795 Not as Beautiful as Mrs. Ji
What did she just see? Fireflies! There were so many fireflies. They were shimmering with a faint light as they gathered together, forming a large patch in the darkness. A scene as beautiful as a fairy tale came into her sight almost instantly. Shen Hanxing was so shocked that she was speechless. No girl could reject the beauty of fireflies. These little elves stretched themselves freely in the dark, using the light from their abdomens to create a beautiful dream. It was so beautiful that it was breathtaking. People tend to remain silent upon seeing it for fear of disturbing these beautiful fireflies and ruining this beautiful scene.
“Do you like it?” Ji Yan pulled Shen Hanxing into his arms from behind. The chirping of insects, birds, and cicadas on the mountaintop on the summer night. Ji Yan hugged Shen Hanxing as if he was hugging the whole world. Sensing Shen Hanxing’s surprise, his gaze became gentler. “I heard that there were fireflies here, so I wanted to bring you here to take a look.”
“I like it. I like it so much! It’s really beautiful here!” Shen Hanxing nodded, pleasantly surprised. It was so beautiful that she couldn’t help but lower her voice.
“Not as beautiful as you, Mrs. Ji,” Ji Yan gazed at Shen Hanxing and kissed her cheek. “How can the light of a firefly compete with the brilliance of the sun and the moon?”
The fireflies were truly beautiful, so beautiful that it made one speechless. However, Ji Yan did not look at them again except at the beginning. He kept staring at Shen Hanxing in a daze as if the beautiful scenery could not compare to Shen Hanxing in his eyes. Shen Hanxing felt helpless and sweet at the sight of his focused gaze. She could not help but smile. “Mr. Ji, don’t look at me. Look at the beautiful scenery.”
“I’m enjoying the beautiful scenery.” Ji Yan responded, his deep eyes still fixed on Shen Hanxing. “Mrs. Ji is the most beautiful scenery in my eyes.”
In the midst of the fireflies, Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing’s faces gradually drew closer. It was hard to tell who was more active. As their breaths caught each other’s breath, the two exchanged a gentle and lingering kiss.
They were both in a good mood when Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing left the mountain. When they returned to the courtyard, Ji Yan sent Shen Hanxing back to her room and kissed her forehead. “Good night, Mrs. Ji. Sweet dreams.”
“Good night, Mr. Ji.” Shen Hanxing looked at Ji Yan with a smile.
Ji Yan watched as Shen Hanxing’s slender figure disappeared into the room. He had never felt that time had passed so slowly before. He just had to bear with it for a little longer, and it would be over soon.
Right at this moment, the door next door suddenly opened slightly. Ji Qian and Ji Ning, one above and one below, stuck their heads out from the crack. “Big brother, you’re back from your date with sister-in-law?” Ji Qian lowered her voice and sneaked a peek at Shen Hanxing’s room door. She asked with a smile, “how is it? are fireflies pretty?” She and Ji Ning had been listening here for long and had specially picked this time to come out! Sister-in-law would easily get shy and feel embarrassed if she knew they stayed up all night. However, it was fine with big brother. He was thick-skinned!
“Why aren’t you asleep?” Ji Yan glanced at Ji Qian and Ji Ning, frowning slightly. He didn’t know what was happening, but Ji Qian’s personality seemed childish. As the sisters’ relationship improved, even the well-behaved Ji Ning was led astray. In the past, Ji Ning wouldn’t have done something like stop people at the entrance.
Ji Yan couldn’t help but say to Ji Qian, “It’s fine if you’re causing trouble. But stop bringing bad influence to Ji Ning.”
“Staying up all night is not causing trouble. I’m having fun with Ji Ning,” Ji Qian retorted, unconvinced. “big brother, don’t try to sow discord!”
“Ji Qian is not a bad influence,” Ji Ning tried her best to protect Ji Qian as he said softly, “I’m not sleepy yet.”
Ji Yan lifted his brows and heard Ji Mo’s voice from next door before he could say anything. “Idiot.” He stuck his head out to look at Ji Qian and Ji Ning and said in exasperation, “Didn’t the two of you notice that big brother was intentionally changing the topic?”
It’s already so late, but Ji Mo was still awake? After Ji Qian heard Ji Mo’s words, she immediately turned to Ji Yan and said, “Big brother, you’re so bad!” If not for the fact that she was afraid of disturbing Shen Hanxing, she would have jumped up and down! She chided Ji Yan in a low voice. “we’ve looked through many strategies and found the best dating place. We’ve given you ideas, big brother. How could you treat us like this?”
Beside Ji Qian, Ji Ning was also fidgeting with her fingers and nodding her head vigorously to express her reprimand toward Ji Yan. Today, she couldn’t stand on her big brother’s side. They had secretly plotted to come up with an idea to let big brother take their sister-in-law to see the fireflies, but big brother tricked them after using them.
