Chapter 533: Chapter 351 Isn’t This the One You Asked Me to Count?_2

The little girl suddenly looked up, her eyes favored the stars, and she muttered something under her breath as if she had resumed counting them.

She stood still, counted for a while, paused, took a deep breath, and continued to gaze intently at the starry sky, her lips moving silently.

But the more Zhao Qian’er looked and counted, the more difficult it became for her to breathe.

Her chest heaved dramatically.

Zhao Rong didn’t notice these things; he was silent for a moment and then turned to leave.

"Come on, stop it, let’s go."

Zhao Qian’er sniffled and said earnestly, "I’m not leaving, I want to finish counting all the stars in the sky."

Her voice carried a faint tremble.

The beautiful Star River was profoundly oppressive to Zhao Qian’er.

The stars above seemed like they would all fall down and pile up on her.

Count all the stars in the sky? That’s insane.

Zhao Rong shook his head, "Stop being so childish, we might still have things to do later."

He paused in his speech and couldn’t help but sneer, "Besides, who in their right mind counts stars?"

Zhao Qian’er’s muttering lips suddenly stopped, and she fell silent.

Zhao Rong frowned and turned back to look.

In the darkness, a stubborn little girl who wanted to count stars wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand, her voice choking, "Wasn’t it you who asked me to count them?"

Zhao Rong stiffened.

"It was you, you asked me to count them, are you deceiving me again?"

Zhao Qian’er sniffed, looked down, and ferociously wiped her face with her sleeve.

She quieted down for a while, now without a crying tone, her voice was husky.

"Six years ago, you reluctantly got engaged to Miss and exchanged jades. That night, I came to secretly see you, you were reading in the study by lamp light. I wanted to ask when we would get engaged, when you would marry me, you know, the kind with a ceremony. I... I wanted that."

"But you got angry, told me to go back immediately, not to enter a man’s room at will, and not to disturb you while you were reading..."

Zhao Qian’er started sobbing again, suddenly crouched down, buried her face in her knees, her voice muffled and coming through.

"Zhao Rong, I didn’t mean to disturb your reading, Qian’er isn’t stupid, I usually see you working and I don’t bother you, but I was really worried and scared then and wanted to ask you."

She sniffed, "Didn’t the three of us say we’d always be together? Engagements and marriages mean we could always be together, right? You and Miss were engaged. I... I also wanted to get engaged, you can’t leave me behind."

"I just wanted an answer, and then... then you pointed to the sky outside the window and said when I could count all the stars in the sky, that’s when we could get married..."

The little girl buried herself deeper in her knees and started crying hard.

The air over the lake suddenly became still.

Only the sobs of a soon-to-be bride lingered in the wind, twining around Zhao Rong’s ears.

Li Bai was no longer there; instead, he was standing in the distance embracing his sword.

In the darkness, the evening breeze rustled the clothes of the two people.

Zhao Rong was silent for a moment, then looked down at the stars reflected in the lake water under his feet.

During all these six years, maybe a clumsy girl who was confused even in counting had seen each of these stars enter her eyes and imprinted them in her heart.

Suddenly, he stepped forward and took Zhao Qian’er into his arms.

Zhao Rong’s chin rested on Zhao Qian’er’s head, and he shook his head, holding her even tighter.

"I’m sorry, I..." he whispered, "I really forgot, I’m sorry, I’m sorry."

Zhao Rong loosened his arms slightly, took a deep breath, and buried his head in her soft hair, whispering softly:

"Silly girl, don’t cry, it’s okay if we can’t finish counting, from now on... from now on I’ll count with you. We can only part after we’ve counted them all."

The little girl in his arms looked up dumbly, "Really... really?"

Zhao Rong was quiet for a moment, then suddenly smiled gently, looking down beside the silly girl’s ear and breathed out two words, "Not real."

"You!" Zhao Qian’er sobbed once, but upon seeing his smiling face, realized Zhao Rong was joking.

Suddenly feeling stubborn, she struggled in his arms, burying her head again in his chest and smearing all her tears and snivel on him.

For a moment, Zhao Qian’er forgot both crying and rejoicing.

She just felt that this person was so annoying, so annoying; he had just made her heart tremble, wanting to cry and to kiss him, yet he teased and fooled her, so annoying!

Zhao Rong’s smile faded, and he hugged her tightly.

Zhao Qian’er also suddenly stopped her antics, raised her hand, and hugged him tightly as well.

The two embraced, standing on the lake surface studded with stars.

Below them, were stars that could never be counted in a lifetime.

They, too, only had a lifetime together, so they had their disputes for the rest of their lives.

The two, one tall and one short, Zhao Rong held her perfectly in his embrace.

Having just received an affirmative answer to her proposal, Zhao Qian’er’s heart throbbed joyfully, beating wildly.

Her little face turned red as she touched his beloved abs, hugged him, caressed his back, and tickled him.

It all seemed so new to her.

With their hearts now closer to each other, it seemed there were many new things to explore, much to experience.

Warmed by Zhao Rong’s body heat, Zhao Qian’er felt the happiest place was in his arms, dizzily exploring.

The two cuddled for a while, whispering softly to each other.

Before long.

Zhao Rong, holding Zhao Qian’er’s hand, went to find Li Bai, coming before him.

Zhao Rong took the initiative, "Uncle Li Bai, sorry to keep you waiting."

Zhao Qian’er shyly turned her head away, seeming to survey the scenery elsewhere, her expression unclear.
