Yei raised his hand, and the robe of Deep Blue spread out on the ground, transforming into a makeshift bed. I was laid down on this "bed," feeling utterly helpless. 0
 
He wore only a thin white garment that accentuated his perfect physique. Leaning over me, he enveloped me beneath him, his fingertips gently gliding across my cheek. 0
 
"Don't be afraid..." His voice was filled with tender affection, captivating and enchanting. 0
 
This wasn't about fear; it was a matter of principle! 0
 
Yet Yei's fingers had already softly wiped away my tears. He gazed at the wound on the corner of my lips, his eyes revealing an unspoken concern. 0
 
He paused for a moment and then did something that left me utterly stunned. 0
 
He leaned down and lightly pressed his lips against the wound on my lips, gently kissing and licking away the bloodstains. 0
 
I was taken aback. Although Yei and I shared a close relationship, we had never been this... "intimate" before. However, perhaps due to the effects of the medication in my system, I had to admit that the taste of this kiss was extraordinarily delightful. 0
 
Yei's gaze drifted downward, and when he focused on the revealing Big Red Tulle Skirt I wore, his breath suddenly became uneven. 0
 
He reached out toward my clothing buttons. 0
 
I grabbed his hand firmly. 0
 
He was too close to me, almost pressing down on top of me. I could feel his charming aura enveloping me. To be honest, under the influence of the medication, my body craved him intensely. 0
 
But no, he wasn't that person. My feelings were clear; that person resided in my heart—irreplaceable by anyone else. 0
 
With great heaviness, I made my choice. 0
 
"Yei, take me away!" I croaked, resolutely stating my demand. 0
 
His movements froze for a moment before he asked me, "Where to?" 0
 
 
"I want you to take me away, to find Qiu. Knock me out if you have to, otherwise my mind will get all jumbled and I might end up seducing you. But that's not my intention; I only want him." 0
 
"What if... it's too late?" He gazed at me intently. 0
 
"Take me to him. I only want him." 0
 
I repeated this phrase because I didn't want to answer Night's question. I was unwilling to think about that outcome; all I wanted was to be taken to him. If it were too late, I would die, and I didn't want to consider that possibility anymore. 0
 
That was my answer. 0
 
"Am I not allowed?" Night Phantom stared at me for a moment before suddenly smiling, gently wrapping my hand in his palm. 0
 
"I only want him..." I murmured, repeating the words. 0
 
"Zhenzhen," Night suddenly tightened his grip on my hand, "I need to confess something to you. Can you promise not to hold it against me or get angry?" 0
 
Why does it have to be now? I'm on the brink of death; every second counts! 0
 
"Can we see my face first before we talk about it? Please?" 0
 
That suggestion was indeed tempting. 0
 
Ever since I met Night Phantom, he has always maintained an air of mystery, forever hiding his face behind a mask. He is so wonderful; I've imagined taking off his mask more than once in my dreams. 0
 
But dreams are unreliable. Each time I removed his mask in those dreams, I was left stunned, yet when I woke up, I could never remember what he actually looked like. 0
 
I wanted to see his face. I had thought that even if he revealed a face as hideous as Quasimodo's beneath the mask, it would never change his place in my heart. He is the friend I trust most in the Tang Dynasty; he will always hold a special significance for me. 0
 
And now, I might be dying. If in these final moments, I could see his face and keep it etched in my memory, wouldn't that be a perfect ending? 0
 
 
Night was such a gentle person, perhaps deep down he hoped that I would have no regrets. 0
 
"I want to see..." I mumbled, "but no matter how good-looking you are, it won't do. I only want him..." 0
 
"Fool..." Night's voice was oddly both angry and delighted as he slowly removed the mask from his face. 0
 
I felt a surge of excitement, even alleviating some of the discomfort caused by the medication. After all, I had imagined countless times what kind of face lay behind the Night Phantom mask. I envisioned it to be a handsome man, not inferior to Qiu. Moreover, he had said himself that he was of a similar age to Qiu, which meant he must be a striking young man in the prime of his life. Now, the moment I had longed for had finally arrived, and my already restless heart raced even faster. 0
 
As the mask came off, his face revealed a gentle smile, exposed before me. 0
 
I looked at him, struck as if by lightning; I was so shocked that I couldn't utter a word for ten seconds. 0
 
After ten seconds, I let out a piercing scream. 0
 
What is this!!! The face revealed behind the mask was that of an old man; wasn't that Lord Du Ruhui?! 0
 
Though I had anxiously speculated that Night Phantom might actually be a handsome older man, this was an old man far beyond what I had imagined! 0
 
I had once spent over a month recovering in Chang'an, during which the emperor had visited me and even taken me out once. Lord Du Ruhui was there that time, so I recognized him. Lord Du was a serious and solemn fellow whose voice sounded weak due to poor health, and he spoke with a slight official tone. 0
 
Could it be that all of this was an act? 0
 
Thinking about how Lord Du Ruhui had appeared at my bedside late at night without reason, how he had once held me gently and just now... kissed me, I felt an overwhelming sense of betrayal. 0
 
I took back what I had just said; I could accept whatever he looked like. But this—I truly could not accept! 0
 
What the hell is "Fang Mou Du Duan"? Do you all know that Lord Du Ruhui is actually a thief of the night? History is simply too unreliable. 0
 
Though I felt frantic and weak, I still struggled to push myself backward while trying to stop Lord Du Ruhui, who was attempting to come closer. My voice trembled with tears: "Du... Lord Du! Please... have some... self-respect!!" 0
 
 
Lord Du was stunned, frozen for three seconds before suddenly bursting into laughter. He laughed and laughed until he could barely stand upright. 0
 
"I'm so sorry, Zhenzhen! I scared you, didn't I? I completely forgot about this!" He laughed breathlessly while pulling a cloth from his pocket, quickly pouring some potion onto it and starting to wipe his face in various ways. 0
 
What is going on? Could it be... Disguise? Is the face behind Night Phantom also fake? 0
 
"Zhenzhen..." After wiping for a while, Lord Du suddenly leaned closer, pressing his body against me once more. Before I could scream in shock, the shy man who had been covering his face with a handkerchief slowly moved it aside, revealing his face just inches away from mine. I could even feel his breath. 0
 
That familiar face, those familiar eyes, that familiar breath. 0
 
I stared at him, once again struck dumb as if struck by lightning, speechless for another ten seconds. 0
 
This face, I would recognize it even if it were turned to ash—this is my idol, Nie Qiuyuan! 0
 
This was the first time Nie Qiuyuan gazed at me and called out my real name—"Zhenzhen." 0
 
Oh my! Let me calm down. What just happened? 0
 
Night Phantom stood before me, having removed the mask, and the face behind it was Lord Du... no! It was Nie Qiuyuan?! 0
 
Oh my gosh! Could it be that Night and Autumn are actually the same person?! 0
