Shu Nian dreamt of his childhood.


Shabby old orphanage, the edges of the storybook already rolled up, but he really treasure it, even when there're just pictures, a simple and rough picture above a line, a prince riding a horse and holding a sword, standing in front of the prince, everything would look humble and inferior, the refined and wealthy boy said arrogantly: "I will be good to you..."


It wasn't said to him, he wasn't a princess.


He was just a mere servant.


The prince carried the princess on his horse and galloped away from his side, dust flew around causing him to choke and cough.


Shu Nian woke up, he was still coughing when he woke up, and he couldn't stop, he was coughing roughly and his chest was throbbing in pain, his shoulders quivered and tensed.


It slowed down, and the day had also turned bright, his room was gloomier than the dream, he didn't get sad often, but he felt inexplicably sad at the moment, he brought his face closer to the bed sheets quietly and heaved a breath, it seemed like the dream wanted to remind him of something.


He was already old and shouldn't endure something like this.


Previously, when he was slightly younger, he didn't feel hopeless as now, and he also didn't feel that hurt.


He was already old, and it was easy to get tired.


He took a deep breath and got up, he thought he might have caught a cold, since he had been waiting under the snow for too long, it seemed like he had a fever, but he didn't want to fuss about it, he felt that it would naturally get better if he just ignore it, and it ended up he was still having a fever, and he became tired. If he has free time then he would go out and find medicine, his body wasn't strong, but it was healthy, even though it was slightly thin, it was his normal physique anyway.


He put on some clothes and went to the bathroom, washed his face with warm water, and then looked into the mirror, looked at the delicate man in the mirror, actually he didn't look that old, forehead, hair, cheeks, neck, everything looked youthful, and there was absolutely no difference with a twenty three or twenty four years old man, only his eyes looked worn out, slightly deeper, the color was also deep, and seemed quite haggard.


Shu Nian stared blankly at the person in the mirror for a long time, he thought he didn't do well enough, and might not understand himself that well, therefore he would like to have a closer look.


Of course, besides from his familiar and mediocre features, he didn't see anything else, and he couldn't imagine that everything would turn like that.


He would naturally see Xie Yan at the dining table during breakfast, they didn't spend the night together for the past few days, because Shu Nian became a light sleeper, just a slight movement near him would make him wide awake until dawn. In the past both would sleep soundly once Xie Yan held him, but now it would only counteract.
