Setting down the last box that goes in her room closet, Yue Ling finally noticed how dark it was outside.
The plan was to only move the five wardrobes, how did it become like this?
Because she had put the last box down by the floor to ceiling window, she turned to face the view of Imperial.
Slowly, she raise one hand and gently touch the window glass. The view of Imperial reflected in her eyes. Imperial from where she stands, looked like another night sky full of stars.
Her mind drifted to thousands of memories.
Lu Tian enter the room and put the box in hand down. Noticing her quietly stand in front of the huge window, he walked over to her. Standing just three feet away from her, he admire the view of her like a painting in a museum .
He could see her face reflected from the glass window, making his heart filled with waves of warmth.
Just how nice would it be to always see her everyday?
He continued to gaze at her like a high school boy admiring his crush from afar. Full of love and devotion.

Without moving her eyes away from the view outside, she didn’t answer him right away.
With a long pause, her soft voice finally sounded,
"Have you ever experienced a moment where everything turns into one massive blur? Like, nothing registering in your brain, where everything and everyone around you seem to have slow down?"
"...."
Lu Tian frown at her question and did not answer.
From his experiences in life, he’s sure he’s never experienced such feelings before.
Yue Ling slowly move her hand from the window and turned around to face the man standing behind her. Her bluish green eyes looked the man straight in the eyes and her lips parted,
"I have."
Her voice was tranquil, but when Lu Tian met her mesmerizing eyes, he was reminded of the night she sat outside on the balcony.
The look in her eyes made his heart tighten, like suffocation.
He could see the pain and loneliness deep within those calm and beautiful eyes.
It was a feeling he did not want her to feel.
He may have just encountered her and not know anything about her, but he does not want her to have those kind of looks in her eyes.
A feeling he wants to remove for her.
As they gaze into each other’s eyes, Lu Tian felt like the world had become a massive blur. His mind was full of the woman in front of him. Everything seemed to have slow down and all he could hear was his heart beating uncontrollably and only the woman standing in front of him.
He takes a step forward and gently, he caress her cheek with one hand.
Not expecting his sudden move, Yue Ling jolted awake at the warmth from Lu Tian’s palm.
For some reason, she couldn’t bring herself to push the man away. Nor could she move her eyes away from his dark pupils that seemed to see through her soul.
Their eyes remained locked while Lu Tian’s hand held Yue Ling’s cheek.
Neither of them made a sound, but stare deeply into each other’s eyes.
After a long silence, Lu Tian finally made a move.

His hand on her cheek, slowly and gently move to her chin, raising her head to look up at him.
Never leaving her eyes, he lower his head next to her ear and whisper, "I just did."
"!"
Realization finally kicked in Yue Ling’s brain when she heard Lu Tian’s deep voice and breath on her ear. The feeling sent a shock wave through her entire body.
She had asked him a very deep out of line question and he actually answered her!
Before she could even react and push him away, he tighten his arm around her waist and his hand that was on her chin had already moved to the back of her head near her nape.
He lower his head and kissed her forehead, then her eyes, her nose, her cheek, and finally his lips cover hers.
He tilt his head slight and kissed her tenderly, like he was afraid to hurt her.
Yue Ling’s eyes were wide awake. She could see the man’s long lashes as his eyes closed.
She was in shock, but like her mind was in a trance, she slowly closed her eyes and kissed the man back.
Getting a response from Yue Ling, Lu Tian felt the heat rising on his lower body. His hands tightened on the woman and he deepen their kiss until their mouth open and their tongues explore each other’s.
Just when Yue Ling was almost out of breath did Lu Tian reluctantly pull away. The sound of their panting breaths filled the room. He press his forehead against hers and asked in a low hoarse voice,
"Do you hate this?"
