After their morning conversation and meal, the two parted ways. Yu Zhen had some business to tend to, whereas Li Xueyue went for a run with Heiyue.
The sun rays were beating down on them, the winds were howling, and the ground trembled with force. But the scent of autumn was reassuring, the breeze refreshing, and the sun chased away the frigid cold. The grass was soft upon the hard hooves trampling upon it.
Li Xueyue let out a small, joyous laughter as Heiyue soared through the open meadow. She wanted to throw her hands up and feel the air rushing through her sprawled fingers. She wanted to lift her face towards the sun and bask in its light.
"That was fun, wasn't it?" Li Xueyue excitedly asked Heiyue once they were slowing down.
Heiyue snorted in response, nodding his head whilst she guided him back.
"It has been a while since we've experienced this much freedom," she added on.
