Lu Yizhou glanced down at Zeke who was clearly distressed for him and the corner of his lips ticked upward. His smile stretched wider and wider as if the first ray of sunshine had finally pierced through the dark clouds after a prolonged winter. He knew that he was a sinner, he had a lot of innocent lives in his hands and he had no way to change his past. He was more than willing to pay for this sin in the afterlife.
But now… he was done with staying in the shadows. He wanted to embrace this star and own it for himself. And as long as he was still breathing, he would protect its radiance so that it would become the brightest in the entire galaxy.
"I love you…" he mumbled, his voice muffled as it was said into Zeke's hair.
