Chapter 391: Chapter 391: All the Stars in the Sky Are You

"I... I’ll go to the restroom."

As soon as Fu Yanci opened the box, Ye Li’s heart raced, and she got up to hide in the restroom.

Xiao Bao blinked, sprang off the chair, and curiously hopped over to Fu Yanci’s side.

"Uncle, let me see."

Fu Yanci moved it away, making it impossible to see.

Only faintly seeing a "Dear Mr. Fu."

"Wow, it’s ’Dear,’ huh."

Xiao Bao pursed his lips and smiled, hopping around for a while, realizing Fu Yanci had no intention of showing it to him, he pouted and went to knock on the restroom door.

[Dear Mr. Fu,

Happy Birthday!

It’s a bit regrettable to have met you so late!

If I had met you earlier, I could have celebrated your birthday sooner and prepared birthday gifts for you!

16-year-old Ye Li would give you her paintings, full of sincerity;

17-year-old Ye Li would give you a pair of gloves she knitted, maybe a bit ugly, but surely warm;

18-year-old Ye Li has already gone to college, sending you a love letter shouldn’t be too much?

19-year-old Ye Li would relentlessly pursue you and maybe already have you by now? Pack herself as a gift for you, you would graciously accept it, wouldn’t you?

20-year-old Ye Li became Mrs. Fu.

Mr. Fu, with you in my life, the sunlight is you, the rainy night is you, all the stars in the sky are you!

Mr. Fu, hello, I’m Ye Li, the Ye Li who will spend the rest of her life with you.

Please take care of us in the future!

Ye Li]

[PS: Fu Yanci, if I say this is a love letter, would you believe it?]

[PPS: Writing a love letter for the first time, it’s so embarrassing! Fu Yanci, you are not allowed to laugh at me! Otherwise, I won’t write another one in the future!]

In just a few dozen lines, in the blink of an eye, it was finished.

But Fu Yanci read every word carefully.

The midday sun in Paris was brilliant.

By the floor-to-ceiling window, Fu Yanci’s deep and bright eyes shone as if glowing in the sunlight.

After finishing the last PS, he stood up and walked to the restroom door.

"Ah Li..."

Fu Yanci gently knocked on the door.

The voice inside carried a hint of shy apprehension, "Fu Yanci, you finished reading?"

"Ah Li, I’m coming in!"

He pushed the door open, and as he closed it, there was a click of the lock.

Outside, Xiao Bao blinked.

Knowing being a third wheel would be unappreciated, but wasn’t Uncle’s disdain a bit too obvious?

Too much!!!

Remembering earlier, Special Assistant Xiang had repeatedly emphasized that he was in the next room and told him to knock on the door if bored.

He thought it was unnecessary at the time.

Now, Xiao Bao understood!

The world of adults is indeed only understood by adults!

Pouting his little face in frustration, Xiao Bao turned and went to the neighboring room.

In the spacious restroom, Fu Yanci looked at Ye Li, who was lowering her head in his arms, refusing to look up at him. Her face was red like the morning glow he saw from the window earlier, her eyes shining with stars.

"Ah Li, is this a love letter you wrote to me? Ah Li?"

"...Hmm."

Ye Li responded with a buzz, and simply buried her head in his arms, "Fu Yanci, I really can’t think of anything else to give you. If you think it’s too perfunctory, I..."

Before she could finish, Fu Yanci cut in, "I like it very much!"

"Ah Li, Ah Li..."

Holding her tightly, Fu Yanci’s chin rested on the girl’s soft neck hollow, his heart seemed to melt along with it, "Ah Li..."

16-year-old Ah Li would give him a painting.

But she didn’t know, he was far away at Harvard that year, dreaming of her, yet upon waking, he didn’t even dare to make a phone call.

Thinking that time and space could separate all longing, could also separate his unspeakable coveting.

But reality told him, it not only didn’t reduce even a bit, but rather, being far from the Imperial City, far from her, his possessiveness and longing spread like wild grass.

In countless moments, he wanted to snatch her from Zhou Hecchen’s hands.

But it was just a thought.

Ah Li by Zhou Hecchen’s side smiled so radiantly and captivatingly.

If fulfilling his wish meant she would be hurt, he would rather stay away.

18-year-old Ah Li had grown up, sending him a love letter wasn’t excessive.

But only the night knew how the longing he wrote became bone-deep.

Fortunately, 20-year-old Ah Li became Mrs. Fu.

All the past incompletions, on this birthday, because of Ah Li’s handwritten love letter, seemed to instantly become perfect.

"Ah Li..."

His voice hoarse, "It’s the first love letter I’ve ever received, and... the best gift I’ve received."

???

Ye Li was taken aback.

Her shyness dissipated.

"Fu Yanci, you’re lying!"

The girl pushed him away, her moist eyes still shyly glaring at him, "Mr. Lue said, when you were studying at Harvard, the love letters you received could be counted by the sackful!"

"I’m not lying to you!"

Fu Yanci laughed, "Those, I never even opened them, they don’t count! Ah Li, only the ones you write to me count!... Ah Li, only when I read them do they count!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

First was herself wrapped with a bow.

Then the unexpected love letter.

He lowered his head to kiss her, and hugged her tightly again, Fu Yanci felt this was the happiest birthday he had ever had in the past 29 years.

They had a meal.

Went shopping.

Took a couple’s photo by the Eiffel Tower.

Shared the same Mojito in a roadside tavern.

Through the glass windows, she could see the scenery, while Fu Yanci watched her.

For a moment, Ye Li felt like she truly fell in love.

Late at night, after handing the sleepy Xiao Bao to Xiang Yang to take back to the hotel, Fu Yanci held Ye Li’s hand and went to the lakeside.

In July by the Seine Lake, the night breeze was gentle.

The passing pedestrians wrapped tightly in their windbreakers came and went in strides.

Occasional tourists stopped momentarily, hurriedly snapped a few photos, and left.

As she looked up, the hazy night sky was starless, as if it were going to rain again.

"Fu Yanci, let’s go back quickly!"

Ye Li urged.

"Ah Li, wait a little longer..."

Fu Yanci opened his windbreaker to wrap Ye Li in his arms, "It won’t be long."

Bong.

Bong bong.

...

In the distance, the church bells rang long and deep.

By her ear, Fu Yanci softly counted down, "3, 2, 1... Ah Li!"

The man tenderly and joyfully called, "Ah Li."

A loud bang echoed from across the lake.

Fireworks suddenly exploded, lighting up the night sky, and illuminating Ye Li’s eyes with surprise.

"Ah Li, didn’t you say that the sunlight is me, the rainy night is me, and all the stars in the sky are me?"

Gazing deeply into Ye Li’s eyes, Fu Yanci’s eyes were profound, "I bring all the stars in the sky to give to you, and share this life with you!"

Bang!

Bang bang!

Above, the misty night sky was dazzlingly lit by colorful fireworks.

In front of her was the man she didn’t know when she fell in love with, yet hesitated to confess her love to.

Ye Li’s eyes shimmered.

"Fu Yanci, I love you!"

A little voice inside her heart softly said.

As the night sky lit up once more, Ye Li stood on her tiptoes and lifted her head to kiss him.
