Chapter 62: Meteor Five

  When I regained consciousness again, what entered my eyes was a piece of darkness, and several stars were shining with weak light in the night sky. Rubbing my slightly painful forehead, I frowned and got up from the lawn, and turned my head slightly to see Xia Ling City beside me.

  He had a small blade of grass in his mouth, half-closing his eyes as if thinking about something, with both hands propped behind him on the lawn, looking relaxed and casual.

  "Awake?" Seeing me looking at him, Xia Ling Cheng smiled slightly, and for a moment, the flowing light floated, and the moonlight spilled down to give him a soft halo.

  I shivered, but all I could hear was that devilish phrase echoing in my ears: "Gu Qian, let's go to hell together." What kind of mood would someone need to be in to say something like that with such grandeur? And why did he change into this unbridled appearance in just an instant.

  "Xia Ling Cheng, do you and I have a feud?" I asked with furrowed brows.

  "No way." Xia Ling Cheng looked at me with a "you're an idiot" expression, and said without hesitation: "I haven't known you for long, how could I possibly have a grudge against you, young lady?"

  I looked at him seriously, and couldn't find any sign of lying on his face. I half-believed and half-doubted, withdrawing my gaze, hesitating whether to continue the topic or not.

  It was Xia Ling City who strangely opened his mouth: "You inexplicably fainted, and indeed should go to the hospital for a check-up?"

  "What?"

  "You fainted just now, I saw that you weren't seriously injured so I brought you here." Xia Ling Cheng's mouth curved up, saying with some malice: "You should have been lacking oxygen, if you don't wake up soon I might do something to save you that you won't like." His tone was playful, making it hard to tell what was real and what wasn't.

  My face turned red with anger as I glared at him and scolded: "Shameless!"

  Xia Ling City shrugged indifferently, "Still has the energy to scold people, looks like he won't die." He shifted his gaze from me to the night sky and said quietly, "Where would there be any shooting stars? It's all just a scam."

  For some reason, I clearly heard a hint of loss in his tone.

  "You say, why must people live in this world?" Xia Ling Cheng's tone suddenly dropped, as if he was muttering to himself, yet seemingly eager to get an answer.

  I wrapped my arms around my legs and replied casually, "Because the heavens are very bored, all people are just a game of chess to it, it likes to see people helpless, lonely and crying, that will make the heavens feel pleasure."

  Xia Ling Cheng's deep eyes fell on me steadily, with a hint of inquiry and a dash of struggle.

  "Is it really perverted?" I calmly and coldly retorted back at Xia Ling Cheng's gaze.

  "Gu Jing, you're really interesting." Xia Ling Cheng withdrew his hands and fell straight onto the grass. I heard a thud and turned around to look at him with some confusion.

  Xia Ling City lay on the lawn in a big character, his eyes had many emotions that I didn't understand at the time, and it wasn't until many years later that I learned that emotion was called loneliness.

  "Gu Xian, if one day you find that everyone around you has distanced themselves from you and everyone has betrayed you, what would you do then?"

  "I will definitely retaliate, whoever dares to hurt me a little, I will pay him back ten times."

  At that time, I was still a young and arrogant girl, even with some radical ideas, not knowing what forgiveness and pardon were.

  But that's what youth is all about, right? If I hadn't experienced the so-called recklessness of my younger years, how could I have grown into the best version of myself?
