Black gradually covered the sky, and countless stars broke through the night sky.
Ava leaned against the bedside holding a storybook, lowered her eyes, and narrated the story in the book, "The fox said, 'To me, you are just a little boy, just like thousands of other little boys. I don't need you, and you don't need me. To you, I'm just a fox, no different from hundreds of thousands of other foxes'."
Martin, who was lying on the side, was listening intently. His eyelids began to twitch and he closed his eyes unconsciously.
"But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you shall be unique in my world, and I shall be unique in your world. The Little Prince..." When the story got exciting, Ava turned to look at Martin beside her and saw that he had fallen asleep. She muted her voice, closed the book, and slowly got up.
She pulled the quilt over him, a slight smile on her lips, and turned off the guest room light before she walked out.
