She went on unfolding the other stars, but 999 was the biggest number among them .
So… that was probably the last one .
999 stars… what did it mean?
An idea struck her . She clicked open Qixia’s BBS and searched the key words “lucky star” and “999 . ”
The search came back with a bunch of posts and she opened the one with the most replies .
“[Wishing Post: True love will live happily ever after!]
“Our aim: make 999 lucky stars and write a romantic line in every one of them .
“Ten years from now, if you’re still together, show him or her the stars and tell your other half: you and my youth are the only things I will never let down . ”
The first few replies included those declaring they were the first to comment or laughing at the post, calling it childish . Further down, some began to post their sincere replies .
The one with the longest relationship had actually replied to her own post ten years later!
“Aww, I gave those stars to the man I idolized! Teehee, he’s my husband and the father of my child now~ Thank you for creating this post~ He was very touched and we’re very happy together now~”
As expected, most people had failed .
An Xiaxia scrolled down . She spotted a familiar ID after going through about 1000 replies .
[Lord Xiaxia’s Dear Wife]: It’s childish, but I’m willing to try .
The creator of the post replied: Teehee… Your ID is so unique~ Keep it up~ I hope you’ll still be with your Lord Xiaxia ten years from now~
He wrote: Thank you for your good wishes . We will .
An Xiaxia stopped scrolling down .
She had given him this ID back then and Sheng Yize had said in his haughty manner that he was a man of principles and would never use such a stupid ID .
But he had used it .
An Xiaxia touched her cheeks . They were wet .
Wiping her face with the back of her hands, she quickly “destroyed the evidence,” as she folded the stars back up .
However, the paper slips had gone limp after so many years and it was quite difficult to fold them back . An Xiaxia worked attentively, until a lazy voice startled her . “It’s already so late . Why are you still up?”
An Xiaxia jumped and knocked the glass jar off the table . It smashed to pieces right away and the stars rolled around all over the floor .
She had been caught red-handed!
“I – I… I didn’t do anything,” An Xiaxia lied weakly .
Sheng Yize looked at the mess she had made and it took him a while to realize what those things were…
Pink suffused his cheeks as he yelled, “Dummy! You shouldn’t have touched my things!”
An Xiaxia jabbed her fingertips together . “Sorry… I didn’t mean to…”
Sheng Yize glared at her . His cheeks turned redder when he spotted the unfolded stars in front of her . “Did – did you read them?”
“Um… just a few of them . ”
Phew… good .
Sheng Yize cleared his throat . “Well, that’s not mine . I’m just keeping it for someone else… Don’t get the wrong idea!”
An Xiaxia gingerly raised a piece of paper . “But this one says ‘An Xiaxia, I belong with you like Coke belongs with fried chicken…’”
Sheng Yize’s long arm reached out as he snatched the paper away . Crumpling it up in his palm, he struggled to maintain his composure . “So many people can be called that in this world . Don’t flatter yourself . ”
“Oh…”
“Wait, what’s with that attitude you’re giving me?” Sheng Yize eyed her suspiciously . An Xiaxia gave him a cunning smile . “Sheng Yize, you’re the dumbest tsundere in the world!”
The bunny had finally graduated… She was a little fox now~
She had sharp eyes now . How could she miss the fact that Sheng Yize… was trying to cover it up?
