Weisheng had vowed to avenge Xiaoling, return her to the cycle of life and death, date her, lie to her, use her, and reincarnate alongside her. It sounded evil, but it wasn't. It sounded controlling, but it wasn't. This was his best shot at fixing everything.
Now that he was hopeful, his thoughts prevented him from sleeping. All night, he tossed around in his bed, hoping to fall asleep. But instead, he crafted his speech for Xiaoling, thinking of multiple ways to convince her to go out with him.
He woke up early in the morning after failing to sleep all night, hoping to clear his head. The clearer his head, the better his chances for success.
He walked outside in the courtyard to see Xiaoling and Lady Ren sitting under the pavilion and having tea. Xiaoling usually slept in at this hour, so Weisheng wondered why she was awake so early.
Weisheng walked up to them, "Good morning," He murmured.
