Five minutes later, everyone gathered at the door and set off with a flashlight.. Trevor also prepared some drinks. They were all set for their stargazing date.
Angela had never experienced strolling in the forest at night, so she was excited. While her long hair hung loosely on her shoulders, she wore light-gray sportswear with long sleeves and trousers, as well as hiking shoes. She looked full of vigor, even in the dark.
The entire team consciously let her walk in front of Richard, while Trevor and Jared explored the way in front, leaving Sean and Willy walking behind, chatting.
In the mountains, fireflies and swaying shadows of trees could be seen everywhere, making the whole mountain a mysterious and vibrant scene.
“Ah-” Angela accidentally kicked a stone and fell forward. Richard, who was behind her, immediately grabbed her arm and helped her stand firm.
Behind him, Sean and Willy looked at each other knowingly and smiled. They were creating opportunities for their captain.
They managed to navigate through the narrow path and admire the peculiar rocks at night. There was also a little fountain nearby, accompanied by the lively sound of frogs. Eventually, they arrived at the top of the hill.
The tiled stones were suitable for lying down and gazing at the starry sky. At that moment, the starry sky in fall was clear and cloudless, as if the Milky Way flowing through the vast starry sky was visible, which was extremely spectacular.
Richard sat on a rock, and Angela sat beside him. He stretched out his hand to pull her up, while the others lay down on the other rocks and started chatting about the fun of growing up.
Angela hugged her legs, looked up at the starry sky, and listened to their interesting stories. Compared with their colorful lives, Angela’s life had been a regular growth process since childhood.
Since her mother was reluctant to have a second child, she became the only child in the family. She had worked hard to attend various expensive cram schools since she was a child.
She was not a pianist, but she passed the eighth grade; she was not a dancer, but she had great dance skills. Her mother wanted her to take over the family business, so she went abroad to study finance. Later, however, she could not continue her studies and suffered from anxiety, so her mother made her switch to a philosophy major.
At that time, the nerdy Angela met Dexter, hoping his love could be her redemption. However, he turned out to be a liar, which almost ruined her life.
Now, she wondered, why was life so tiring? Doing what she wanted was the best way to live in the moment.
“Willy, it seems like I still have a program to write,” Sean suddenly said and stood up.
“Now that you’ve mentioned it, I think I have some work to do as well,” Trevor hurriedly agreed.
“Let’s go. Let’s get back to work. We’ll let Captain accompany Miss Meyers to watch the stars!” Jared pulled Willy up as they all turned to leave.
“Hey! Don’t you guys want to look at the stars?” Angela shouted to their backs.
“Miss Meyers, let the Captain accompany you! It’s time for us to get back to work,” Sean turned back and said with a smile.
In a blink of an eye, the four people disappeared at the corner of the downhill stone, and the sound of footsteps soon faded away.
Without their boisterous voices, the mountain top suddenly fell silent as the cool night breeze brushed upon their figures.
At this moment, Angela’s involuntarily started turning crimson. She soon realized that Trevor and the rest weren’t trying to stargaze at all! They were just deliberately creating an opportunity for her and Richard to be alone!
Sure enough, they had misunderstood. They thought the two of them were together, so they arranged this.
She stole a glance at the man beside her and noticed that he seemed unconcerned about this matter at all as he stared at the distant starry night sky; she didn’t know what he was thinking.
