Chapter 9, Like

Thump, thump ... ...

Yet in my heart, I secretly thought: to put it bluntly, this is merely a romantic abode where he brings women for a night of passion. It is quite impressive that he can come up with such a romantic and beautiful name—stargazing

Looking up, Xu Tong couldn't help but exclaim, "What a wonderful room! What a beautiful skylight! What beautiful stars!"

"Is this your home?" she asked with an air of innocence, as if she truly did not understand that the houses of the wealthy are like the lairs of cunning rabbits, not unique, but scattered everywhere.

He immediately let out a low, deep laugh, his chest slightly rising and falling, causing her, who was resting against his chest, to gently tremble along with him

Beneath the bright starry sky, a handsome man adorned with gold deliberately creates an atmosphere of enchanting intimacy in the room. Soft words and fine wine that ignites passion accompany this scene. In such circumstances, it is likely that even the most virtuous woman would abandon her principles at the mere beckoning of the handsome man, casting aside her rationality and rushing into his embrace, engaging in the intimate practices of love between men and women.

She closed her eyes

She looked at him, swallowed hard, and with a shy demeanor, softly replied to him: "I, I like watching the stars from here... it's, it's so beautiful!" Under his gaze, she made herself become stuttery.

Before leaving, she checked her reflection in the mirror once more

His smile grew more pronounced, coaxing her to say what he wanted to hear, "What else? Do you only like stars?"

Her cheeks were lifted by him. Her lips were enveloped by a warm and soft wetness. A lively little snake slithered into her mouth. Her tongue felt as if it had been enchanted by the little snake, as they twirled together, entwined and chasing each other incessantly

Xu Tong nodded slightly, smiled, and no longer raised any questions

She felt that the heartbeat of the two of them gradually seemed to merge into one.

What surprised Xu Tong was that Gu Chen called that very night

Xu Tong had been thinking since she returned home about how long it would take for Gu Chen to find her. If the time was short, it would indicate that he actually cared about her—she would feel unhappy seeing other women by his side. If he was concerned about her feelings, he would surely come to her quickly to offer comfort; however, if the time was long, she would need to conduct a thorough self-examination to see if there was something lacking in her charm, making the young master Gu treat her with such indifference, as if she were dispensable.

Feeling pressed by him, she simply put on a petulant demeanor, let out a soft whimper, and fell into his embrace, burying her cheek in his chest. With a mix of grievance and affection, she murmured, "You already know!"

Gu Chen, however, was not willing to let her off easily

Under the brilliant starlight, her charming and obedient little appearance was truly indescribably delightful. He looked at her and chuckled softly. Leaning forward slightly, he lowered his head a bit more—his cheek was already very close to hers, and the warmth of his breath brushed against her face, so much so that she could even feel the warmth of those puffs of air.

For some reason, in an instant, Xu Tong suddenly recalled the legend about Gu Chen's cleanliness obsession. At that moment, she subtly cast a glance, feigning an innocent demeanor, and exclaimed in a naive and charming voice: "The air here is so fresh, the scenery is beautiful, and we can see the stars. It feels so romantic! It seems that everyone becomes more beautiful along with the night here! I dare say that any girl who has been here must feel the same way as I do—this night is like it has been sprinkled with wine, and just a whiff of it can make one feel intoxicated!"

He gently traced his hand along her cheek, as if touching but not quite, smoothing the slightly disheveled strands of hair at her temples, tucking them behind her ear one by one. The half of her face facing him could clearly feel the warmth emanating from his fingertips, yet the sensation beneath his fingertip seemed almost nonexistent, stirring an inexplicable quickening of her heartbeat.

Gu Chen told her, "A great place to watch the stars"

He quietly asked her, "What do you like?"

She agreed in a hesitant manner, her tone filled with doubt, as if she could hardly believe that she had not been abandoned. She could tell that her self-deprecating and pitiful demeanor truly evoked a greater sense of pity from the other party—when he spoke to her, his voice was unexpectedly gentle.

A single utterance of "Hmm?" caused Xu Tong to momentarily lose feeling in half of her body. The man before her was simply too enchanting; she was almost afraid that if she continued to meet his gaze, she would lose her mind.

Very good, steady yet lively, pure yet tinged with sensuality. However, what are the merits of this outfit beyond these?

Gu Chen couldn't help but smile at her: "Silly girl, do you think there are many girls who have the chance to come here and enjoy the intoxicating night view?" His voice suddenly became enchanting, and he leaned his lips close to her ear, softly saying: "Yao Yao is different, Yao Yao is my little lucky star!" As soon as the words fell, Xu Tong felt a warm, moist sensation enveloping her ear. He opened his mouth and gently sucked on her soft earlobe. He softly said: "Yao Yao is different, Yao Yao is my little lucky star!" As soon as the words fell, Xu Tong felt a warm, moist sensation enveloping her ear. He opened his mouth and gently sucked on her soft earlobe.

The ceiling of this room is semi-circular and is constructed entirely of a large expanse of transparent glass. A casual glance upwards reveals a dreamlike and beautiful starry sky that dazzles the eyes

He reached out to support her chin and slowly lifted it, his eyes fixed on her face as he scrutinized it carefully, persistently asking: "Apart from stars, what else do you like, hmm?"

Xu Tong asked: "Where is this?"

Putting down the phone, Xu Tong was so excited that she wanted to scream. She had thought that he would take at least three days to contact her, but unexpectedly, she had underestimated her influence on him

After a while of boredom, he took her into a room

Gu Chen parked the car in front of a villa at the top of the mountain and got out, holding Xu Tong's hand.

Xu Tong looked up, her large, watery, sparkling eyes wide open, and with a mix of joy and playfulness, she nodded slightly, "I like it!"

Xu Tong smiled proudly at her reflection in the mirror, picked up her bag, and happily stepped out the door

A trace of unease involuntarily arose in her heart. She quickly lowered her eyelids, as if unable to bear the shyness, not daring to look at him, promptly cutting off the temptation of his enchanting gaze.

Gu Chen pulled Xu Tong into his arms, lowered his head, looked at her, and softly murmured: "Do you like it?"

I do not know who is with whom in this magnificent night, breathing hurriedly and with hearts racing

As she rummaged through the clothes in the wardrobe, Xu Tong pondered for a moment, her eyes glinting mischievously, and she slyly picked out a pair of black skinny jeans and a loose-fitting doll-style top to wear.

She became even more shy in the moment, her cheeks flushed crimson, her hands and feet almost at a loss, her head hanging down to her chest. "Of course... it's not just the stars..." she mumbled, lowering her head, her voice growing softer with each word, until at the end, her voice was so faint it was nearly inaudible

He invited her to have dinner together

At such a close distance, even without the lights on in the room, she could still see clearly by the starlight. When he spoke to her, his eyes were slightly squinted, and a hint of an eager smile lingered at the corners of his mouth, a smile that carried a touch of mischief.

He chuckled lightly, "No, I do not live here; I only come over when I want to see the stars"

Gu Chen took Xu Tong to eat private cuisine During the meal, the two occasionally conversed, but their dialogue was not extensive

She heard the sound of his heartbeat. It seemed that she also heard the sound of her own heartbeat

He held her hand and walked into the villa together

After finishing dinner, Gu Chen suggested driving her to the mountain top to watch the stars. Xu Tong did not refuse

Under the starry sky, two figures entwined have long forgotten what year it is this evening
