The sunset here was earlier, and the meal time was deliberately delayed. They only had dinner at seven o’clock. The electricity in Nepal would usually stop at night. After dinner, Beauty Wu returned to her room early to take a shower. Just as she was about to lie down and sleep, Wei Shuyi gave her a down jacket and said to her, “Get up. We’re going to stay outside tonight.”


  “Huh?”


  Beauty Wu was shocked.

  “Why do you want to stay outside?”


  “Let’s go see the stars.”


  Hearing this, Beauty Wu couldn’t wait to leave. She quickly got up, put on her clothes, carried her tent bag, took her tools and precious items, and left the hotel with Wei Shuyi. Wei Shuyi set up the camp on a high slope, and the two of them worked together to build the tent.

  Sitting at the entrance of the tent, Wei Shuyi poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Beauty Wu.

  Beauty Wu leaned her head on his shoulder.

  It was still early and the stars had yet to appear. It would probably be around 11 pm when that happened. Beauty Wu pinched Wei Shuyi’s arm and said, “You’ve become very thin these few days. Are you not used to the weather in Tibet?”


  “A little.”


  “I’ll make delicious food for you when we get back. I’ll nourish your body.”


  “Okay.”


  “How long will this take? It’s so boring.”


  Wei Shuyi tilted his head and looked at her. Seeing that she was really bored, he started to play with the stones on the ground. He suddenly said, “Beauty, tell me about you. When you were young, when you were studying, when you were working… Anything.”


  “You want to know?”


  “Yeah.”


  “Fine.”


  Beauty Wu thought about it and thought of a few interesting things, so she picked a few to tell him. “I heard my grandfather talk about something that happened not long after I was born. When I was born, my face was already big and I could eat well. When I was only three months, I was already sixteen pounds. At that time, my mother and grandfather both said that I was a little fatty and called me a big-faced baby. Later on, I gradually grew up. I wasn’t fat anymore, but my face was still big. That was why when I was young, I had a nickname called ‘Beauty Bazi.'”


  Bazi was an old-fashioned word to describe a Tangyuan in Binjiang City.

  Her name was Beauty Wu, and she was called Beauty Bazi.

  Wei Shuyi thought about Beauty Wu’s chubby cheeks and felt that she was inexplicably cute.

  “It’s quite cute.”


  “Of course. I’ll tell you a story about my brother.”


  “Yeah.”


  “When I was young, didn’t the television always show ancient dramas? There were many emperors with many wives. My grandfather asked my younger brother how many wives he wanted to marry when he grew up. My younger brother said, “Emperor Kangxi had so many wives, so I have to marry a few. “My grandfather asked him how many wives he wanted to marry. He said, ‘I’ll marry four, I’ll have one, my father will have one, and my grandfathers will each have one.'”


  Wei Shuyi finally laughed.

  “If he really married so many wives, your mother would have beaten your brother up.”


  “Yeah…” Perhaps after thinking of Wu Jiacheng, Beauty Wu fell silent.

  “What about you? Do you still remember interesting things from your childhood?”


  Wei Shuyi said, “I don’t remember very clearly. My parents have been busy since I was young. My father was a doctor, and my mother was a professor at the Medical University. When I was young, I was brought up by a nanny. In my impression, I’ve always been very obedient. My wish since I was young was to be a doctor. As my goal was clear, I didn’t have any rebellious phases. My parents were serious people, and nothing interesting happened at home.”


  Seeing that Beauty Wu did not speak, he guessed that she must have felt that her childhood was boring. He thought for a while and said tentatively, “When I was eight years old, I put a snake in the school bag of our class’s little bully. I scared him so much that he would walk around me when he saw me after that. Is this considered?”


  Beauty Wu smiled. “So you have times when you’re mischievous too.”


  “Yeah.”


  Recalling his school days, Wei Shuyi remembered something else. “I was in primary school for a while, and my deskmate was a girl. In one class, I had a little diarrhea, but I was too embarrassed to ask the teacher to leave so I kept holding it in. In the end…”


  “In the end, you pooped in your pants?”


  “…Yeah.”


  Beauty Wu was about to laugh at him when she heard Wei Shuyi say, “At that time, some of my classmates smelled the stench. They all looked at me and my deskmate. I… I was a little embarrassed, so I betrayed my deskmate.”


  Beauty Wu was speechless.

  “It’s a miracle you weren’t killed by your deskmate.”


  “At that time, she was so angry that she cried. Later on, when she was in middle school, she found a boyfriend. The first thing she did was ask her boyfriend to corner me in the toilet and beat me up.” At that time, it was the only time Wei Shuyi was beaten up. He was beaten up till he was black and blue. It was terrible.

  Beauty Wu wanted to laugh, but she felt that if she laughed, Wei Shuyi would lose face.

  She held it in.

  “Laugh if you want to.” He didn’t want her to hold it in.

  Beauty Wu could not help but fall into his arms as she laughed hysterically.

  “Oh my god, why were you so daring when you were young!”


  Thinking back to his childish and laughable self at that time, Wei Shuyi felt that it was unbelievable.

  “Who doesn’t have a time like that?”


  “However, later on, my parents suddenly left…” He sighed and said,”I lost my aspirations for a while before I got back on my feet. That period of time was actually quite absurd. “He tilted his head and kissed Beauty Wu. He said, “However, without that ridiculous period, I wouldn’t have known you. ”


  Beauty Wu lay in his arms and looked up at the increasing number of stars in the sky. She felt especially satisfied.

  “I’m so happy.” She really felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

  Sensing that Wei Shuyi had suddenly hugged her tightly, Beauty Wu asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”


  Wei Shuyi said nothing.

  Beauty Wu fell asleep in Wei Shuyi’s arms.

  After an unknown period of time, she was pushed awake. When Beauty Wu opened her eyes, she saw the starry river that filled the sky. There were so many, so beautiful, but they were like broken diamonds in a glass bottle that were suddenly broken and instantly spread open. The starlight was dazzling and beautiful.

  She could not describe the beauty in front of her. Her words paled in comparison.

  Countless stars gathered together. Occasionally, two stars would suddenly flash. Immediately after, the light of the stars in the east suddenly flicker, and then the stars in the west also started to flicker. The winding Milky Way approached them and appeared in front of them. It was just like a few years ago when Wei Shuyi suddenly appeared in front of her.

  While Beauty Wu was seriously admiring the beautiful night sky, Wei Shuyi was admiring her.

  He accompanied her to watch the sunrise and sunset, the ancient snowy mountains, and the stars in the night sky.

  However, what he wanted to see the most was to see her age slowly.

  “Beauty.”


  “Huh?” Beauty Wu retracted her gaze and looked at Wei Shuyi. “Why are you calling me?”


  Wei Shuyi hugged her waist and said softly, “Let’s do it.”


  Beauty Wu was surprised.

  “Here?”


  “Yeah.”


  She was eager to try it.
