CHAPTER 478: CHAPTER 355: FLIRT AND RUN (BONUS CHAPTER: MONTHLY TICKET)

Yu Shujun’s steps halted.

She turned her head to look at the person beside her, only to see him smiling gently at her. The emotion in his smile was hard to pinpoint, whether it was teasing, resignation, or something else entirely.

Yu Shujun hesitated, "You..."

She uttered one word but didn’t know how to continue the conversation, so she ended up pursing her lips and lowering her eyelashes.

Wen Nan spoke with a smile, "Flirt and then run?"

After a pause, he added honestly, "Even worse than I am."

Yu Shujun couldn’t accept this accusation and, upon hearing it, suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, her brows slightly knitted, "I didn’t flirt."

Then she quietly defended herself, "You ordered it, I had no right to refuse..."

At this moment, Wen Nan showed great magnanimity and nodded, "Not flirting," then gestured with his chin toward the windowsill, "We agreed to watch the stars together, the ’Midsummer Night’s Dream’ hasn’t even been fully used, and the highlight of the enhanced version hasn’t started; leaving now would be irresponsible, Xiao Jun."

For Yu Shujun, Wen Nan’s presence at her window on such a busy night was already a huge surprise. The vast sky full of stars and the magnificent Milky Way above was overwhelming.

She even felt that the cake and Void Stone were too hastily prepared, not worthy of such a night.

Therefore, she didn’t dare to hope for more surprises in this dreamlike setting.

Tonight was enough; anything more, she dared not imagine.

But given what he said, how could Yu Shujun miss it?

Without saying a word, Yu Shujun sat back by the windowsill, her back straight, placing her hands neatly by her sides like a good student waiting for the teacher to explain the key knowledge points.

Seeing this, Wen Nan couldn’t help but laugh, "No need to be so tense, I just wanted to tell you I’ve already had my wish granted. Under this night sky, maybe you can make one too?"

Yu Shujun replied seriously, "Today is not my birthday."

"Who said you can only make wishes on birthdays?" Wen Nan looked up, gesturing with his chin to the starry sky, "Under the stars, you can always make a wish."

"Nonsense."

Yu Shujun thought, if you can wish on any starry night, wouldn’t the god in charge of wishes die from overwork?

But at this moment, Wen Nan spoke with utmost seriousness, "Make a wish, trust me, it will come true."

Yu Shujun still didn’t believe it.

But the look in the person opposite her made it impossible for her to say words of refusal—she couldn’t help but think, there was no need for any golden control patterns, a casual word or a glance from him was enough to make her cave in and agree to anything.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Shujun closed her eyes and silently made a wish in her heart.

Opening her eyes again, she saw the man opposite looking at her earnestly, asking, "What did you wish for?"

Yu Shujun lowered her eyes, "If I say it, it won’t come true."

Wen Nan shook his head with a smile, unable to stop himself from internally grumbling, not long ago someone insisted wishing upon stars was nonsense, and now she’s worried about whether or not it will come true?

Ha, women, saying one thing and meaning another.

Yu Shujun saw his teasing gaze and felt somewhat guilty, so she simply averted her eyes and looked back at the starry sky.

And then, Yu Shujun was stunned by what she saw.

Stars filled the sky, suddenly one by one, began to slide down from the pitch-black night sky, leaving behind trails of bright silver or golden tails, like splendid fireworks blooming under the night sky.

It was... a meteor shower.

Yu Shujun’s eyes widened slightly in awe, and a slow smile curved at the corners of her lips.

Seeing the expression on her face, Wen Nan leaned against the window frame, confidently asking, "I told you it would come true. How do you like it?"

Yu Shujun nodded, "It’s beautiful."

She was lost in the sight of the meteor shower, while Wen Nan was absorbed in looking at her eyes.

In those eyes, as if washed clean by the rain, was now filled with starlight and the purest of joy.

Wen Nan couldn’t help but think, Xiao Jun seems cold and unyielding, but in reality, she’s just a girl lacking love and easily satisfied.

She was like a barren mountain, hidden in the night with a fearsome appearance, but in truth, all it took was a spark, and this mountain would burn for you, illuminating the entire night sky until it consumed itself.

Yu Shujun withdrew her gaze, and her eyes met Wen Nan’s unexpectedly, her smile froze at the corner of her lips, "Why... are you looking at me like that?"

Wen Nan wouldn’t voice those thoughts. He composed himself, shook his head, and then looked up at the night sky, where the meteor shower was nearing its end.

The roles were reversed, and now Yu Shujun found herself staring at the man opposite her, lost in the handsome face illuminated by the starlight.

This man was like the snow on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, admired by many, with people flocking to him, thinking they could leave a mark. But after a storm, they discovered that nothing was left on him.

He became unreachable again, not to be possessed by anyone.

This man traversed this world in the most carefree and untamed manner, but, had he ever genuinely cared for anyone?

Thinking of this, Yu Shujun leaned in, like a devout worshipper, trying to gently touch his cheek with her lips.

However, before she could get closer, the man opposite her suddenly turned and exclaimed, "Oh no!"

Yu Shujun’s action halted, and she saw Wen Nan jump down from the windowsill, run a few steps, then turn back to grab Yu Shujun’s wrist, "Hurry, urgent business!"

...

...

In Ru Huan’s guest room, Wen Nan No.2 finally succumbed once again to the opponent’s skill, enjoying a brief victory of words two times.

With dawn approaching, Wen Nan No.2 tidied up his clothes, bid farewell to Ru Huan, opened the door, and prepared to "retire in peace."

But, as soon as he stepped out the door into the corridor, there came three successive clicks from the opposite side.

The locks of Xiao Fei, Wenwen, and Xu Zhenzhen’s room doors were simultaneously unlocking.

If those three women were to step out of their rooms together at this moment, they would surely see Wen Nan No.2 stretching in front of Ru Huan’s door.

At this moment, behind Wen Nan was a wall at the end of the corridor, and to the side, the tightly closed door of Ru Huan’s locked room.

And directly in front were the three doors opening one by one, with the light from the rooms casting into the corridor.

He didn’t have time to return to Ru Huan’s room, nor was there a place to hide behind him. If he rushed forward, he would inevitably be exposed to the three women.

Wen Nan No.2 froze.

At the same moment, the real Wen Nan sped to the scene, stunned by what he saw.
