Seven days had passed since Xing Luoye vanished from the palace. There was still no news about him at all.
Every morning, Yue Yue woke up with a tiny bit of hope, but by every evening, that hope was gone. He had not returned to her.
She had gone to his empty room countless times. She would sit on the edge of the cold bed for hours, staring at the door.
She waited for him to walk through it and apologize, but the room stayed silent. Each time, she eventually had to walk back to her own room with a heavy heart.
She sat by her window today, feeling very dejected. She knew in her heart that he had probably left to save his brother, Xing Luoguang.
But she couldn't understand why he didn't at least come back to tell her if they were safe. Didn't he know that she was worried about them too?
