Starry Sky Chat
15 Starry Sky Chat
Time passes by bit by bit.
Soon, the sky darkened.
Su Liu and Qi Fengling came to a small hillside. Looking down from here, they could just see the sculptures in the central courtyard.
"Want to eat?" Qi Fengling seemed to have been waiting for nightfall. "A simple meal."
Su Liu subconsciously shifted her gaze to Qi Fengling's lips.
Qi Fengling's lips have a beautiful curve, like petals with great symmetrical aesthetics. When he is naturally relaxed, the corners of his lips are slightly raised, making him look particularly gentle and without temper.
At this moment, the lips are slightly open, like the chanting of a siren to lure travelers, which is intoxicating.
"I'm not hungry," Su Liu bit her lip and tried to regain consciousness, then took a half step back and looked back.
Behind me is a grassland that stretches as far as the eye can see, dotted with small green, yellow, pink and white flowers. The wind brings the scent of green grass, and seems to be telling something.
Qi Fengling took off his outer coat, spread it on the grass, and motioned Su Liu to come over.
Su Liu lay down.
The starry sky at night is beautiful.
Qi Fengling was lying on the ground, his hands crossed behind his head, an arm's length away from Su Liu.
The hillside sloped to one side. Lying there, they could see the sky when they looked up and the sculptures when they looked down.
"Why would you leave here?" Su Liu asked, "There should be a lot of memories left here."
"If time goes by too long, it will gradually fade away," Qi Fengling said softly.
Su Liu thought of Qi Fengling having spent three thousand years alone in another world, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
He couldn't imagine what he would become like three thousand years later. What would he do if his long life was filled with pain, nostalgia, loss and hopelessness?
"When I was very young, I hated my father very much," Qi Fengling's voice seemed to blend into the wind, with a touch of melancholy.
Su Liu turned her head to look at Qi Fengling.
Qi Fengling didn't turn his head, but his eyes were already turned to Su Liu.
If someone else did this action, it might seem somewhat sinister and aggressive, but Qi Fengling's shining eyes only revealed fragility.
Qi Fengling continued, "My mother raised me alone. She told me she was going out to relax and would return when the time was right. I didn't believe her. What responsible Alpha would leave a pregnant Omega alone out there? I've never seen him in these sixteen years. He's a coward."
"The Alpha neighbor across the street is a doctor. He's repeatedly hinted that he's willing to be my stepfather, saying my father is a worthless person. During my prenatal checkups, my mother always went alone, and she was deceived by a scumbag. But my mother doesn't like this neighbor. Even though I really want him to embrace love again, I won't make decisions for him. At least marriage shouldn't be a deformed product where people compromise for the sake of their children."
"My mother is very beautiful. One of his suitors once said that she was bewitched by him while she was pregnant. He even arranged a private fight with other competitors to be the successor. They really couldn't imagine what kind of Alpha would be so cruel as to abandon someone like my mother."
"My mother didn't agree to anyone. She just kept emphasizing that she was married, not divorced, and certainly not widowed. She had a husband."
"What's the use of an Alpha like this? He's worse off dead than alive," Qi Fengling sneered at the right moment. "I don't want to acknowledge him. The neighbors are speculating that my biological father might be a powerful man who toyed with a beautiful Omega but refused to take responsibility, so I had to keep him outside."
"He's also very stingy. They say he's a real-life version of Grandet," Qi Fengling laughed when he said this. "He didn't spend a penny and didn't even dare to show his face."
"Because of my mother's insistence, those suitors started out competing with each other, offering free food and drinks and vying for work. Later, they kept an eye on who would first capture my biological father and bring him to my mother to kneel and admit his fault. But that coward never showed up, as if he had completely severed my mother and me from his world."
"On my sixteenth birthday, my mother disappeared. Everyone said she couldn't bear the pain of being abandoned and jumped into the river to commit suicide, but I don't believe it. My mother looked weak, but she had a strong character. He was not that kind of person."
