Under the deep moonlight, Sima Yu found herself in a place of utter silence; not a single human voice could be heard for the longest time.
She had probably wandered into a very remote corner without realizing it.
Sima Yu didn't know the way, and she couldn't find anyone to ask for directions. She slowly walked to a railing, placed her hands on it, and with a light push, hoisted herself up to sit on top. She stared blankly at the night sky, where the moon was bright and the stars were few.
She knew that if she didn't go back soon, the Madam would surely worry. But her mind was a mess right now, and she couldn't think of what to do next.
'And who could I possibly tell all these worries to?'
She knew very well that after her father was gone, she had no other family in this world. No one would ever cherish and dote on her unconditionally as he had.
