The joyous seafood festival celebration came to an end at around ten o’clock. Wen Shan was having fun and enjoying herself.
The villagers took the trash out with them when they left, so it was easier for the host to clean the place up.
When the beach finally became quiet again, Wen Shan stopped smiling and sighed.
Silence filled the air as if nothing had happened here just now.
Wen Shan let out a long sigh as she stared at the people walking away, then smiled sweetly as she turned around. “Your piano playing is amazing.”
It was such a lame thing to say when you ran out of words.
Nalan Chunbo got up from the piano bench and stared down at Wen Shan who was standing below him.
The moon looked beautiful tonight. It was so perfect, he let himself imagine the impossible.
Perhaps, he could…
“Let’s take a walk over there,” said Nalan Chunbo, leading the way to the beach.
Wen Shan’s heart sank with worry. ‘I am finished!’ She screamed silently. Would this man confront her again and forbid her from following him?
She did not even get angry at his cruel words, did she?
Wen Shan followed him carefully, but he never looked back and walked along the beach slowly.
The moon cast its white-silver glow on them, creating two long shadows on the beach.
Wen Shan was cheekily stepping on his shadow from behind as if it could calm her.
“Wen Shan.”
“Ah!”
Wen Shan was surprised at being called out all of a sudden. She quickly looked up at Nalan Chunbo. He rarely called her name, but it sounded lovely whenever she heard him saying it.
She wondered what he was going to tell her this time.
Nalan Chunbo turned to face her. She looked a bit nervous in front of him.
The moonlight was so beautiful that he struggled to say what he wanted to.
Nalan Chunbo was thinking that perhaps, even after many years, he would never forget this moment.
He stood under the beautiful moonlight and saw his sunshine.
Yes, he saw his sunshine. She was like the sun that brightened everything around her.
“Why do you like me so much?” He blurted out, then hesitated. Some words were stuck in his mouth and he was reluctant to say them. “Have you ever thought that apart from the media reports, you do not really know me that well?”
Wen Shan tilted her head in confusion. She hadn’t expected this instead of ‘don’t follow me anymore.’
Wen Shan’s face brightened instantly. With a wide smile, she counted her fingers one by one. “I know you well. I know what your favourite food is. I know what clothes you prefer wearing. I know you can play the piano well. I also know that you are a good cook. I actually know more things about you than the media. Doesn’t that count?”
The last sentence was said so softly he almost missed it.
Perhaps she was afraid of being rejected again.
Nalan Chunbo opened his mouth slightly but no words came out.
He could not deny it. She had mentioned so many facts that he himself might not even know. How could this be considered as not knowing him well?
However, she did not know about his dark secrets.
“I don’t know why I like you. I started to develop feelings for you when I watched your online lecture for the first time. That time, I liked you because you were handsome and I could only hide my feelings. After that, when I finally met you in person and got to know that you were Brother Gu’s relative, I was delighted,” Wen Shan confessed while staring at Nalan Chunbo with sparkling eyes.
