She Is Brighter Than the Stars

Xie Junyu smiled slightly, his eyes were full of tiredness and burnout.

With a slight twist of his finger, he pointed at the people from the Su family behind them, and said in a deep voice, “I’m afraid you are the only one in this room who doesn’t know about this.”

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, let alone in their small circle.

Now that Cheng Nian thought about it, it seemed that she had indeed heard about the fact that the Xie family had an illegitimate child.

She didn’t like socializing, and every time she went back to Su’s house, she would leave after eating, and she didn’t even know that this illegitimate child was her classmate.

She couldn’t help but feel ashamed, feeling that she had wasted too much time on Li Shubai in her previous life.

If she had remembered this incident, she should have hugged Xie Junyu’s thigh tightly as soon as he entered the class.

But this was all Cheng Nian’s imagination, she was never a person who likes to follow others, this idea just passed in her mind and then disappeared.

Xie Jingyu’s original partner is not in good health. After exhausting all kinds of folk remedies, she conceived a daughter and had a miscarriage within three months.

During that time, the gathering of the Su family was all about this matter, bluntly saying that Xie’s second child had no heirs, and it was cheaper for the children of the Xie family.

Now that Xie Junyu appeared suddenly, he became a thorn in the eyes of many people.

But moreso, afraid there are people like the Su family who want to curry favor with him.

Sure enough, soon those people gathered around quietly. They pretended to talk to Cheng Nian, but in fact they just wanted to get close to Xie Junyu, and they also speculated about the relationship between the two of them.

After all, this young master has never given anyone a good look since he entered the door. Sitting beside Cheng Nian suddenly and chatting with her for so long, it seems that the relationship is not normal.

Cheng Nian felt bored after just a few words with these people. She put down her glass, said the house was too boring, picked up her coat and walked towards the garden.

Xie Junyu also nodded politely towards them, stood up and walked out behind Cheng Nian.

Hearing that the door behind her was opened again after she came out, Cheng Nian subconsciously turned around.

Seeing Xie Junyu standing there wearing a blue down jacket, she smiled helplessly, waved her hands and said, “The people in the room don’t know what to think anymore.”

Xie Junyu chuckled, and finally there was a bit of anger in his star-like eyes, “Never mind them.”

It had just snowed a few days ago, and the garden was a vast expanse of whiteness, only the floor tiles that had been swept by the servants could be seen underfoot.

Cheng Nian and Xie Junyu walked around the garden, and when they entered the house again, the adults on the second floor had just come down.

The moment the door was opened, almost everyone in the room turned their attention to this side.

In this glance, Cheng Nian saw all the emotions that can be expressed on human faces, but soon everyone regained their unified amiability.

Mr. Su first smiled and asked, “Where did you two go to play?”

Cheng Nian replied obediently: “Jun Yu said the room was too stuffy, so I took him for a walk in the garden.”

Knowing that his son has never had relatives, Xie Jing was a little relieved and said: “Children are very enthusiastic, and once they are in front of us, they have nothing to say.”

The second aunt on the side hurriedly said: “Isn’t it? We really don’t understand what the child thinks now. Let’s talk about my son. Prepare good clothes for him instead of wearing them, and prefer those tattered ones.”

As she spoke, she gave Cheng Nian a sideways look from the corner of her eye.

Xie Junyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, “This kind of clothes is indeed very popular now. You probably don’t like it because you are old.”

Watching Second Aunt’s face turn from red to white, and then from white to purple, the laughter in Cheng Nian’s heart was so loud that it could be heard across eight streets.

The second uncle hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, and quickly changed the topic to a new painting in his new collection.

Cheng Nian remembered that painting, saying it was Zhang Daqian’s authentic work, but it was only after a long time that he realized that it was just a work of a stall under the overpass.

After all, it was from the Su family, Cheng Nian didn’t want to embarrass him even more, so she refrained from saying anything, otherwise she had to point it out on the spot.

Xie Jing and Xie Junyu didn’t get along much, and the relationship was very tense. It’s not easy for him to say something about Xie Junyu in front of so many people, so he chatted about painting smoothly.

The atmosphere quickly returned to its previous cheerful appearance.

At eight o’clock in the evening, the gala started on time.

The adults watched and chatted in front of the TV, and the children went to the yard to play with their pockets full of firecrackers.

From the moment Cheng Nian and Xie Junyu walked into the room until now, she had explained their relationship to at least five people, and she was really tired.

After grabbing the candy and stuffing it into her pocket, Cheng Nian found a sheltered place on the roof and sat down.

It’s a bit cold outside, but it’s better than facing those annoying relatives.

The clear moonlight poured down unobstructed, as if coating the earth with a layer of silver.

Cheng Nian suddenly thought of Li Shubai.

“You like Li Shubai so much?”

Such a sentence suddenly popped up in her mind, even Cheng Nian herself was startled.

She hurriedly rested her head on the cold stone pillar, trying to regain consciousness.

But as soon as her face was pressed against the pillar, another sentence automatically rang in her ear.

“On such a cold day, what poems can you think of?”

Cheng Nian thumped the wall twice angrily, trying desperately to expel these voices from her memory.

There was a sudden noise in the distance, and then a huge firework suddenly exploded on the black sky.

This is considered to be an older wealthy community in the city, and there are private fireworks every year.

At that time, the control was not very strict, and sometimes you could see several companies playing at the same time.

However, it was the first time seeing such a big one, and it finally attracted her attention.

Orange-red fireworks exploded, lighting up half the sky.

Before one had time to fall, the other rose up immediately, and the sky was full of colors for a while.

Cheng Nian raised her head slightly, looked at the sparkling sparks in midair, and sighed inaudibly.

Someone should be kissing while watching fireworks.

This idea came about because the first time she and Li Shubai kissed was under fireworks.

It was also winter and new years, Cheng Nian asked Li Shubai out with a shameless face.

It was very windy and cold by the river.

In order to make her legs look thinner, Cheng Nian only wore a pair of thin leggings. She also chose a thin woolen coat for the jacket, which has almost no warmth retention, shrinking like a little penguin in the cold wind.

Li Shubai came out with her just because he wanted to make things clear, and hoped that Cheng Nian would stop pestering him.

Seeing Li Shubai’s sexy mouth opening and closing, saying the words that she had heard impatiently, Cheng Nian was thinking how to stop it.

Someone on the other side of the river set off a small bunch of fireworks, and Li Shubai’s eyes were briefly attracted to it.

Turning around, Cheng Nian was already standing in front of him.

Cheng Nian stretched out her small hand, grabbed Li Shubai’s collar, and pulled him to her face.

Her chin was slightly raised, and she gently touched the lips she had been longing for.
