842 Mortification II

When Zhao Li Xin arrived at his courtyard Lory was sitting on the edge of the bridge railing above the pond, she was eating a jar of candy that she put next to her while looking down at the swimming koi fish with a blank expression. 

Her bluish hair flowed gently over her shoulders like her white hanfu fluttering together as the wind blow, she looked like something that came from a dream, like a mirage that could disappear when he got too close.

Zhao Li Xin never would have thought that he would love someone so deeply that it scared him because he knew for certain that this was his only once-in-life chance for him to feel this way.
