Chapter 2 Stars and Winds Last Night

Long Xi grabbed something by her side. When she put it close to her eyes, it turned out to be yellow grass.

She felt as if her brain was going to explode in an instant. The broken fragments of memory sprang to mind, like the monochrome film which appeared cracked and vague because of time.

She held her head, trembling and biting her lip. She finally could not bear the sharp pain and shed a tear uncontrollably.

"Erm..." she growled and felt like her body was going to be torn apart.

At this time, a pair of healthy-skinned hands grasped Long Xi's twisted body and held her in his arms. A high-end diamond-studded watch was seen on his left wrist.

"If you're in pain, then cry out. Why did you force yourself to bear it and suppress your feelings?" A powerful male voice wrapped Long Xi's body, like magic, giving her power.

Long Xi, who was two months shy of her 18th birthday, broke her habit of forcing herself to bear the pain and cried out. "That hurts..."

Each of her nerves was pulled by the pain. She clung to his big hands with her pale ones, exerting her full strength. She did not know whether she took pity on it for the memory was too sad or reacted on the spur of the moment. Anyway, she was doing it without scruple.

Not knowing how long it took, she was unable to endure such severe pain and passed out.

The big slender hand was marked with terrible scratches, but its owner still let her hold tightly and had not tried to release his grip. He stared at the tear-stained pretty face; his expression became vague in the dark night.

After a good while, Long Xi regained consciousness and looked much calmer than just now.

The dark clouds covered the moon as well as the stars, except the lonely star left in the southwest of the sky.

She sat up and stared at the lonely star as if she had seen herself. She deliberately concealed her pessimism, as usual.

Someone was holding her. A handsome boy of about 20 years old had wheat-colored skin and a three-dimensional face. An air of arrogance was revealed between his eyebrows. What an amazing figure he had!

It was the first time Long Xi had been so close to a handsome man, aside from Yan Wangchuan, who grew up with her.

He was manly and fearless, different from Yan Wangchuan, who looked a bit effeminate.

Yan Wangchuan had a jade-like face and looked delicate like carved ivory. His milk-white skin looked as bright as moonlight and felt as smooth as silk, tender and flawless. It seemed be damaged by a touch. His eyes were bright and his eyelashes were as long and dense as feathered fans, which were more elegant than a pretty woman's eyes. His straight nose, red lips, slender figure, good taste of clothes, and melancholy and noble temperament made him look like Legolas Greenleaf in the "The Lord of the Rings".

However, the man in front of her was powerful, emanating a strong masculine aura, as well as a faint dangerous aura.

It was the first time that a grown-up man had embraced her. In other words, except for Yan Wangchuan, this was the first time that the opposite sex was willing to approach her.

People all said that she had a misfortune line of palm. She was destined to live alone. Her parents died because of her. People also said that her life was hard and would bring misfortune toward her husband, her parents, her children, and her relatives. Even her grandmother, who loved her the most, had once said that.

"Then why haven't I brought misfortune to you? Aren't you 82 years old? Grandma, all is nonsense!" She did not believe that her life was hard. It was superstition!

"My life is also hard! Not long after I married your grandfather, he died. And my only daughter passed away after 20 years. Well, it's not a big deal. I'll die with you!" A hint of fearlessness was revealed in the grandma's kind smile.

Long Xi did not know whether she was having a dream! Eventually, someone other than Grandma was embracing her! She missed her grandmother so much! Since she went to the boarding school, which was completely enclosed, she could only go home every weekend, so she had not seen her grandmother for several days.

"Hey, you woke up," the handsome guy said. The familiar words gently echoed in her ears.

"Ah?" Unfortunately, Long Xi was still in a daze.

Long Xi traced the voice and looked at a rock at the right front of her. A tall figure leaned there.

The figure approached Long Xi. His face came into view and became clear under the bonfire. It was also imprinted on Long Xi's mind.

A casual expression was revealed on his super handsome face.

His ice-blue eyes were narrowed, deep, lazy but sharp as if he were able to read her mind.

His nose was as straight as the ridge of mountains and seemed to be carved by knives. His lips were slightly compressed as if it were going to emit some dangerous signals.

His determined jaw outline made his chin look imposing and his neck was like a noble black swan's.

His ice-blue hair was combed back, revealing his forehead, which gave him a domineering air. His hair end glowed with blue light, like the color when night fell.

He was tall and slender. His long hooded wind coat in Morandi color was stylish, which made him imposing.

Didn't the long wind coat belong to Long Xi's costume design?

She was fascinated by his appearance and temporarily forgot to doubt it.

"Hey, are you alright?" His big bronze hand waved in front of Long Xi's eyes.

She came to her senses. "Hrm, where am I? Why am I here? And, sorry, who are you?!"

Faced with a series of questions, the blue-eyed man touched his head, with a faint smile revealed in his eyes. He whispered in a somewhat impatient voice, "You're at the back of the mountain in your school. You saved me an hour and a half ago. You really can't recall it?"

Somehow, his calm tone had a hint of banter.

Hearing this, Long Xi was stunned. After a good while, she murmured, "Really?"

The blue-eyed man's gaze involuntarily fell on her face.

She was pretty, but her eyes were the most beautiful part, like clear springs which gave people a refreshing taste. There was a butterfly-shaped birthmark on the lower part of her milk-white cheek. He did think that it was not ugly but special!

He actually had a feeling of his heart beating fast. What was wrong with him?

Long Xi tried hard to think about it with her full strength. However, she could not recall anything. She seemed to have lost some fragments in her river of memory, which made her a little anxious. Her tender, pretty face went red like two pieces of apples so that people could not help but want to take a bite.

"Are you Long Xi? You're from this planet. right? Is this planet called Earth?" He threw a series of questions.

She raised her head and stared at him with her eyes opened wide. A series of questions popped into her mind. "He actually knew my name? He asked whether I was from this planet, that means?"

A tumultuous wave of shock arose in her heart. "Are, are you an alien? How did you know my name?"
