Standing by the flickering blaze of lamp, as the cool breeze caressed his skin, Bai Huiqi strolled in the embrace of silence.
It was sudden, but not unexpected, that Cheon WuHui approached him, seeking company in the later hours of the night.
Bai Huiqi yielded. Something in his heart compelled him to agree as the Heavenly Demon smiled down at him, with something imperceptibly tender in his expression.
The four-tailed fox couldn't bring himself to refuse. Even when Doctor Li and Hu Lijing—not too long ago—warned him to be cautious of Cheon WuHui.
Maybe it was whatever fate they shared beckoning him closer. Or maybe it was something else entirely.
This time, whilst walking beside the crimson-haired man, Bai Huiqi did not steal a covert glance. Instead, he turned to look at the man openly.
"Why did you seek me out?" Still, he asked in a hushed voice.
Even if they were alone, it seemed like the world was listening to them. So he couldn't help being cautious.
