Chapter 4: Main text: The Boy and Girl Under the Starry Sky

Main text: The Boy and Girl Under the Starry Sky

After Li Yijie and his inner little Li Yijie fought three hundred rounds,

They both agreed to chalk up all these doubts to dream-fiends, not to himself.

After all, a person's narcissistic protection system always likes to blame the bad things,

that might harm the owner, mostly blaming external systems.

Thus, the master's inner self and society's righteous morality attain a numbing harmonious unity.

That is the warped saying: 'Hello, I'm fine, everyone's fine, narcissism is invincible!'

Since we chalk it up to a dream, everything is easy to say.

No matter how strange and illusory, a single glance can dispel it!

Once the eye opens, myriad dreams scatter: joyous nightmares fade, sighing beautiful dreams turn to regret.

After making sense of the strange dream, Li Yijie began to survey this dream-awakened place.

The pink curtains, still and soft like mountain mist.

They render the outside of the curtains and the inside of the bed hazy and flavorful.

A slight movement, and it seems like a pink mountain spring,

slowly seeping onto the pink heart-shaped bed.

This bed seems formed from mountain spring, mist, and floral scent, blended together:

Watery and hazy, soft and resilient with a faint fragrance;

A light fingertip touch sends ripples spreading,

slowly spreading outward to the surrounding curtains.

Next, the ripples flow upward to the curtain top.

This curtain top,

looks like a star sea hanging upside down,

As the ripples rise, they resemble rings of pink galaxy.

Where they converge, starlight instantly blazes,

The pink inside the bed seems draped in a layer of cool silver radiance!

Suddenly, the stellar radiance flares,

Hundreds of thousands of meteors rush from the depths of the star sea,

treading strange, eerie traces,

leaving star tails,

twisting and turning, intricate and mysterious,

like a heavenly weaver threading a needle,

as if there is a kind of beauty,

quietly brewing, slowly flowing!

This startled Li Yijie, who had just awakened from sleep, into astonishment again,

He gaped, speechless.

Just as he wondered whether this was the work of that damned old man,

the stellar radiance shifted, and in an instant the light retracted,

making Li Yijie's widened eyes narrow again.

Only a soft 'pop' was heard,

like flower buds opening and closing in a secluded valley,

then the stellar radiance dissipated like vapor,

Li Yijie could see clearly again.

This was exactly like the entrance of a mysterious great figure,

first came a light that 'blinded' the observers' eyes,

making the observers feel doubt and even awe,

Next,

the light retracted onto the great figure's body,

condensing without gathering, shining without flashing!

while allowing people to see clearly,

one instantly feels that this great figure,

radiant and splendid, perfectly dazzling, of unparalleled grace!

thus inspiring longing and envy.

As for when the light 'blinds' the observers,

what is the great figure doing?

the small figure cannot know.

Perhaps the great figure is on the way here,

as the saying goes:

not having seen the person, one is first flashed by his light!

That's exactly this feeling.

Or perhaps,

The important figure just arrived,

Travel-worn, he was slightly embarrassed.

He still needed to tidy his attire,

Strike a pose or something.

In short,

This only happens when the small figure becomes a big figure,

can one know.

Apocryphal tales are well known,

Toward mysterious, high-status people or matters,

maintaining due reverence should be the attitude of a small figure.

At this moment, Li Yijie also roughly felt this way.

He looked ahead,

saw only a man and a woman,

separated by a sea of stars,

walking toward each other from afar.

But seeing that male youth,

facing sideways toward him.

A head of silver hair like a galaxy draped over his shoulders,

His handsome side profile was round and flawless like a crescent moon,

When he spoke, starlight seemed to emanate from his face,

His prominent nose ridge,

revealed a hint of his arrogance.

His silver side eyebrows,

also showed his slight unrestrained nature.

His entire head, from top to bottom, blended seamlessly with the silver,

From neck to feet, it was perfectly covered by a black robe, flawless.

That black robe,

was purely black,

without a trace of mixed color,

nor embroidered with any pattern.

It seemed that if the wind blew,

or if his hand trembled,

he could vanish into the endless night,

and be hard to find again.

At first,

he took small, slow steps,

then took tiny, hurried steps,

and soon became like a snail's crawl.

That feeling,

with each step he moved,

a mysterious and beautiful moment,

would be shortened by a minute.

However,

if he didn't move a step,

he could not experience,

that initial awe upon meeting and the joy of conversation!

