Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Stargazing

Bian Yue also smiled, her expression flamboyant, "Mr. Shen, please wait and see."

After saying that, just as Bian Yue was about to leave, she was pulled back into Shen Jinci’s embrace. With a touch of astonishment, she looked at him puzzled.

"What’s wrong?"

"Moon Princess, now that official matters are discussed, can we talk about personal matters?" His voice was mild, playfully coaxing without a stir.

Inside his embrace, Bian Yue smiled and in a soft tone asked, "What personal matter?"

Shen Jinci replied, "I’ll take you to see the stars."

Bian Yue’s smile became more genuine, she earnestly said, "But it’s raining outside, there won’t be any stars."

Shen Jinci didn’t argue, instead, he took Bian Yue’s hand and walked out of the study.

At night, the Shen family’s house was deserted. The two walked up the winding staircase, and after what seemed like countless steps, they finally stopped in front of a heavy door.

Surprised, Bian Yue looked at Shen Jinci, still out of breath, and asked, "The stars... are they here?"

"Open and see."

As Shen Jinci spoke, Bian Yue felt a cold metal object being placed into her hand.

It was a key.

Bian Yue looked down at it, then looked up again, her eyes filled with deeper surprise, "Should I open it myself?"

"Yes, have a look."

Bian Yue thought to herself, the stars should be in the sky, how could they be locked in a room?

But she was genuinely curious about what Shen Jinci had put in this room.

Bian Yue inserted the key into the lock.

She did it with focus, unaware that Shen Jinci beside her was also looking at her, his eyes brimming with a smile.

As the key turned, Bian Yue excitedly looked at Shen Jinci, "Then... I’m pushing the door open."

"Okay."

Her hand touched the doorknob, filled with curiosity, she slowly pushed open the door.

The moment the door opened, Bian Yue was astonished, speechless on the spot.

The room was filled with fireflies, emitting a cold, flickering light in the dim room.

Shen Jinci had already taken Bian Yue’s hand and walked in.

The door was closed, Shen Jinci took off his suit jacket, spread it on the ground, and said, "The ground is cold, sit here."

Bian Yue seriously looked at the spectacular fireflies in front of her and sat down following Shen Jinci’s words.

She watched with interest for a long time, finally raised her eyes to the man next to her, and said, "Shen Jinci, where did you find so many fireflies?"

"The ecological environment isn’t great around Xiangjiang, but outside the city, there are still many forests with good ecology, I found them there." Shen Jinci paused, then gently stroked Bian Yue’s hair, "Yueyue, do you like it?"

Bian Yue said she liked it, she had seen fireflies as a child, but hadn’t seen them much after growing up.

Shen Jinci’s hand paused in her hair, his eyes deepening, he gazed at Bian Yue’s joyous smile.

"If Yueyue likes it, then anything is possible." His movements returned to normal, looking at Bian Yue with his noble and serene smile.

Bian Yue didn’t know the complex thoughts in Shen Jinci’s mind. In the dim yet beautiful light, her eyes brimmed with laughter as she looked at Shen Jinci and took the initiative to hug him.

She said, "Thank you, this is the most beautiful star I’ve seen this year."

Shen Jinci was momentarily dazed, feeling an indescribable happiness and fear rush to his heart.

He didn’t know whether Bian Yue’s happiness was because of himself, who stood before her, or because of the person she had been exchanging letters with for a long time, to whom she had written down her thoughts.

As for the fireflies, they were merely one interest of Bian Yue recorded by that person.

Shen Jinci acted with a probing and speculative heart, and the result was good; Bian Yue really liked it.

Yet, Shen Jinci felt even more bewildered.

He held Bian Yue tightly and spoke in a raspy voice, "Yueyue, can you tell me what else you like? I want to hear it from you."

Without overthinking, she replied, "Sure, I’ll make a list someday and tell you everything."

For a moment, Shen Jinci didn’t know what to say.

He really wanted to see what was on Bian Yue’s list, but he could not overlook that the Bian Yue perceived by that person seemed deeper than Bian Yue knew herself.

He was one of the people in this world who understood Bian Yue the best.

Shen Jinci didn’t know how to do better, comparing himself to a dead person, how obstinate...

Bian Yue still slept as usual at night, and Shen Zhaoli sat in the hall, seeing Shen Jinci come downstairs in his pajamas.

He felt an unreal sense of unfamiliarity towards this blood-related brother; often, he wondered how this person could really be his brother.

The bonds between people are indeed mysterious.

They clearly had stood opposed, but they also easily became relatives who could talk about anything.

Shen Zhaoli glanced up at the dim light behind Shen Jinci, raised an eyebrow slowly and asked, "Has Bian Yue gone to sleep?"

"Yep." Shen Jinci sat down across from Shen Zhaoli.

"You told me to go to Feng Cheng for some excitement, and I did go, I even took Bian Yue with me. Li Sihe, that man is no simple character, even using his own emotions as a bargaining chip; such a ruthless heart," Shen Zhaoli sighed softly, leaning back on the couch, looking indifferently at Shen Jinci, "But your Bian Yue really doesn’t have any love for him anymore."

"I know."

"Why do you look unhappy then?" Shen Zhaoli was genuinely amused by Shen Jinci, he raised an eyebrow and asked seriously, "You spent a day catching fireflies on the mountain, didn’t Bian Yue smile for you?"

Shen Jinci didn’t respond, just took the collaboration document that Shen Zhaoli had left on the couch earlier.

"You asked me to do this for what? Who wants to collaborate with Lixing on a movie?" Seeing Shen Jinci’s focused expression, Shen Zhaoli sneered, "What does Lixing really need to collaborate with others for? You insist on collaborating, from the company’s perspective, none of these clauses can be omitted."

Shen Jinci had already flipped to the last page. His long fingers pinched the edge of the document, his posture elegant, he lightly praised, "Quite harsh."

"Harsh? Who wouldn’t want to get on board with Lixing’s ship? You’re the one insisting on collaboration; I just reluctantly wrote a collaboration document. If you ask me, it would be better if we monopolized everything," Shen Zhaoli frowned, clicking his tongue lightly, "Relax the rules a bit, is this a collaboration or charity?"

His words were indeed harsh, Shen Jinci looked up, his gaze deep with meaning, looking at Shen Zhaoli.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

"The one who wants to collaborate is Bian Yue."

Shen Zhaoli’s eyes widened, "Bian...then why write a collaboration document? She’s your wife, just indulge her a bit, what’s wrong with being a little disadvantaged?"

"What Bian Yue wants is not my protection. What I can give her is not just protection," Shen Jinci spoke in a calm tone, his words earnest and tranquil, "I hope she can have the ability to stand on her own at any time."
