Su Luoyin slowly raised her head, and she saw the woman in the mirror. A gilded double-phoenix crown was heavily pressed on her bun, and the golden hairpins on both sides made a crisp sound. In front of her eyes, there were thin golden hairpin tassels hanging down, vaguely covering her face. Her face was fair and carefully made-up, with a pair of thin eyebrows like distant mountains, long eyebrows reaching her temples, a delicate and tall nose bridge, a pair of narrow and long eyes full of endless coldness in the misty eyes, and the corners of her eyes were stained with red, which made her very beautiful and charming. She was dignified but even more charming.
Is this her? Looking at the beautiful woman in the mirror, Su Luoyin unconsciously twitched the corner of her mouth. She saw that the woman in the mirror also moved with her, but she was extremely stiff, with a hint of bitterness that was hard to conceal.
Su Luoyin lay motionless, still being tossed around by the people around her. This was her good day, wasn't it?
Xiao Tao stood by, watching Su Luoyin with some worry. Ever since she'd walked back home in the middle of the night, expressionless and stiff, three days earlier, Miss Su hadn't uttered a single word, simply staring blankly at the rag in her hand, as if it held some special meaning to her. Xiao Tao had suspected this in her heart, but just yesterday, Miss Su had suddenly, hopelessly, thrown the rag into the fire, without a trace of regret.
This made her even more confused about Su Luoyin's thoughts.
What had happened to the girl? Did the king say something to her? Why was she so desperate, with no life left in her eyes? She didn't even have the slightest hope for the world, or herself.
This is what she saw.
She still remembered that night, she waited very late for Su Luoyin, who only came back stiffly in the middle of the night, his steps extremely slow, numb and stiff. She also remembered that night, Su Luoyin seemed to have suddenly lost all his strength, looking at her, as if not looking at her, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you think of human nature in this world?"
What about human nature? This question was obviously too profound for her, and Xiao Tao could only shake her head helplessly.
Su Luoyin didn't expect her to say anything, but the disappointment in her eyes was so deep. She asked again, "Tell me, why is it that everyone in this world is smiling at you and telling you how important you are?"
"But they all left one after another, leaving you standing there alone. You ran and ran, chasing and chasing, but in the end you found that you were still the only one standing there, staring at their backs foolishly, watching them frantically doing meaningless things like moths to a flame."
"But they never stop for you."
"Not even a moment, not even a second." Su Luoyin closed her eyes in despair and walked stiffly past Xiaotao. The scenery outside the window seemed to have no special attraction to her anymore. She took stiff steps to turn off all the lights in the hall. The hall was dark and she just sat there blankly, lifeless.
"Why have you all given up on me?"
"But I still wish I could go back to the past. Really, can I go back?"
Xiao Tao looked at Su Luoyin hesitantly and worriedly, but she didn't dare to go forward. Su Luoyin didn't look at anyone. Gradually, a vague shadow seemed to appear in front of her...
