The emperor felt a faint warmth in his heart and could not help looking up. Luo Ru stood at the other end of the desk, trimming the candlewick with a small pair of silver scissors. The candlelight wavered, lending a faint blush to her snow-white cheeks and a soft, hazy glow. Her long black lashes were lowered, their delicate shadows falling across her cheeks, like two pear blossoms blown down by the wind, or the traces of tears not yet dried in a dream. The emperor gazed at her for a long while, his resolve wavering. At last, he called softly, “Luo Ru.”
The scene was so familiar that Luo Ru did not react at first. She looked up blankly and answered without thinking, “Mm. What is it?”
Only after the words had left her lips did she realize that things were no longer as they had been. She was no longer the Xuanji Lady Historian, once renowned throughout the capital, and the emperor was no longer the boy whose heart had just awakened, burning with passion and wholly devoted to her.
She quickly lowered her head to hide the bitterness rising in her eyes. “This servant was out of line.” She bent her knees to kneel.
The emperor seized Luo Ru by the wrist, stopping her from kneeling across the rosewood desk. He wanted to say something, but after turning it over in his mind for a long time, he still had no idea how to begin. After years apart, they had finally met again, yet everything felt changed and time had moved on. Their old, fleeting smiles and tender affection were gone beyond recall. Even if he tried to compose himself and face her anew, he was still left feeling lost and helpless. He stared at Luo Ru for a long time, then let out a long sigh.
Better never to have met than to meet again!
They looked at each other, and both read those words clearly in the other’s eyes.
I cried. So many years have passed.
