Wu Pengpeng stared at the twinkling star, her heart wrapped in a vast warmth.
She had lived in another world for thirty years, and in the end, even her death was silent. Even if she disappeared from that world, no one would care.
After coming to this world, she borrowed someone else's body and identity. On the surface, it seemed that she had a lot of things, but in fact, nothing truly belonged to her.
Now, in this boundless universe, there was a star exclusively for her.
Even if one day she was no longer around, when people saw that distant star, they would know that a person named "Wu Pengpeng" had once been in this world.
Wu Pengpeng turned her head and looked at He Qianshan. Suddenly, her eyes turned red. "Yanshen..."
Hearing her trembling voice, He Qianshan turned his head and was about to comfort her when Wu Pengpeng suddenly seemed to remember something. Her face changed abruptly. "Where did you get the money? Buying a planet must cost a fortune, right?"
This question came late but it came. Fortunately, He Qianshan had already thought up an excuse.
"I've been in the industry for six years after all. I do have some savings." He deliberately put on a regretful look. "I originally planned to take you to the northern countries to watch the aurora, but now it seems I don't have the money for it for the time being."
"It doesn't matter. I'll take you!" As expected, Wu Pengpeng was easily deceived. She immediately began to plan excitedly. "Let's go this winter. We can also go skiing in Switzerland by the way."
Looking at her beaming face, He Qianshan felt so happy. "Sure!"
The two snuggled up to each other and looked at the starry sky. He Qianshan pointed out the constellations in the sky to Wu Pengpeng and told her the story behind each one.
Wu Pengpeng propped her chin with one hand and stared intently at He Qianshan's profile. She silently sighed in her heart at the unfairness of the Creator. How could he be so partial to him, giving him all the good things.
"Yanshen..." She suddenly spoke.
He Qianshan turned his head and looked at her with a smile.
Wu Pengpeng stared at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly said seriously, "I'm sorry."
Her expression was so serious that He Qianshan couldn't help but become alert.
Could it be that while he was away, she had given him a cuckold?
Seeing the subtle changes in He Qianshan's expression, Wu Pengpeng already guessed that there must have been a wild brainstorm in his mind.
She couldn't help but let out a "扑哧" laugh, like a little fox that had successfully played a prank.
Seeing her laugh, He Qianshan couldn't help but laugh too. "Sorry for what?"
Wu Pengpeng deliberately moved a little closer to him and laughed like a little hooligan. "I'm afraid I might do something excessive to you later, so it's better to apologize first..."
The unfinished flirtation was swallowed up by a sudden deep kiss. The two kissed from under the starry sky into the tent.
In a state of extreme oxygen deprivation in her brain, Wu Pengpeng could still manage to think that she should have gone to live in Wu Ju's viewing villa.
Doing it in this kind of place for the first time was really a bit...
Before her amorous thoughts could be completed, they were interrupted by the ringing of the phone. Without even looking, Wu Pengpeng reached out to take out her phone and pressed the reject button. Before her hand could be retracted, the phone rang again. She pressed it off again, but the phone kept ringing.
He Qianshan let go of her, and his smiling voice sounded softly in her ear. "Answer the phone first. I'll wait for you."
I don't know if it was because Wu Pengpeng was in the heat of passion, but she always felt that "I'll wait for you" carried some kind of self - evident invitation, which made her heart skip a beat.
She picked up the phone and saw "Shen Qianqian" on the screen.
Wu Pengpeng sighed helplessly. Her little assistant really was always at the forefront of ruining her good deeds.
In the end, she still answered the phone, with a hint of annoyance in her voice at having her good deed interrupted. "What's up?"
"Sister Peng!" As soon as Shen Qianqian on the other end of the phone heard her voice, she cried even louder. "Come back quickly. Lu Jingran is in trouble!"
The amorous thoughts in Wu Pengpeng's mind disappeared without a trace in an instant. Her brows frowned involuntarily. "Don't cry first. Explain the situation clearly!"
Tonight, "The Twelve Zodiacs" were invited to a brand's press conference. When they were leaving after the event, Lu Jingran was stabbed by the father of a crazy fan. He was now in the operating room for emergency treatment.
Wu Pengpeng felt a numbness in her scalp. She should have expected this day would come. She should have prepared earlier to protect their safety.
