Chapter 348: I want to take you to see the entire Milky Way!

"But, I can show you. It's still possible."

These words, mixed with the cool evening breeze, were like a stone thrown into the center of a lake, creating ripples in Shi Runrun's heart.

She stood there blankly, looking at the man in front of her.

The afterglow of the setting sun gave him a soft golden outline. His black eyes, which were always so deep that one could not see the bottom, were now filled with tiny starlight, clearly reflecting her stunned face.

She had been complaining about this man in her heart this morning, wondering if he would buy any star she liked.

As a result, in the afternoon, he really brought an astronomical telescope.

He responded to her unintentional joke in his unique, clumsy and domineering way.

Shi Runrun's heart felt like it was being gently grasped by a warm hand, feeling sour, numb, and with a sweetness that was about to overflow.

He led her by the hand, step by step, to the huge and sophisticated telescope.

He lowered his head and began to adjust the instrument. The hands that had signed contracts worth hundreds of millions of yuan were now turning the knobs and adjusting the focus with some unfamiliarity.

He looked focused, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was studying some world-class problem.

Shi Runrun looked at his clumsy appearance and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

"Mr. Xiao, this isn't your first time using this thing, is it?"

The man paused in his adjustment, raised his head, glanced at her uncomfortably, but his tone remained firm.

"There's something wrong with the logic of the instructions."

Shi Runrun burst out laughing.

This man can always find a justifiable excuse for his incompetence.

She reached out and covered his big hand that was still holding the knob, and her fingertips accidentally touched his warm palm.

"Let me do it. I used to be in the astronomy club at school."

The man's body stiffened for a moment, but he didn't object and let her take over the debugging work.

Shi Runrun skillfully adjusted the angle and parameters of the telescope based on his memory.

Xiao Xue Zheng stood behind her without saying a word. His tall figure enveloped her completely, forming an airtight encirclement.

The familiar scent of cedar on his body, mixed with the crisp evening breeze, seeped into her nostrils, making her feel a little distracted.

"alright."

Shi Runrun finally calmed down and adjusted everything. She turned her face to the side, wanting him to see first.

But when she turned around, the tip of her nose almost brushed against the man's solid chest.

The distance between the two of them was a little too close.

She could clearly see the delicate texture of his white shirt and feel the scorching heat coming from his body.

Shi Runrun's cheeks flushed and she quickly took a step back, creating some distance.

"You...you take a look first."

Xiao Xue Zheng didn't move, but just lowered his eyes and looked at her slightly red ears, with an imperceptible curve at the corner of his lips.

Instead of looking at the eyepiece, he reached out, gently pressed her shoulders, and brought her back to the telescope.

"You look first."

His voice was low and hoarse, with an air of urgency that could not be denied.

Shi Runrun's heart skipped a beat, and she had no choice but to follow his force, bend down, and put her eyes close to the eyepiece.

A vast and brilliant starry sky suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

Countless diamond-like stars are scattered on the dark blue velvet curtain, bright or dim, flashing a mysterious and distant light.

The magnificence and depth of the universe made her forget to breathe for a moment.

"Did you see that?"

The man's voice sounded in her ears, and his warm breath sprayed on her earlobe, bringing a slight itch.

"I saw it, it's so beautiful..." Shi Runrun murmured to herself.

"Look to the upper left, the brightest one." He guided her.

Shi Runrun did as he was told, adjusted his sight, and soon found an exceptionally bright star. Among countless stars, it emitted a cool and dazzling light, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

"That star is called Vega."

There was a hint of emotion in the man's voice that she couldn't understand.

"Vega?" Shi Runrun was stunned for a moment, "Why this one?"

The man was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, his voice a little lower than before.

"Its number is HIP91262."

Shi Runrun didn’t understand. It was just a string of numbers. What was so special about it?

"Your birthday is September 12th."

The man's voice was very soft, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding in Shi Runrun's mind.

912……

September 12th.

Her birthday.

So, he didn't just pick a star at random, but took great pains to find this one among thousands of stars, just because her birthday was hidden in its cold string of numbers.

A huge warm current suddenly rushed to her eyes.

Shi Runrun felt a lump in his nose, and the brilliant starry sky in front of him instantly blurred.

This man...

He doesn't say sweet words and doesn't understand romance, but he always does the most romantic things in the world in his own way.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, making the rooftop a little cool.

Shi Runrun was still immersed in the huge emotion and had not come to her senses.

A white shirt with a man's body temperature and familiar scent suddenly fell on her shoulders.

She turned around and saw that the man was only wearing a thin vest. His strong arms and chest muscles were clearly defined. In the darkening sky, he was full of wild power.

He pulled the shirt closer, wrapping her whole body in it, leaving only her little head exposed.

"Have you seen enough?" he asked.

Shi Runrun sniffed, trying hard to hold back her tears, her voice thick with a hint of nasal intensity.

"Xiao Xuezheng, you are such a..."

She wanted to say he was a fool, a fool.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

She looked at him, in the last rays of sunset, at his excessively handsome face, and at herself in his eyes.

The next second, she did something that even she found incredible.

She stood on tiptoe, stretched out her arms, and actively wrapped them around his neck. Then, she tilted her head back and pressed her soft lips against his.

The man's body tensed up in an instant.

He seemed to be completely unprepared for her sudden action, and a hint of surprise flashed across his deep black eyes.

But that astonishment was soon replaced by a stronger and hotter emotion.

He almost immediately took the initiative, stretched out his long arms, grabbed her slender waist, and squeezed her whole body into his arms.

He deepened the kiss.

It is no longer a temptation, nor a punishment, but is filled with the ecstasy of regaining what was lost and an intense possession that cannot be dissolved.

He pried open her teeth, conquered her, and swallowed up all her breath and thoughts.

The sound of the wind on the rooftop and the hustle and bustle of the city in the distance all disappeared at this moment.

Shi Runrun felt like a lone boat floating on the sea, being caught in a huge, scorching whirlpool. She could only cling to him tightly and let him drag her down with him.

She didn't know how long it was, until she felt the air in her lungs was about to be sucked out, and then he let go of her a little.

Their foreheads touched, their breaths intertwined, hot and rapid.

Shi Runrun felt weak all over and could only lean in his arms, gasping for breath.

The man stared at her with his dark eyes, which were darkened by lust, as if he wanted to suck her in completely.

He stretched out his thumb and gently stroked her lips, which were swollen from his kisses.

"Runrun."

He spoke, his voice extremely hoarse.

"From now on, this star will be under my control."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and pecked her soft lips again, neither lightly nor heavily, then took her hand and interlocked their fingers.

"go home."

He pulled her and turned to leave.

After taking two steps, he stopped again.

The man turned around and walked to the huge telescope. He tapped the cold mirror with his slender fingers, then took out his cell phone and dialed Qin Feng.

"Hello, Qin Feng."

His voice had returned to its usual calmness.

"Send someone to the top floor of the No. 3 Teaching Building at Beijing University and take this telescope, along with the other things I asked you to prepare, to the rooftop garden of the villa."

On the other end of the phone, Qin Feng responded respectfully.

Shi Runrun was stunned and she pulled his sleeve.

"Have you prepared anything else?"

The man hung up the phone and turned to look at her with a matter-of-fact look on his face.

"How can just looking at one be enough?"

He leaned over, leaned close to her ear, and slowly uttered a word in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"I want to show you the entire galaxy."
