“Ye,” Li Qingcang replied.
He then caressed Ye Tianxin’s lips fondly with this hand.
‘I must be crazy lately,’ he thought.
‘I’ve developed a strange obsession for skinship,’ he concluded.
His hands grazed her face followed by her lips.
He felt exceptionally comforted by the re touch of her skin.
“Ye? Why?” Ye Tianxin asked.
Li Qingcang nodded his head as he explained, “When I was young, my na wasn’t Li Qingcang. It was Li Xingye.”
“I see,” Ye Tianxin replied and found the na rather pleasant. “‘Ye’ as in the night sky?” she asked.
“Perhaps the na clashes with my horoscope, for I often fell ill. Subsequently, I had my fortunes read and changed my na from Li Xingye to Li Qingcang.”
‘Li Xingye? Li Qingcang?’ Ye Tianxin thought.
“From now on, the na ‘Li Xingye’ belongs to you,” Li Qingcang concluded.
“Li Xingye,” Ye Tianxin muttered, and she seed strangely blissful.
In the past, she had nothing to her na. Now, she’s starting to have more and more.
Ye Tianxin knew better than anyone that she would have to cherish her great fortunes, which did not co by easily.
“Xingye,” Ye Tianxin called out hesitantly.
“Yes,” Li Qingcang replied.
It was early September and though it was barely 10 a.m, the sun was already as strong as a blazing torch, and it scorched their skin.
The couple was dressed in matching baby pink sweaters that were of thin material. It still felt warm.
Li Qingcang knew that the current weather was clearly unsuitable for a date.
“Xingye,” she murmured.
“Yes,” Li Qingcang responded.
“Tianxin,” he called out.
“Yes,” Ye Tianxin responded swiftly.
‘When you’re with soone you love, even sothing as simple as calling out their na would warm up your heart and make you feel comfortable and loved,’ Ye Tianxin thought.
“Let’s head ho,” Li Qingcang suggested.
He then held Ye Tianxin’s hand and whispered, “You’re still weak. We’ll go for a date when you’ve recovered.”
‘A date? Wow! I’m looking forward to it. It would be our first official date,’ she thought.
“We’re also on a date now,” Ye Tianxin replied.
Leaning her head against Li Qingcang’s shoulder happily, she asked softly, “Xingye, am I right about this?”
By the ti the couple returned to the hospital, the ward had already been tidied up.
Worried that the couple would be bored, Jing Zhichen delivered many items over to them.
However, little does he know that even an act of spacing out would be sothing interesting for an old bachelor like Li Qingcang, as long as he was doing it with the woman he liked.
“Let embroider sothing for you,” Ye Tianxin proposed.
When Ye Tianxin noticed the thread that Jing Zhichen had prepared for her, she whipped out her scissors excitedly and cut off a square of silk to embroider a flower on it.
She weaved away with ease and familiarity, and every single stitch brimd with her love for her friend.
Soon, the black square of silk fabric was transford into a unique piece of embroidered handkerchief.
It resembled a night sky that was dotted with stars.
“Elder Brother Li...,” Ye Tianxin called out.
She had been addressing him as Elder Brother Li all along and was unaccustod to his sudden change in na.
“It’s the wrong na,” Li Qingcang reminded sharply.
Ye Tianxin stuck out her tongue mischievously before she replied, “It takes ti to change.”
“I’ll have to punish you for using the wrong na,” Li Qingcang replied.
Under the impression that Li Qingcang ant to beat her, Ye Tianxin held out her hands obediently like a little girl who had done sothing wrong.
However, Li Qingcang simply moved his face closer to her calmly and whispered, “Your punishnt is to give a kiss.”
