Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Chapter 234: A mix of grievances, longing, and guilt threatened to overwhelm her.

The air after the rain is exceptionally fresh, carrying the fragrance of earth and a cool scent, as if it were nature's purest gift.

Although it was late at night, Liu Shiyin was wide awake. She put on a light coat and quietly went to the balcony.

The night was as still as water, and moonlight filtered through the clouds, adding a touch of mystery to the tranquil night. Liu Shiyin stood on the balcony, a gentle breeze ruffling her hair, bringing a slight coolness.

She looked up at the starry sky, and the twinkling stars seemed to reflect the thoughts in her heart, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Liu Shiyin sighed softly, as if she wanted to expel all her thoughts with that breath.

Her gaze wandered across the night sky, finally settling on the bright moon. The moonlight, like water, shone on her face, reflecting her beautiful yet sorrowful eyes.

The surrounding environment was exceptionally quiet in the night, with only distant lights and the occasional sound of vehicles breaking the silence.

Huo Muchen sat in the car, his fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel. The sound echoed in the quiet night, beating rhythmically like a heartbeat.

His gaze passed through the car window and was fixed on Liu Shiyin's slender figure on the balcony.

Liu Shiyin wore a white long dress and a light-colored coat, looking like a proud lily, which stood out in the night. Her figure was slender, as if a gust of wind could blow her over. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, like a black waterfall, shimmering with a faint luster under the moonlight.

Huo Muchen's sharp eyes shone like stars, flickering in the darkness. He gazed silently at Liu Shiyin, then suddenly opened the car door and strode towards her house.

In the darkness of night, Huo Muchen's figure appeared even taller and more imposing. He walked through the dimly lit streets and headed straight for Liu Shiyin's residence.

The surrounding scenery became blurred and hazy in the night, with only the faint lights in the distance and the occasional chirping of insects adding a touch of life to the quiet night.

"Knock knock knock"

The crisp knocking sound was particularly loud in the quiet night, as if breaking the silence of the night. Liu Shiyin, who had just returned to the living room from the balcony, was holding a freshly brewed hot tea and was about to go to bed when she heard the sound and was startled.

She frowned, her mind filled with doubt. She had no friends or relatives in this city, and the only one who knew where she lived was Xiaoyou. But it was late at night, and Xiaoyou couldn't possibly be visiting at this hour.

Liu Shiyin put down her teacup, tiptoed to the door, and looked through the peephole. However, it was pitch black outside, and she couldn't see anything. A wave of nervousness washed over her, but then she thought that perhaps a neighbor or someone else needed help. So she took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, a cool breeze rushed in, carrying the faint scent of night dew. Liu Shiyin looked up and saw a familiar yet unexpected face—Huo Muchen.

Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke. A subtle atmosphere filled the air.

Liu Shiyin stared straight at Huo Muchen, her bright eyes filled with complex emotions—grievance, longing, and guilt intertwined, as if to overwhelm her.

Huo Muchen squinted and quietly watched Liu Shiyin. He didn't know why he went upstairs to find her, but the moment she turned and left the balcony, his thoughts and impulses drove him to make a decision.
