Kapitel 130: This Is Urgent

Yu Zhen felt a confession resting on the tip of his tongue. He couldn't look away from the depths of her eyes. They were the color of the ripe Earth, filled with life and soul. Delicate and expressive, her eyes hid a wealth of emotion he wished to decipher. 

His thumb stroked the unrecognizable shapes upon her skin, a motion that he didn't think was comforting until now. She didn't seem to mind and leaned closer to him, patient and understanding of his confusion.

Yu Zhen didn't want to part from her. He couldn't bring himself to. He had found the greatest joy of his life. How could he lose it? She was his hope and future, someone he was too attached to let go. 

He wanted to treasure and watch over her, keeping her from harm's way. And the only way to do so was by whisking her to Hanjian. Yu Zhen knew he was selfish to pull her from familiar lands to foreign ones, but he vowed to keep her safe for the rest of her life.
