Chapter 55 (1/2)

She halted and frowned as she saw the figure disappearing around the corner.

She stood there for a few seconds. Then, she walked toward the same direction and found a corridor.

She heard light footsteps above her head. Zuo Weiyi raised her head and from the gaps of the staircase, she saw s.h.i.+ Yuting walking up to the second floor.

Curiosity took over her and because she was also searching for him, Zuo Weiyi tailed him without hesitation.

When she came to the second floor, she followed the sound of the footsteps to a roof terrace.

s.h.i.+ Yuting stood by the railing, looking at the stars which filled the dark night. He looked like he was in deep thought.

Zuo Weiyi looked at the tall figure and halted. Why did she sense loneliness in him?

Or was she mistaken?

s.h.i.+ Yuting was very alert. Very quickly, he sensed someone behind him. He turned and his sharp, cold eyes shot through Zuo Weiyi who was approaching.

That swift and fierce gaze of his stunned her. Zuo Weiyi had never seen such a serious and terrifying look before.

Under the white moonlight, s.h.i.+ Yuting’s eyes relaxed and turned gentle when he saw the familiar face.

The same scene with the same person had happened once previously.

That year, his family met with calamity and she chose to leave without turning back.

Zuo Weiyi was stupefied when s.h.i.+ Yuting looked at her without moving. She thought that her face was dirty and so, she tried to clean her face with her hand.

“Why?” She looked at the man opposite her.

Upon hearing her voice, s.h.i.+ Yuting regained his senses.

He smiled. “You are beautiful!”

He walked over and took her into his embrace. He brought her to the railing of the roof terrace to admire the stars in the sky.

“You are just like tonight’s sky, beautiful and dazzling.”

Zuo Weiyi was not very used to being protected in his embrace while listening to his admiration.
