Chapter 651 - 10.46 Good Night, Pandora
As they flew across the sky, Lu Yizhou tightened his hold around Pandora and dropped a lingering kiss on his forehead. "Go," he murmured. "It’s time for you to wake up."
"Huh?" Pandora whipped his head up in confusion. But before he could ask what Lu Yizhou meant by that, their bodies crossed the gate of Nightingale Prison. In an instant, something unimaginable and shocking happened.
The scenery around them froze as if someone had pressed a pause button. The loud siren in the air, the red lights from the watchtower, the ruckus from the prison building as well as Christian and Percy who were yelling and shouting for them... all of them stopped and the atmosphere turned deathly still.
The beautiful night sky cracked, and small pieces of fragments drifted down. It reminded Lu Yizhou of the ash-colored snow he saw when he entered Nightingale Prison for the first time. His feet gently landed on the ground as the scenery around him started to distort.
Pandora was shocked by the sudden changes in front of his eyes and his body tensed in reflex. He had no idea why but... his heart tightened in fear when he saw this scene. As if something deep within him was trying to prevent it from happening. Panic surged up his chest and his breathing quickened in pace. No... He should not... This should not happen...
"Don’t be afraid," Lu Yizhou’s calm and soothing voice came above him, drawing all of Pandora’s attention.
He raised his head to see Lu Yizhou smiling gently at him. It was so strange. Clearly, the world around them had started to blur and lose its color, and everything disintegrated into pieces bit by bit as if doom had descended. Yet only this person’s face was reflected in his eyes with vivid clarity. Under the night sky, his silver eyes glowed as if a flame had been ignited within. "This time, you will not be alone. You will always have me by your side..."
As soon as Pandora heard this, the traces of fear and apprehension in his heart melted away just like magic. Following the relief was a strike of intense drowsiness, it dragged behind his eyelids and began to pull his consciousness under. "Hmm?" He rubbed his eyes and mumbled, "I have just slept just now so... why am I feeling so sleepy...?"
"Sleep well," Lu Yizhou pressed another kiss onto his forehead. Soft and gentle, filled with the utmost affection of a devoted lover. "Good night, Pandora."
