It might be cheesy of her to say this, but with Su Xieren, she caught a glimpse of the normal, ordinary life she had been yearning for all her life. She did not need to pretend to be anyone she was not; she did not need to flatter him, smile or be careful with what she said, nor did she need to morph herself into a person he liked.
Su Xieren saw her for what she was, and… it took Zhao Xinya a very long time to realize that it was all she had ever wanted. She wanted it… so much, to the point where she subconsciously tried to keep him away from the place which had bore witness to the most repulsive part of herself.
Her shell, her armor – her house.
It was like as long as Su Xieren did not take a step there, then he would remain as the purest part of her heart.
