Bian Ruxue felt a slight tremor at the tip of her heart when she heard Li Hao's sigh, as if she sensed something had been lost.
She gripped the sword in her hand a little tighter, but then gently released it, perhaps this was the outcome she had anticipated all along, so why should she feel sorrow or distress now?
She collected her emotions and looked up at the youth in front of her, bright as stars and the gleaming moon, and asked with feigned ease, "When did you become aware of it?"
Li Hao slowly withdrew his gaze, looking at the girl's cheeks that smiled like the evening glow, beautiful enough to bewitch, yet his eyes smiled without lingering, saying,
"Perhaps from a long, long time ago."
"A long time ago..." Bian Ruxue was taken aback and then looked at Li Hao with confusion, "Why?"
Li Hao smiled without explanation.
