Chapter 264: 257: Xie Shang is so touched (first update) Chapter 264: 257: Xie Shang is so touched (first update) Before his phone turned off, Xie Shang’s unfinished words were: “Just wait, you’ll see the stars.”

The ice flowers on her eyelashes blurred her vision, and Wen Changling could not see clearly into the distance, her voice trembling from the cold: “Stars.”

Is that you?

“It’s me.”

Xie Shang’s voice was firm and strong, cutting through the wind and snow as he walked up to her.

It wasn’t an illusion—her star had really come.

“Are you scared being alone?”

When asked if one is scared at such a time, it makes one vulnerable.

“Scared.”

Her eyes were very red.

Xie Shang wiped the ice and snow from her eyelashes: “Have you been crying?”

“No, it’s the wind.”

The path downhill now bore an additional set of footprints belonging to Xie Shang, right beside the ones left by Wen Changling that were now barely visible under the snow. Looking down revealed a very long, steep slope; the snow fell boldly, the wind seemed keen on sweeping away anyone present, and not even animals dared to venture out. Yet, she was no longer afraid.

“Weren’t you in the capital?”

“I couldn’t stop worrying about you. I booked a flight for this morning, but it was delayed due to the weather,” Xie Shang said as he took a waterproof down jacket and a pair of boots suitable for walking in the snow from his backpack. “Change into this coat first.”

Wen Changling’s coat wasn’t waterproof and had long been soaked by the snow, making it heavy on her. She tugged at the zipper two times, but her fingers had been frozen for too long to pull it down.
