Chapter 409: This man hung the stars around her neck
Li Beijue’s arm immediately supported her, and he stood up steadily before walking towards the peak of the mountain.
As Chi Enen leaned on his back, she realized his back was broader and sturdier than she had imagined, each step bursting with a man’s exclusive strength.
One step after another.
The warmth of his skin penetrated the fabric to her, and Chi Enen suddenly felt an indescribable palpitation. It was as if she deeply felt she was not alone, which was especially comforting.
This walk lasted half an hour.
Chi Enen saw a layer of fine sweat had formed on his forehead and couldn’t help but say, “Li Beijue, let’s stop and rest for a while before we continue.”
“Didn’t I tell you not to talk to me while climbing? I can’t stand the sound of your panting!” After saying that, he hoisted the person on his back a little higher and continued walking up.
The setting sun dyed the scenery below the mountain a dazzling shade of orange.
Finally, before nightfall descended, they reached the peak of the mountain.
The peak wasn’t the bare place she had imagined, there was an astronomical telescope placed there. Near the telescope, there was also a soft circular sofa with fruits and drinks. He even thoughtfully prepared an electric mosquito coil and floral water.
These items placed at such a high location were obviously arranged by him.
Was Li Beijue going to show her the stars?
Li Beijue placed her on the sofa, looking at the stars that were faintly visible in the sky. His thin lips curved upwards as he glanced at the time and gestured to her, “Come here.”
“Are we going to watch the stars?” Enen walked over, and he adjusted the telescope to the perfect height for her.
Then he pointed to the southeast direction and suddenly started to count down.
Chi Enen didn’t understand what he was counting down to, but soon she found out.
As soon as his words ended, a star streaked across the sky from the southeast.
Before long, the night color saturated the entire sky.
One after another, stars darted across the sky, trailing long tails, breathtakingly beautiful.
Chi Enen, having never seen a real meteor shower before, opened her eyes wide.
Looking through the telescope, the meteors seemed incredibly close. She quickly closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and made a wish.
“Enen, every person who leaves first actually becomes a star in the sky. Aunt must have become a star too and has never left you.”
“She has always been with you, just like Jingchen and I will always be with you.”
Chi Enen suddenly turned her head to look at him—
The man under the starlight looked as handsome as Apollo descended to earth; his sculpted features, at that moment, appeared extra tender. It was as if… all the starlight had fallen into his eyes.
He brought her to the cemetery, brought her to see the meteor shower.
In fact, it was all to tell her through actions that she was never alone; when he said he wanted her, it was as if he wanted the sun, the moon, and the stars to bear witness.
She suddenly believed what Si Chen had said.
A man like Li Beijue, if he wished, no woman could refuse him!
He is stubborn, obsessive, possessive, and controlling. But he also has the most fervent emotions. Once loved by such a man, and having loved such a man, it becomes impossible to have feelings for anyone else.
Because he has plucked all the stars from the sky—
“Li Beijue, I…” She felt her heartbeat quicken, yet suddenly her throat became incredibly dry…
