"Who are you?"
The question, simple yet laden with curiosity, floated across the serene grassy expanse to where Aurora sat, her back to him initially.
As she turned to face Wang Xiao, her gaze seemed to draw the vastness of the sea into her eyes, her silver hair framing her face like moonlight against the night sky.
"Is that the only thing you want to ask?" There was a softness in her voice, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of her eyes, imbuing her with a melancholic aura.
Wang Xiao's expression tightened, caught off guard by her gentle demeanor amidst the backdrop of their recent encounters.
This part of the island, cloaked in sparse vegetation, presented a stark contrast to the icy desolation that dominated the landscape elsewhere.
Compelled by an unseen force, he found himself sitting beside her, his gaze drifting out to the sea that stretched endlessly before them.