This dilemma of walking or not walking,

the contradiction of seeing or not seeing,

made his nearly perfect bearing lose its former composure.

Life is inherently full of contradictions.

Contradictions turn perfection into merely an imagined word!

Especially the kind found in the human world,

the utmost sincerity and feeling, the utmost gentleness and goodness,

has never been a solitary one.

People find it hard to obtain such beauty,

yet regret often embraces beauty in its arms!

What can one do about this?

Apocryphal tales also say:

In the human world,

most flowers are prepared for cow dung cakes!

However,

Indeed,

This time it's truly a talented man and beautiful woman!

Perhaps it's heavenly will,

The youth was facing sideways toward Li Yijie.

Thus Li Yijie and the youth were in the same perspective.

Only saw the girl opposite them,

All in pink attire,

The playful short skirt, within permissible limits, lifted a cute amount.

A pink little cat,

Using its cat tail, it gently grasped her slender waist.

The cat's eyes, half-smiling,

Seemed to be warning the hungry single dogs,

"This flower already has a cat, lustful dogs don't steal!"

From the waist cat upward,

Pieces of pink petals faintly on the skin,

Crests and troughs interspersed among the flowers.

Petals linked together into clothing,

Bloomed to a pink-white neck plain.

A smaller pink cat slept peacefully in the middle of the plain!

From the neck cat upward,

What a face that is!

Only saw her,

Her eyes are not eleven parts charming and beautiful,

Her jade nose is not twelve parts straight and sharp,

Her pout is not thirteen parts cute and small,

But these,

All gathered on a peach-colored lovely face,

It made Li Yijie unable to look away after just one glance!

Li Yijie has seen few people since childhood,

The beautiful people he has seen are even fewer,

As for such a beautiful person,

Moreover, unheard of,

Moreover young and beautiful,

Moreover beautiful and young,

Some people are very beautiful,

But no longer young,

Some people are young,

But not beautiful,

Those who are both beautiful and young,

Can be called the perfection in men's hearts!

At this moment,

Made Li Yijie recall a saying from the crooked transmission:

Such a maiden should only exist in heaven,

How rare to hear of her in the mortal world!

At the same time, he also felt,

A fine cabbage is about to be arched by a pig again,

Although this pig is better-looking than him,

However, that was the thought before seeing this maiden,

Most men are like this,

As long as the cabbage is not arched by oneself,

Then it's the pig arching,

It's no wonder women,

All like to call men stinky men!

Pigs, of course they're stinky!

Not entirely wrong,

After looking at the face,

Then look at the feet,

Some women have beautiful faces,

But feet are not beautiful,

Li Yijie only saw the cat from the waist down.

The slender legs made the whole body move in a mischievously agile way.

The two little pink cats on the left and right, together with the knees, complemented each other perfectly.

Plus a fluffy private kitten shoe.

Further dressing the graceful feet in a pink, cute style.

The small hand flicked lightly, as if shaking off the heaviness and gloom of the whole starry sky.

The girl, as if sharing a telepathic bond with the young man,

arched her waist like a cat and walked with cat steps slowly coming over.

Unlike the young man's slipping into the night,

she seemed like a pink, lively little star,

wherever she went,

the starry sky lit up there!

The two of them walked like that,

walking,

as if in your eyes there was only me, and in my eyes there was you,

one tiny snail step, one tiny cat step,

successfully turned a stretch of starry sky into a distance of a universe.

At this moment, Li Yijie began to understand a bit,

that sometimes walking slowly together

is more romantic than soaring together through earth and sky.

Because soaring through earth and sky is too fast,

there's no time to truly feel,

the horizon arrives,

and the farthest cape no longer holds deeper affection!

Especially when the two stare at each other,

as they walk toward one another.

You glance at me,

I glance at you,

a frown, a furrow,

every move,

one heart with telepathy,

one body hides a colorful phoenix,

you read me,

I also understand you,

then turn the short distance into a horizon,

one second becomes ten thousand years,

what is called love at first sight,

isn't it no different from love that grows over time?

Of course, these are just Li Yijie's own imaginings.

As for the genuine feelings,

only Heaven knows, Earth knows, he knows, she knows!

This is their exclusive secret!

But Li Yijie wants to know,

such a beautiful person,

such a beautiful encounter,

what kind of way should it be,

to start a beautiful story?
