Xia Weige did not eagerly kiss Wen Rong; their lips were very close but always maintained a distance.
She heard her own breathing, which she could no longer control and was somewhat erratic, but she did not hear Wen Rong’s.
Wen Rong’s breathing remained even and shallow.
The other party was not affected by her.
In fact, other than the initial surprise, she did not show any further emotional fluctuation.
Even when being so presumptuous, Wen Rong only reached out and slowly pushed Xia Weige away.
The force she used was one Xia Weige couldn’t refuse, but after pushing her away, she still softly urged, “Will you go change out of your wet clothes? Otherwise, it’s easy to get sick again.”
Xia Weige didn’t argue this time, lowering her head and silently walking toward the small tent in the corner.
Because of the filming, a camera was installed inside the camp tent, so Xia Weige had specifically brought a partition tent for changing clothes.
The CP fans in the live stream were currently completely absorbed, and even Wen Rong pushing the person away didn’t dampen their enthusiasm.
【Kiss! Why don’t you hurry up and kiss! Why aren’t you kissing!】
【Where’s the ‘press their heads together’ squad?!】
【Holy cow, this is a big enough scale.】
【Please, we’ve moved the marriage registry for you!】
【Wait, does no one genuinely think Wen Rong is playing hard to get? She verbally rejects Xia Xia one minute, then acts very caring the next, her attitude is always contradictory.】
【Honestly, yes, generally we call this kind of behavior ‘keeping a backup’.】
【Can Zhuo Jingcheng’s fans stop hounding them? Wen Rong and Xia Xia had a relationship before; Xia Xia is clearly trying to win her back now, it’s normal for them to be back and forth, hesitant. I, on the contrary, think Wen Rong does have feelings for Xia Xia, she just might not know if she should accept her since they broke up so long ago.】
【Yes, yes, I think so too! The older sister says no, but seeing Xia Xia sad and disappointed, she can’t help but go comfort her.】
【Ahhh, saying it like that, it really seems true.】
【What else? Xia Xia made such a bold move, they were about to kiss, if Wen Jie (Sister Wen) really had no feelings, could she be completely unbothered? After pushing her away, she still didn’t forget to care about Xia Xia, worrying she’d get sick again.】
【Wuwuwu, Sister is too good, older people just worry more and hesitate. Xia Bao, hurry up and try to move Sister!】
The discordant voices were quickly suppressed by the CP fans. This dating show was very popular from the start, and Xia Weige had never had much gossip before, but this time, many CP fans emerged because of the show.
Individual fans combined with CP fans defended them together, and the few negative comments on the bullet screen were quickly refreshed away.
However, the two people still filming naturally wouldn’t know about this.
When Xia Weige came out after changing her clothes, Wen Rong was sitting by the stove, drying her hair. The fire in the stove had grown, and the tent finally had some warmth.
Wen Rong was still wet; she only had a towel draped over her damp clothes.
Xia Weige felt awful inside. The other person worried she would get sick but completely disregarded herself.
She showed care, but it always made Xia Weige feel her rejection.
She didn’t understand Wen Rong’s thoughts and always felt restless because of Wen Rong’s erratic attitude.
“You should go change,” Xia Weige walked over and prompted Wen Rong.
Wen Rong nodded upon hearing her, grabbed her change of clothes, and walked towards the small tent.
Because her hair was too wet, she had tucked her long hair behind her ear. Only then did Xia Weige notice that Wen Rong was wearing the earrings she had given her when inviting her on a date yesterday.
The transparent edelweiss ear drop was suspended by a silver-white chain, the other end of which was fastened to Wen Rong’s snow-white earlobe.
With Wen Rong’s movement, the edelweiss, like a real flower, was caught by a gentle breeze and danced in the air.
Xia Weige’s heart felt as if a string had been plucked, trembling slightly.
She bit her lip, her back slightly bent.
The unhappiness she felt just now when Wen Rong pushed her away was now filled with a secret joy.
She could feel her own state and blamed herself for being so weak.
But the other person was Wen Rong; she was helpless.
…
The two simply made some lunch, and in the afternoon, they cleaned and organized their belongings together.
