The Firmament Stone left her wrist and hovered in front of her, as if observing her expression, "Were you in love with him?"
Gu Xijiu lied on the bed, looked up at the canopy, and softly said, "I think so. I didn’t trust anyone else, as much as I trusted him. I told him all my secrets and I did not need to be vigil when he was around…"
The Firmament Stone said, "This was simply a tragedy…"
"Yes, it was a tragedy. I always thought that he liked me too, or else he would not be taking care of me so well. Every time I encountered any danger, he would fall from the sky like a knight and hug me in his arms, telling me not to be afraid, as he was there for me…"
She paused for a while and then continued, "Although I did not need his help most of the time, and sometimes he even alerted the enemy of his sudden arrival, I still liked the feeling of being taken care of. I thought he would be the love of my life. I never expected that…"
