In the fairy tales, everything returns to normal when the clock strikes midnight. Meng Xiao and her husband safely passed the midnight hour, but the spell eventually proved to be just that, a spell, seemingly incapable of witnessing the rising sun.
Yang Yi spoke to her in fragments and she was tired from a whole day's ordeal. Eventually, she fell asleep, not wanting to utter another word.
"Sleep now, I'll wake you at sunrise."
Those were the last words he whispered into her ear. Meng Xiao decided that they should embark on a new relationship, leaving behind any negativity from the past. She had been through enough trouble in her life; she didn't want to bring more sadness to Yang Yi or herself.
Tomorrow will be a sunny day.
A new identity, a fresh start.
A slight movement from her side. Yang Yi's phone on the bedside table suddenly lit up. The phone was on vibration mode, making a buzzing sound on the table.
