Love You Till the End-Chapter 731 - 728: Reckless
A few seconds later, another shooting star streaked across...
This beam of light also disappeared instantly, even without lingering much, melting bit by bit into the night sky.
The beauty of a shooting star lies in that moment of brilliance, in the instant it disappears, in the etherealness of life coming to an end.
"So beautiful!"
Standing not far away, Keke shouted towards the night sky.
Her voice echoed off the surrounding cliffs and stayed hanging in the air for a long time without dissipating.
Shen Cheng glanced at Shi Mei and softly said, "Go keep your sister company."
Looking in the direction where Keke was, Shi Mei curved his lips into a smile, "She’s used to being alone. Moreover, she’s stronger than you think."
As the only girl in the Shi Family, Keke has always been mature for her age, much more so compared to her peers.
To outsiders, she is the beloved and pampered young lady of a wealthy family, loved and cherished, raised in a honeypot.
Her grandfather is highly respected, her parents are capable businesspeople, and her two older brothers are accomplished and doting on her.
But only Keke herself knows that being born into such a family means she should not be complacent, not greedily enjoying comforts, not doing as she pleases, but rather, striving to do her best.
She could not disgrace the Shi Family, so through the years, she has never indulged herself. Others ate and sang karaoke, she studied. Others made friends and dated, she studied. Others graduated and returned home to be idle, she was still studying.
Being a lawyer might not have been her original intention, but becoming a successful lawyer is what she wants.
"Even the strongest of women have their moments of weakness, including me, and including her."
It is only now that Shen Cheng realizes, the stronger a person is, the more likely they are to be fragile, like herself.
Before she fell in love with that man, she was not even afraid of death, but as her heart gradually lost its defenses, she began to fear...
Fear is a woman’s most vulnerable point.
"Ah! So beautiful!"
Keke shouted towards the night sky, as if using all her strength to pour out all her happiness and unhappiness.
One meteor after another shot rapidly across the night, dazzling as daylight, leaving an unforgettable beauty.
"Go have a look at her."
Looking at the direction where Keke was, Shen Cheng spoke again.
This time, Shi Mei did not refuse.
He grunted affirmatively, turned, and walked towards where Keke was, only to realize upon getting closer that Keke was leaning over the railings at the edge of the cliff.
His expression darkened and he immediately pulled her back.
"Are you trying to kill yourself?" His tone was reproachful.
Pulled aside suddenly like that, Keke’s body quickly leaned backward; because the ground was uneven, she stumbled and nearly fell.
Seeing this, Shi Mei stretched out his long arm promptly, grabbed her shoulders to steady her swaying body, reminded her in a low voice to "Stand firm," and then let her go.
Looking up at the man who was standing above her, Keke raised her delicate eyebrows, "Speak if you want, why pull at me. If there hadn’t been a railing just now, I would have fallen off the cliff. You say I’m careless, but it seems you’re the one trying to take my life."
Having just been frightened, her attitude towards Shi Mei naturally wasn’t great.
"Enough talk, come with me over there."
Shi Mei gave her a cold look, then turned and walked away.
