As evening fell, after having their dinner together, the couple decided to take a night stroll by the hotel's rooftop garden. The night was cold, so Yong Liwei made sure that Lu Mengjie was well covered to avoid getting sick.
"I think we should go back instead," he suggested. "Also, you shouldn't stay up late."
"I know, I know. Just a few minutes please," she said softly. She looked at him with her starry eyes that made the man finally give in.
"Will five minutes be enough?"
"More than enough." She arched her neck back to allow her line of sight to rise as she began staring at the night sky. It was clear from clouds that made the moon and the stars shine brightly in the night. Somehow, it made her feel relieved and at the same time, comforted. The quietness around them was serene.
