Jiangcheng has always felt that the night is enchanting.
The tiny, ethereal blue stars in the sky twinkled mysteriously towards them, seemingly so distant from Earth, yet so alluring. Each time Jiang Cheng looked up, he was contemplating the exploration of galaxies.
After another long silence, Zhao Xuerou finally spoke tentatively after Jiang Cheng took the cup and sipped the warm liquid inside, "Are you... hungry? I'll make you some noodles."
