Chapter 353: The Ever-Growing Constellation.
"Sorry, but I can't help myself. Your skin is so soft and tempting. It's like a sweet nectar, calling out to be savored." Asher said, grinning as he licked his lips playfully. His blue eyes danced with a mischievous glint, making it clear that he had done it on purpose.
Lei Liwei, on the other hand, felt her heart pounding faster in her chest at the sight of them being so close and intimate with each other. She couldn't tear her eyes away from them as she felt her body heating up and her mind becoming a mess.
"Uhh, stop being so flirty..." Lei Liwei mumbled as she averted her gaze, trying to regain her composure and hide the flush of her cheeks.
However, Asher took her by the waist, pulling her close, causing her breath to hitch as he leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Why are you avoiding eye contact? Aren't we supposed to spend time with each other?"
"I..." Lei Liwei began to speak but found her words catching in her throat, her heart racing at the unexpected proximity and his touch. She felt the warmth radiating from his hand on her waist, and his naked torso brushed against her soft, round breasts, separated only by a layer of fabric.
It caused an intense wave of sensations to course through her veins. The warmth and hardness of his muscles against her own soft curves, combined with his intoxicating scent that wafted over her senses, was making her head foggy, clouding her thoughts and judgment.
Then she felt Asher fall on the ground with his back against the soft grass and the both of them lying on each side of him, their bodies pressed close against him. Cai Yan had already snuggled into his right arm with a happy smile and was caressing the well-toned abs of Asher, while Lei Liwei, on his left side, seemed hesitant about what to do.
As they settled down, silence enveloped the three of them, allowing their thoughts and emotions to swirl around within them.
The sound of their breathing and the gentle breeze were all they could hear.
This made Lei Liwei relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere surrounding her. She looked up, gazing into the dark sky filled with a sea of stars that seemed to go on forever. It was an awe-inspiring sight that filled her with wonder and reverence.
Asher followed her gaze and stared into the endless expanse above, his thoughts wandering in the vastness of the universe.
"Liwei... Do you know that the universe is vast beyond our comprehension?" Asher asked, breaking the comfortable silence between them.
"Yes. I know." Liwei nodded in response.
"And that we, humans, are like tiny stars compared to its vastness? Our lives may seem insignificant in comparison, yet they are still full of wonder and potential." He continued, his voice taking on a more introspective tone. "Every person's life is like a star that twinkles in the darkness. Each has their own unique radiance, illuminating their own path and touching those around them."
"Indeed," Cai Yan added, "But sometimes, the twinkling stars in the sky may be a part of a constellation. They are connected and form a bigger picture that can't be seen if looked separately. In a similar way, our lives are interconnected with the lives of those around us, creating a greater tapestry that is woven by our collective actions, decisions, and destinies. Just like how each star is a part of a constellation, our lives are intertwined with others in meaningful ways, creating something bigger than ourselves."
"Yes." Asher smiled, agreeing with Cai Yan's words. He then turned to look at Lei Liwei, whose aquamarine eyes reflected the shimmering light of the stars. "And my dear, Lei Liwei. I heard that you don't like the fact of being involved with someone who already has many lovers. But I want you to understand one thing. It is that I don't see these girls as mere playthings. Rather, they are all like stars in my life, each having a unique radiance that lights up a part of me. Together, they form a constellation that illuminates the whole sky of my world, bringing meaning and beauty to it. Just like how the stars above us create a stunning display of celestial majesty. Without each of them, the constellation would not be complete."
Asher's words were like a soothing melody that flowed over Lei Liwei, calming and comforting her. His explanation of how he viewed the girls in his life helped her see things from a different perspective, and it resonated deep within her soul.
She couldn't help but feel touched and reassured by his words. It was clear to her that Asher didn't just have a superficial connection with these girls; rather, he truly cared about them and valued each of them in his heart.
It was something she already knew, but sometimes it was necessary to hear it from someone's own mouth, and that was the case for Lei Liwei.
So she smiled and said in a gentle, soft voice that flowed like honey, "I understand, Asher. I'm sorry for my doubts and hesitations. I was afraid of something I didn't understand, but now I do."
She looked at the night sky once again, her gaze lingering on the twinkling stars. Their beauty seemed even more mesmerizing than before. Then, slowly, her gaze turned to the young man holding her in his arms, a playful smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
"But you know what? Your constellation seems ever-growing. So I guess it won't hurt if one more star joins in, will it?" Lei Liwei asked in a teasing tone. She had decided that maybe it wasn't a bad idea to get close to him, considering how he saw her and the other girls in his life.
Asher chuckled at her words, his eyes dancing with amusement. "Of course not. My sky is always there to welcome more stars, and each addition adds to the beauty of the night. The more the better, as they say, right?"
