Returning to this room, the night sky outside the bay window remained deep blue, the bright moon filtering through sparse tree branches, casting light and shadow on the floor. The night was quiet and soft, as if everything had been frozen in time eight years ago, just as she left.
Walking barefoot on the smooth floor, she curled up in the bay window cushion as before, her heart filled with complex emotions while looking at the familiar yet slightly strange night scene.
She never expected to return under such circumstances, and unexpectedly, it was he who brought her back after many years. Yet, she couldn’t and dared not tell anyone that she was the original owner of this room.
Gently stroking the soft cushion, she let the moonlight pour over her face, allowing the moisture in her eyes to blur her vision. There were too many beautiful memories here, instantly melting like snow and piercing her heart.
Suddenly, a hypothesis emerged in her mind: If she hadn’t met him back then, would her enchanted princess dream ever have awakened? Even knowing she wasn’t a real princess, would she have remained just another ordinary person in SZ city?
Would she have been truly content with such a mundane life?
“Without him… Di Xi Huang,” she whispered softly, gazing into the blue night sky.
His tall, imposing figure brought her a sense of loneliness, and his handsome face always carried a cold, domineering air. His eyes, like black crystals, held deep, unfathomable mystery. His thin lips were ruthless yet bore a captivating smile. This was the man she wasn’t sure she had ever hated but knew she had once loved deeply.
— I will always be by your side…
In a trance, his words felt like an oath, penetrating her defenses. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t moved. Even on this quiet night, her heart couldn’t calm from those profound emotions.
Tonight would be sleepless. Without turning on any lights, she navigated through the darkness, brewing a cup of rich coffee and returning to her favorite spot, allowing her thoughts to wander through beautiful memories.
An unusual sound startled her, drawing her attention to the balcony. Tiptoeing over, she saw a dark figure leap onto the balcony, backlit by moonlight, moving with agility. She was shocked — could it be someone from the Yamaguchi-gumi?
