Ye Yinan watches Li Yu begrudgingly retreat to his quarters. It's hard not to smile when the cracks of emotions are so clear on his A-Yu's face. Because no matter how much Li Yu tries to hide his emotions, Ye Yinan reads him like an open book.
Cute.
So cute.
And though part of him loves that he's able to interact with his beloved at such a young age, Ye Yinan knows by now that his selfishness is a poisonous entity. This time, he won't allow himself to taint his beloved's life.
This time, Yinan vows to live selflessly. To watch from the sidelines and nurture his beloved into the best that he could be.
He doesn't want to watch his fated die because of his careless actions anymore. Cassander's frail body in his arms still paints a striking image in his heart. The demonic organ that Yinan had originally given him to save his life, ultimately killed in the end.