Xia Weige set up a small rain-sheltered platform outside the tent, moved a table and two chairs, and the two sat outside, listening to the rain.
They didn’t do anything; they just sat together, quietly.
Xia Weige really liked this—no chaotic city life, no numerous tasks and constant interactions with people.
Just the two of them, Xia Weige and Wen Rong, sitting in the rain, hearing the sound of the rain hitting the tent, hearing the maple leaves being stirred by the cool wind, and feeling everything quiet down.
“Do you want more coffee?” Xia Weige turned her head and asked when she saw Wen Rong’s coffee cup was empty.
Wen Rong nodded, indicating she needed some. She felt a little sleepy in such an environment.
So Xia Weige stood up to boil water inside.
The troublesome part of camping was when cooking or boiling water, you had to manually light the fire and burn charcoal. Luckily, there was always an ember in the stove, so it wasn’t too much trouble.
The coffee was what she brought; she had ground it at home the night before and put it in a filter bag. Now she just needed to boil water and brew it.
Xia Weige also made a cup for herself. The rich aroma drifted in the air. Wen Rong couldn’t help but look back. Xia Weige was bending over to close the stove, preventing the cold air from extinguishing the fire.
Xia Weige had been an idol for so many years, and her body management was always strict; her slender waist was dainty.
However, she had been dancing for a long time, and a closer look revealed visible muscle lines on her waist, with a sense of strength.
She was currently bending her body, compressing her waist. From Wen Rong’s perspective, it looked like the shape of a crescent moon.
Wen Rong’s fingertips were clasping the jade bracelet on her wrist, unconsciously tracing the outline of the smooth jade body.
She withdrew her gaze, sighing as she closed her eyes.
Before long, Xia Weige brewed the coffee and delivered it to Wen Rong’s hand. The two sat for a while longer, so quiet that even the comments in the live stream lessened, not wanting to disturb the current tranquility of the two.
The rain gradually stopped, and the curtain of water dropping from the tent overhead slowly ceased. Xia Weige craned her neck to look towards the sky, a trace more of a smile appearing on her face.
“It finally stopped, I thought we wouldn’t see it today.” She reached out and caught a drop of water remaining on the tent; the transparent water droplet then slipped away from her palm.
“Hmm? See what?” Wen Rong couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity after hearing her words.
Xia Weige turned her head and smiled, “You’ll know then.”
Wen Rong also looked up at the sky like her. The dark clouds had quietly dissipated, and although the sunlight was still blocked by the cloud layer, a faint ray of light could already be seen.
Wen Rong shook her head. She couldn’t guess, so she simply gave up, knowing she would find out later anyway.
They spent the time leisurely until the evening. Wen Rong was still wondering what Xia Weige wanted to show her when the latter insisted on pulling her out of the tent and spreading a waterproof cloth on the open ground.
The path lights in the camp were extinguished, leaving only the faint light of the fire from the stove inside the tent and the small table lamps they had hung up.
Xia Weige led Wen Rong to lie down on the ground. To make them more comfortable, she had also spread a soft mat on the waterproof cloth.
Xia Weige stretched out her finger and pointed at the sky, and Wen Rong followed her gaze.
It turned out they could see the stars here.
Not just a few scattered ones, but the entire night sky full of stars came into view.
The two lay together. Xia Weige looked at Wen Rong, then turned to look at the night sky, “These are the most beautiful stars I’ve ever seen.”
Wen Rong heard this and smiled softly but didn’t take up her words.
“Have you seen even better ones?” This made Xia Weige turn her head to look at Wen Rong with some confusion.
She saw Wen Rong turning her head to look at her at this moment. Wen Rong’s face was a little blurry in the darkness, but those glistening, watery eyes were now focused and tender.
Her pupils reflected Xia Weige’s figure, as if she had wholly and completely held Xia Weige in her eyes.
Xia Weige’s heart was stirred at this moment, and Wen Rong’s next words made her heart surge even more.
“I have seen the most beautiful star in this world.”
Wen Rong’s voice was extremely soft, lightly scratching at Xia Weige’s eardrum.
When she said this, tenderness overflowed from her eyes, as if she was talking about a certain person.
Xia Weige gazed at her, her throat subconsciously tightening, and her breathing slowed down.
