang Mian reached out to Jiang Shulu, and the man picked him up.
Tang Mian: “Shulu-Papa took me when you were working.”
Tang Yue looked at Jiang Shulu. “Why didn’t Shulu-ge tell me?”
Jiang Shulu looked very innocent. “I told you. You were on the phone with Senior Sheng and just gave a grunt of acknowledgment.”
Tang Yue became the guilty one. He coughed once. “Okay, okay, let’s go quickly then. Can I skate? It shouldn’t be the mall kind, right?”
Jiang Shulu: “It’s just at the park entrance.”
That night, Jiang Shulu’s Weibo, which hadn’t been updated in a long time, posted a new status.
Ever since Tang Yue’s Weibo turned public, many fans had been searching for his alt account.
Tang Yue had hidden it well originally, but due to a like from Jiang Shulu’s main account, he painfully lost his cover.
Many people flocked to it, nearly dying from the sweetness.
It seemed like every day was a honeymoon phase.
@Away_JiangShulu: [Image] [Heart] My cotton candy.
The photo showed Tang Yue wearing ice skates, sitting by the roadside, sharing a super-large cotton candy with Tang Mian.
The shot wasn’t particularly clear, but the streetlights blurred into a sheet of light, like the moon being infinitely replicated, merging with the distant flow of traffic. It looked like stars captured from a distant sea of stars.
Someone posted a photo in the comments of encountering the family; the picture showed Jiang Shulu in the act of photographing Tang Yue.
You could tell the man taking the photo was in a good mood; his eyes were filled with utmost tenderness.
Not long after, Tang Yue commented with his main account: Why didn’t you eat the cotton candy?
Jiang Shulu replied: Just looking at you filled me up with sweetness.

Tang Yue and Jiang Shulu’s wedding wasn’t held publicly.
The invitees were all mutual friends and partners.
Perhaps because the couple didn’t demand secrecy, Yao Lixin, who prided himself on being from the “maiden’s family,” was the first to show off the invitation on Weibo.
The time and location were blurred out, but the signatures on the invitation were enough to make fans scream.
— Holy crap, is it all handwritten?
— Tang Yue’s signature and handwriting are way too different. Thinking of the autographs fans got when encountering them before… he actually had to make a draft.
— You can clearly tell Jiang Shulu seriously wrote the invitation words, and Tang Yue just added some vernacular agreement on the side.
— How is there someone urging marriage in the invitation itself! Your team should just hire a wedding planning team.
— Didn’t they? The guys next door at UL also posted invitations, saying they don’t need to pay gift money, they’re going up to sing their hearts out hahaha.
— Can’t you really let us see it too! I want to see! An overseas wedding! Xiao Mie is definitely the flower boy, right? I still remember him running with flowers at Tang Yue’s comeback concert.
— @Away_JiangShulu Captain, if you won’t go public, post a vlog after the wedding ahhh!
