Liu Jingcheng was eager to see Hua Xiyu at this moment. He had many questions to ask her. He ran to the stable hut like a gust of wind, but saw the woman sitting on the roof enjoying the cool breeze.

He hid himself in the shadows, just watching quietly, seeing her focused expression, watching her happy and sad, startled, that kind of unbearable and indescribable emotion churned in his chest, growing rapidly like bamboo shoots after the rain.

He waved to A Tu who was hiding in the dark, indicating that they could leave. He originally just wanted to see her from a distance, but for some reason he wanted to get closer. Then he landed lightly beside Hua Xiyu, and Hua Xiyu didn't even notice his arrival.

By the time she felt someone around her, he was already sitting next to her.

"Hey, who are you and how did you get here?" She looked over in horror, but the man had no ill intentions, so she let down her guard. In such a lonely night, in this strange time and space, friends are so precious.

"You forgot me so quickly? I came to you to take responsibility." Liu Jingcheng laughed secretly. It's only been a few days, and you don't recognize me anymore? Who said that he would take responsibility? Is it possible that Mei Chengjing is not attractive at all like this, or is it that the mask is too ugly for her to remember? Then she will no longer need the identity of Mei Chengjing in the future.

The originally good mood suddenly became a little bad.

"Responsible? What responsibility do I have to take? I didn't do anything to you." This ancient man must be mentally ill. It seems that it is not a good idea to be friends with a sick person.

"Mei Chengjing, I really don't remember. Okay, just don't default on your debt." He was a little depressed. She seemed to have no memory of what happened on the mountain.

"Tsk..., when have I ever defaulted on a debt?" she muttered to herself. Once she had promised something, she would always keep her promise.

Then he looked at Liu Jingcheng and said, "By the way, where did you come from? Why are you as silent as a ghost?"

"It's your own fault for not being alert. I was sitting next to you, but you didn't notice. If it was an enemy, you wouldn't even know how you died." He was a little angry. This woman had no alertness at all and anyone could get close to her.

"I don't even know any of you when I come here, so where would my enemies come from?" She suddenly stopped talking, remembering that she was kidnapped and forced to die by people from Washington a few days ago, but now she has escaped.

She looked at the sky. It was pitch black and there was no moon. Only the sky was dotted with stars, sparkling like sapphires. The only thing that remained unchanged was the distant starry sky, but it was not the same sky.

There was a curfew in Huicheng at this moment, and there were very few lights in the city.

"Aren't you from South Vietnam?" he suddenly asked.

"Of course not. I came to your Nanyue country by accident. I have no friends or relatives. How pitiful." She smiled and stretched out her right hand. Liu Jingcheng didn't understand what she meant and thought she wanted to read her palm again, so he stretched out his left hand to her. Hua Xiyu shook off his left hand, grabbed his right hand and shook it hard, and shook it twice: "Hello, nice to meet you"

"In my hometown, it's called a handshake. It's a courtesy and a sign of friendship," she explained.

"Oh, this etiquette is very special." Liu Jingcheng looked at his hands. There was still her warmth in his palms. It was warm and soft like the touch of boneless fingers, which made him stunned for a while.

"Where is your hometown?" he asked.

"If I say I'm in Ningcheng, would you believe it?" Hua Xiyu said helplessly.

"Do not believe"

"I don't believe it either, hahaha, forget it, let's not talk about this." She laughed wantonly, took her thermos, unscrewed the lid and turned it over to make a small cup, poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

"I don't have anything to treat you. I just made some tea and I haven't drunk it yet. Please have some."

"You...brewed...tea..." He took the exquisite little cup, raised it to his lips, and sniffed it first. A strong, warm tea aroma drifted into his nose. This way of drinking was exactly the same as the tea brewed by Zhai Liangyu's restaurant. It seemed that they really came from the same place.

"Yes, Lu'an Guapian. Sometimes when I'm tired from driving, I need to drink some tea to refresh myself. Green tea is the most refreshing," she said casually.

"Do you like Huicheng?" He asked gently, stroking her cup, sipping her tea, thinking about the new term 'refreshing while driving', not understanding what it meant and being too embarrassed to ask.

"I like it, of course I like it." She felt that she had studied in Huicheng for four years and had already developed a deep affection for this city.

Chaoji beef brisket on Huidong Street, spicy crabs at Wuhu Villa, Haidilao, Youchadian, Friends, copycat sushi, domestic French cuisine, Chinese foie gras with red wine, my god, I'm drooling just thinking about it.

Futiandi Shopping Plaza on Renmin Road has a wide variety of products. You can buy anything you want. 3D and 4D cinemas, stadiums, swimming pools...

How can you not like Huicheng like this?

There was silence.

She was looking at the sky and he was looking at her.

"Look at the sky full of stars. Have you ever counted how many stars there are in the sky?" Hua Xiyu didn't look at him and just kept talking to himself.

"Have you counted them?" Have you counted them? I don't think I'm stupid enough to count the stars. Those old bastards in the Imperial Observatory should have counted them.

"I've counted them, but the results were different each time." The days when I accompanied my heartbroken classmates in counting stars flashed through my mind. I have accompanied both male and female classmates, but I was unable to experience their feelings. I could only silently accompany them in counting stars.

"How silly." He tapped her head with his finger, and counted more than once.

The action was a bit ambiguous, so she dodged it for a moment, but there was nothing special about it, so she didn't avoid it.

"How many stars should I count tonight?" He was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but point to the stars in the sky and count them.

"Hand in hand, one step, two, three, four steps... Looking up at the sky, looking at the stars, one, two, three, four... connecting into a line..." She hummed softly as a response to him.

"The Huicheng on the other side of the stars is full of high-rise buildings, with roads extending in all directions and streets full of shops. The lights are on all night, neon lights are flashing, and it is noisy and bustling. At this time, the nightlife has just begun..." Hua Xiyu was thinking about the Huicheng that he was familiar with and loved.

She suddenly realized that these scenes had always been in her mind and she had never forgotten them. The only thing she had forgotten was herself.

"How do you know?" Liu Jingcheng turned to look at her, with doubt in his inquiring eyes. Which side is over there with the stars? This was the first time he heard this.

"I just know that when I find the way home, I will take you with me and show you around, and then you will understand." She suddenly smiled. Although it was dark and he couldn't see, he seemed to feel the brightness and smiled unconsciously.

For the first time in more than 20 years, a ray of sunshine came into his heart. He suddenly felt a sense of fear and wanted to escape, but he was reluctant to do so.

If we calculate based on the generation gap of five years, the gap between the two of them is as big as a galaxy. They were unable to find a common topic for a while. They drank up the tea and chatted until they ran out of things to talk about.

Feeling sleepy, Hua Xiyu yawned and looked at his watch. It was past ten o'clock.

"I'm leaving. I'll come see you when I have time." Liu Jingcheng also saw her watch. Zhai Liangyu said so much today, but she didn't say what the watch was used for. He didn't understand why she always looked at it. It seemed to be something she loved very much. At that time, she said it was a Rolex. Was it given by someone with the surname Lao? Was it given by her lover?

I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if I was hit hard by a heavy hammer.

Seeing her yawn, he stood up and left tactfully. Hua Xiyu's voice floated behind him: "Thank you for chatting with me."

"I'm going to start living in ancient times seriously," Hua Xiyu thought.

As if she had completed an important task, she returned to the house contentedly, washed her face, brushed her teeth, turned on the alarm on her mobile phone, and then went to bed.
