All I Need

Yu Zhen was thrown off by her question. His childhood? Where shall he even begin? He knew hers was equally as horrible, if not worse. 

The problem was, he liked to forget what had happened in the past. There wasn't a reason for him to continue thinking about it, or keeping it in mind. Such grim experiences shouldn't be kept in his memories.

Nonetheless, Yu Zhen thought it was only fair for him to share some snippets of his childhood. He wasn't fazed by what he had gone through, for the same thing happened to his older brother too. Except, the First Prince was lucky enough to be the Empress's favorite child.

"What would you like to know?" he calmly asked her, curious as to what could've inspired such a question out of the blue.

Yu Zhen was just surprised that she didn't beat around the bush. It was a direct question that resulted in a direct response.

"Well, I don't really know," she admitted.
