He had found love, he had found a sense of belonging. And now, he was standing here, in the heart of the palace, surrounded by royalty and nobility.

It was a dream come true.

As the day of Prince Yi Yun's fourteenth birthday dawned, the palace was abuzz with excitement. The Queen, eager to celebrate her son's special day, had invited a host of nobles and dignitaries to attend the grand dinner banquet.

The highlight of the evening was the presentation of gifts to the prince. One by one, the guests stepped forward, offering their presents. There were jewels, toys, and other treasures, all carefully selected to delight the young prince.

As the evening drew to a close, the guests began to depart. The palace was quiet once again, the only sound the soft murmur of the servants as they cleaned up.

But for the royal family, the celebration was far from over. They had a special night planned, a night filled with laughter, love, and family. As they gathered together, their hearts filled with joy, they knew that this would be a birthday to remember.

As he entered the palace, he was greeted by the Queen and other members of the royal family. He was a respected figure, a valued member of the court.

The evening was a grand affair, filled with laughter, conversation, and the clinking of glasses. Wu Xiufan enjoyed himself, reveling in the attention and admiration.

But as the night drew to a close, a sense of loneliness washed over him. He was surrounded by people, yet he felt alone. He had achieved everything he had ever wanted, but it was not enough.

He missed Alex, his partner, his love. He longed for his touch, his laughter, his companionship.

As he left the palace, the city lights twinkling around him, Wu Xiufan couldn't help but feel a sense of longing. He had everything he could ever want, but without Alex, it was all meaningless.

He would find him, he would bring him back. He would never let him go.
