Heavenly Star

“Well…you just said that I’m a bad person, right? I won’t care about what you’re going to say.” Ye Wuchen put his hands behind his head and said nonchalantly. For Si Ya, even if she was begged to tell what happened, she would never do so. For women, their reputation is always more important than her own life.

“You…you’re just such a bad guy” Si Ya slammed her foot hard, then turned her eyes and immediately put on a smile. She sat down beside her bed and said to Ye Wuchen, begging “I want to take back what I’ve said…you’re such a nice brother, would you just give me a dress as well? Please…I really, really like it…”

When this young girl tried to say something nice and in a sweet manner, it not only gave you goosebumps, it also sent chills down your spine. It further made Ye Wuchen’s knees weaker, when his body was already weak. He said somewhat in a frustrated manner, “I told you no, there’s no use to beg. I am a bad guy and so I have no mercy to give.”

Si Ya put on a pitiful face. She grabbed the arm of Ye Wuchen and swayed it, “you’re such a good brother and not a bad guy at all. Why can’t you just give me a dress as beautiful as the one you gave to my sister…give it to me, give it to me, please…”

With her begging, Ye Wuchen couldn’t help but soften himself. Si Ya was really something and she almost got the best out of him. He pulled his arm out of hers without a trace, and looked helplessly, “well… tell me your name first.”

With his softened tone, she was filled with joy, but she instantly came up with a shy look, “my mother told me that a girl cannot tell a guy what her name is so easily.” But then she said clearly and loudly, “my name is…Gong Ruo.”

“And your sister?”

“She’s called Gong Yue.”

“What about your brother?”

“My brother is called Gong Luo.”

“…it seems that you didn’t lie.”

“Ha? Of course, I won’t lie! So, when are you going to give me a beautiful dress?”

“Oh?” Ye Wuchen looked surprised and innocent at the same time. “When did I say that I am going to give you a beautiful dress?”

“But I told you my name!”

“I didn’t say that after you told me your name, I would give you a beautiful dress.”

“You!” Si Ya got so angry that she almost jumped. She pointed at Ye Wuchen and she was getting furious. Ye Wuchen looked up and he was admiring her angry face, “Gong Ruo Sis was born to be such a beauty. You’d look gorgeous no matter what you wear. You don’t need a beautiful dress to look more beautiful.”

This compliment worked wonders. Si Ya was not angry anymore. Instead, she could not cover her happiness, “you’re such a bad guy…you must be lying again!”

Ye Wuchen shrugged his shoulders: “I didn’t lie to you. Everyone here must be telling you every day how beautiful you are, right? Xueer, do you agree with me?”

“Yes, sis Si Ya is a natural beauty. She looks great no matter what kind of clothes she’s wearing.” Ningxue didn’t forget to nod.

Si Ya had always been praised all her life and she had not felt anything special. However, she particularly felt that her face was slightly flushed this time. She was trying to say something, and yelled angrily again, “Ha! I know that, you’re trying to deceive me again! My sister is even more attractive than me. So why did you give her a dress and not to me?”

“That is because not only that your sister is pretty, she’s also a thoughtful lady. She boils medicine for me every single day and even delivers it to me personally. Of course, I have to thank her in some way. I even think that one dress is not enough to thank her.” Ye Wuchen said with a smile. It was as if he was saying, “didn’t we just know each other today?”

Si Ya couldn’t respond in a long while. She bit her lip, “boil medicine…I also can do that!” Then she turned and left in a hurry. Her beautiful long legs could be seen through her semi-transparent dress and it led to some imagination.

Ye Wuchen shook his head and smiled. Ningxue felt relieved, she handed the medicine to her brother, “brother, it’s time for medicine.”

Ye Wuchen had to drink at least one bowl of medicinal soup every day. The taste of each soup was completely different. Every time, after he finished the medicine, he would have a slight fever. And he would feel that his strength somehow increased a bit. However, it usually didn’t last long. He knew very clearly that his body could not be fully recovered this way. But he didn’t want to reject the old guy, and he was waiting for a miracle as well.

So where is this miracle?

The old man was right. There is nothing absolute in this world. He was hoping for a miracle and waiting for it to happen.

The barrier was broken. In the afternoon, the old man brought all the people together and divided them into dozens of groups to explore the “outside world.” Although the barrier was a surprise to them, it was not a big one. What was at the south side was a tall and hard mountain and it was surrounded by a luxurious forest. The west and the east were the same. What was at the end were the grassland and little river that Ye Wuchen and Ningxue spent two years in. What was at the north side was the forbidden land. When one tried to look closer, there was nothing special. The only advantage was that the moving area was two times bigger. Therefore, the areas for farming and hunting was twice as big also.
