C47 Looking at the Stars

They played around all the way back to the huge cave where they first met Bai Siyun. It was already nightfall by the time they reached the cave. The sky was dotted with stars, and there was even a big moon. Meng Yang squatted at the entrance of the cave and stared at the starry sky. The last time he had been able to look at the stars so peacefully was before he transmigrated. Thinking about it now, it seemed that the transmigration had happened yesterday. Meng Yang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Ling handed Meng Yang a large pile of various kinds of words. Meng Yang subconsciously took them and said, "Hehe, what is Master thinking about?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about some things."

Ling also sat down next to Meng Yang and said, "Master, the stars today are so beautiful."

"Yeah, they are very beautiful. I wonder when the next time I can look at the stars so comfortably."

At this time, Bai Siyun tiptoed out of the cave and quickly placed a very ugly flower on Ling's head. Although Ling noticed it, she did not react.

"Hey? Ling, what's wrong with you? Weren't you resisting so strongly just now? Could it be that you know that you can't resist anymore, so you chose to give in?"

Ling took the flower off her head and threw it to the side. "No, I'm looking at the stars with Master."

"Looking at the stars?" Bai Siyun looked up at the sky and asked, "What is there to see?"

"I don't know. Master is watching, so I'm just accompanying him."

"Oh? This kid?" Bai Siyun lightly kicked Meng Yang's foot. "Hey, kid, stop looking. Let Ling play with me."

"Hmm?" Meng Yang came back to his senses. "What does Ling playing with you have to do with me watching the stars?"

"You, Ling said she wanted to play with you and not me. What do you think it has to do with you?"

"What do you mean? Do I need your permission to play with you? Do you believe I won't beat you up?"

As she spoke, Bai Siyun's aura locked onto Meng Yang. Meng Yang felt his breath go out, and he couldn't catch his breath.

Meng Yang's face turned slightly pale, but he didn't say anything. Seeing that her pressure didn't have the desired effect, Bai Siyun retracted her pressure. She crossed her arms and looked unhappy. "Kid, what's so good about the stars? Can't you see them every day?"

Meng Yang patted the empty space beside him, indicating for Bai Siyun to sit down. Although Bai Siyun was a little unwilling, she still sat down beside Meng Yang.

Meng Yang pointed at the stars in the sky. "Look, although a single star is just a bright spot, it really isn't anything to see. But you can connect many stars together, and you will see many different things. Sometimes, when you have nothing to do, you can quietly look at the stars and appreciate the beauty of the night sky."

"Is it very relaxing?" Bai Siyun also looked at the stars thoughtfully. Although she did not say anything, she would occasionally reveal a smile. Sometimes, she would even smile until her eyes narrowed into a line, but she refused to laugh.

"Kid, I admit that looking at the stars is indeed a little interesting."

"Hehe, if you say so, should I thank you?"

"There's no need for thanks, but then again, why are you so engrossed in looking at the stars? It doesn't seem as simple as just looking at the stars."

Meng Yang nodded slightly. "You're right. I'm not just looking at the stars. I'm thinking about something."

"Something? What is it?"

"I'm thinking about some people that are very important to me, but I can't see them now."

"Those people are very important, but they can't be seen now?"

"That's right. For example, my family or my friends. Although I can't see them now, they are under the same starry sky as me. So, it's easy to think of where they are doing and what they are doing."

"Humans are really emotional."

"You can try it. It's very useful."

"Although I'm very curious if this method is useful, I don't have the person I want."

"There's no person I want? How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible? There has never been such a person in my memory."

"Your parents or friends can all do it."

Bai Siyun smiled self-deprecatingly. "I was born from an egg, and I haven't seen my parents since the moment I hatched. Furthermore, I was born in this place where the strong prey on the weak. In this place, anyone can kill you. The only thing you can do is to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can you kill those creatures who want to kill you. Friends are too far away for me."

"I'm sorry." Meng Yang didn't know that Bai Siyun had been alone since she was young. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a little pitiful.

"Hmm? Why are you saying sorry? In my memories, you are the only one who said sorry to me."

"Is that so? Then it's really an honor. But then again, in my knowledge, aren't tigers born from eggs? How did you come out from an egg? Is there such a tiger? "

"I don't know either. Maybe I was destined to be alone. Otherwise, why would I give up on my parents?"

"I'm alone? Maybe things aren't as bad as you think."

"Not as bad as you think? What do you know? Do you know how I have been through these few hundred years? You have no idea how hopeless it is to be alone."

"I really don't understand how hopeless it is to be alone for a few hundred years. What I mean is, from now on, you might not be alone anymore." Meng Yang stretched out a hand. "How about it? Do you mind having a friend like me?"

"Friend?" Bai Siyun looked at Meng Yang's extended hand, confused. The word "friend" was unfamiliar to Bai Siyun, and she yearned for it.

"Why? Are you not willing? If you are not willing, then forget it. Maybe I was too rude." Meng Yang was about to retract his hand.

"Wait, I'm willing, I'm willing." Bai Siyun quickly grabbed Meng Yang's hand with both hands. "I just didn't react in time. Meng Yang, can I call you that?"

"Of course."

"Meng Yang, thank you."

"Beep. Rare biological creature Bai Siyun's relationship with host increased to 5. It is automatically classified as a friendly biological creature."

"Congratulations Siyun, you have another friend." Ling picked up the bouquet of flowers that she had given to Meng Yang and gave it to Bai Siyun.

"Another friend?"

"Yeah, isn't Ling Siyun Siyun's friend?"

Only then did Bai Siyun realize that she had been playing with Ling for so long, and Ling had already treated her as a friend. She took the flowers from Ling and said, "That's right, Ling Siyun is my first friend."
