Rebirth of the Starry Night Sky
Under the warm glow of sunset, a golden aura enveloped the two in a dreamlike world. The elegant man with an ethereal quality lay on the soft couch, his slightly long flaxen hair partially covering his half-closed eyes, his lips curved into a faint smile, exuding an otherworldly charm that was both refined and alluring. In his arms, the woman lounged languidly, her head buried in the crook of his neck like a kitten, her half-exposed face as white as jade, radiating an enchanting beauty that could captivate cities and nations, a truly transcendent presence.
The man's mouth curved up with a spoiled smile, his slightly purple eyes filled with love, and his tone was like tempting and scolding: "Baby, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate later, okay? I'm already 29, are you going to abandon me when I'm old?"
"Oh? Are you old now?" The woman raised an eyebrow, smiling ambiguously as she glanced at the man behind her who was laughing with a resentful face: "Besides, the Civil Affairs Bureau seems to be off work at 5 o'clock! Now..." Glancing at the alarm clock on the bedside table, "it's almost six thirty."
"My dear darling, your husband called me to come back and attend a meeting, and I brought a big red envelope, which made him very happy." Holding the soft and fragrant baby, the man ate tofu, kissed his cheek, and slid down to his earlobe, all the way to his white neck.
"What's the hurry to get married recently? Hmm?" The tone rose, with a hint of threat, and the slender white jade-like hands also slipped into the bathrobe, lingering at the waist, igniting a burning flame.
"Baby." The low, husky voice was both playful and flirtatious. One hand held down the restless soft hands, while the other grasped the slender waist, pulling her tightly against his chest. He swiftly covered her slightly parted red lips with his own, their tongues entwining until they were both a little breathless before he stopped. "Don't be naughty! Go change your clothes quickly, we should head out." She hastily retreated to the bathroom.
"Hehe." A joyful laughter sounded, and a charming smile appeared on the stunning beauty's face.
Cloud gazed blankly at the sunset that had already fallen halfway, her thoughts drifting further and further away. It had been fourteen years since they met without ever parting ways. At eight years old, she met fifteen-year-old Ye Ningxuan. Ever since then, because of her increasingly stunning face, she kept getting into trouble, so in order to protect her, starting from when she was thirteen, they established the Ghost Gate and Cloud Heaven Corporation together, with blood as their companion. Now that she's twenty-two years old, she's already tired of this bloody life, wanting to leave this world behind and find a peaceful place to live a quiet life.
"Come on, baby, why haven't you changed yet? Do you want your dear husband to serve you?" Ye Ningxuan didn't like this side of her, and with a heavy sigh, he smiled and interrupted her thoughts.
"Xuān." A low, uneasy cry, "We'll leave tonight, as soon as we're done speaking." As if muttering to himself, everything was too easy, like a dream, fragile and easily shattered.
Yuntian Building, the tallest office building in City C, is owned by Yuntian Group and also serves as the headquarters of Ghost Gate.
"Older brother, Xiao Ran. You two are too much, throwing Yun Tian to me for just two months has exhausted me to death. I want a vacation, and it's going to be for two months." Akai started complaining as soon as the two of them came in.
"Hello, Xiao Ran." Amo greeted him as usual and then fell silent.
Yun Qingran glanced at A Ke's thick black eye circles under his eyes with a bit of malice, "A Ke, look at how well you've managed the company, this shows just how suitable you are for this position. So, Xuan and I have decided to leave Yun Tian Group in your hands. Keep up the good work."
"Ah!" Akai was stunned, is this okay too? "What about you guys?"
"We?" Ye Ningxuan pulled Cloud Light into his arms and circled them around his legs, "We're going to travel first, then find a quiet place where no one knows us to settle down."
Akai Amo fell silent for a moment, as if digesting this information, and also seemed shocked by the news.
"The Cloud Heaven will be handed over to you, and the Ghost Gate will be handed over to Amo. You have always been in charge, there won't be any trouble." Ye Ningxuan said directly.
"If there's trouble, come back. I'll be here, holding the last shield for you." Amo spoke his longest sentence yet, and it was at their final farewell.
Taking a deep breath, Akai looked at the two people with intertwined fingers, "Let's get together one last time. From now on, the four of us won't have the chance to be together again."
These words were somewhat inexplicable and absolute. Ye Ningxuan and Yun Qingran exchanged a glance, silently communicating their opinions.
"Alright, you and Amo go to the supermarket to buy vegetables first, we'll go buy some things and come back, I'll cook dinner." Leaving these words behind, Ye Ningxuan pulled Yun Qingran out to walk.
"Huan!" Anxiety is growing deeper.
"Baby, let's get married now." He gave her a kiss on the forehead and drove to the nearest church. They got out of the car and walked hand in hand into the church. The church was empty except for rows of vacant chairs. The two stood facing each other at the front.
"I am willing to be your husband, from today on we will mutually own and support each other, whether it's good or bad, rich or poor, sick or healthy, we will love and cherish each other until death, nothing can separate us." Ye Ningxuan gazed deeply at Yun Qingran, his eyes filled with unspoken love, holding her hands, "Baby, are you willing to marry me?"
"I do!" Yun Qingran smiled beautifully, "I am willing to be your wife, from today on we will mutually own and support each other, whether it is good or bad, rich or poor, sick or healthy, we will love and cherish each other until death, nothing can separate us."
"Baby." Ye Ningxuan took out a pair of ancient silver rings from his pocket, which could be combined into a complete pattern that couldn't be understood. "Do you remember? That year we saw it, and you fell in love with it at first sight. You said that whoever proposed to you with this ring would be the one you'd marry." He gently picked up her left hand and put the female ring on her ring finger.
