Chapter 537 - 245. Nan Huaiyu pinched the woman’s chin,
The long and lingering deep kiss ended, and Nan Wan leaned weakly against the man’s embrace. Every inch of her oral cavity was filled with the taste of alcohol, a result of the man’s agile tongue licking inch by inch.There were many couples around them, kissing and hugging with each meteor that fell from the sky. No one thought there was anything inappropriate about how they were behaving.
After the trembling subsided a bit, Mu Jin Huan’s slender fingers lifted her chin.
An elusive kiss lingered around her captivating almond eyes, his deep voice tinged with a hint of hoarseness, "What wish did you make? Tell me, hmm?"
It was a very plain sentence, yet the upward intonation gave it a kind of beguiling allure.
His dark eyes were filled with endless tenderness, so deep that it seemed Nan Wan could be drawn in at any moment, but she had no intention of escaping from this uncontrollable flutter, instead responding to his gaze with a gentle smile.
She was willing to drown in it.
"Of course, it’s..." The soft voice changed its tune just as it reached her lips, "Of course, to strike it rich overnight. A person like me, with no spiritual pursuits, what other high-end wish could I possibly have?"
Her almond eyes carried a noticeable glint of mischief, and her delicate features were brimming with lively charm.
Such words, even Jiashu might not believe them now.
"Wanwan," Mu Jin Huan wasn’t angry, his voice softly calling her name, his profound eyes seemingly holding the deepest affection, "Tell me, I want to hear it."
The gentle temptation, the most difficult to resist.
Nan Wan pressed her lips together, as if in a difficult predicament, "If I say it, it won’t come true. Meteors are so rare, who knows when the next one will be."
Mu Jin Huan gazed at her beautiful, lively face, a captivating curve forming at the corner of his lips, "What a meteor can’t fulfill, I will make happen for you."
Nan Wan thought for a moment, considering it feasible.
Tilting her head, she gazed at the dream-like starry sky, remaining silent for several minutes as if seriously recalling the wish she had just made.
After a long time, she stopped looking at the distant night sky and instead met Mr. Mu’s burning gaze.
The arm around her waist tightened slightly, her lips turning upward, her cheeks blossoming into a gentle, beautiful smile, her pupils reflecting only his image.
In a soft voice, she slowly spoke, "Morning is you, old age is you, the next life is you too."
If a meteor could really grant a wisher’s desire, then... all she wished for would be him.
When Mrs. Mu said those thirteen words with a smile, Mu Jin Huan’s heart skipped a couple of beats uncontrollably, giving him the illusion of having traveled through a century.
That gentle voice was like raindrops striking on stone slabs, gradually forming fine and dense beads of water, lively, tender.
Her long, curly lashes were like little fans, blinking, her almond eyes shining with a luminous glow, faintly enchanting. Her cherry red lips slightly parted, having just spoken the most beautiful words of love in the world.
The calloused pad of his finger gently caressed the woman’s tender cheek, the curve at the corner of his lips becoming more pronounced. Unhurriedly, he asked, "Do you love me that much?"
He didn’t believe in the so-called destiny, nor in making wishes upon meteors, a childish game only children would play.
Yet at this moment, he suddenly wished that the baseless rumor was true.
"Yes, I love you very much," Nan Wan blinked, "Does Mr. Mu feel troubled or bothered by it?"
Mu Jin Huan chuckled softly, kissing her lips once more.
After who knows how long, his deep voice came with the wind, "No, I am thrice blessed."

When summer came, Nan Wan found time to visit the cemetery.
This time, she brought lilies that Mr. Mu had personally planted in the backyard, with flower stalks pruned only that morning, each petal still fresh.
Compared to the last time Nan Wan came, the street had changed a lot, seemingly newly renovated, with the dirty walls painted white, looking clean.
The old man guarding the cemetery had more white hair now, sitting under a large tree sipping tea and reading the newspaper.
Of course, the steps leading to the cemetery remained just as they were.
It took Nan Wan eleven minutes to walk from the car to the tombstone.
In front of Emperor Lu’s tombstone, only a few lilies were scattered. Time will take everything away, whether it was the grand farewell from the past or the current state of being forgotten by the world, it is the normal course of the Earth’s rotation.
Nan Wan squatted down, placing the two bouquets of lilies she was holding in front of the adjacent tombstones.
