Little Zhongzi, upon hearing this, began to cry even louder.
In the midst of Little Zhongzi's sobbing, Yun Chi let out a mocking laugh; his laughing face looked uglier than his crying one, his voice was so low it was almost inaudible, "I fear she might harden her heart and truly abandon me for good. At times, it can be so easy to harden one's heart, to leave me behind, even to die with Su Zizhan, thus fulfilling the love of two lifetimes. If that happens, what should I do? Should I really go Under the Nine Springs to find them?"
An Shuli fell silent for a moment, saying nothing.
The Eastern Palace was quiet; the study was quiet. Yun Chi stood up slowly and began to open the window with a gentle hand.
Outside the window was a dense night so dark one couldn't see their own fingers.