"One of my mother's suitors was a policeman. He found one of my mother's belongings. He found it privately while searching on the interprovincial bridge. It was a birthday card my mother had written to me. The handwriting was very sloppy and it only had one sentence."
"Son, Mom will wait for you in another world."
"He told me that the tide was high that day and there were undercurrents in the river, so it would be difficult to retrieve it, but he would definitely help me, he promised me."
"I was in great pain and despair at the time, so I started writing novels to vent my emotions. Later, I met you. Before that, I felt disgusted by the world, but your appearance made me feel that perhaps I was destined to meet you."
"......" But I'm hurting you too. Su Liu unconsciously tightened his knuckles. He looked around and said something else, "How come you have a cousin?"
"My mother sponsored a female student with the money her suitors forced into her card. She was a university student from the mountains and lived with us while she was studying. My cousin was a child she had because she was bullied by an old man from the same village before she met my mother. Once her life became stable, she brought her son over."
"My mother adopted her as her sister and even found someone to help transfer her household registration here. Her child then became my cousin."
"She is a miserable person with a tenacity that has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, but her son has a deep-rooted inferior nature, which is very interesting," Qi Fengling said here, and seemed to feel embarrassed to speak ill of others to Su Liu, so he stopped talking.
"If she's so stubborn, why does she live with you?" Su Liu's eyes revealed disapproval. "What major did she study? Has she done an employment risk assessment? Can she afford the student loan repayments? Has she considered finding a part-time job during the holidays?"
"Su Liu, human cognition doesn't arrive overnight. Suffering is suffering. It never makes anyone successful, it only destroys them," Qi Fengling sighed. "My mother sponsored her after discussing it with her suitors. Those Alphas were very happy because they could talk to my mother every week. It seemed like the money wasn't wasted; it was doing good things."
"Character is not that important. She may have been a little nervous at first, but later on, she got used to it. But it's not her fault," Qi Fengling's face showed the kind of pure and untainted tranquility of a saintly father, revealing the kindness in his bones.
"Human nature is complex, with weaknesses but also brilliance," Qi Fengling said. "At least after my mother left me, she, as my temporary guardian, resolutely notarized the apartment she left me."
"She said that she was a lonely star, and leaving good things to her would be like throwing them into the trash can, and their value would depreciate."
"I was a little surprised. I was already prepared to sleep on the streets," Qi Fengling laughed again. "After all, my mother once said that she would take me back. She said that we were just traveling here. The house, savings, and everything else are meaningless. It's better to leave them to those who need them more."
"But..." Qi Fengling came closer and leaned weakly on Su Liu's shoulder, "I didn't expect him to leave me so soon."
Feeling sorry for Alpha who would become unhappy, Su Liu's body stiffened, but she did not push Qi Fengling away.
Qi Fengling's confession made Su Liu think of himself.
He is different from Qi Fengling.
He hated his parents, he hated them.
He hated them for not loving him but giving birth to him. After discovering that he was precocious and had no problem living independently, they seemed to be relieved, as if they had discarded an object they no longer wanted.
Su Liu's parents are both aristocrats. Their circle is not large. Her father is introverted but domineering, and her mother is cold and strong. Both of them have requirements for their partner's appearance, so they pick and choose in the circle of people with similar net worth, and finally find each other.
Marriage is like a carefully planned business. Their personalities are similar, which obviously does not make them suitable. However, they both need to be good-looking and have individual personalities, have similar values, and be well-matched in terms of social status and resources. They both know very well that there are not many such options.
When Su Liu was five years old, the two had a big fight, slammed the door and left one after another, both going to their lovers with the same bad smell.
When they came back a month later, the two of them had completely stopped pretending. They signed the contract and shook hands with each other in a friendly manner, as if they were negotiating a business deal. One of them politely called him "Mr. Su", and the other replied with a hypocritical smile, "Ms. Liu".
That was not a divorce agreement. The contract was about the subsequent arrangements for jointly raising Su Liu.
They will not divorce.
But they tacitly chose an open marriage.
But Su Liu was not grateful to them. He felt that it was a betrayal to him.
