Earlston, Scotland, 02:50; Xi Yuan was a light sleeper. It wasn't possible for the girl to slip out of the room without disrupting his slumber, and she was aware of it. So that night, she insisted on pulling an all-nighter with the book she'd been reading. The man didn't refuse her request straight away, since she'd slept for about three hours that noon. He, as usual, just offered to accompany her. But she'd turned him down, prompting him to get some rest as he'd been working and attending meetings all…

Earlston, Scotland, 15:50; "I believe I should thank you, Miss Huang.", Xi Yuan said, passing the plate of fruits to Rong Xinghe, "How would you like for me to repay your kindness?" "I... um... There really is no need.", Huang Biu shook her head modestly, "Thank you so much." "I insist, though.", the man smiled, "I don't like staying indebted to anyone. Take your time, if you need, and I shall fulfill your wish as long as it isn't beyond my limits." "Alright.", the woman responded shyly, "I'll think of…

Earlston, Scotland, 15:40; This wasn't the first time Rong Xinghe had come across Huang Biu. She knew how well-acknowledged this woman was in the world of business, and that in the past, almost every business family in Country X had presumed for her to tie the marital knot with Xi Yuan one day. She was this perfect woman; sharp-witted and gracefully delicate, who had every quality to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xi family. At times, Rong Xinghe did wonder if her darling deserved better. Someone…

Earlston, Scotland, 11:00; "Are you sure about this?", Xi Yuan glanced at the shut guest room doors, his tone uncertain. "Yeah, Yuan.", Rong Xinghe nodded, "More so than anything else. Lieutenant Jang has expertise in this area. He'll pull the bullet out in no time. Don't worry. Moreover, she was shot in the left shoulder. I believe she'll survive." "But--" "This is a freezing town with minimal healthcare facilities, Yuan. Do you really think it's a better idea to browse for hospitals throughout…

Earlston, Scotland, 09:00; Another week passed by, but Xinguan barely stepped out of their place. It had started to snow out there. And unlike Earlston's liquid-equivalent regular snowfall, this year was different. It was white and deep. Dangerously dry, at that. The couple didn't mind staying in, though. The girl had an entire library to herself, while Xi Yuan, on the other hand, had her to take care of. Ensuring that she'd stay warm, preparing meals three times a day with her distracting him,…

Earlston, Scotland, 11:30; Clutching onto the edges of 'Jane Eyre' written by the English Novelist Charlotte Brontë, the girl read the book to her darling, her toes curled by the arresting words inscribed within. "I should not shrink from you with disgust as I did from her: in your quiet moments you should have no watcher and no nurse but me; and I could hang over you with untiring tenderness, though you gave me no smile in return; and never weary of gazing into your eyes, though they had no longer a…

Earlston, Scotland, 08:30; "Here you go.", Xi Yuan said as he handed the girl one of the two ceramic cups he'd brought along, flumping down beside her a minute later. "You still cold?", he asked her then, wrapping his relatively warm hands around her fingers. "A bit.", the girl smiled, turning to look at her darling. He looked handsome. He always did. But in that very moment, as the blazing fire reflected in his Gray eyes, his stunning facial features lit up in the color of those enthusiastically…

City A, Country X, 07:15; Huang Biu tiptoed into the Huang Family Mansion, certain that her family was asleep. It was not until her brother's voice resounded from her behind did she stop dead in her tracks, a chill crawling down her spine. "Where the hell were you all night?!", Huang Ling questioned her, his voice stern. The woman turned around to face the man, who'd been leaning against the study room's door frame for who knows how long. He still had the clothes from the last night on. The Navy Blue…

City A, Country X, 02:30; Cautiously, the Hybrid sneaked into the Hotel's private suite, clothed in the attire of a waiter. He had to confirm the authenticity of their informer's lead before making a move. Hybrids, of all the soldiers, couldn't afford to shoot in the dark and endanger a civilian's life, based on nothing but a hunch. Recklessness, in their field of work, had the ability to put the entire nation in a state of uproar. And the one thing that the nation's Army carried around oh-so-proudly as a…

Edinburgh, Scotland, 20:00; Rong Xinghe soon dozed off in her darling's arms, right there on the silent road. His eyes, his voice, his warmth; they were all just too peaceful. And so was Edinburgh's breeze tonight. Calm. Xi Yuan smiled to himself, as the sounds of her soft snores made their way to his ears. Diverting his gaze from the puppies, he looked at the girl. Her left hand held onto his overcoat's collar, tightly, while the other hand lied effortlessly upon the fabric of her dress over her…
