The Winter Time Paradox

“The residents of the Floating Tower are refined and dignified. They can hardly bear anything dirty or foreign, and look down on those who live in terrible conditions. They seem so respectable, practically the very model of humanity. Yet you are also so cruel, taking other people's lives with ease and showing no emotion at all.”

“Xu Yu, it seems you deliberately want to set yourself apart from people like us. Do you disdain being one of us? Do you think you're a... warmhearted, righteous, compassionate person?”

“But right now, aren't you standing here watching coldly, just like me?”

The moonlight flowed like water. The Alpha's face was hidden in shadow, with only the cold sheen of his epaulets visible.

“Miss Jin Yu, don't leave me.” He said it again.
