You Are Deep in The Stars

Before five o’clock in the afternoon, Aunt Li called specifically and gave repeated orders not to allow Mr. Han to buy any more junk food for the young master, including to hand cakes, fried chicken drumsticks, spicy hotpot, and grilled cold noodles.

With the phone on speakerphone, Bai Xi laid on the desk and smiled sullenly.

“Be grateful at the misfortune.” Han Zhuo hung up the phone and said with a smile, “Let’s go, no junk food today, let’s go home and have a big meal.”

Although there were only five people in the family, Aunt Li still cook a lot, filling the table with a lot of dishes, all of which were Bai Xi’s favorite flavors since childhood. The cake was a pink rose cream heart, which was extremely romantic. In fact, it seemed that it should be regarded as a wedding cake, but because Mrs. Bai liked it very much, so no one raised any objections. Just put candles in it and it was delicious.

“Gift, gift.” After making his wish, Bai Xi consciously stretched out his hand.

“No.” Bai Boyang replied.

“Dad…” Bai Xi held him hostage from behind, “Hurry up, or I will file a complaint with my mother and accuse you of hiding private money.”

Mrs. Bai immediately asked alertly, “Where is it hidden?”

“Don’t listen to this little bastard’s nonsense.” Bai Boyang cursed with a smile and stood up to take down a stack of contracts. “A birthday gift is also a reward for your hard work during this period.”

“Thank you, dad.” Bai Xi put on his birthday hat on his head, “I will definitely continue to work hard!”

Mrs. Bai’s gift was a signature pen with a blue gem set in a silver-black metal rod and Bai Xi’s initials engraved in French round letters. The meaning was very beautiful. It wished him smoother signing of contracts in the future. Aunt Li’s gift was relatively large. It was a new quilt flown from the northwest by her daughter. It was warm and thick. Apart from the red and green colors, which were a little ugly, it had basically no flaws. When he laid down, he wished he could sleep for three days.

As for Mr. Han’s gift, Bai Xi held the exquisite blue velvet box in his hand: “I’m going to go upstairs and open it later.”

Mrs. Bai smiled and said: “So mysterious? It seems that Xiao Han gave a great gift. You can’t bear to show it to us.”

Aunt Li felt alarm bells ringing in her heart, and felt that Mr. Han was really cunning.

“Then I’ll go upstairs first, good night.” Bai Xi pulled off the napkin, seemingly impatient – in fact, he was quite impatient, because this was a gift from another planet, which he had never had before.

.

“Slow down.” Han Zhuo held him while entering the bedroom, “Be careful of falling.”

“What’s inside?” Bai Xi sat on the carpet and asked again, “Can I make a wish on the gift?”

“Of course. Yes.” Han Zhuo nodded, “But you must say it loudly and three times, otherwise it will not work.”

“Really?” Bai Xi questioned.

Mr. Han’s expression remained unchanged: “Of course, why would I lie to you?”

“… Come on, I don’t believe it.” Bai Xi did not fall for it in the end, and despised Mr. Han’s bad trick.

Han Zhuo raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

The ribbons and velvet boxes fell to the ground one by one, and in the end only the beautiful little planet remained in Bai Xi’s palm. As the angle changed, each tiny gem reflected the dazzling light.

“Do you like it?” Han Zhuo asked.

“This is…your hometown?” Bai Xi couldn’t take his eyes away and was filled with wonder. He wasn’t even willing to speak loudly.

“It’s the hometown in my imagination,” Han Zhuo said as he sat next to him. “When I was eight to ten years old, I spent two years finishing it, and then repaired it many times before it looked like it does now.”

“Such a precious gift,” Bai Xi hesitated after hearing this, “Are you sure you wanted to give it to me?”

Han Zhuo nodded, “I am sure.”

“Okay,” Bai Xi solemnly promised. “I promise that I will protect your little planet well.”

“It’s still early. Do you want to have another drink?” Han Zhuo asked again, “The wine I just got is probably pretty good, but it’s okay if you don’t want to drink. A good mood is enough.”

Bai Xi agreed: “Yes, I want it!”

The wine was clear in color, sweet in the mouth, and had a strong aroma.

Bai Xi clinked glasses with him and thought to himself in the clear voice, this was really a wonderful night.

Because there were good wines and good little planet.

And the very nice Mr. Han.

.

At the same time, in a high-rise apartment in the suburbs, Zhao Xiaojuan was sitting on the sofa, lost in thought alone. She didn’t look happy at all. In fact, Wu Zigang had promised her in the afternoon that he would help protect the Zhao couple, and also promised to provide the best care so the baby could be born healthily. Logically speaking, everything was fine, but for some reason, she always felt the conspiracies and dangers hidden here were no less than those in the villa.

The table was filled with information about the underground warehouse, which was indeed cruel and bloody. But before she even had time to investigate Huang Jingyuan’s deception, she had already relied on her mother’s instinct to think of the child in her belly – if those cruel experiments were real, after being put on the test bed countless times and injected with various drugs, could she really have enough energy to give birth to a healthy child?

“Xiaojuan.” Wu Zigang knocked on the door, “It’s time to rest.”

“Okay.” Zhao Xiaojuan came to his senses, “I’m going to sleep now.”

The footsteps at the door gradually faded away, but seemed to leave a lingering shadow. Everything in the room was shrouded in black haze.

It was bitingly cold.

.

At three o’clock in the morning, Bai Xi yawned and took out his mobile phone and called Liu Chunchun.

Liu Chunchun was dizzy and weakly condemned. It was still so early, and he was no match for the ruthless capitalist.

“Tell me,” Bai Xi asked sleepily, “Is Han Zhuo good?”

“Ah?” Liu Chunchun didn’t hear clearly at all.

“Good?!” Bai Xi raised his voice.

“Excellent!” Liu Chunchun patted his thigh and said, “Brother Bai, are you drunk?”

Bai Xi loosened his hands in a daze and fell into a very comfortable sleep.

Well, it was very good.

Liu Chunchun waited for a full minute, listening to the long breathing coming from the phone, and couldn’t help but burst into tears. He would rather be summoned by the ruthless capitalist to work overtime, because at least he would still be able to get wages, instead he got frightening call at midnight, just to show off that his bodyguard plus driver Mr. Han was very good!?

‘Is there any basic humanity left?’
