The sandy beaches of the island gradually blurred and the illusional space disappeared, returning Shen Zhui's mind back to his body.
Throughout the process, Zi Xuan was confessing her affection, though she was somewhat restrained, not putting too much pressure on Shen Zhui. Being as astute as he is, Shen Zhui naturally understood what was going on in the heart of his beloved, which made him feel more sorrowful and resolved at the same time.
A fresh cup of tea was pushed in front of him, indicating for Shen Zhui to drink it. Zhao Xing also picked up his cup of tea.
Shen Zhui took a deep breath and finished the new tea.
Sensing that Shen Zhui's state of mind had returned to calm, Zhao Xing nodded in satisfaction, but not speaking, giving Shen Zhui some time to recover.
A moment later, Shen Zhui expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your indulgence."
