《Chapter 26: Three months later . . .》

"The moon hung over the planet Earth, a dead thing over a dying thing . . ."

Lily's POV 

I stared at the Moon; it glimmered through the darkness while the night fell on my shoulders like a heavy cloak. 

Breathing in, I closed my eyes, almost did I felt the stickiness of blood on my body again, a cold shiver running down my spine; the feeling had been haunting me for years. 

Everything felt like it had been some dreaming space, I know what happened, but it was like I watched myself from afar and can't do anything against it. 

I miss you, mom and dad. 

There was no day I would wake up, bathing in sweat with the nightmare in the back of my mind like the fresh scar it would always remain to be; perhaps it was my payment for my sins. 

But at least my beloved ones got their deserved happily ever after, and as long as they were happy, so would I. 

When I opened my eyes, a breeze touched the bare skin of my neck, almost as if the Moon was trying to place a soft peck there, comforting me. 

Lily for the flower representing death, and Moon because it's only beautiful when it's far away. 

I once was named Xia'er, wide and far, near and close, but that girl died the night with her parents, and Lily Moon was born.

Song Jiyang's POV 

Unconsciously I snuggled more into Haoxuan's hug while the movie went on, it's been two months, and things were going better and better; I let out a small sigh when Haoxuan pecked my lips. 

I yawned; it's been a few days since the last time I talked to the others, but they all seem to try finding their way while staying together, I wasn't sure if things were going to change for me, but it didn't matter because Haoxuan would be by my side. 

"Thinking about what happened?" I nodded; it was as if Haoxuan always could read my mind. 

"Yeah, I mean, what will happen to them, and Fanxing?" Haoxuan smiled, tickling me against my bare arm, "Fanxing would stay with Zhan and Yibo, don't worry so much, they will survive, okay?" I stretched my numb limbs like a cat, my hand ruffling through my hair. 

"We will take this secret until our last breath to the grave, huh." It wasn't a question, it was a statement, and I nodded; we had no other choice if we wanted to stay safe after all this. 

Haoxuan placed his arms around me, hugging me closely while snuggling his face against the crook of my neck, muttering, "I love you." 

I smiled, intertwining our hand while murmuring, "I love you too."

Wang Zhoucheng's POV 

Everything that happened still felt like some fairytale, but if there was a happily ever after was the question, it wasn't that I hated Lily; I just felt intimidated by her, sometimes in her presence nagged at me. 

"Are you still mad at me for telling you nothing?" I took a moment before shaking my head, my eyes finding Xuan Lu's. 

She was like a sweet sister to me, but perhaps she wasn't the little girl she once was.
