That day, Tianye felt particularly discouraged. The once-arrogant young master suddenly felt useless, unable to control his own love or destiny.
He ignored the housekeeper who had been by his side and climbed to the rooftop of the massive building. The courtyard felt too murky, and he wanted to clear his mind with some cool breeze. After entering the rooftop door, he looked up.
A girl was sitting with her back against something. The girl on the roof had her legs hanging down along the outer wall, her body wedged under the rooftop lamp’s railing. Her two slender white arms were stretched across the railing, her head resting on her arms, gazing into the distance. Tianye looked at her – her face was long and round, her skin fair and delicate, quite beautiful.
Although she looked dispirited, there was still an intriguing quality about her that sparked curiosity. Tianye walked over, stood beside the girl, and only then realized this was Siku’s daughter.
Tianye didn’t particularly dislike her, but he didn’t want to talk to her and was about to turn and leave.
Siku Xiaoshuang didn’t move but suddenly said, “We’re both wanderers, why walk away from each other?” She spoke softly and tenderly, but her words struck Tianye’s heart.
Tianye turned back, looked at her, hesitated, and decided to stay. “Are you being forced too?”
Xiaoshuang turned her head, looked at Tianye, and after a moment said, “Yes, my father always imposes his will on me.”
Tianye, feeling helpless about his father’s cruelty, had unexpectedly found a kindred spirit. So he sat down, mimicking Xiaoshuang’s posture, his head drooping on his arms across the railing…
Want to fool someone? Tianye thought for a moment, “Got it, we’ll fool each other, haha, we’ll pretend to agree, then make them lose their guard. We’ll just go through the motions, and they won’t be watching us so closely every day.” Tianye kept laughing at Si Xiaoshuang, feeling this was a completely new attempt.
No matter where you are, I will always think of you. No matter where you are, I will always be with you. Even if we are scattered across the world, my heart will forever be with you.
