At seven o'clock in the evening on the Huo Family Archipelago, the sun had not yet completely set, and the room was somewhat dark, yet there was no need to turn on the lights.
The last of the sun's afterglow was no longer vivid, with a pale red halo that felt aged.
Slowly, bit by bit, it seemed on the verge of plunging into the sea.
The sky was dyed red with the sunset, particularly dazzling where the sea met the sky.
Shen Li stood at the fourth-floor window, looking out; the anxiety on her face had already been wiped away, only a serene calmness remained. No matter what happened, she could face it.
"We should get going," said Huo Tianqi's voice from behind her.
"Okay," Shen Li took a deep breath and nodded lightly.
After one last look at the red sky and the deep blue sea, she turned around.
The light inside was dim and she saw Huo Tianqi standing behind her, suited and booted, facing the sunset, as if enveloped in a halo.
