Chapter 15: Only you in darkness, Light up for me
≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

The afternoon wanes, shedding its earlier warmth like a cloak of memories. Time stretches its sinewy arms, pulling the day into the embrace of change. With a gentle sigh, the season begins its slow pirouette, casting a delicate chill upon the afternoon breeze.

Outside, a quiet symphony unfolds as people gather, adorned in layers of nostalgia, seeking solace in the dwindling rays of the sun. Each breath carries whispers of seasons past, mingling with the scent of fallen leaves and the promise of frost-kissed mornings.

In this tableau of transition, a bittersweet beauty, a reminder of the cyclical nature of life. As the day unfurls its sepia-tinged tapestry, hearts find solace in the familiarity of seasons gone by, embracing the dance of change with a tender reverence.

Liu Xi Wang lies still upon his bed, a portrait of quiet fragility. His pallid face, like moonlight on marble, betrays the toll of his ordeal.

Since his return from the court, he has dwelled in the realm of unconsciousness, a silent spectator to the passing of days.

Two months have unfurled their somber cloak, each moment a delicate dance between hope and despair.

His body, a tapestry of wounds woven by the hands of fate, bears witness to the relentless brutality of existence.

The healer, an apothecary of olden wisdom, declared that his awakening within three months would border on the miraculous, such is the extent of his injuries.

Lin Chao Xing sits beside Liu Xi Wang, a silent sentinel in the dimly lit chamber. With practiced grace, she dips a cloth into the bowl of water nearby, wringing out its excess moisture before tenderly brushing it against Liu Xi Wang's pallid face.

Her movements falter, a fleeting pause in the rhythm of care. She gazes upon his wan countenance, her ocean blue eyes shimmering with unshed tears. With a heavy heart, she averts her gaze, seeking solace in the shadows that dance upon the walls.

"Xing Xing"

In the hushed confines of the room, a solitary voice reverberates, drawing Lin Chao Xing's attention back to Liu Xi Wang's side.

With bated breath, she watches as his eyes flutter open, struggling against the weight of unconsciousness. Lin Chao Xing's eyes widen with disbelief, as if beholding a dream come to life before her very eyes.

As Liu Xi Wang endeavors to sit up, a sense of urgency fills the air, prompting Lin Chao Xing to spring into action. With careful hands, she rushes to his aid, gently guiding him to lean against the wall for support.

"Xi Wang, you're finally awake! How are you feeling? Are you in pain anywhere? Is there any discomfort? Do you need anything at all?" Lin Chao Xing asks urgently, her voice filled with deep concern and worry, her eyes scanning his face for any signs of distress.