Later, when he grew up, if he was their friend, he could understand them. He had the material things he wanted and the love he wanted. His life was complete. What more could he ask for?
But he is not.
He is their child.
They are the only invisible victims in their fulfilling lives.
He couldn't forgive them. What they did to him was like telling him in disguise that he was not born for love, he was just a commodity.
The first kind of love he felt when he came into this world was cold and calculating.
The housekeeper held his little hand and watched his parents leave. He had a blank expression on his face and burst into tears when he returned to his bedroom.
The villa was empty. When the weather was good, he would occasionally sit on the swing in the garden. No matter how the nannies coaxed him, his heart was like an isolated island.
The house was too big and too empty, and he couldn't stand it.
Later he moved to a small townhouse with a shop on the street.
The bodyguard disguised himself as the owner of a convenience store on the first floor. The other empty rooms upstairs and downstairs were also occupied by Su Liu's people.
They each have their own responsibilities.
All of a sudden, the building was packed. The clothing that used to take up an entire building was now occupied by only a few rooms. The bedrooms were small, the bathrooms were narrow, and there was no courtyard. Each household only planted some potted plants or vegetable seeds on the balcony on the second floor. At first, he was a little uncomfortable, but later everything became interesting and lively.
As spring passed and autumn came, Su Liu also went to college.
One time when he was shopping in the mall with his roommate Beta, he ran into his father.
The father took his lover to a luxury store.
The female Omega looked pure and well-behaved, and was holding a naughty five-year-old girl in her hand. She was an Alpha.
My father dressed like an ordinary rich second-generation man. He bought a bag for his lover, but his lover refused to accept it. She really didn't want it because she thought it was too expensive. She had her own insistence and was not a green tea person.
How could she know that this kind of bag was just a sprinkle of water for aristocrats like them, just like a bar of soap that his roommate picked up in the supermarket, which was really cheap for his father.
It's the kind of cheap thing where you don't even remember the breakup happened.
But since he couldn't marry this beloved woman, his father could only compensate her in a secular sense.
This kind of compensation cannot be too much, otherwise it will cause trouble.
When Su Liu and her father's eyes met inadvertently, they both turned their heads away tacitly, pretending not to know each other.
"Dad," the little girl called Su Liu's father, "I want to go to the zoo. I don't want to go shopping with you guys anymore. Let the driver pick me up."
"Didn't we just go yesterday?" His father bargained with his little daughter in a tone he had never used before with Su Liu, "No, you are an Alpha, you are not allowed to act like a spoiled child."
"If you don't let me go, I'm going to squeeze in among you at night," the little girl said provocatively, her hands on her hips like a little adult.
"You unfilial daughter," his father scolded with a smile, his face showing an open-mindedness nourished by happiness, "Then call him yourself."
The little girl made a "yeah" gesture and waved to someone not far behind her. A bodyguard disguised as a passerby took out a small pink and blue cell phone from his pocket and handed it to her.
It is a customized model for children.
Su Liu took a deep breath and didn't want to look anymore, so she hurriedly pulled her roommate into the elevator.
Later, after some time, we were in the same mall again.
This time, he met his mother by chance.
And her lover.
She is a gentle and quiet female Alpha.
They held hands and ate ice cream cones that were a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
The mother's face was like a girl in love, overflowing with youthful energy and sincere love. She saw him startled for a moment out of the corner of her eye, then turned away quickly.
His mother did not give him another sibling with her lover. This might be the only thing she could use to show off her love for Su Liu to his father.
Her lover was not so easily fooled.
"What's wrong?" the female Alpha said, "Why did that little Omega just now look so much like you? Could it be that you gave birth to my illegitimate child outside?"
"Don't talk nonsense. What have I done since we've been together that I haven't told you?" The mother choked back, "There are so many people in the world, it's normal for some to be similar."
The female Alpha smiled and said nothing more. She just put her arm around her mother's shoulders instead of holding her mother's hand as she walked.
Female Alphas are generally more gentle and considerate than male Alphas.
