You may not understand, Hua Jin.

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ smiled. A smart, sensible boy like Youyou wouldnt want to be treated like a patient either. Like Natalia, hes strong in character. He can be indifferent to any scorn, but he doesnt take well to pitying looks. Shed be unhappy if you treated her like a patient. Because she doesnt think shes a patient, rather, shes just a little different from the others. Think about it. Natalia grew up without a home or a sense of belonging, so shes stubborn. The only way she can properly protect herself is if shes armed like a hedgehog. In fact, you can understand that, cant you?

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, too, had grown up in a welfare home. She was not as aloof as Natalia. She was stubborn, but unwilling to grow those p.r.i.c.kly thorns. Even though she had been hurt many times over, she was willing to face the world with a smile. Because, when she was a child, someone had once told her something.

Who that person was, she could not remember now. All she could remember was that the person said, there was only one kind of heroism in the world, and that was to recognize the darkness of reality and still be pa.s.sionate.

She wanted to be this hero. Natalia was different. She could only protect herself with her p.r.i.c.kly spines.

The actor looked thoughtful.

He replied solemnly, I understand

As a young man, the actor had often felt strange stares from all sorts of people around him. They belittled him and did not think much of him. However, he had long forgotten those looks.

He only vaguely remembered one time when hed been physically injured. Hed been taken to the hospital and a doctor had examined him. The doctor had looked at him with an expression of pity and sympathy.

That look almost made his heart bleed. It wasnt that he was disgusted by it. It was a sort of unfamiliar feeling. And he didnt like it.

I got it.

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ asked, Its late. Is she asleep?

Yeah, asleep. I guess. I didnt go to her room. Ill sneak around a little later.

Yeah, its getting late. Ive got to go tell bedtime stories to Youyou too!

Okay. Good night.

After ending the call, he placed the phone casually on the railing and looked up, feeling a little lost.

He stared into the night. It made him think back to the many times in his youth, after hed been beaten up, when he had also secretly stood under the night sky, looking up and muttering, as if to G.o.d or himself.

When exactly would these times of darkness end? Life was really full of dread and darkness back then. He even felt that sometimes he had the courage to die, but not to live.

But now, those dark memories were blurry and behind him. Time really would erase everything. Unconsciously.

Late night.

Hua Jin walked quietly to the door of Natalias room, turned the k.n.o.b, and opened it before entering. Natalia was asleep on the bed, but the whole room was bathed in a purple glow.

He couldnt help being curious. The purple light was eerie and intense, but he didnt remember buying a purple light fixture. This purple light source seemed to be emanating from the corner of the bed.

Curious, the actor walked to the head of the bed, discovering that the light source was coming from a crystal ball.

A crystal ball? Was it a lamp?
