Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Initiating Advances at Him_1

"Do you think I’m getting a bit too heavy? Should I lose some weight?" Flustered, Xia Qingtian immediately pulls out a tissue and wipes the sweat off Bo Jingyan’s forehead.

She has been too busy lately to maintain her figure and she wasn’t sure if she had gained weight.

"You’re not heavy and there’s no need to lose weight." A hint of unspeakable tenderness softens Bo Jingyan’s indifferent tone. "I wish I could fatten you up a bit more so that no one else would want to snatch you away from me."

Xia Qingtian bursts into laughter at his words.

"That’s what we call being blind in love. You think I’m worthy of being snatched away because you like me." A mix of laughter and disbelief in her voice, "I’m not a walking fortune. Not everyone will like me."

Yet Bo Jingyan tells her seriously, "In my heart, you are more important than money."

Though she knew it was sweet talk, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but fall into it.

What girl doesn’t like hearing sweet talk from the one they love?

She was no exception.

Leaning closer, Xia Qingtian whispers into Bo Jingyan’s ear, "In my heart, you’re more important than anyone or anything else."

After that, she lightly pecks his earlobe instinctively.

Bo Jingyan’s breathing noticeably falters, and he swiftly sets down the woman on his back.

Before Xia Qingtian could react, he suddenly pulls her into his arms, and his raspy voice echoes in her ear.

"Xia Qingtian, you’re the one who’s flirting with me here."

Xia Qingtian is dumbfounded, "I didn’t... mmh..."

Before she has a chance to finish, she’s silenced by a kiss.

Though Bo Jingyan’s lips are cool, their kiss feels impossibly hot, as if capable of melting her soul.

By the time they set off again, half an hour has past.

Resting on Bo Jingyan’s back again, Xia Qingtian’s lips feel oddly numb. She clenches her fist and whacks him.

But his muscles barely register the hit. Instead, she’s the one who hurts her hand.

Irritated, Xia Qingtian lets out a cold huff.

However, it doesn’t take long before Bo Jingyan sets her down, "We’re here."

Xia Qingtian shines a flashlight around.

To her surprise, he’s brought her to a hill.

The hill is barren, there’s nothing impressive about it.

Bo Jingyan pulls out a blanket from somewhere, spreads it on the ground, and motions for Xia Qingtian to sit down with him.

As night falls, the temperature in the suburbs drops dramatically. A chill wind causes Xia Qingtian to shiver. "What are we doing here?"

Bo Jingyan unbuttons his coat, wrapping the shivering woman inside, warming her with his own body heat.

Only after making sure Xia Qingtian has stopped shivering and warmed up, he finally says earnestly, "The farmer we met while picking fruits earlier today told me that this hill is the best spot for star gazing, and also watching the sunrise too."

At his words, Xia Qingtian instinctively looks up at the sky.

The stars above truly are beautiful, and the Milky Way is clearly visible.

"How is it?" Bo Jingyan turns to ask her.

She can’t bring herself to look away. Absently, she murmurs, "Yeah, it’s really beautiful. Breathtaking really."

Even more so than the star-gazing restaurants Bo Jingyan had taken her to, when they celebrated Cheng Bingbing’s landing an important role in the palace drama.

The suburban sky is so much clearer than in downtown A City.

"If you like it, I can bring you here often." Bo Jingyan pledges to her.

Just as Xia Qingtian is about to agree, suddenly...

Something flashes across the sky, leaving behind a beautiful streak of light.

A shooting star!

"Bo Jingyan, look... a shooting star..." Xia Qingtian exclaims in surprise, her excitement evident as she points towards the direction of the shooting star.

"Yes, I saw it." Bo Jingyan simply nods.,

"I can’t believe we’re so lucky to see a shooting star." Xia Qingtian says excitedly.

She can’t even remember the last time she saw a shooting star.

"It’s all because of your good luck." Bo Jingyan chimes in.

"What a pity..." Suddenly, Xia Qingtian sighs. "The shooting star appeared and disappeared quickly, I forgot to make a wish. They say it’s quite effective to wish upon a shooting star."

She recalls her childhood when her parents would often take her stargazing. Whenever they saw a shooting star, they would tell her to make a wish.

And her wishes would always come true.

She believed that making a wish upon a shooting star would surely make the wish come true.

Even after learning that her wishes always came true because her parents would make them come true for her, she would still instinctively think that making a wish upon a shooting star would make it come true.

Seeing Xia Qingtian disappointed, Bo Jingyan reaches over and ruffles her hair, "With your luck, if you can see one shooting star, you can see a second, a third..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth, another star shoots across the sky.

"Quick, make a wish..." he prompts Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian quickly clasps her hands together in prayer, silently making her wish upon the shooting star.

As soon as she’s done, Bo Jingyang immediately asks, "What did you wish for?"

"Of course, I wished for us to stay together as a family, and for everyone to live a peaceful and safe life." Xia Qingtian replies honestly. "I also wished for my dad’s surgery to be successful."

After experiencing the fragility of life multiple times, Xia Qingtian realizes that health and safety are far more important than anything else.

"Your wish will definitely come true." Bo Jingyan pulls her into his arms, his voice sounding unusually serious.

Xia Qingtian nods.

She’s made a wish upon the shooting star. It should come true.

Now and then, more shooting stars streak across the sky.

Leaning against Bo Jingyan, Xia Qingtian holds a quiet moment of peace, suddenly feeling life is good.

"The experience of stargazing here is amazing, and we see so many shooting stars. When An’an is older, we should bring him here." Xia Qingtian suggests.

"Sure." Bo Jingyan agrees instantly.

"When I was small..." Xia Qingtian starts sharing her childhood memories with him.

As she talks and talks, she eventually falls asleep in Bo Jingyan’s embrace.

...

The next day.

Xia Qingtian is woken up by Bo Jingyan.
