I almost touched the moon

The sun sank completely below the lake, and the sky turned dark blue with a hint of orange sunset remaining on the horizon. When I looked up, I could already see the stars in the sky.

A waning moon hung in the sky, the bright moonlight shone on the lake, and the Venus next to it was dazzling.

"The moon occults Venus." Wen Song's voice sounded in his ears, "When the moon revolves around the earth, it happens to move between the orbits of the earth and Venus, and this kind of landscape will appear."

"Iseylia..." Cheng Che turned his head to look at Wen Song. The moonlight made her face even colder. He mustered up his courage and told her what he had kept buried in his heart.

"Iseylia, Ich liebe dich." (I love you)

Wen Song was obviously startled by his words, but she was not afraid. Rather than being surprised, she seemed to be delighted. He could see that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised...

However, she said nothing, but just looked at Cheng Che quietly, waiting for him to continue.

"I know that what I said may be a little hasty, and you may think I am frivolous..." Cheng Che thought, since he has already taken the first step, he might as well tell her everything in his heart.

Perhaps it was because Lawyer Wen’s words today made him feel a sense of crisis, or perhaps Skyline made him feel uneasy, so he chose to confess to Wen Song tonight, at a seemingly inappropriate time.

"But I really like you. I have liked you since the first day I met you. I don't even know what I like about you, but I just like you. When I see you, I feel very happy. When I see you eating the food I cook, I feel very happy. When I know you are sick, I will be very worried about you..."

"Didn't you ask me today if I'm so nice to everyone? No, I'm really not. I don't have many friends, and I almost never socialize. I've never been in a relationship or pursued a girl. In fact, I'm pretty cold to people on a daily basis. But you're different. I just hope to do my best to make you happy, so that you can at least treat me as a friend..."

"Don't worry, I'm really not a playboy. If you don't believe me, you can ask your friend, Ms. Qiu from Hengya. You can ask her to ask my dad. I really have never liked anyone as much as I like you..."

"In fact, I have always admired you. I admire that you can be yourself without caring about other people's opinions. Moreover, I was a little unsure whether to continue training after graduation. It was you who gave me the courage to pursue my dream. Therefore, I will sign up for the next season of the Free Skating World Cup. I hope I can do what I really like. I also hope that you can witness it with me at that time."

"Sister Wensong, you may think that I am immature and impulsive, but I really like you."

"I'm not begging for you to fall in love with me, or to be your boyfriend. I just want to tell you what's in my heart. At least, I can stay by your side as a friend, okay?"

"I hope I don't bother you..."

"A Che." Wen Song smiled with tears in her eyes. She didn't expect Cheng Che to express his love to her so directly, and she didn't expect that he liked her more than she thought.

"I told you before, you don't have to be so cautious in front of me." Wen Song's voice was very gentle and peaceful. "How do you know that I don't like you?"

"Ah?" Cheng Che was overjoyed. "Did I hear it right?"

Wen Song nodded and said, "I do have a good impression of you. I think I like you. But as for love, I don't know the boundary between liking and loving. So, I can't say it as decisively as you do, 'ich liebe dich'."

"It doesn't matter..." Cheng Che was so happy that he almost cried, with tears in his eyes, "I know that my sister likes me, that's enough."

"But I can't become your lover right now." Wen Song would never rashly enter into an intimate relationship when his hormones were running high.

"I've told you that I'm not suitable for an intimate relationship, so I need some time to think about it. I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about myself. I don't know if our relationship will get better or worse once we become lovers, so I need to think about it carefully. Also, I'll be very busy from now until the end of July, so I don't have time for a relationship. I don't want to hold you back, and I don't want you to keep waiting for me."

"Ah Che, can you give me some time? Two months at most, okay? If during this period, you find someone else you like, you don't have to care about me, just follow your heart."

"No..." Cheng Che hugged her tightly, "I won't like anyone else. I only like my sister."

"Okay." Wen Song smiled and reached out to hug him, "Cheng Che...you are very good, really very good, I like you very much."

On the way back, Cheng Che was like a clingy person, holding on to Wen Song's hand and refusing to let go, and walking very slowly.

Wen Song couldn't help but laugh, "Aren't you tired of walking like this?"

"I want to stay with my sister for a while longer." Cheng Che said, hugging her again and moving closer, "Let's go back to Munich together."

"Sure, but I don't have time to accompany you." Wen Song said calmly, "I have classes from Tuesday to Friday, and sometimes on Mondays. When I don't have classes, I'm either in the library, laboratory, or observatory. I get home after ten o'clock every day, and I have to study until the early morning. I don't go out much on weekends, I just stay at home to catch up on sleep. So, even if you come, I guess we won't have much time to meet."

"Also, I hope you can focus on yourself and not put all your attention on another person just because of your feelings, ok?"

"I know." Cheng Che told her, "If you miss me, just tell me and I'll come right away. Can't I just come and see you on the weekend?"

Looking at his pitiful puppy eyes, Wen Song also softened his heart. He reached out and rubbed his head and said, "Okay, I usually don't stay late on Fridays. I go home around five or six. Let's have dinner together on Friday night, okay?"

"Okay!" Cheng Che agreed immediately, "Then sister, promise me that you will eat well every day."

"I know." Wen Song said with a smile, "Don't worry about me, take care of yourself and be safe when skiing."

"Well!" Cheng Che saw that he had arrived at the door of Wen Song's house, and said reluctantly, "Then I'll leave. Bye."

"Bye." Wen Song couldn't help but laugh as he watched him leave, looking back every few steps. How could someone be so clingy...
