Chapter 121 Xi Jiu's Gift
The night sky, just after the rain, was like a washed black velvet cloth, clean and clear. Countless bright stars dotted the night sky, entwined into a galaxy, like a dream.
Ruan Qi took off the coat she was wearing, pushed the door and got out of the car.
The fresh air hits your nose, above your head is the dazzling and magnificent Milky Way, and below your feet you can overlook the lights of thousands of homes in the imperial capital.
Ruan Qi was on the top of the mountain, as if immersed in a dreamlike universe.
At this moment, a pair of hands gently wrapped around her waist.
The man's warm breath lingered in her ears, his voice low and lingering, "Baby, do you like it?"
The girl, immersed in the starlight and lights, nodded blankly.
"I like it, it's so beautiful..."
Xi Jiu chuckled softly.
His hand slid from the girl's waist, and he intertwined his fingers with her small hand, "Baby, come with me."
Ruan Qi had no idea where the man was taking her, and a look of bewilderment crossed her face. She glanced reluctantly at the lights below and the galaxy above, then followed the man.
The night breeze is refreshing, mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees.
On the narrow mountain road, the tall man held the girl's hand and walked towards the end of the road step by step.
There was a starry sky on the mountain, but no lights. The deeper the path went, the denser the trees grew, until finally the branches, so dense they blocked out the starlight.
Ruan Qi let Xi Jiu hold her hand as they walked slowly through the darkness. Her night vision was excellent, and she looked up at the dense bushes surrounding them and asked curiously, "Jiujiu, where are we going?"
Xi Jiu, who was walking in front to lead the way, gently squeezed her hand, and his cold yet gentle voice spread in the darkness.
"To our home."
Home?
There was a hint of surprise in Ruan Qi's eyes.
She couldn't suppress her curiosity and wanted to continue asking, but Xi Jiu, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stopped.
Ruan Qi looked at his back in confusion, "Jiujiu, why are you..."
Before he could finish his words, warm yellow lights suddenly lit up on both sides of the dark mountain road without any warning.
Half-human-high, white, hollowed-out petal street lamps stood silently on either side of the mountain road. Strings of wind chimes, made of white feathers and colorful shells, dangled from the hollowed-out petals, swaying quietly in the night breeze.
A string of wind chimes was blown by the wind, and soft feathers gently caressed Ruan Qi's arm.
Ruan Qi, who was a little dazed, subconsciously grabbed the feather, but unexpectedly found that there seemed to be a candy pink paper roll tied at the bottom of the feather.
She let go of Xi Jiu's hand and slowly opened the scroll.
——May the baby have a peaceful life.
The man's handwriting was sharp and vigorous, adding a touch of tenderness when written on the pink paper.
Ruan Qi recognized who wrote it at a glance. She looked up at Xi Jiu and said, "Jiujiu, you..." Before she could finish her words, she seemed to remember something, put down the wind chime wrapped in paper in her hand, and walked towards the next street lamp.
She used her fingers to pick up the feather wind chime hanging on the street lamp, and sure enough, there was a paper roll wrapped around the bottom feather.
Ruan Qi quickly opened the paper scroll.
——May the baby have a smooth life.
The little girl's eyes turned red instantly.
She pursed her lips and walked forward while unrolling all the paper rolls under the wind chimes of the street lights.
May the baby be healthy and free from disaster.
May the baby be safe and happy.
May the baby have a worry-free life.
May the baby be happy and forget his worries.
May the baby...
There were 52 street lamps and 52 strings of wind chimes. Xi Jiu had written a blessing on the scroll of each wind chime.
He didn't write that he hoped he and Ruan Qi would be happily married, or that Ruan Qi would love him forever. Xi Jiu threw himself aside, writing down his deepest desire, stroke by stroke.
