Suddenly, it was as though there was an explosion and thick smoke.
His consciousness wavered in the smoke, and even the water overflowed, causing his heart to burn.
Mu Xichen stared at her. The unhappiness and gloominess in his eyes had vanished. All he wanted to do now was to melt her with this heat.
She returned his intense gaze.
She looked into his eyes, unwavering and unrelenting.
The mellow lighting in the room was reflected in her eyes, which were now lit up. He saw himself in them.
In her eyes, he seemed to be glowing.
Her eyes were full of him.
Mu Xichen's heart was set ablaze at this realization.
Li Beinian stared at him for a while. She saw that he was still, but she could not read his thoughts.
