White Robe

Chu Li sat calmly beside the window as he watched Xiao Qi walk toward Snow Lake. Xiao Qi followed the plank road and entered her water pavilion. Her graceful shadow disappeared.

Chu Li felt like a piece of his heart was torn out from him. He felt so weak that he had no strength at all.

Even as the morning ray shone on him, he could not feel even a bit of warmth. Everything looked colorless to him, even the ravine that used to be extremely beautiful had suddenly become empty and quiet. The intoxicating feeling that it gave disappeared too.

Chu Li sat for quite some time until Su Ru called him to eat.

As he followed Su Ru to her water pavilion, Xiao Qi was seen dressed in white, like snow. Xiao Qi who was sitting next to the window looked at Chu Li faintly, but did not speak.

Chu Li smiled and then sat down opposite of her.

Su Ru rolled her clear and shining eyes.
