The scorching flames flared constantly before his eyes, but they did not disturb Yu Wenye's thoughts until a gentle breath approached, pulling him from the dark abyss.
Turning his head, he saw Shang Ruyi walking towards him.
The firelight washed away the blood stains previously caught on the banks of the Cangtou River, making her cheeks extraordinarily white and clean, though slimmer than when she left, which seemed to provoke more sympathy.
Yu Wenye couldn't help but feel his heart soften.
However, before he could speak, Shang Ruyi had already come over and sat down. After a moment's thought, she leaned closer to him, and after a while of silence, she rested her head upon his shoulder, letting her soft, fragrant breath immediately envelop him.
Yu Wenye was slightly dazed.
