Shi Sui seemed to have said something else, but Xiang Yi’s mind was blank and she didn’t hear him clearly at all.
All she remembered was that his breath was warm.
Little did she know that Ryan had snapped an absolutely gorgeous photo of that scene!
The little princess, who seemed to be helplessly in love, had a look of confusion in her eyes, while the vampire who had finally gotten what he wanted had a dangerous gaze that was full of aggression.
Their breathing was chaotic, but they were smitten with each other. They seemed to be drowning in love but unwilling to struggle.
Salvation?
Sorry but that’s not necessary…
‘Please come with me and let us fall into darkness together.’
…
The last set of photos was full of symbolic significance.
The little princess stood by the window with the vampire standing behind her, confining her within his embrace as he held onto her waist. His lips were only half an inch away from the nape of her fair neck, but he was hesitating to sink his teeth into her flesh.
In the next second, the little princess raised her hand to close the window.
The last wisp of light in the castle vanished, and everything seemed to be engulfed by boundless darkness. It was as if time was sealed and frozen at this moment.
However, their interlocked fingers were reflected in the retro carved frame mirror…
“Okay! It’s a wrap!” Ryan announced the end of the shooting, and the crew on set felt like they had woken up from a dream.
It turned out that they had unknowingly become immersed in the storyline of the shoot…
It wasn’t entirely about a fairytale romance but rather, there was some darkness to it. However, it was shocking and memorable!
Ryan and the others proceeded to look at the photos that had been taken, while Xiang Yi remained standing on the same spot, still in a trance.
Only when Shi Sui flicked his finger against her forehead did Xiang Yi raise her head slowly.
Shi Sui said indifferently, “It’s just a story.”
After a brief moment of silence, Xiang Yi assented.
She was only in a momentary trance.
‘Are the vivid lives I had seen in the worlds that I transmigrated to real or imaginary? Are they all just insignificant stories?’
“Xiang Yi.” Shi Sui suddenly called her in a solemn tone. Unlike the usual way he would tease her, he said gently and seriously, “You are you. You’re not anyone else, nothing can erase your existence.”
‘Existence…’
She had completely subconsciously placed her hand against his chest.
His heartbeat was low and strong.
She heaved a sigh of relief before finally pulling away from those confusing thoughts.
In the next second, she heard the sounds of Shi Sui clicking his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Shi Sui then said in a draggy and ambiguous tone, “You’ve gotten really brazen with taking liberties with me now, huh?”
Xiang Yi was speechless.
‘No, I didn’t; Shi Sui, don’t spout nonsense!’
She quickly retracted her hand and said with an extremely composed expression, “My hands are dirty, let me give it a little wipe.”
Shi Sui said with raised brows, “When do you plan to wipe your hands, when they get dirty again next time?” He was drawling, even sounding like he was coaxing a kid. “Can you give me a notice in advance before you do something like that again in the future? After all, I’m not getting younger and I can’t stand it…”
Xiang Yi coughed and said, “Okay.”
She almost fled in a disheveled manner while lifting the hem of her skirt.
…
…
Albert invited them to stay at the castle for the night.
When it was almost dinnertime, Albert walked to the dining hall as if nothing had happened. He thought that he was the earliest to arrive, but to his surprise, Shi Sui, Xiang Qi, and Sophia were all present!
Albert was flabbergasted!
‘Sorry, I lost.’
The crowd talked about a variety of topics such as finance, art, and wine.
When the maid served the dishes that Xiang Yi had made, the conversation ceased.
The first thing Albert did was to lay a white napkin for Sophia and himself to prepare for the meal.
He turned his head to the side, only to realize that Xiang Qi was calmly taking something out of his large bag…
It was an extremely big bowl.
Albert was confused.
‘This works too!?!!!’
