Leia watched the stars, thrilled that she could stare at them without even lifting her head. It looked


    so magical!


    Leia and Xavierid next to each other and marvelled at the view silently, their shoulders and heads


    touching. It felt peaceful and soothing.


    “You know, it’s been a while since I saw this many stars…” Leia murmured, feeling rather


    mncholic. “Thest time was when Liam, Ren, and I drove to The Golden Hills at Springfield.


    Everwell Hills, The King of Hills is right opposite The Golden Hills. When night fell, the dark sky was


    full of bright stars… It was as if I could see the whole gxy.”

    “I can imagine,” Xavier said longingly. He had always wanted to stargaze on a hill because the view


    would be clearest, but he never could find the time. Now that he heard it from Leia, he felt like he


    was experiencing it himself.


    “We had such a good time, and we worried about nothing. We would go on road trips when we


    were free, and we climbed a lot of mountains and went to a lot of beaches. Now, even though the


    stars haven’t changed, we have. There are always things to worry about.” Leia sighed as she


    thought about her college days.


    Xavier looked over at her and smiled. “I didn’t expect you to have a deep and cynical side


    considering how carefree and optimistic you usually are.”


    Leia didn’t respond, but tears rolled down her cheeks like shooting stars in the sky. “Do you think


    everyone is like you? You have the looks, but you’re not a deep thinker at all. Don’t you know that


    people will get emotional when they see breathtaking views like this?”


    “Hey, princess, why are you shedding pearls?” To Xavier, Leia was more beautiful than the stars in


    the sky. Heid on his side and gently wiped away her tears. “Don’t shed pearls so easily. It makes


    me sad.”


    Leia huffed and turned to him angrily. “Why do you always have to ruin the mood? Can you stop it


    with the cheesy lines?”


    “I’m serious.” Xavier looked at her fervently under the bright stars. “I feel happy when I see you, and


    sad when I don’t. I nearly went mad when I saw you get close to Santiago. Do you think I’m joking?”


    Leia pursed her lips and didn’t dare to look at him because she didn’t know what to say. They had


    been ying this game of cat and mouse for a very long time, and when they had finally became a


    couple, they had quickly broken up with each other because of a conflict. The stress of it weighed


    heavily on Leia, and she didn’t know how to handle such an unstable rtionship.


    “I really don’t know you…” Leia sighed deeply and added,” Why do you have to pester me every


    time I decide to move on? When I wanted to get to know you better, you acted like you didn’t care


    at all. Do you think it’s fun to y me for a fool and mess with my mind again and again?”


    “I didn’t do any of those things…” Xavier protested, feeling wronged.


    “You didn’t?” Leia clenched her fists and asked him hoarsely, “What about Shirley? How are you


    going to settle your rtionship with her? You wavered between Shirley and I when I wanted to be


    with you, so why should I have to go through that pain again?” Her enthusiasm and passion had


    quickly faded when he couldn’tmit.


    “Yes, I didn’t handle it maturely back then, but things are different now. I just want to know… Do you


    still like me?” Xavier asked nervously, waiting for her answer with bright eyes.
