Jiang Yuying, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. Well, she does have a preference for bitter coffee, after all.

Even before going to sleep, Jiang Yuying made a call to her secretary, asking her to order Ritni for her. She thought it was quite good and beneficial for the eyes.

Listening to this, Xie Li felt a mix of emotions, deeply considering Jiang Yuying's peculiar taste.

The next day, the weary family of three woke up relatively late. When Xie Li woke up, he found himself clinging to Jiang Yuying like a koala bear. His legs were sprawled over her, pressing her legs beneath, one hand reaching toward the other side of the bed, and the other hand resting on Jiang Yuying's shoulder, still holding onto her waistband...

Jiang Yuying, on the other hand, nestled obediently in his embrace, slightly turning her body, sleeping very honestly.

Honestly speaking, Xie Li rarely woke up to see Jiang Yuying still sleeping. The last time might have been when his plot succeeded, but it was very rare.

So, Xie Li felt a little confused and embarrassed. He quietly withdrew his limbs, feeling like a thief, and climbed out of bed.

But hearing the movement, Jiang Yuying also woke up. They freshened up, had brunch, and waited for a while before setting off to see the Northern Lights. This time, it was just the two of them; Xie Siyun was knocked down by the outside temperature and refused to go out, even coquettishly claiming to have caught a cold from yesterday and might be getting sick.

So Xie Li and Jiang Yuying went to the observation deck. When they arrived, the timing was just right, and the Northern Lights in the sky looked very low, with their brilliant spectacle mesmerizing Xie Li.

He had never seen the Northern Lights before, but he had read a description of them in a poem:

"Suddenly the sky high up is full of vitality,

The brilliance of a hundred banners shines down on the earth;

They leap and dance in space,

Arriving in haste, departing in haste,

The faint starlight pales in comparison."*

Xie Li had been very curious before, wondering what kind of sight it was, but when he finally saw it, he realized that even the most beautiful poetry couldn't describe one-tenth of its splendor.

The last time he saw such a magnificent and splendid sight was in summer, and the vast ocean made him feel lonely. The only person by his side at that time was Jiang Yuying.

Xie Li looked at Jiang Yuying beside him. She seemed to sense his gaze and turned her head to meet his eyes. Her face was intermittently illuminated by the Northern Lights, making it unclear, but Xie Li knew that she was looking at him, with only him in her gaze.

Xie Li knew himself. He was originally someone who avoided trouble, but he had decided to protect Jiang Yuying under his wing as soon as he arrived in this world. Until now, he had been supporting her little by little, allowing her to live happily on her own.

Why did he have to go to such lengths?

At first, perhaps out of resentment, a kind-hearted beautiful woman had been wronged by a scumbag and ended up being kicked out. Anyone who saw it would probably feel pity. Later, he treated her as a friend and was determined to change her fate... But what about now?

The sea in the distance lapped against the shore, the sound of waves rustling incessantly. The Northern Lights hanging high seemed distant yet close, with their colorful brilliance dancing around. The otherworldly and magnificent spectacle left Xie Li feeling dazed.

He kept his eyes fixed on Jiang Yuying, recalling every moment they had spent together.

It had been six months since Xie Li came to her side, and during these six months, they had been together day and night, never apart for a single day.

Xie Li had never been so intimate with anyone, sleeping neck to neck, waking up in each other's arms.

He had spent a long time as a girl, but it was also short. Twenty-six years encompassed his entire life so far, but it was like a fleeting moment under the eternal Northern Lights. In those twenty-six years, Xie Li had never tasted the flavor of love. He was born into a family that favored sons over daughters, and his parents soon had their beloved son.

In Xie Siyun's twenty-six years, she had already exerted all her strength to break away from her family, and then she had put in effort again to have a family of her own.

Nowadays, she had usurped someone else's nest and occupied someone else's home.

Xie Li began to feel afraid, afraid that one day the original body would return, and he would be kicked out. Xie Li reached out and, under Jiang Yuying's slightly surprised gaze, caressed her face.

Why was he afraid of the original body returning? Why had his desire to return home turned into fear?

Xie Li found the answer in his heart.

He asked softly, his voice almost drowned out by the sound of the waves.

"Will you love me forever?"

The Northern Lights reflected in Jiang Yuying's eyes, and her gaze remained unwavering:

"I will."

She said.
