Li Siming seemed to be under a spell, slowly going down...

Shen Shuyi stood up when his lips were about to fall, and she coughed lightly, "It's late, you should go back and rest."

At this moment, everything seems to be silent.

Li Siming just looked at her quietly, then he woke up completely and realized what he had just done. He spoke anxiously.

"I, I have already bought the camera, Sister Shuyi."

Shen Shuyi put away the medicine box, and when he turned around again, his expression returned to calm, "That's perfect, we can use it when we go to Luming Lake to watch the stars tomorrow."

"Well, I'll go home first." Li Siming returned home, the throbbing in his heart was still beating. He locked himself in the music room to create, trying to turn all his inspiration into music.

And then... sing it to her.

…

On Monday night, Chen Shuyi and Li Siming arrived at the Arxan Hot Spring Luming Lake Campground as scheduled. The clear, moonless sky was like a huge piece of black silk, gently covering the entire world.

Chen Shuyi followed behind Li Siming and stepped into this pure land that seemed to be forgotten by the world. The clear lake water sparkled with tiny silver rays under the starlight. The surroundings were so quiet that only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the grass tips and the leaves rubbing against each other could be heard, as well as the occasional cry of unknown night birds in the distance.

"It's so beautiful here..." Shen Shuyi couldn't help but mutter to herself. When she looked up, she saw stars like diamonds, densely embedded in the night sky, as if they were within reach. They were so bright and beautiful that her heart trembled slightly.

Li Ming had a gentle smile on his face. He had long had his eyes on this place and had made careful preparations for a long time, just to share this beautiful moment with Sister Shuyi.

He skillfully unloaded the camping equipment from the car, and soon, a cozy tent was firmly pitched beside the lake. Inside the tent, a small warm yellow light was on, reflecting the starlight outside, creating a romantic and warm atmosphere.

Li Siming took out a professional astronomical telescope from the trunk of the car and carefully set it up on the open space by the lake.

"I thought you just brought an ordinary stargazing camera." Shen Shuyi leaned over, and her fingertips accidentally brushed his wrist, causing Li Siming's ears to turn slightly red.

"Arshan is one of the best stargazing spots in the Northern Hemisphere. Now is a good season for stargazing. I want Sister Shuyi to see it more clearly." Li Siming adjusted the angle of the telescope.

"Look northwest."

“Let me see.” Shen Shuyi leaned in front of him and put his hand on the telescope.

Li Siming was behind her, holding her wrist and guiding her to adjust her posture. The touch of his warm palm made his heart beat wildly. He quickly explained: "Today, the three stars in Orion's belt are particularly bright. Follow them to the lower right..."

Shen Shuyi seemed unaware, his attention was all on the eyepiece, and his pupils slowly widened.

In the field of vision, the misty pink nebula stretches out in the dark universe, like crushed rose petals, with a faint golden light on the edges.

Li Siming's voice came from behind my ear, "This is the Rose Nebula in Monoceros, 5,200 light years away from Earth."

"I heard that if you make a wish to it, lovers can be reunited across time and space."

Shen Shuyi tilted her head as she listened to his words, and happened to meet the tenderness surging in his eyes.

The light from the camp cast a hazy warm glow on his face, and when Shen Shuyi suddenly turned his head, the tip of her nose almost brushed his chin.

At this moment, both of them froze, looking clearly at each other's eyelashes and eyes.

The night wind swept across the lake, and Shen Shuyi suddenly raised his finger and pointed to the sky.

"Brother Siming! Meteor!"

Li Siming looked up and saw the falling stars and her beautiful face.

His Adam's apple rolled as he looked at her quietly, unwilling to look away.

It seemed as if she was more beautiful than all the stars and was his muse in music creation.

Li Siming looked at Shen Shuyi who was making a wish to a shooting star. He took out his guitar, and the warm strings rippled in the night.

"Sister Shuyi, I wrote a song and want to sing it for you."

Shen Shuyi sat opposite him, looking at him with bright eyes, “Is it the title song of the new album?”

“Luckily I heard it in advance.”

Li Siming took a deep breath, adjusted the position of the guitar, and gently plucked the strings.

"It's not a song from the album, it's... just for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly adjusted his incredibly fast heartbeat and started singing without waiting for her to open her mouth.

When the first note sounded, ripples appeared on Luming Lake in the distance, as if it was also listening with bated breath.

Li Siming's voice is low and gentle, not as flamboyant as on stage, but with unprecedented sincerity:

"The stars are twinkling, just like the heat in my eyes that I can't hide. I want to get closer but I'm afraid to disturb the moment...

"The stars whisper softly in the night sky, and every word is about your outline. I dare not look directly into your gentle eyes, but I long to be gently embraced by you...

"You are the warm monsoon, an unexpected surprise. Loving you is a letter from light years away. When the rose pierces the gears of rationality, you will understand that love is a cosmic gentle deviation..."

The song drifts slowly in the quiet night, and the gentle and affectionate voice seems to be expressing the most passionate and sincere love in the heart.

The last note dissipated into the night sky, leaving only the chirping of insects in the distance.

Li Siming's eyes looked straight into Shen Shuyi's, and his face turned slightly red. He usually shone brightly on the stage, and he could remain calm in front of thousands of fans, but now he was as nervous as a young boy in front of Shen Shuyi.

He took a deep breath and said, "Sister Shuyi, this song is called "Star Language". I wrote it for you. I hope you like it."

Shen Shuyi's heart was gently touched by the delicate emotions in the lyrics, and she saw Li Siming's eyes filled with stars when he looked at her.

Li Siming looked at her with deep eyes and continued, "The inspiration for "Star Language" came from you."

His Adam's apple rolled, he looked at Shen Shuyi intently, and spoke sincerely.

"Only after meeting you did I realize that Muse is not a legend, but a real existence."

"Every singer must eventually surrender to his muse."

Shen Shuyi couldn't stand his burning gaze anymore.

The handsome face was approaching, and his breath was within reach.

"Sister Shuyi, I like you. Can I be your boyfriend?"

Shen Shuyi looked at his flushed cheeks and raised his chin slightly, “Want me to be your girlfriend?”

"I do. I dream about it." Li Siming couldn't help but hold her hand.

"I don't know when I started dreaming about you. You are the first woman I want to touch."

The surroundings were very quiet, and Li Siming looked at her quietly.

The sound of breathing and heartbeat seemed audible.

Li Siming looked into her eyes and asked softly, "Can I be your boyfriend... hug you and kiss you?"

Shen Shuyi’s hand, which was held by him, trembled slightly.

Li Siming lowered his head, "Can I hug you? Sister Shuyi..."

"May I..."

The boy's breath was getting closer and closer, and Shen Shuyi saw his long eyelashes drooping, and her heartbeat accelerated.

The tips of their noses were almost touching, and she could see his slightly shiny lips.
