Bai Ye kept his word. For the rest of the week, I barely stepped into the kitchen at all, and he surprised me every single day with new, impossible relishes.
The pain in me subsided quickly over time, though I wasn't sure if it was a result of his home remedies or his constant presence around me, passing his spiritual power to me every chance he could get. His meticulous care almost alarmed me, and I felt a little too spoiled at times, but I couldn't deny the fact that my heart was bursting with happiness.
I tried not to think about Twin Stars again, and I stopped visiting the library. Maybe ignorance could be a blessing for once—whatever the truth was, I wasn't so eager to learn it anymore. I didn't want to bring any doubts between us, and I trusted that Bai Ye would tell me everything when both of us were ready.
