His gaze was deep as he closed the sandalwood box again, placing it in his palm and gently caressing it.
Inch by inch, pattern by pattern.
Heart racing, suddenly moved.
"Yue Er, how should I face you?"

After that incident passed, Yue Er was just as before.
She was still that carefree, cheerful young girl.
Laughing heartily when happy, throwing a tantrum when unhappy, until she turned happy.
She treated him the same as before.
In martial arts lessons, she always liked to mock him sarcastically, and when dissatisfied, she would still criticize him.
He pretended to be as he was before.
But inside... it was still different.
He would let her win and watch her laugh triumphantly.
He would intentionally lose to her just to see her angry face.
He knew she hated when opponents went easy on her the most.
Everything between them seemed the same as before, yet it was subtly different.
