In a hazy blur, she heard Shen Jinci's indulgent words, "Whatever you do is right."
His voice was too soft, Bian Yue had already fallen asleep and heard nothing.
Her sleeping face tranquil, she nestled in his arms, trusting him entirely.
Shen Jinci had never been trusted like this before; his past was too dark, so much so that even the thought of glancing back at it now felt blood-soaked.
Bian Yue didn't know that after she fell asleep, Shen Jinci sat alone in the study for a long time.
He held the collaboration document between Honey and Lixing, flipping through it over and over again, before taking a lighter nearby and lighting it without hesitation.
The flames flickered in his hand, the fire devouring the pages, burning to ash little by little in his grip...
When Bian Yue woke up, Shen Jinci was already asleep by her side, holding her as he always did. His long lashes rested on her peaceful sleeping face, beautiful like a painting.
