nFaltering, An Xiaxia couldn’t put together a coherent sentence. Her little face had turned red and hot instead!

nSheng Yize was now above her and within reach. The fluid lines of his profile made him look like an exquisite piece of art.

nAn Xiaxia’s heart was pounding in her chest and she was so rigid that she couldn’t even move a finger.

nSheng Yize casually caught the spider between his fingers and waved it in front of An Xiaxia’s face. An Xiaxia looked horrified and moved away from it as far as she could. “Ah! What is that?! Get it away from me!”

nSheng Yize said unhurriedly, “First of all, a rascal would never share the same bed with you without doing things other than chatting. Secondly, An Xiaxia, when can you stop flattering yourself all the time?”

nAn Xiaxia was hurt and froze on the spot. She was going to lick her wounds quietly in the chilly autumn wind.

nSheng Yize threw the spider out of the window and lay back down on his pillow. He then spoke in a seemingly casual tone. “What do you want to talk about?”

nAn Xiaxia had yet to recover from the shock. She checked every corner of the bed to make sure there were no other bugs before letting out a sigh of relief.

nThe two then lay down shoulder to shoulder, fixing their gazes on the resplendent starry night outside.

nThe air was fresher in the mountains and the night sky was also stunning out here. They were able to savor a completely different night view here than in the city.

nAn Xiaxia reached out with her hand, as if she was going to pluck out a star.

n“I envy the stars so much. They don’t need to do anything. They just twinkle in the sky to pass their time.”

nSheng Yize was the only one to hear his own unspoken criticism: you only said that because you want to be an idle freeloader yourself!

nHe gave her a basic science lesson in an indifferent tone. “Most of the stars you see reflect the light of the sun. Actually, most of the stars are so far away from us that the light we see in the night sky are from dozens of millions of years ago. Some of the stars might not even exist now.”

nAn Xiaxia found that explanation puzzling. “So?”

n“So it’s not right to piss away your time! A star is always a foil to the sun. Why not try to become a little sun yourself?” Sheng Yize tried to pour some chicken soup for the soul into her head.

nAn Xiaxia rolled lazily on the bed and replied with an absentminded “oh.”

nSheng Yize smacked his own forehead. Whatever! He gave up!

nAn Xiaxia rolled around happily for a while before sighing. “I envy you so much, and Chi Yuanfeng, and He Jiayu. You’re all big stars and stand out in any crowd. You’re like the name of your group — Starry Night. You’re that boundless starry night and you have countless fans. That’s so nice…”

nSheng Yize sneered and made no comment.

n“But have you ever thought, without the stars, will there be a starry night?”

nThey were the most ordinary of teenagers who just happened to be elevated to that position at the right time.

nHe waited for a while, but the reply never came.

nSheng Yize glanced to the side to find An Xiaxia speaking lazily with her eyelids drooping. “Stars… all stars, hm… I might sprawl all over the bed. I hope you don’t mind.”

nAfter that announcement, her eyelashes jerked slightly and she slowly fell asleep.

nSheng Yize curled his lips in disdain, tucked her in, then closed his own eyes.

nHe thought An Xiaxia was only joking about sprawling all over the bed.

nHowever, he thoroughly understood what she meant by that in the middle of the night!

nIn his sleep, he felt a choking and crushing sensation around his neck.

nOpening his eyes, he saw what happened! An Xiaxia had long changed directions on the bed and put her feet on his neck!

nBlue veins popped in the corner of Sheng Yize’s forehead.
