Shen Nuo did not remember much of their play at the lake. He must have fainted several times. His dazed conciousness slowly scattered. He did not know how many hours he spent entangling with Li Yan in the lake this way.

When he forcefully gathered his senses, he wasn't in the lake. Li Yan had brought him into a nearby cave it seems. He was lying on the stony floor, weakly. Li Yan was still pressing down on him. He was still inside him, but he did not move.

Outside the cave, thunders smote amid a heavy storm. And the rain lashed down in a heavy downpour. By and then, the entire Mirror Mountains lighted up in ghostly flashes of white when the lightnings flashed, tearing the night's darkness away.

Shen Nuo felt his head spinning. The strong smell of sandalwood was making him hazy and drunk. His entire body ached. Specially his waist.

He weakly removed the laces that was already out of place on his face. It was wet with rain water and his tears. Li Yan looked at him quietly. "Awake?" He asked in a hoarse voice.

Shen Nuo stared at those beautiful phoenix eyes that were red at the ends. The golden pupils were beautiful than the black orbs Li Yan once used to have. White hair looked better for him than the usual raven hair too. He looked a thousand times handsome this way. His dimples that deepened when ever he talked or smiled were now drowned into the gloomy shadows of the cave.

Shen Nuo slowly raised his fingertips and brushed Li Yan's long lashes with a weak smile. Li Yan grasped from his wrist gently, but firmly and kissed those fingertips will full of love revealed. "Xiao Nuo... Did I hurt you?"

Shen Nuo shook his head weakly. "It hurts..."

Li Yan looked even lost. "I - "

"But I like it..." Shen Nuo slowly wrapped his arms around Li Yan's waist. "Everything that you give me, I will like them all." He smiled.

Li Yan pursed his lips. "Do I look like a monster? Are you doing this because you're scared of me?"

Shen Nuo shut his eyes. "There was a time I was scared of you. I used to shiver just by the sight of you. Those days, you were no less worse. You immediately want to execute me on the spot whenever you see me, didn't you? How can I not be scared?"

"Are you talking about the days I gave you blood promise?"

"Yes." Shen Nuo said in a lame voice. "You really were like a monster." He laughed gently. "Then in this life, when I slowly recovered the memories of my previous life and remembered what I've forgotten, I saw your soft and protective side, when ever you taught me in disguise. I saw your weak side, everytime you silently shed tears infront of the graves of your family. You would only wear that cold and demonic mask when you're the Emperor. Those days I did not know anything, Li Yan, I only blindly loved you. Every time I see you silently cry infront of the graves of your family members, I only wanted to console you. I did not understand why you chased me away with red eyes. You never told me why. You never told me that the reason for their death was my father..."

Li Yan did not speak. His face looked grave. Shen Nuo looked at Li Yan with eyes full of pain.

"Li Yan, I had wanted to ask you something since several days. Why didn't you kill my father?"

Li Yan's eyes were fixed at him. "Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?"

"Li Yan... stop messing around."

"First reason, I really cannot do anything about it. Your father had won numerous battles and had won the heart of the people. Besides, he had some several powerful ministers under his control. If I do something rash, they can rebel anytime."
