Less Scary Than He Thought

Xu Xiyan was reluctant. She wanted to stay with her mother for longer. But Mo Yutian pulled her out.

When they left, Mo Xie turned from the crystal bed, stared at the heavy curtains for a while then pulled them open.

In a flash.

Mo Xie covered his eyes when sunshine broke in.

A wisp of light shed onto the crystal bed and lit up Jing Ruyue's face. He could even see the tiny fine hairs on her face.

Time was not harsh on her. It was the crystal bed that slowed down the aging and maintained her beauty.

She lay quietly in the castle for many years as if she was having an everlasting dream and was unable to come out of it.

There was no sound, nor light. It was always the same in her world.

But today was different. She seemed to have heard some voices and cries.

She tried hard to wake up to take a look. Yet weakness held her from opening her eyes.
