Chapter 207

When Xiao Chenyuan returned to Yuanwei Courtyard, he noticed that the candle inside the room was still burning. The soft glow seemed to illuminate the long night, waiting for the one who had yet to return home.

'Home.'

Ten years ago, he lost his home. And now, it felt like he had found it again.

Just as his hand touched the door, the candle inside flickered out.

He lowered his gaze with a faint smile, gently pushed the door open, and stepped inside. As he brushed past the curtain, he saw the person lying on the bed behind the screen stir slightly, like a cocoon shifting in sleep.

He had already washed up before returning to the courtyard. Only after ensuring that the moisture on his body had dried completely did he come here.
