They chose a snowy peak to stop at, the distant sky clear and expansive, and soon the sun would rise.
"Did you know? In Chamonix, seeing the sunrise is just like seeing a shooting star; you can make a wish. Don't forget to make a wish later..."
Perhaps it was because he was beside her that she spoke so much.
He smiled gently, neither refuting nor agreeing, simply gazing into the mountains and lakes before them, his eyes filled with tranquility.
She sat down on the ground and insisted on pulling him down with her.
They had just seen each other at her Eighteenth Birthday Party, yet she felt as if they hadn't met in ages. She wondered what he had been busy with lately; he seemed to have lost some weight since their last meeting, but despite being thinner, he looked particularly vibrant. Perhaps the things he was busy with only tired his body but not his spirit.
"What brings you to France at this time?" he asked as he settled down beside her.
Naturally, she wouldn't share the trivial matter of having a spat with her father, so she turned her face away while hugging her knees and mumbled, "I just felt like coming."
He grasped her arm and pulled her back to face him.
"Did you have a fight with your family?"
She remained silent.
"Junxi, you're no longer a child. You can't just act on your own whims," he said, his expression suddenly serious, his tone earnest.
It dawned on her that from the very first question, he had been setting a trap for her. When she didn't comply with his expectations, he began to push harder.
But wait, what did he mean by saying she was no longer a child? Did it imply that her confession of "I like you" was now timely and mature?
Caught up in her thoughts, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. He wondered if he had been too harsh and after a moment of contemplation, he gently patted her head and apologized.
She shook her head, indicating it was fine, and instinctively grasped his large hand. Just as she was about to voice the words she had been holding back for so long, he interrupted with, "Look, there's light coming through."
Indeed, where his gaze fell, light pierced the dark sky.
It was the sunrise!
"Make a wish!"
She exclaimed loudly, immediately withdrawing her hands to clasp them together in prayer, bowing her head and closing her eyes in sincerity. Once she finished making her wish and lifted her head, she found him still in the same position, smiling at her. She quickly urged him, "Hurry up!"
He couldn't resist her enthusiasm and mimicked her actions, closing his eyes as well.
Seeing him comply made her so happy that she couldn't help but ask, "What did you wish for?"
He blinked, a hint of shyness flickering in his eyes. He probably had never done anything like this before.
"Tell me," she said, playfully shaking his arm. There was a confidence in her that suggested he would tell her whatever she wanted to know.
As expected, he obliged.
"I hope my wedding with Jingming goes smoothly."
She froze, the smile on her lips stiffening. In that moment, she felt a chilling reality wash over her, as if she were standing in the middle of a frozen wasteland. She was so cold that her entire body trembled.
The fragmented voices of her mother and others suddenly pieced together in her mind: "Xuan Yu has been flying to France these past few days to prepare for the wedding..."
