Amor bajo las estrellas lejanas

Capítulo 90

She foolishly stuck out her right ear and said hopefully, "Give it to her."

My cousin turned his head away and said dismissively, "No."

"Am I not your most beloved younger sister?!" she asked, puzzled.

He replied, "Fool, your most beloved sister and your most cherished woman are different!"

"Oh." She seemed to understand, but not quite. All she knew was that the beautiful stars didn't belong to her. Yet, she longed to possess them.

Now she understands the meaning of her cousin's words. She just wonders whose right ear her cousin has embedded that silver star in?

The memories are as vivid as yesterday.

At this moment, a gentle autumn breeze was blowing. A tall man stood outside the window, leaning lazily against the wall, while a woman stood at the window, gazing at the man with teary eyes.

Although separated by a window, he seemed to blend into the world around him, his aura gentle and familiar, as warm and welcoming as ever.

One couldn't help but cry, while the other smiled faintly and waited for her to finish crying...

for a long time……

Li Yu jumped into the room through the window. He had been using the window frequently lately and had almost forgotten that the house even had a door.

Thinking of this, he first shook his head and chuckled, then said to Xiri, "Little Ri, when did you become so pessimistic? You weren't like this five years ago."

Xi Ri had stopped crying, but was still listless, saying, "People always grow up, and they always change."

"Don't you want to marry Prince Ming?"

Xi Ri nodded.

4D "Why?"

"Why?" Xi Ri murmured, as if repeating herself, or perhaps asking herself. Why? ...

"Is there someone else in your heart?"

He remained silent all day.

Who is it?

They remained silent.

"Long Ming?"

She looked up in surprise! How could her cousin have guessed it was Long Ming? Did her cousin also know that she knew Long Ming?

Seeing Xi Ri's expression, Li Yu suddenly stomped her foot, "It really is him!" She gritted her teeth angrily, her knuckles cracking.

Xi Ri looked at her cousin with confusion, wondering if Long Ming and her third cousin had some kind of grudge.

Li Yu said, "What's wrong with taking the right path?"

"This..." Xi Ri was taken aback by the question, and replied, "There's nothing wrong with Third Brother, it's just that at first, I thought he was a playboy..."

Before Xi Ri could finish speaking, Li Yu interrupted her again. "Ming Lu is quite the ladies' man?" Li Yu's eyebrows almost stood on end.

"He has seven wives...?" The atmosphere was a bit tense, so I answered carefully.

"Seven wives? What's so special about that? You're being too petty," Li Yu said, seemingly indignant.

Xi Ri looked at her cousin with surprise and doubt, thinking to herself: He was just now making sarcastic remarks about Ming Lu having seven wives, how come he has changed his mind in such a short time?

"Cousin, you don't have a grudge against Long Ming, do you?" Xi Ri asked cautiously, squinting her eyes.

Li Yu suddenly glared at her, and Xi Ri was startled. She then heard her cousin grit his teeth and say hatefully, "Our hatred runs deep!"

I was shocked! Thinking about it, all the elders in Suzhou were alive and well, and those who had passed away had died peacefully in their old age. My cousin had no wife, let alone children. Where did this deep-seated hatred come from? Just as I was pondering this, my cousin pressed me with the question: "Why do you like Long Ming?"

Xi Ri hurriedly replied, "I never said I liked him!"

"So you're saying you don't like him?" Upon hearing this, Third Brother's eyes immediately lit up with joy.

Seeing this, Xi Ri could only remain silent.

Third Brother let out a long sigh, patted Xiri on the shoulder and advised, "I think Prince Minglu is quite good. This lad is very much to my liking."

I secretly thought to myself: It's only been a short while, and I've already won your heart?

"What benefits did he give you?" Xi Ri asked tentatively.

Li Yu looked Xi Ri up and down a few times, then snorted disdainfully and said, "Besides the mask you made, what else in this world can easily move me?"

That's true. This cousin grew up in luxury, never lacking anything. And because he's the only disciple of the Medicine King, countless people lined up with rare treasures for him. While my third cousin isn't as arrogant as Long Ming, he's still someone who lacks nothing. What moves him, what makes him visit her so frequently, is naturally the human skin mask she made, and the disguise technique he's always wanted to learn but couldn't. Xi Ri once guessed that perhaps because he'd offended too many people, or perhaps because too many women were pursuing him, he'd been living by constantly changing masks for the past five years. Without a mask for the past five years, he must have had a very difficult time. But Xi Ri doubted whether the masks were truly effective. The crescent moon on his left ear was like a mark; changing masks wouldn't help, would it? Yet my cousin insisted on it, knowing it was a flaw but deliberately making it so. It's incomprehensible.

Li Yu suddenly sighed and said quietly, "Minglu is a lot like me."

Huh? How is it similar? Xi Ri looked completely bewildered, then suddenly thought of the word 'romantic'.

Sure enough, my cousin sighed softly, "No one will say a man is wrong if he is a womanizer all his life, but if he falls in love once, his past womanizing becomes a big mistake, an irreparable mistake..." My cousin sighed with deep feeling and said, "Little one, if you can, give him a chance."

Xi Ri remained silent, automatically adding a line to her cousin's next words: "Don't be like me, disliked by the one you love." Her cousin must have been speaking from the heart, referring to himself. Alas, it seems even a Casanova as invincible as her cousin has suffered heartbreak.

Xi Ri sighed, "Cousin, please accept my condolences."

Bang... Her head was hit hard, and Li Yu scolded, "Who are you telling to grieve! Grieve what! I'm talking about you and Minglu! Were you even listening?! The older you get, the less you behave."

"Yes! Yes! Cousin is right, Cousin is the most reasonable, Cousin is the greatest." Xi Ri carefully apologized.
