Chapter 518: Jing's answers

Yukito smiled. “My dream is really simple. But for that, you need to understand why I became a model. It’s because I want to walk on the stage wearing my lover’s creation.”

Jing blinked his eyes.

Creation?

Everybody else was just as confused.

Yukito said, “You must be wondering what lover and what creation. Now, I will tell you about my special someone I mentioned in my interview because he is none other than the person I love the most. He is very, very important in my life.”

Jing’s heart shook with his words.

Is he going to announce about us on the stage? In front of everyone?

Some people in the audience something in his words.

“Hey, wait. Did Yukito say ‘he’?”

“Yes, yes, he definitely used he!”

“Omg omg! Does that mean Yukito doesn’t have a girlfriend but a…boyfriend?”

Yukito continued. “My lover is a hard-working and the best fashion designer in China whose reputation also stretches worldwide. He makes the best clothes in the whole world. His hands have magic that flows into his work the moment he holds the threads and needle. I am really proud of my lover. But I was a nobody. And that’s why to stand beside him holding my head high; I had to make a name for myself.”

“That’s when I got my dream. It was because of a simple conversation we had one day. He asked me, ‘Hey Yukito! Wouldn’t it be so awesome that you walk on the stage wearing the clothes I made? That would be so freaking cool. I will make the clothes, and my lover will show them to the world! We will be such an awesome team!'”

Jing almost stumbled from his seat. He didn’t even realize when his eyes turned wet.

He remembered that day. He was just showing one of his newest creations to Yukito. He asked him to wear it for him to show how it looked. And he was mesmerized when he saw Yukito in the clothes.

That’s when he got this idea, and he just blurted it out as a simple comment. Even he thought that it was so stupid.

But he had no idea that…

Yukito…you-you took those words seriously? You made that your dream? It was just a stupid wish…

Yukito said, “That’s why I became a model because one day I wanted to fulfill his wish. I worked hard to become the top model, and participating in the Platinum Age Fashion Show was my chance to prove myself and the world to recognize me for my talent. I want to become someone worthy who could stand beside such an awesome man.”

“That is my dream. To become the best model who can wear his creations and walk on the stage with pride.”

Silence.

Everybody was so moved by his words that nobody could speak anything for a moment.

“And this is the moment where I would like everyone to know about him. My lover, my special someone, and the most special person in my life – Liu Jing.”

“WAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”

“Omg!! Liu Jing!”

“Liu Jing and Yukito are a couple!??”

“Now it all makes sense!”

“I cannot believe Yukito came this far because of that conversation.”

One of the fans almost cried. “That just shows how much he loves and values him. I mean, he made it his dream! Who does that?”

“Liu Jing is also present here in the hall! I saw him.”

“He came here to root for his lover!”

“YUKITOOOOOOOOO YOU ARE SO AWESOME!”

Jing was rooted to the spot for a long time.

I hate that you are a model!

Why did you join this modeling industry in the first place!?

Tears streamed down his cheeks as he remembered the horrible things he said to him.

All this while, he was blaming him for choosing this career but he had no idea that it was his words that set that in motion.

Yukito wanted to become a model not for himself but for the man he loved and cherished the most. His dream was a reciprocation of his simple wish that he just blurted out at that time.

Jing understood everything.

It wasn’t like Yukito wanted to hide their relationship from the world. He was just waiting for that moment where he could announce it with pride that he was Jing’s lover who was worthy enough to stand beside him.

Yukito said, “It’s not like Jing had any problems with me. He loves me, and he always said that it was enough for him. But it wasn’t enough for me. Jing is the most eligible bachelor today. He is rich, influential, and popular. Why should he choose a man as his lover when he could have any girl he wanted?”

“Of course, before love and your heart, every other question and argument becomes meaningless. But I didn’t want to hide behind his feelings for the rest of my life. I want him to feel proud of me just as I am proud of him. I didn’t want to make him feel ashamed of me. I don’t want people to point fingers at him and his choice. That’s why I waited till this moment to announce my relationship.”

Yukito looked up and spotted Jing in an instant.

He chuckled.

I knew he would start crying. Such a baby…

“I love you, Jing. I love you very, very much. I am sincerely sorry for making you wait for a long time. But now I can proudly say that I am your boyfriend, and you didn’t make the wrong choice.”

Jing burst into even more tears.

Nuo asked, “Uncle Jing. Don’t cwy.”

Jian and Nian giggled. “Smile Uncle Jing. Smile!”

Jun’s brow twitched as he looked at Nana. “Mama, even you are crying…”

Jinhai sighed and pulled her in his arms. “Don’t make my wife cry.”

Nana mumbled. “I cannot help it. It was so touching.”

Yukira laughed. “Poor Jing. Just look at you.”

Yu Ichika wiped her tears. “I am so proud of my son.”

Yukito said, “Thank you so much for everything, and this is your answer you wanted to listen for all this time.”
