Five years later, after waking up from the hospital, she thought she had adapted to this kind of life.
However, the longing eyes of the two children at the dinner table for their father's love finally broke her forced calmness.
I quietly pushed open the door of the children's room and saw two children sleeping soundly.
She was tucking in her son's quilt when she suddenly caught sight of the small notebook beside the pillow.
Opening the first page, there are four people drawn in crayon:
The one with long hair in the middle is obviously her, holding a child in each hand. There is also a vague tall figure at the very edge, with the word "Dad?" written in strokes next to it.
My heart... suddenly hurt.
Her trembling fingers stroked the blurry figure. The crayon marks had faded a little, obviously having been looked through many times.
She hurriedly closed the notebook, tears already falling uncontrollably.
At this moment, an unprecedented desire surged in her heart.
She wanted to know who she was?
Who is the child’s father?
Where are you now?
…
At the same time.
In the apartment on the top floor of Yuncheng Emerald Bay, Shi Heng stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.
"Boss, it's time to take a break." Sim reminded for the third time.
Shi Heng didn't look back, but just shook the wine glass gently.
Outside the window, neon lights were reflected on the river surface, shattering into a starry sky.
"Sim," he said suddenly, his voice low, "remember that wedding five years ago?"
Sim stiffened.
As a confidant who had followed him for many years, he knew better than anyone how the unfinished wedding had gradually drained the life out of this man who was a leader in the business world.
"Remember." Sim responded cautiously.
Shi Heng tilted his head back and drank the red wine in the glass. As his Adam's apple rolled, a drop of dark red liquid slid down his jaw.
"If that day..."
He stroked his empty wine glass. "I didn't insist on having that wedding..."
The last sound dissipated in the air, but it was more suffocating than any crying.
Sim opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.
Shi Heng had asked this question countless times in the past five years, but he could never find a suitable answer.
“She loves the night view here the most.”
Shi Heng suddenly chuckled, his fingertips lightly touching the cold glass, "She always tries to trick me into sitting here with her."
Sim watched as his boss's stern profile warmed up and knew that he was lost in memories again.
"She said the lights here are like stars from the sky falling into the river."
Shi Heng's mouth curled up slightly, "Sometimes she falls asleep while watching, curled up in my arms like a kitten..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
He looked down at his empty arms, where there seemed to be some warm weight lingering.
Sim turned away.
He had seen too many times in the past five years how this CEO, who was so decisive at the negotiation table, would open his arms to the air late at night.
"Go rest next door. I want to be alone for a while."
Sim left the room and closed the door quietly.
Shi Heng sat down at the desk and opened his laptop.
The writer's backend page shows the novel "The Starlight Never Leaves" which has been serialized for two years.
"Time to write about the wedding..." He muttered to himself, his slender fingers trembling slightly as they hovered above the keyboard.
On that stormy night two years ago, he registered the pen name "Night Watchman".
No one knew that this mysterious writer was the business legend Shi Heng.
No one would have thought that every plot in the book was the true story of him and Gu Youran.
At first, no one was interested in the novel, and there were only a few messages in the comment section.
But a year ago, the novel suddenly became a hit.
Now more than five million readers eagerly await:
【Can I see the wedding today? 】
[Please, author, please don't be cruel! ]
【What secrets does the heroine have? 】
Shi Heng took a deep breath and began to reconstruct the unfinished wedding from five years ago.
When I wrote about Gu Youran turning into golden light and disappearing, a tear fell on the keyboard.
After publishing the latest chapter, he leaned back in his chair.
He insists on updating one chapter of this 1.5 million-word novel every day.
Although readers complained about the slow updates, more comments were:
【Every chapter is worth savoring again and again】
【The author's words are magical】
【There is truth in the story】
Close the computer and pick up the phone.
The lock screen still shows the photo of "Adventure Kiss".
A notification pops up on the screen:
The new chapter of "The Starlight Never Leaves" has been released!
Shi Heng gently stroked Gu Youran’s smiling face on the screen.
"Have you seen our story?"
…
At the same time, the lights in the backyard of Jishengtang were still on.
Su Niannian tossed and turned in bed, her fingertips sliding across the phone screen, her eyes falling on the familiar reading APP icon.
After hesitating for a second, she clicked in.
“Updated!”
She subconsciously let out a soft cry, then covered her mouth, her cheeks slightly hot.
I'm thirty years old, but why am I still as excited as a little girl following a serial?
But this book "The Starlight Never Leaves" is different.
Ever since she stumbled upon it a year ago, every plot has given her a sense of déjà vu.
The phone suddenly vibrated, and messages from the book club kept popping up:
【The latest chapter is too cruel! 】
【Watching now, no spoilers yet! 】
[The author is serious this time, the heroine actually...]
Su Niannian blocked the group messages and tapped the latest chapter with her fingertips.
When she read that passage, her breath almost stopped.
[Shi Muyu rushed towards the golden vortex. As soon as his fingertips touched the light, Gu Nianran's body began to dissipate into countless light points.
"Don't be afraid," Gu Nianran's final smile reflected the golden light, "I will turn into a star to protect you."
