Chapter 208 Sun, Moon and Stars

Huo Qingchi was startled and asked, "What?"

"Can I call you Qingchi?"

On this day in the previous life, Ye Qingyue addressed Huo Qingchi as "Mr. Huo" or "Comrade Huo", which was so polite yet a little distant.

When Ye Qingyue asked this question with such an intimate address, her ears felt slightly hot.

But she did not avoid Huo Qingchi's sight, but stared into the man's eyes.

She had been prepared.

Huo Qingchi kept coming towards her, so she had to return the love to this man with the same sincerity.

"Of course."

Huo Qingchi did not hesitate at all.

When he said this, his eyes were shining.

"You can also call me Qingyue."

Ye Qingyue smiled at him, "Come to think of it... our names both have the word 'Qing' in them, is this fate?"

Huo Qingchi curled his lips and said, "It must be fate."

There is always an inexplicable fate between him and Ye Qingyue.

The two met for the first time, and they met by chance. After he saved Ye Qingyue, he thought he would never see her again, but because his opponent poisoned her, he looked for a doctor in vain, and suddenly he thought of Ye Qingyue.

Since then, the two have been connected and it is difficult to break off.

"I didn't really like my name before."

Ye Qingyue said softly, "But now I feel happier when I think that my name has the same word as yours."

In the past, when Ye Qingyue thought of her name, she would recall the sin that old man Ye had committed, wanting to name her "Qingming" to bring bad luck and curse her to die early.

But since she thought that this name has the same character as Huo Qing, Ye Qingyue has become more optimistic.

For example, although her name has a bad origin, she met a kind person who changed her name to "Qingyue".

Every time she mentioned her name, instead of recalling the unlucky old man Ye, she would think about the kind staff who helped her gently.

After looking at things from a different perspective, Ye Qingyue also found that her past experiences were not that bad.

And all these changes were because of the man in front of her.

"Me too."

At this time, Huo Qingchi spoke. He looked directly at Ye Qingyue and said seriously: "Although the same characters are in our names, it is just a coincidence, but I am also happy that I can have more contact with you because of this coincidence."

"Qingyue, before I left the capital, I gave a letter to my subordinates. If you didn't come to me, I would have thought that you were scared by me, and I would have hidden this feeling well in the future, but you came to me--"

When Huo Qingchi mentioned this, although it had been a long time, he was still as ecstatic as he was yesterday, "So, I don't want to suppress this feeling anymore."

"When it comes to your affairs, I am not as calm as I usually appear. Even if I just see you, my heart... will be in turmoil."

Huo Qingchi said: "Your existence is enough to make my heart beat, I really..."

"I like you very much."

Huo Qingchi's voice was gentle and firm, "I also love you very much."

Like is his feeling for Ye Qingyue.

Love is his sense of responsibility based on this feeling.

Huo Qingchi had a lot of sweet words to say to Ye Qingyue.

But when the words came to his lips, they became poor.

Huo Qingchi just wanted to express the most sincere and ardent feelings in his heart. After

he finished speaking, he took out a palm-sized wooden box from his pocket.

After opening it, a pair of silver bracelets were revealed, engraved with simple and mysterious patterns.

In the middle part, the small and slender bracelet was engraved with a crescent moon, while the larger bracelet was engraved with a star.

"You are a doctor. Compared with the noble gold, this cold and warm metal color is more suitable for you."

When Huo Qingchi was working in other places, he cooperated with the state departments to fight against the enemy spies. At this difficult time, he took time out and found a craftsman to make this pair of bracelets with platinum.

"Can I wear it for you?" Huo Qingchi asked.

"Yes."

Ye Qingyue smiled and stretched out her hand.

She had been waiting for this moment for a long time and was ready, so she was not shy.

Huo Qingchi also smiled at her, took out the bracelet engraved with the moon pattern, opened the secret buckle, and put it on Ye Qingyue.

The exquisite bracelet, matched with Ye Qingyue's slender and white wrist, seemed somewhat sacred and inviolable.

But...

"Why is it the moon and the stars?"

Ye Qingyue picked up the remaining bracelet in the box, which belonged to Huo Qingchi, and asked the question in her mind, "Aren't they usually paired with the sun and the moon?"

Although she had been single in her previous life, she had many suitors around her and had seen many couples.

Many men and women wear couple accessories, and when it comes to the moon, they usually pair it with the sun.

The pair of couple bracelets made by Huo Qingchi are the moon and the stars.

Ye Qingyue's intuition told her that there was a deeper meaning here.

"Don't you think it's a bit arrogant to pair the sun and the moon as a couple?"

Huo Qingchi's answer surprised Ye Qingyue.

"Arrogant?" Ye Qingyue looked at Huo Qingchi in confusion.

"The moon shines only with the help of the sun, but even without me, you are still radiant."

Huo Qingchi looked at Ye Qingyue's eyes, which were filled with tenderness. He said, "The relationship between the sun and the moon is not equal. I don't want to call myself the sun and regard you as the moon. It's too arrogant to assume that you can shine only with me."

He admitted that he was a bit chauvinistic at times.

But he also respected Ye Qingyue very much.

This respect went hand in hand with love.

"Then why are they stars?" Ye Qingyue asked again.

"Because there can be many stars, but there can only be one moon."

Huo Qingchi said softly: "Qingyue, you are a unique moon, irreplaceable, and I am willing to be one of the countless stars around you."

He knew that Ye Qingyue's growth trajectory was too different from his own, and there were too many people he couldn't let go of.

Ye Xianghong, Ye Mei, Ye Feng...

These people have paid too much for Ye Qingyue.

Huo Qingchi regarded Ye Qingyue as his unique one, but he didn't want to force Ye Qingyue to let go of so many important people and regard himself as unique.

So, he would just be a star next to the moon.

Ye Qingyue stared at Huo Qingchi in a daze, and almost immediately understood the man's idea.

She was silent for a while, without saying anything, but just took the man's hand, opened the secret buckle of the bracelet engraved with stars, and lowered her head to put it on Huo Qingchi.

"But Qingchi, do you know? Although the stars look small, not as dazzling and bright as the sun, nor as unique as the moon, it is just an illusion. It is because they are too far away from the earth that they do not look as unique as the sun and the moon."

"In fact, some stars are more dazzling than the sun."

"Each of them is unique in this vast universe."

Ye Qingyue fastened the hidden buckle of the bracelet and looked up at Huo Qingchi.

Her eyes were slightly red, but with a gentle smile, she whispered: "Qingchi, you are my unique star."