At first glance, he's the type that a strong Omega like my mother would like.
His parents had surprisingly similar tastes.
They all like this kind of fresh, natural, gentle and tranquil appearance.
They are indeed the same kind of people.
I can't be like them.
I don't want to be like them.
Su Liu has been brainwashing himself. He doesn't like Qi Fengling. He can't possibly like this type. His taste is different from his parents'.
But……
He is indeed their child.
He retorted, pushed Qi Fengling away, and used many harsh words to belittle him. Was he subconsciously projecting his hatred for his parents onto this person?
His roommate, who later became Qi Fengling's editor, once said aggrievedly, "You don't usually talk like this. How could you say such outrageous things to him? Su Liu, you've changed."
No, I can't admit it, I can't give in.
If I admit it, it would be to my younger self.
The lonely self who cried herself to sleep.
The painful self who is like an isolated island.
Another one.
Deep.
betray.
The memories end here.
Su Liu came back to his senses and looked at Qi Fengling with a complex look of love and hate.
"Su Liu, look," Qi Fengling looked at the starry sky.
Su Liu looked up.
The purple-blue background is dotted with brilliant stars.
At this moment, they flashed at the same time.
"Su Liu, can you tell me about yourself?" Qi Fengling said softly.
Gentle female Alphas are common, but male Alphas as gentle and handsome as Qi Fengling are really rare.
He used to take a second look at this type of female Alpha, but he didn't expect his roommate to remember her. It seems that his type of person is obvious to others.
"You want to ask why I pushed you away even though I clearly liked you?" Su Liu said, "Is that so?"
Qi Fengling's face flushed red after his secret thoughts were exposed, like porcelain washed by rain. "Su Liu, can you tell me?"
"There are three reasons," Su Liu said with ease, "I don't want to tell you for now."
Qi Fengling seemed to have not expected that there were three huge mountains between him and Su Liu, and he was stunned for a moment.
After a long pause, Qi Fengling said aggrievedly, "Do you have Bai Yueguang in your heart?"
"I guess so. That's one of the reasons," Su Liu laughed. He watched Qi Fengling's face, as calm as an ink painting, slowly reveal shock, struggle, and the pain of a loss. He leaned over and kissed Qi Fengling, "Why do you look like you're about to cry?"
As soon as Su Liu finished speaking, Qi Fengling really started crying.
Bai Yueguang's killing power is so great that it can kill without bloodshed.
Su Liu's white moonlight, Qi Fengling might have already lost just by standing there without saying a word.
"Really?" Qi Fengling looked straight at Su Liu, with a few tears on his thick eyelashes.
He is so handsome, Su Liu thought to himself.
"It was my childhood friend," Su Liu said, lost in memory. "I was only three years old at that time."
"Three years old?" Qi Fengling gritted his teeth secretly, "It's too early, Su Liu, how can you...you are still a child, how can you get married secretly?"
"But I miss him very much," Su Liu said seriously, "Although we were only friends for about half a year and I never saw him again, the things he left me are very precious."
"What did that bastard do to you?" Qi Fengling was jealous.
"He is younger than me, what can he do to me? Don't think too much, I don't want to continue this topic," Su Liu frowned. This was a secret he had buried deep in his heart for many years. If Qi Fengling hadn't mentioned it, he would not tell anyone.
That person is not from their world.
He is.
yes……
Su Liu thought of his personal panel of the Spark City auxiliary system.
[Talent Skill: Disaster Revelation]
That was not an ability he possessed only in this alien world. It was a parting gift that person gave him, the maximum level 7.
later……
Then something happened.
A trace of pain flashed across Su Liu's face, but she quickly pretended to be relaxed and said, "Qi Fengling, I'm hungry."
Qi Fengling first looked at Su Liu quietly for a while, then sighed and kissed her.
Su Liu fell asleep in this gentle and affectionate kiss.
Half asleep and half awake, he felt Qi Fengling wrapping him in a smock and picking him up, then slowing down his pace and walking down the slope.
The wind brought up a few slight sighs.
