“En?”

Fu Yanzhi replied softly, “What is it?”

Ji Qingying pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed.

She recalled how old she was and how she still cried.

And that too in front of Fu Yanzhi!

“Not crying anymore?”

Perceiving her silence, Fu Yanzhi took the initiative to ask.

“En.” Ji Qingying buried her head low, exposing her fair and slender neck as she bit her lip and said, “My makeup became blurred.”

Fu Yanzhi: “…”

He wanted to laugh.

But considering Ji Qingying’s condition just a moment ago, he tried his best to hold it in.

Fu Yanzhi bit his lower lip, “What do you want to do then?.”

“I want to go back inside the car. Let me fix my makeup.”

Fu Yanzhi was about to say ‘okay’ when Ji Qingying quickly added, “Don’t peek.”

He was helpless.

“A face without makeup is also beautiful.”

“That is different.”

Ji Qingying blinked and said, “When my makeup blures, I look like a ghost. If you see that you will have a nightmare tonight.”

“…”

“Then what should I do?”

Ji Qingying thought and said, “Close your eyes and give me the car key.”

To prevent Fu Yanzhi from opening his eyes, she emphasized, “You can only open your eyes only when I say that you can.”

At this moment, Fu Yanzhi basically let her do what she wanted.

He chuckled and replied, “Okay.”

After she had finished speaking, he really did close his eyes.

Ji Qingying slowly raised her head.

When she raised her eyes, his face was reflected in her tearful eyes.

His outline, a tall nose, and thin lips, also a pair of closed eyes.

His eyelashes were long, covering his eyes, leaving small fan-like shadows below them.

He looked very well behaved and obedient.

“Still looking?”

Fu Yanzhi didn’t open his eyes, but his voice sounded happy.

Startled, Ji Qingying covered half of her face.

“You hadn’t closed your eyes?”

“I did.”

Choked, she retorted, “Then how did you know that I am looking at you?”

Fu Yanzhi replied in a calm voice, "The stars are too bright for me, and there's no way for me to ignore them even with my eyes closed."

Ji Qingying was startled.

She understood what Fu Yan Zhi meant. Her eyes watered and her lips trembled.

“How do you know there’s a star in front of you?”

Fu Yanzhi closed his eyes and curled his lower lip, “How can it not be one?”

He said, “If it is not a star, how am I unable to ignore it?”

Ji Qingying bit her lip, her heart beating faster.

Her nose became red because of his words, and also due to his attentiveness.

Even though Fu Yanzhi didn’t know what happened to her in the past, he could guess it.

So he was using this method to tell her.

She is a star.

She would not be forgotten and wouldn’t be left behind.

Everybody will like her. That she will shine like a star.

Filling the night sky.

Shine bright in everyone’s heart.

Ji Qingying was touched and at the same time Fu Yanzhi’s eyes suddenly quivered, but he didn’t open his eyes.

He slightly frowned, wondering and asked, “How long do you want me to close my eyes for?”

Ji Qingying came back to her senses, feeling helpless at the fact that he spoiled the atmosphere.

“Soon.”

With that said, she stopped dragging the task any longer, turned around and walked to the car.

After getting into the car, Ji Qingying shouted, “Fu Yanzhi, you can open your eyes .”

Fu Yanzhi slowly opened his eyes.

He paused, then turned his eyes to the car that wasn’t far away.

He couldn’t see the inside clearly but he knew what she was doing.

Thinking about that, a smile spread on his face.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

They had been delayed by thirty minutes and they still hadn’t entered inside.

It wasn’t the weekend, so there were only a few children around.

The whole place also seemed a lot more quiet.

This zoo was a lot bigger than what Ji Qingying had imagined.

It was divided into three areas and there were even walking and sightseeing car tours.

Ji Qingying looked at the map in Fu Yanzhi’s hand feeling a little confused.

“Where should we go first?”

“Is there anything in particular that you have in mind?”

Ji Qingying thought. “I want to see the giraffe.”

Fu Yanzhi smiled, “Okay.”

Ji Qingying’s ears were hot, and while grumbling in a flirty manner, she whispered, “What are you laughing at”?

Fu Yanzhi lowered his eyes, looked at her red eyes and shook his head.

“It is nothing.”

Ji Qingying: “…”

For some reason, she felt that Fu Yanzhi was secretly laughing at her.

She stretched out her hand, rubbed her nose and said. “I just liked them a lot when I was a child.”

Fu Yan Zhi nodded.

“Have you ever been here?”

“Yes.”

Ji Qingying pursed her lower lip, “I have come here alone so many times till now.”

Fu Yanzhi looked at her, “You’ve never been here with friends?”

Ji Qingying shook her head, “No, at that time I didn’t want to let them know about my little secret.”

Fu Yanzhi stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead.

“Then next time–” He paused for a moment, “When you want to come here, look for me.”

Ji Qingying smiled, her lips curling up, “Okay.”

The zoo was indeed too big.

Ji Qingying and Fu Yanzhi rented cycles for two people and cycled slowly to the area where the giraffe was located.

Looking from afar, the giraffe stood tall and big, stretching its neck.

Ji Qingying's eyes brightened up, and she paid no heed to Fu Yanzhi.

“I’ll be going there ahead of you.”

Fu Yanzhi: “…”

He stared as she trotted over, and there was a smile in his eyes that he didn’t notice he had.

The green meadow looked like a brimless carpet.

The giraffes were locked inside, which allowed for the people to stand in a circle and watch.

When they saw that people were coming over, they poked their heads out in a friendly manner. As Ji Qingying was distracted watching, she didn’t pay attention as a giraffe also went and rubbed her back.

Apart from the giraffe, the two people who were riding on their bicycles also ran into an alpaca and a deer.

She had everything one could wish for.
