Chance of redemption.

Yun Meiyi didn't realize but her fingers had curled on his shirt, crumpling the fabric in her fists. She might not have noticed her unconscious actions but Lu Xifu did. 

His eyes darted to stare at his clothes and then at her expression that was showing genuine empathy. As if she was sharing the emotion he held at that moment. She looked like she was feeling the pain he underwent when he was cursed. 

His heart warmed and for the first time, he didn't feel alone. Otherwise, all these ages there seemed no one on his side. He rebelled, he left and no one cared. But today, he felt like someone was there who cared for him. Someone who would feel the pain that he suffered. 

He stared at her and she watched the screen. Since the scene hadn't ended, Yun Meiyi felt that there was something still remaining. And she wasn't wrong. Soon, she saw the demons appear on the screen before getting down on their knees for mercy.
