You Are Deep in The Stars

“Don’t think too much.” Before he passed out, Han Zhuo finally let go of his arm. He scraped his lover’s slightly swollen lips with his fingertips and rubbed them pitifully. “You’re so sure I will definitely leave you?”

“Do you still want to take me away?” Bai Xi asked. His voice had become weaker due to the ravage he had just experienced, which undoubtedly aroused Han Zhuo’s deeper desire for protection. He smiled and shook his head. “I can’t take you away, but you can try to stay with me.”

Bai Xi said nothing. He had never thought that Han Zhuo would take the initiative to stay on Earth if the plan was successful. That sounded a bit fanciful.

“Have more confidence in yourself,” Han Zhuo added. “At least at this stage, your position in my heart is irreplaceable.”

This was a very bad love sentence. Bai Xi was a little dissatisfied, so he bit him hard on the chest. Han Zhuo frowned slightly but did not push the person away. Instead, he tightened his arms even more and allowed him to vent his anger in his arms.

Half an hour later, Bai Xi grabbed the other person’s pyjamas and fell asleep reluctantly, but he was indeed very sleepy. He was so sleepy that he even forgot another important thing until Mrs. Zhou called at noon the next day. Then he suddenly remembered that he had another mission.

“Uh… yes, Chunchun caught a cold yesterday, so I didn’t tell him,” Bai Xi said. “Right now, after Chunchun finishes this meeting, I will ask him what he thinks.”

Liu Chunchun stood next to him holding the document, a little confused. He asked warily, “Brother Bai, you’re not going to introduce me to a girlfriend, are you?”

“You have a beautiful idea,” Bai Xi put down the phone and motioned for him to sit across from him. “This is from Zhou Jing’s mother.”

Liu Chunchun nodded, not too surprised. Bai Xi had already told him about Zhou Jing’s kidnapping and rescue.

“I went to visit Aunt Zhou two days ago. She has many photo albums at home, all of which are your photos, as well as some messy newspaper clippings, and even group assignments,” Bai Xi asked. “How are you? Are you moved?”

“I’m quite touched, but looking at your expression, it doesn’t look like there’s anything good going on,” Liu Chunchun answered truthfully.

Han Zhuo leaned against the window and laughed.

Bai Xi glared at him, then continued speaking to Liu Chunchun pleasantly. “Aunt Zhou didn’t let me tell you originally, but since you already know about the existence of superpowers, I will tell the truth. Zhou Jing was injected by someone. Due to the drugs and her own genes, her bones have now grown to about two and a half meters tall.”

Liu Chunchun was shocked. “What should we do?”

“The best doctor is treating her, the director of the Beidou Research Institute as I mentioned last time,” Bai Xi said. “She is currently in good condition and has at least a 70% chance of recovery, but the treatment process is long and painful. So, Aunt Zhou wants you to encourage Zhou Jing through the ward door and just say a few words, okay?”

“Of course, I can comfort my classmate. I’ve always felt sorry for her,” Liu Chunchun said. “But are you sure she needs my comfort? In case Zhou Jing has already made up her mind to give up on me, and I run over to show my care, won’t that be counterproductive?”

Bai Xi shook his head. “She has hundreds of photos and newspaper clippings of you hidden at home. I don’t think there is any possibility of a clean break.”

“Then… what if she… me again?” This sentence sounded a bit narcissistic, but it did exist. Liu Chunchun quickly added, “I don’t mind acting as a boyfriend for two or three years across the ward door, but won’t that make me a bit like an emotional liar? And after Zhou Jing recovers, the first thing she will do is face the fake boyfriend, which sounds really bad.”

“Ahem.” Bai Xi thought for a while, then took a step back and said, “Can you at least visit her once? Then we will say that you’ve gone abroad and will use mobile phones and emails to communicate in the future. Please pay attention to your sense of proportion. Zhou Jing is so smart. She might stalk you a second time.”

“…Okay, Brother Bai, I’ll listen to you,” Liu Chunchun agreed. “When?”

Bai Xi said, “Tonight.”

“Tonight?” Liu Chunchun shook his head decisively. “No.”

“Why?” Bai Xi asked. “Do you have an appointment?”

Liu Chunchun pointed to the office next door — because he was worried that Wang Yuanchen would think wildly at home alone, he had come to work today with his large naughty child, and at this moment, he was settling on the sofa eating five-spice fried melon seeds.

“Would Mr. Wang object to you comforting Zhou Jing?” Xiao Bai always pretended to be innocent.

Liu Chunchun was indeed questioned. He scratched his head and said, “Huh?”
