One night, Xiao Tian found Renxue sitting alone, gazing at the stars.
"You seem troubled," he said, sitting beside her.
She sighed. "I've spent my whole life chasing power, but with you, I feel…different. Vulnerable. It scares me."
Xiao Tian placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "It's okay to be vulnerable, Renxue. It means you care, and that's not a weakness."
Her golden eyes glistened as she leaned her head on his shoulder. "Thank you for reminding me."
