Yu Zhi chuckled, her gaze resting on the two elongated overlapping shadows cast by the light on the ground. Her voice softened a little: "Shi Wei, will you let me go?"
"Mm." Shi Wei held her tighter.

He only wished for his girl to live her life under the sunshine, untainted by the mistakes of the past or by the judgments of the world.
"Shi Wei, don't worry." Yu Zhi rose on her tiptoes, smoothing the frown between his brows. Her gentle yet clear voice was full of affection: "I'll come back safe and sound."
The emotions in her eyes were unmistakable to Shi Wei, easing some of the tension and unease in his tightly wound nerves.
