Chapter 481 Star-gazing at Night

After dinner, the sky gradually darkened.

Fang Ye called for Lan Li and said goodbye to Qunan and the others, preparing to go out and look at the stars.

Duoji reminded them, "Don't go too far!"

Fang Ye smiled and said, "Mm-hmm! No problem, we'll just take a look nearby and come back soon."

Lan Li's hands were tucked into the pockets of her down jacket as the two of them walked hand in hand, slowly moving through the outdoors.

The night was especially silent, and with a gust of cold wind, one could occasionally hear the deep bellowing of yaks, the barking of Tibetan mastiffs, and the echoing sounds of unknown wild animals between the distant mountains.

Fang Ye looked up, gazing at the starry sky, and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"

In areas where the stars were sparse and dim, the night sky took on a deep, profound black, while in places where the stars were plentiful, the sky was like a clear, light blue river. The brilliant constellations twinkled their bits of silver light, as if draping a layer of thin silver veil over the night sky.

At the border between these, the night sky was a calm, deep blue like the ocean.

The resplendent starry sky inspired endless imagination.

The highland has a high altitude, sparse atmosphere, fewer particulate matters, and minimal development, leading to less air pollution. Thus, the scattering of starlight is minimal, making the starry sky appear exceptionally clear.

The pure starlight rained down from the heavens like rainwater, falling upon this vast and desolate land and also into the hearts of people, seemingly saturating their souls.

Lan Li held Fang Ye's hand, looked up at the starry sky, then turned to look at Fang Ye and said sweetly with a smile, "Yes, it's very beautiful!"

What could be more romantic than enjoying the beautiful starry sky of the highland with one's lover?

After watching the stars for a while, the two returned to the house, as the night outside was still quite cold.

Naturally, they were to sleep in the same room.

Before going to bed, the two shared a kiss, today's kiss was particularly passionate.

As they kissed, Lan Li's eyes became watery, and Fang Ye's hand involuntarily slid under her waistband, feeling the scorching skin of the girl's waist.

Lan Li's face turned as red as a cooked shrimp, and even the roots of her ears felt hot!

She quickly separated from Fang Ye, "That's enough, that's enough! Let's go to sleep, we need to get up early tomorrow!"

Fang Ye chuckled, "How about we don't sleep in sleeping bags today? It would be nice to sleep together on this big bed!"

Lan Li said shyly, "Pervert!"

Although she wanted to refuse, she couldn't suppress the urge that surged up inside her, and in a heated whisper, she said, "It's okay to sleep together, but no touching allowed, okay?"

Not only were her arms wrapped around his back, but their legs were also entwined.

Fang Ye had woken up before Duoji came to call them!

He wanted to get up stealthily and remove Lan Li's hand, but she, in her sleep, clung to him and wouldn't let go. She even nestled happily in his arms, finding a more intimate and comfortable position.

Only then did Lan Li react, her face turning "whoosh" red, and she quickly released her hands and spread her legs.

...

After getting dressed, it was only 5 o'clock, and it was just beginning to dawn outside.

Duoji taught them another Tibetan phrase, "shokpa delek" for good morning, and they greeted Qunan and his family with smiles.

Fang Ye ate something and drank some scalding butter tea, feeling his body instantly warm up and his spirits lifted a good deal.

Stepping outside the house, he took a breath of the cold highland air in the morning and saw the hardworking mistress already milking the yaks, taking the opportunity to touch their docile yak.

By car, they ventured out, and between the mighty snow-capped mountains and beneath veils of clouds, half of a bright sun peeked out from the valley, tinting the sky with shades of pale orange.

There was even a beautiful orange halo, like a rainbow bridge suspended in the sky.

Qunan drove the car, winding through the mountain roads, and as the sun rose higher, the sky brightened.

They encountered a few herders on the road!

Qunan rolled down the window and communicated with the herders in Tibetan, then turned back and said something to them.

Duoji translated, "Qunan just asked them for news about the snow leopard. They said a yak was just attacked by a snow leopard, and we're heading to the site of the attack to see if we can find any traces of the snow leopard."

When they arrived at the place spoken of by the herders, all Fang Ye and the others saw was a somewhat bloody yak skull with a groove as if something had opened on top of its head. Qunan said the carcass of the yak had already been taken away by the herders.

The snow leopard would have left by now, and who knows how far it had gone.

They continued towards the depths of the canyon.

Arriving at a wide canyon ahead, Qunan stopped, feeling this area might reveal the snow leopard.

Fang Ye and the others then took out their binoculars and began to search among the towering mountains around them.

Seeing a snow leopard required enough luck and patience.

During the lengthy search, a group of bharal appeared on the ridge!

Walking leisurely across the ridgeline, there were probably more than a dozen of them, their heads bowed eating grass on the meadow.

Bharal were the snow leopard's main prey, could a snow leopard be nearby?