Seeing that she had been in a daze since hearing the news, He Qianshan couldn't help but be a bit worried. "Don't worry. He'll definitely be okay."
Hearing He Qianshan's voice, Wu Pengpeng's consciousness, which had been trapped in self - blame, slowly came back. A sense of fear welled up in her heart.
Lu Jingran lived with his mother. His mother was in poor health. If anything happened to Lu Jingran, it would be like taking that poor woman's life.
What if...
Wu Pengpeng didn't dare to think anymore. She raised her hand and covered her face painfully, suppressing the fear and regret in her voice. "It's all my fault."
Seeing her so self - blaming, He Qianshan felt very sad too. He comforted her gently. "Don't think too much. It's not your fault. You've done everything you could for them. No one could have predicted such an accident."
Wu Pengpeng wasn't comforted by his words at all. Instead, she felt even more self - blaming.
Although she had equipped "The Twelve Zodiacs" with the most professional security team, her original intention wasn't to ensure their safety, but because it would cost more money.
Look, she was such a selfish person. Every step she took was to live longer.
Although she didn't mean to harm them, her actions were like a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon River, which was enough to cause a tornado.
She just wanted to squander money, but she had pushed the innocent young man into the abyss of death.
After a long silence, Wu Pengpeng shook her head and murmured very softly. "You don't understand. It's my fault."
After coming to this world, in order to preserve her own life, she had never treated others sincerely except for He Qianshan.
Everyone she met was divided into different grades in her heart according to their ability to help her squander money. Those who were useful were used, and those who were not were discarded.
"You don't understand," she repeated in a low voice again. "It was originally my fault."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, He Qianshan could only drive the car faster so that she could arrive at the hospital earlier and relieve her sense of guilt a little.
Fortunately, the stab wound didn't hit a vital part. Although Lu Jingran suffered a lot, he managed to keep his life.
Wu Pengpeng suspended all of "The Twelve Zodiacs" performances to let Lu Jingran recover well.
"I'm sorry!" Lu Jingran looked at the girl in front of him. He was both happy and a bit guilty.
Wu Pengpeng was peeling an apple for him. Hearing this, she lifted her eyelids and looked at him in confusion. "You're the victim. What do you have to apologize for?"
Lu Jingran was a bit embarrassed under her gaze and slightly shifted his eyes. "... I've delayed the work. The liquidated damages..."
"That's not something you need to worry about." Wu Pengpeng handed him the peeled apple and said in a tone of comforting a child. "You just focus on getting better. I'll handle the other things."
That tone was exactly the same as when parents said "You just need to study hard. Don't worry about other things." It was so rational that it made people angry.
From the very beginning, she had regarded him as a child.
Lu Jingran looked at the apple in his hand that was peeled unevenly by her for a while. As if he had drawn some kind of courage from it, he raised his head and looked at her with burning eyes. "Pengpeng."
Wu Pengpeng was caught off guard by his calling her like this. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then she thought that he might have felt that calling her "Sister Xiaowu" was too formal and not like a way friends addressed each other, so she let it go.
"What's up?" She said with a smile. "Although the apple is peeled ugly, I'm a person who can't stand criticism. If you criticize me, I won't peel apples for you next time."
But Lu Jingran ignored her joking. He said seriously word by word, "I'll work hard in the future, earn money diligently, and make 'The Twelve Zodiacs' a top - tier boy band renowned all over the world."
Looking at his serious eyes, Wu Pengpeng felt a bit of a headache. This kid had too strong a sense of career!
She replied perfunctorily. "Yeah. Let's talk about it after you recover."
Just as she finished speaking, the prompt sound of a text message rang. She took out her phone and glanced at it. A smile appeared on her face.
Lu Jingran's heart sank. The next second, he saw her raise her head and give him an apologetic smile. "You recover well first. I have something else to do. I have to leave first."
Saying that, she stood up, picked up her bag and was about to leave.
Lu Jingran told himself in his heart that he must be a rational adult and not be regarded by her as an unreasonable child.
But when his sight caught the faint smile on her lips, his rationality was instantly destroyed by jealousy. He turned into an unreasonable child in a second.
He sneered and said, "Are you going to abandon me, a sick person, and go on a date?"
