Why is this world, this place, so beautiful and yet so scary?
Su Yin watched, her eyelashes trembling slightly. Qian Yue beside her suddenly spoke, "The more beautiful something is, the more out of reach it seems. Yet, I still can't help but be drawn to it. Isn't that ridiculous?"
"What did you say?" Su Yin woke up from his thoughts and looked at Qian Yue. He frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant.
"No." Qian Yue's voice was deep, yet light, floating in the wind. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at her with a gleam in his eyes, "Do you like it?"
"...I like it." Su Yin answered hesitantly, but she didn't know what he was asking.
"But what's the difference after watching the scenery for hundreds of years? In the past, I never raised my head on my own initiative, but in the cage, I look up and think every day, longing for freedom." A trace of loneliness flashed in Qian Yue's eyes, as if he was missing something.
"Cage?" Su Yin couldn't help but murmur, following his gaze upwards. The sky was filled with stars, brilliant as usual, but Su Yin suddenly remembered the starry sky she had watched with him.
When did that happen?
She still remembered how naive and ridiculous she was when she first arrived in this world. She was as ignorant as a blank sheet of paper without a speck of dust. She was suddenly thrown into this strange world and locked up with Qian Yue. However, she knew nothing about this place or him at that time.
Fortunately, Qian Yue was suppressed by Shenghan Mountain at that time and could not move. Otherwise, if I had dared to do this to him, I'm afraid the consequences would be...
Thinking of this, Su Yin curled the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at the stars in the sky, and recalled the past. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart, whether it was nostalgia or yearning, even he couldn't tell.
Qian Yue turned his head to look at the girl. The shining light in the air cast a veil over her pale face. Although she was smiling, her eyes were deep and distant, as if she was worried about something.
He remembered every night before, every sleepless night, the empty, blood-red room, the first time he woke from the darkness, the stars overhead the same as before, the soft moonlight falling on the girl's tender face. She slept so soundly, as if all the troubles and darkness of the world had nothing to do with her. Her face was softly illuminated, her long eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyes. She breathed shallowly, and seemed to mutter something in her sleep. For some reason, this unknown scene, this sudden appearance of the girl, suddenly moved his heart. From then on, she and the moonlight were both enshrined in his heart.
But, but now, Qian Yue clenched her fists. Under the same starry sky, the girl's face no longer had the childish look of the past. Instead, it was stained with the vicissitudes of time. Her eyes, which always had a smile on them, were replaced by heavy shadows, and it was impossible to tell what she looked like before.
Damn it! What on earth had she been through?
Qian Yue wanted to roar in a low voice, wanted to loudly ask the girl what had happened, but he could only sigh helplessly. Looking at the girl's face, he hid the words he wanted to ask deep in his heart.
If he hadn't let go of her hand at that time, would she have lived a carefree life and smiled as always?
