After Zhong Zeqian abruptly left the dinner table, Feng Jian Ya took out a gift for Ye Feng from his room.
“Sister, this is for you.” He handed her the book he had hidden behind his back. “The latest manga from CLAMP.”
Her eyes lit up for a moment, but she didn’t take it. “No, I don’t enjoy reading manga anymore.”
“That’s impossible.” He put the book down, “You clearly still liked it when you were in Taiwan.”
“There’s nothing in this world that can’t be abandoned.” She said calmly.
“What do you mean?” He didn’t understand.
“Whether it’s the joy of the moment or the love for someone, they all fade away quickly. I can’t believe in eternity. So, Ya, your love for me must be just temporary.” She stopped him from speaking, “You keep longing for what you can’t have, unable to let go. In reality, it’s just an illusion. Have you ever considered this possibility?”
Ya pulled her hand, “Come with me!”
“Where are you taking me?” She was a bit worried as he drove off without a word. “I was just expressing my thoughts; there’s no need to be so harsh.”
He drove on, letting her talk to herself.
The car stopped by the sea, and he opened the door for her to get out.
“What are we doing here?” The wind was cold, and she tightened her coat.
He didn’t speak, just pointed at the sky. Ye Feng looked up.
“Wow, what a beautiful starry sky!” The stars dotted the black velvet sky like jewels.
“You can’t see the stars in the city. Do you remember ‘A Promise Under the Stars’? Bei Cun really made a promise to his beloved under this very sky.” He suddenly threw her down and strode into the sea.
“Ya Er, come back!” What was he thinking, going into the sea in such cold weather, wearing so little? “Come back to me!”
“I ask the stars in the sky to bear witness for me, I ask the vast sea to bear witness for me, Ya Er, my wind between the leaves, I love only Ye Feng in this life!” He looked at her, “I will love you for a lifetime!”
