Claimed!

Returning back to the real world, Han Li's scarlet gaze had gained yet another layer of mystery. Like a twinkle, it checked the world around it. 

Everything was just… the same. 

Now, the time had passed even further, and it was near time for night to arrive. Sun had turned orange, and it was now dipping down into the distance and would soon vanish, replacing the world with night.

Yet, the only person around him, Liyue, seemed to have become much brighter than everything. Her existence was striking, just like her true body. He was quite baffled by it but then saw her… pouting. 

"What?" He asked, squinting. He was in a really, really good mood. 

"You know… every most embarrassing thing about me now. So unfair…" Her face was flushed. 

Her childhood, her days of suffering to handle Li Yao's illness before Han Li arrived, her tearful nights—nothing was a secret to him. Han Li smirked at her pout.
