It was already night and the stars were shimring in the skies as the faint glow of the moonlight enriched the land beneath it.
"Co on, quick!" Zhao Ying's excited voice broke the calm as she looked over at Fei Ziyu, who was busy manipulating the sand with her earth elental powers.
Fei Ziyu's hands glowed faintly as she molded the ground, creating a hole.
After a few monts, she stood up with a satisfied smile. "Lady Ying, it's ready."
With a nod, Zhao Ying glanced at Chi Miya who ca there with a wooden pole and placed it firmly on the hole making it stand straight.
Fei Ziyu quickly closed the sand hole with her Earth elental, making sure the pole was firm
At this ti, Ning Yueli ca there with a long white cloth like a bedsheet.
Together, they stretched the cloth over the wooden fra, attaching it at both ends of the pole's arms, forming a makeshift movie screen.
It fluttered slightly in the breeze, but it was stable enough for what they had in mind.
"Now," Ning Yueli said with a playful smirk as she stepped back to admire their handiwork, "if we get the projector ready… we can finally watch a movie."
Hearing this, Zhao Ying smirked "How about we watch a horror movie?"
Zhao Suyin panicked and hurriedly shook her head "No, no! Not a horror movie! Please, let's watch sothing lighter… maybe a romance or fantasy film?"
"Hahaha..."
Zhao Tian was sitting on the couch as he watched the won preparing for a late-night movie, a smile dancing on his lips.
As he gazed around the won gathered there, a frown creased his eyes 'Where is Zhilian?'
Hm? As he used his astral sense, he stopped Ning Zhilian at the far end of the beach and raised an eyebrow in amusent.
He then turned to Ning Xue who was sitting beside him on the couch and asked "Zhilian... doesn't like movies?"
Ning Xue blinked her eyes "I.. we, have never seen modern movies like this. This is the first ti."
Zhao Tian gave a faint nod and Ning Xue tapped his shoulder "Go and hit on her as she is wandering there alone."
Chuckling, Zhao Tian kissed her forehead and stood up, walking towards Ning Zhilian.
Yu Hua who was sitting beside Ning Xue was dumbfounded "Sister Xue... you are asking tian to hit on Sister Zhilian?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Xue leaned back on the couch "Yeah... I am not doing this for Tian. I am doing this for Big Sister."
"Hua'er, soon we will leave this star and I don't want to leave Big Sister alone here... And even if we brought her with us, there would surely be awkwardness between us."
"Big Sister walked in two tis while Tian was making out... so it would make her feel distant. I am sure she feels a bit out of place."
Yu Hua covered her mouth, trying to hide her embarrassnt. "I didn't know she had seen that…"
Ning Xue gave a faint, dry smile. "Exactly. That's why I thought it would be good if she and Tian beca closer. I've noticed how she looks at him, and Tian… well, he said that he is interested in her too."
Yu Hua's gaze lowered and she nodded her head "But Sister Zhilian has to agree on that."
"Oh, don't worry... this guy's charm is unmatched."
...
Zhao Tian's foot sank into the sand as he walked toward Ning Zhilian who was sitting on the shore looking at the endless night sky above the skies.
"Zhilian..."
Hearing a voice, Ning Zhilian turned her gaze to the right and saw Zhao Tian walking towards her.
"Tian?" She was quite surprised and Zhao Tian gently settled beside her on the shore.
"You don't like watching movies?"
Hearing his question, Ning Zhilian chuckled softly, a small smile playing on her lips. "No, it's not that," she replied, shaking her head slightly. "I actually enjoy watching movies. I've seen quite a few while I was traveling in the Western nations."
"However, this ti... you all are watching as a family, you with your won... so I didn't want to disturb that."
A sigh escaped her lips as she turned her gaze to look at the galaxy's rift, which is spread across the sky. "As you said once, the sky looks really stunning in this galaxy."
"So, I ca to get a breath of fresh air and stargazing."
Zhao Tian gave a faint nod "I see..."
Ning Zhilian curled up her legs and hugged her thighs "What about you? Are you not with your won... watching the movie?"
"Haa... they are still preparing for it, so I have ti."
"Hm.." Ning Zhilian humd, a small smile playing at the corner of her lips.
Both of them sat there silent as only the noises of the crashing waves and the gentle breeze were heard.
As a few monts passed, Zhao Tian asked "Did Xue'er... talk with you about dissolving the royal family?"
Huh? Ning Zhilian was taken aback to hear this and mumbled "Dissolving the royal family... I didn't hear anything about it."
With a sigh, Zhao Tian began to explain Ning Xue's plan and after hearing it, Ning Zhilian's eyes condensed.
"If the Emperor of Ebon Luohe Star has already accepted the deal..."
After so monts of thinking about it, she took a deep sigh "If that's Xue'er's wish... then it's okay."
Nodding his head, Zhao Tian muttered "Yeah, Xue'er is really worried about you"
She gave a nod and soon another silence followed as both of them simply sat staring at the skies.
After a little hesitation, Ning Zhilian scratched the back of her head and spoke "There's… sothing else," she began, her voice quieter now, almost shy.
"It might be awkward to bring this up, but… I think I should apologize."
Zhao Tian turned to her, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. "Apologize? For what?"
Ning Zhilian's face turned slightly red, and she cleared her throat. "For, um… disturbing you and your won… you know, when you were… getting intimate."
Zhao Tian blinked, and then a chuckle escaped him. "Oh, that?" He shook his head. "You don't need to apologize for that."
Hearing his reply, Ning Zhilian pouted her lips as she huffed "Hmph, But still... I didn't expect you to be a naughty guy like that."
"Doing it on the open and even g-grabbing my back out of nowhere... Bastard."
Zhao Tian couldn't help but laugh softly at her reaction and he leaned over placing his hand over hers, their fingers brushing lightly against the sand.
"Zhilian, I won't touch any random woman whom I am not interested in."
Huh? Hearing this, it took a second for Ning Zhilian to understand and she blinked her eyes.
EH?
