This night seems to be exceedingly long.
At the New Garden Villa, Ye Ningyue stands on the balcony, gazing at the starry night sky above.
Staring at the brightest star, she looks without really seeing, talking to herself.
"Mom, can you see me now? If you can, could you tell me what I should do? Should I hate him?"
"Once, Grandpa told me you loved him. Did you have the heart to leave me alone for him?"
"And Dad, why did you also leave me alone? Am I not worth as much as that person in your eyes?"
"Do you know? In my heart, the ones I hate most are you. I hate you for leaving me alone, for bringing me into this world but not giving me the happiness I want."
Unconsciously, tears streamed down her cheeks.
She doesn't even think to wipe them away, staring unblinkingly at the sky, her body seemingly stiffened, unmoving.
Her heart feels like ashes, seeing only cold despair before her.
The night breeze swept in, chilling and sharp like a blade, cutting into her skin.
