When she arrived back home, it was almost midnight. Wen Xinya reeked of alcohol and was feeling a little nauseous. She sat in the courtyard under the viburnum tree. She could smell the mild fragrance from the viburnum flowers and feel the breeze that blew onto her face. It made her relaxed and comfortable.

“Why did you come back so late?” asked a cold voice, sending chills down her spine.

Wen Xinya looked up and squinted her eyes. She saw Si Yiyan standing in front of her. Under the dim moonlight, she could not make much of his expression clearly, and all she could see was a dark shadow covering his face. This gave her a mysterious feeling.

“You have been drinking!” Si Yiyan added.

Wen Xinya’s eye sparkled. She replied, “Mm, today is Second Young Master Xu’s birthday. We were celebrating for him so we had a few drinks. I was able to hold my liquor and did not get drunk. Xu-er and a few other friends weren’t as good. They got drunk and couldn’t even balance themselves.”

There was some excitement in her voice. It was obvious that she had enjoyed herself at the party. “Let me help you to your room. You shouldn’t be out in the wind after drinking. You’ll catch a cold.”

It was probably the effect from the alcohol, Wen Xinya was acting childishly than usual. She pouted and responded, “No! I want to look at the stars and count every one of them. Who said there are too many stars in the sky? I want to count them all tonight!”

Si Yiyan laughed at her. She was obviously drunk and would not admit it. He had no choice but to try coaxing her again. “Be good and obedient! It does not feel good to be sick. You have to stay in the hospital and you might have to get some injection if you’re sick.”

Wen Xinya made a funny face. She tilted her head as if she was deep in thought. Then she shook her head and said, “No, I don’t want that. I’m thirsty. I want water!”

Si Yiyan stroked her hair lovingly and said, “Okay, let me get you some water. I’ll also make a glass of tomato juice for you to help disperse the alcohol in your body. Otherwise, you will get a hangover tomorrow.”

“Mm, okay!” Wen Xinya nodded. Si Yiyan’s voice sounded clear and crisp in her ear. She could also smell the mild fragrance of bamboo coming from him.

Indeed, she had drunk a lot earlier. But she managed it well because of her past 10 years of drinking in her previous life. The alcohol she drank that night was nothing in her eyes. It was probably after staying outdoors in the cold wind that enhanced the effects of the alcohol.

Wen Xinya looked up into the night sky. In the month of May, the sky always looked dark and vast without borders. The dim stars in the sky blinked a little without much brightness. It gave a sense of loneliness.

This was the same feeling she felt with Si Yiyan. He was so close to her in proximity, and yet she felt so distant from him. She was always unable to guess what he was thinking and he always seemed to be a mysterious character, just like the dark mysterious sky. There was always room for guessing and assumptions.

After a while, Si Yiyan came walking towards her.

His silhouette was barely visible under the dim light from the sky. The dark scenery behind him enhanced his aura and he became even more mysterious than ever.

Under the same dim light, Wen Xinya’s drunken eyes sparkled like the stars in the sky when she blinked. This pair of eyes revealed her youthfulness and a slight sense of childishness in her. He was extremely attracted by her cuteness.
