Shu Luan doesn't even remember the walk from Wu Yun's room to his own. He only realizes he's there once the heat of the brazier a servant must have set at the foot of the bed hits him.
He takes off his robes and crawls into bed, his bones feel hollowed out.
Wu Yun's words echo around his mind on a loop. 'For me there's only him', 'My heart is filled with him.'
Where does that leave Shu Luan? He's certain that Wu Yun is the reincarnation of Ling Yan, his eyes don't lie, but if by his own admission he has feelings for another, that means there's no room for Shu Luan in his life.
It makes his chest tighten with grief. To have Ling Yan so close, and yet so far. If only Wu Yun could remember all they went through, the depths of their love...
He laughs mirthlessly, to himself, alone in the dark room, lit only by the soft glow of the brazier.
