The beautiful scene in front of her left her astounded. As they were already in the outskirts of the city, the air was fresh and crisp blowing through her hair.
The sun was almost ready to descend and the city was going to be enveloped in the darkness soon.
The place Mo Hua and Yan Xuan were at was a mountain cliff and they were standing outside the gated area. Taking a clear look inside the area, there was a row of tents placed with enough distance from each other to give each tent occupant as much privacy as they want.
A string of lights was hanging over the beautiful tents making then shine brightly. There was a small table with two chairs placed in front of every tent along with some barbeque platter over the barbeque stand which one can lit up to make the street style sizzling barbeques.
The area was surrounded by soft soothing music. But the most amazing part was the sky above the head was extremely clear and the stars seem shining brighter than usual when seen in the city area.
Mo Hua was enthralled by the entire setting and view in front of her.
Yan Xuan parked his car and when he reached near Mo Hua, he saw her mesmerized face. He wrapped his arms around her waist and sniffed scent from her hair. It was a way for him to make himself feel close to her. It was just like an addiction for him as it made his heart believe that she belongs to him now and no matter what, they'll be together.
"Do you like this place?" Yan Xuan asked her while his nose rubbing her earlobe.
"Hmmmn. It's beautiful." Mo Hua's face was flushed due to his intimate touch.
"How did you know about this place? Did you bring your ex-girlfriend here?" She said teasingly but the person who was just now nuzzling her earlobe suddenly bit it and said,
"Why are you gloating. Hmm? You are my first and only girlfriend I have in this lifetime and I am afraid to say that there is no one in the future as well. So, you better keep yourself ready to spend your life with me. I am not letting you go ever. Understand?"
"You are such a bully. Who wants to stay with you?" She pushed him away when she sensed a burning sensation on her neck due to the touch of his chiselled chin. "Let's go. I want to look over there." She grabbed his palm and dragged him towards the tents.

"Woah... I never knew this place existed. I am in love with his place Xuan. Thank you for bringing me here. " Mo Hua wrapped her arms around his neck as they stood near the cliff.
"Where is this lace exactly Xuan?" Mo Hua asked with curiosity.
"This... We are on the lands of East Lingshan, Xishan peak. We are still far from the peak and can only make use of the cable car or horse ride to go up there."
He then swept his gaze across the entire place and his face showed a bit of nostalgia as he said, "This is the guarded cliff area by some trusts which is dedicated for the scholarly people to come here and study about mother nature. In the past, Mom Dad used to visit this place very often. Later when I was born, we visited this place as my dad wanted to teach me to stargaze as the sky looks clearer and we can see the rare stars in the open sky from here."
"Hmm, that explains why we were allowed to enter this restricted area then." She poked his arm teasingly.
Both of them stood there holding each other in arms looking at the panoramic view of the entire city lights. From there the view was breath taking with high mountain meadows and scenic river gorges.
The bustling city below was slowing down and the lights were getting brighter due to the darkness spreading over the city.
"Let's get settled first. We can stay here overnight else we can leave after some time. We will do whatever is comfortable for you. So, sweetie tell me what do you want to do?" Yan Xuan asked Mo Hua while brushing the hair scattered on her face due to the cold wind.
"Mmmn. Let's stay." Mo Hua said instantly. "I want to enjoy this calm and serene view. But..."
"But what?" Yan Xuan asked worriedly.
"Ummm... I haven't informed anyone back in University. They will start panicking if I am not back at night. Also, if we stay back for overnight, I am sure it will be cold here. And also, the climate can change anytime. We are not prepared for it." Mo Hua said with disheartened face. "Seems like we will have to go back for now and come prepared next time."
"Baby, do you underestimate my capability? Your boyfriend is always one step ahead when it comes to you. I have informed Liam and XiXi back in University when we were on our way here through text. And about the preparations to stay back, just wait here I will be right back." He pecked her lips and left swiftly.
Mo Hua sat on the chair in front of the tent allotted to them. She relaxed her body on the recliner chair with her eyes were staring at the open sky.
'Is it all real?'
'Xuan. Is he the one I will be spending my life with?'
'I am scared to lose him and even more scared to even imagine what will happen if I lose him. No matter what now, we are together and I will have to try my best to be with him and fulfil his every expectation.'
She inhaled the crisp air and closed her eyes as she drifted in a dream which was filled with beautiful memories from the past few days since she met Yan Xuan.
