Late at night, we leaned on a mountain ridge, gazing at the starry sky. I offered him some snacks, and seeing him staring unblinkingly at the stars, I too became deeply absorbed. This was the first time I’d looked at the night sky so freely, and I couldn’t help but sigh: “The starry sky is so clear and pure now, having lost so much pollution.”
“Hmm?”
“Nothing.” I smiled.
“Sleep. We’ll continue our journey tomorrow.” He smiled like a gentle breeze, draping his outer garment over me. I deliberately exclaimed in surprise: “You look even more fragile than me. Are you sure you want to freeze to death here?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t die before taking you out of Night Mountain!” He glared at me fiercely. I laughed with a “got you” expression, and his pale eyes fixed on me, gradually breaking into a relieved laugh before turning to rest.
As he turned away, my smile instantly froze, my heart suffocating…
“Who could survive being stabbed in the heart… He was able to chase after me purely through willpower. I used medicine to quickly harden his wound. This medicine… can be used for a few days, so treasure it well.” He turned and walked towards the mountain, while I remained rooted to the spot like a wooden stake. He suddenly turned back, with a smile light as the breeze, “As long as the辰 King doesn’t come, I promise I won’t harm Ye Mountain by even a hair’s breadth! Go quickly…”
Ruo Han walked far away. I looked at the person still unconscious on the horse’s back, a heartache piercing me so painfully that I wanted to cry but
After a long time, I barely managed to calm myself, gently caressing that pale and clean face with a shallow smile: “No Ye Mountain, no prisoner, no king, no hatred… just the two of us…”
My life turned in an instant. I even hoped that Ye Suo was just that cold king, rather than a passionate person who could stab his heart for love.
But it’s good that from now on, there will only be the two of us, everything has ended…
