He raised his exquisite chin as he stared quietly at Yu Chu sleeping on the bed. His icy blue eyes were gleaming brightly.
She hadn’t guarded herself against him at all and that made it easy to hypnotize her.
The warm light shone on the girl, whose features were gentle. Her mouth was slightly open and she looked so innocent.
An Moer turned his body slightly and he felt her warm breath on his cheeks. It were as though her breath had enveloped the surroundings and it delighted him that she was so close to him.
The young man had a faint smile on his face. His clear eyes were even lovelier than the reflection of the bright moon on the water.
He tilted his head and revealed his adorable dimples. He suddenly inched nearer to her.
His long blue hair cascaded down and shimmered in the moonlight. There was a gentle expression on his gorgeous face. He liked Lai En the most.
Love wasn’t based on logic and would never abide by rules or logical thinking. Sometimes, love was strange. At the first sight of another, a person’s heart could race wildly and disobediently, and it wouldn’t stop no matter how you tried to suppress it.
He even felt that there was a reason why he had been roaming aimlessly for more than a decade and why he had been alone every single day as he wandered near the coast. Perhaps everything in his life had led up to him meeting her.
He was willing to give her everything. Every strand of his hair, every inch of his skin, every heartbeat he had.
He was willing to cast everything away. His voice, his health, his life… and even his home, the ocean.
But would Lai En want his love?
The waves splashed against the ship and the little mermaid smiled. However, his smile was rather illusory, like the bubbles that appeared at dawn.
He raised her chin and asked softly,
“You’re going to be with someone else, aren’t you?”
Even if he couldn’t leave the ocean, he wasn’t completely unaware. In the past month, he had overheard fishermen talking about the upcoming wedding between the prince and the princess of another neighboring country. They said that a princess had saved him and that they were a perfect match.
Everyone said that they were a perfect match.
“Why do you have to be with someone else?”
An Moer’s blue eyes dimmed and after a long time, he stretched out his hands to embrace her. He gently brushed her neck with his face as his voice became deeper.
A trace of grievance hung in the air.
“What about me?”
The young man buried his face against the girl’s neck. His yearning for her and his dependence on her… He would never regret it.
He would lose his voice and never utter a word again. He would never be able to tell the girl he loves that he loves her. When he felt sad, he would only be able to sob silently.
He would be silent all his life.

Every step he took would feel as though he were walking on blades.