"Remember, later I went to buy it, but the person said someone had already bought it." He picked up his left hand in the same way and took the man's ring. "After I put it on you, you'll be mine, and from then on, you have to love me and pamper me."
"Hehe, okay." Excitedly hugging her and spinning around in circles, he had waited too long for this moment.
Two people rushed to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and someone was already waiting there, a young woman.
"Two of you come with me, I'll take a photo for the two of you." Seeing Yun Qingran and Ye Ningxuan, the woman's face was filled with envy. Such a perfect match between the two, both were so extraordinary.
"Good!" Ye Ningxuan walked in front of the camera with Yun Qingran, facing the camera, he also became a bit nervous, his tightly clenched hands were sweating slightly.
Before long, the woman came over with two red books in her hand, "Wishing you a happy marriage and a hundred years of harmony."
"Thank you." Ye Ningxuan handed over the thick red envelope and opened the marriage certificate, seeing the two people on it smiling sweetly.
At the entrance of their home, the two never stepped inside.
"Xuan, I'm getting more and more uneasy, everything is going too smoothly, it's as if something is about to happen." Yun Qing tightly hugged Ye Ning Xuan, her fingers were slightly pale.
Gently patting her back, Ye Ningxuan smiled softly: "As long as we're together, it doesn't matter what we encounter." As long as I have you, that's enough.
Watching Ye Ningxuan's smile, Yun Qingran felt a little dazed. Today, he seemed to be particularly enchanting, with an ethereal temperament that gave her a demonic feeling. After adjusting her mood, she walked in together with a sweet smile.
The dishes were all well-prepared and neatly arranged in the kitchen. This was a habit of the four of them from before. She only liked cooking, but not handling ingredients, so it was the three of them who handled the dishes. In recent years, she had rarely gone to the kitchen, and when they did, it was either Xuan or going out to eat.
"Xiao Ran, it's been a long time since I've had your cooking, I really miss it. Today, I must eat my fill, or else you won't cook for me again in the future." At the dinner table, A Kai said as he ladled out bowls of fragrant chicken soup for everyone, "Try some, this is what I made under Xiao Ran's guidance, see if there's any difference. Everyone has to give their opinion, this is so I can learn and make it myself when I'm craving it in the future."
"En, okay." On the day of farewell, Amo was no longer so silent, and he finished a whole bowl of soup, "The taste is still quite similar, but it seems to be lacking in fire."
"It'll be enough after another half hour of boiling." Ye Ningxuan took a sip and gave the exact time.
"Ah Ke, I didn't expect you to have a talent for cooking too." Yun Qingran also took a sip, teasingly said.
Unexpectedly, Akai didn't lift the corner of his mouth as usual, and his smiling expression was gone, replaced by a gloomy look that left everyone stunned. Was this still the same Akai who always wore an mischievous smile?
"Clang." Amo's chopsticks clattered against the bowl, making a crisp sound. He stared blankly for a moment, then looked up at Ake, "Why?"
"Why? Haha!" Akai laughed maniacally, "Because I want to take Xiaoran away with me!" He had already been with Xiaoran, and yet he still wanted to take her away, never letting me see her again. This was unforgivable.
"A Ke, you..." Yun Qingran finally knew what that unease was. Now her whole body was soft and weak, unable to exert any strength. Under the table, her hand was tightly clasped with Ye Ningxuan's.
"Xiao Ran, do you know? I love you, from the moment I saw you for the first time. But in your eyes, there's only him, not even a glance at me. It's because of him that you talk to me, it's because of him that you smile at me. I just want to see you often, why won't he agree?" Akai completely lost his mind, his eyes turned blood red, and a murderous intent surged towards Ye Ningxuan.
"Akai, you're crazy! Don't make Xiao Ran hate you." Amo said urgently, seeing the madness in his eyes.
"Heh heh, Amo, you've fallen for Xiao Ran too, haven't you? As long as he's dead, Xiao Ran won't leave." The murderous intent grew stronger, and she muttered to herself like she was trapped in a nightmare, "As long as you're dead, Xiao Ran won't leave... Dead means she won't leave..."
"Bang......" The world seemed to have paused for a moment.
"Baby, gently baby!" Ye Ningxuan broke through the medicinal restraint, embracing Qingran's falling body, and looked at the blood gushing out on his chest, blooming into a desperate flower. "Ambulance, call an ambulance quickly! Call quickly!"
"It's useless now." The bullet had already pierced the heart, and nothing could be undone. Yun Qingran's trembling hands struggled to caress Ye Ningxuan's face, with a hint of sobbing, "Xuan, take me back to my room, I want to go back to my room."
"Alright, my dear! Wherever you want to go, I'll accompany you!" Tears streaming down his face, he hastily hugged her and headed towards the stairs.
At the stairs entrance, Yun Qing's voice echoed softly: "I've always treated you as brothers... it was me who wanted to leave, I'm too tired of this place."
After finishing speaking, she no longer paid attention to them, too tired, she wanted to sleep.
"Gently, baby, we will be together forever." Ye Ningxuan carefully placed Yun Qingran on the bed and lay down beside her, tightly embracing her, as if wanting to grasp that last warmth, and deeply kissed those pale lips. "Baby, wherever you go, I'll go too."
"Uh-huh." A very slight response.
"With you and with me, when you live I live, when you die I die." Tears filled her eyes.
“……”
"Let's be together in our next life..."
