The Sky Poison Pearl
If you're Not My Little Aunt

Xiao Che looked up at the sky, then said with a smile, “Then, little aunt and I used to sneak here at night to enjoy the night breeze and look at the stars… And often get caught and scolded by grandfather .”

"Hm." Xiao Lingxi replied, then calmly said, "I also thought about it, so I thought I would see what it was like to go out alone to see the stars... Because in the future, I might not be able to see stars with you."

"Ah? Why?"

"Stupid! Because you're married! In the future, you should accompany your wife, Qingyue, to sleep at night, rather than go out to enjoy the night breeze and see the stars.” Xiao Lingxi coldly glanced at him and then pouted for some reason.

"That's not true! As long as little aunt wants, no matter when, I will willingly come here with little aunt to see the stars! Didn't I do that with you now?” Xiao Che said with a smile.

“You still say that! Sneaking into the back mountains during your wedding night. Ah! You weren't forced here by Xia Qingyue, right?” After thinking that, Xiao Lingxi's face was filled with anger and she stomped her feet: “Hmph! That's too much, I'll go look for him!”

You don't have to worry about him." Xiao Che grabbed Xiao Lingxi's hand. “I wasn't forced here by him. I'm out on my own. Maybe I just recklessly predicted that I would meet little aunt here. Come on, let's go to that place.”.

"Well…"

Leading Xiao Lingxi's hand, Xiao Che ran through the cool afternoon wind towards that familiar place.

This is a small hilltop covered by soft, soft grass. Xiao Che and Xiao Lingxi leaned against each other shoulder to shoulder, bathed in the occasional afternoon breeze, their hearts at peace.

“I thought after you got married, I would lose most of you. Xia Qingyue was very beautiful, better than me in all aspects. I'm afraid once you have it, you'll always be by his side, leaving me less and less time with you.” Looking up at the night sky, Xiao Lingxi's eyes were filled with a wavering light that was even brighter than the stars.

"Little aunt really doesn't believe my words at all." Xiao Che bitterly replied, “I clearly said this morning that in my heart, a hundred Xia Qingyue cannot compare to little aunt. Little aunt forced me. Er, wait no, promise me. I very much remember, and will definitely willingly comply .. ”

“After I get married to Xia Qingyue, I will not forget little aunt just because I have a wife. I will spend the same time as little aunt as before, and will listen to little aunt's call and will also arrive as soon as it is called as before. And lastly, even though Xia Qingyue is now my wife, in my heart, she will definitely not exceed little aunt.

“...” Xiao Lingxi had a dumbfounded expression on her face and the look in her eyes blurred. “I know it's a bit overrated. I was just playing around. You really kept it in your heart all this time?”

"Of course." Xiao Che nodded without hesitation. “Because little aunt and grandpa are the most important people in my life. Others cannot be compared. Little aunt, I promise you, even though you are now married, you will never lose, just as I wish I would never lose you.

Dark clouds floated in the sky, blocking the full moon for a while, immediately dimming the lighting around it.

“In hindsight, it's been a long time.no, it seems like it's been several months since we came here to see the stars together. When we were kids, whether it was winter or summer, we used to sneak in here. I remember one winter night, in this place, of course the sky was filled with many stars. We watched for a long time, then accidentally fell asleep to each other. It turned out that night it snowed unexpectedly, and we froze while sleeping. By the time you find him, we'll be two little snowmen. After that, we only recovered after living near the stove for two days and taking a lot of bitter medicine. Dad was really angry, but was reluctant to hit me, let alone you. So after we recovered, he told us to shovel a large patch of snow as punishment.”

Xiao Che continued with a smile, “And then, we just shoveled for a while before starting to play in the snow. We even made a big snowman that really resembled grandfather. He didn't know if he should laugh or cry. As soon as he started laughing, he completely forgot our punishment.”

"Uh huh! Dad was always like that. He usually looks very fierce, but he can never force himself to hit us even once and will only make a show to scare us. No matter what, as long as we make a small tantrum, he will obediently listen to us.” Xiao Lingxi's face was full of warm laughter.

“It used to be nothing like that.” Xiao Che's smile became faint. “On my twelfth birthday, when you were eleven years old, grandfather gave you a small page, and forbade you to sleep with me in the future. I remember you begging Grandpa every day, crying and screaming, and even angrily stopping eating. Grandpa was very unyielding. No matter what he won't let you sleep in the same bed as me. As time goes by, you can only obediently follow his orders.”.

“It... That's because I'm so young, and have so many things I don't understand!” Xiao Lingxi lightly pinched Xiao Che's shoulder. “Some girl things I just learned after adulthood, hmph.”

"What thing?" Xiao Che opened his eyes wide, his face full of suspicion

The man and the woman could not sleep together after they had grown up! I can't believe you don't know!” Thinking about what had happened before, Xiao Lingxi added another sentence: "Also, they can't kiss randomly like when they were little!"

“Ah, so it was like that.” Xiao Che glanced at the beautiful cheeks of Xiao Lingxi, jade dyed under the bright and beautiful starlight. He quietly leaned closer: "But, I always wanted to kiss you, what should I do?"

"Then marry me!" Xiao Lingxi replied with a proud face, her pink cheeks slightly raised,

“If you are not my little aunt, I will definitely marry you,” Xiao Che said without thinking.

“…”

After saying that, Xiao Che immediately stared blankly ahead. Xiao Lingxi's expression also froze as she stared blankly at him.
