The second night.
******************************
The mask had been removed by her, yet he seemed pleased? Xuanji recalled four years ago when his mask had fallen off; back then, he had been terribly depressed and even got punished by their fearsome Palace Master because of it.
She slightly moved, and Yu Sifeng immediately let go of her, wiping his face and said with a faint smile, "Sorry, I got carried away."
Xuanji looked at his pale face, puzzled. Those eyes, clear as autumn waters, were even brighter than four years ago and fixed intently on her. She felt a tightness in her chest and took a long time to remember what she wanted to say.
"I removed your mask without permission, won't your Palace Master blame you? Last time... did he punish you? Maybe you should put it back on, and I, I'll pretend I saw nothing."
