"Because I looked just like a fluffy little fox!"
"He was such a good boy, always following me."
As she spoke, she cupped her face, seemingly lost in a blend of longing and reminiscence.
"Do you still remember him?"
The man's voice, rough with a gritty texture, echoed in her ear. Xanthea nodded, "Of course, but I never really saw his face. He just left, without even saying a goodbye."
"But I remember his eyes!"
"Like stars in the night sky, twinkling; they are so clear and bright, they could suck you right in."
"Ori, would you get jealous if I say this."
She suddenly turned, only to fall into a pair of deep, dark eyes that seemed bottomless, with only the pupils shimmering brightly, just like the stars in the sky.
For a moment, they seemed to overlap with the eyes from her memory.
"Huh? Ori, you kinda look like him!"
Xanthea shook her head, feeling like she must have been drunk.
"Xannie."
Orion's heart throbbed, gripping her hand tighter.
"But you're definitely not him. He's long gone."
The next second, she collapsed into his arms, her breathing even and steady.
Orion looked down, his gaze hiding all the turmoil and affection, and gently kissed her forehead. "Xannie, I never left. I've always been by your side."
"Pretty Sister! Pretty Sister, wake up! The sun's out and shining!"
In the morning, Xanthea was roused by a child's noisy yet innocent voice.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and, upon seeing a small bun holding onto her feet, she was stunned.
Who was she? Where was she? And where did this little bun come from?!
Sebastian, seeing her eyes open, happily climbed onto the bed, "Pretty Sister, you finally woke up, you sleep more than my pet!"
"Uncle said to drink this once you're awake, and you won't feel bad anymore."
He handed her a mug of honey water on the bedside table. Xanthea drank it, feeling refreshed and much better, her memories gradually returning.
She had ignored Orion's advice last night and ended up blackout drunk again.
"Seb, what pet do you have?"
"Peppa!"
Xanthea almost spit her water out laughing.
She realized this kid, just like Orion, had a harmless facade but was secretly very sly.
"Where's your uncle? Is he cooking breakfast?"
"No." He shook his head. "Uncle left early for the office with Uncle Leonard, he said he left you a voice message for when you wake up."
Xanthea called up the smart home assistant and immediately heard Orion's voice.
Tsk. He's such a model husband!

"Mom went to visit grandma's grave!"
"Oh?" Xanthea raised an eyebrow, "Why didn't you go?"
"I wanted to stay and play with Pretty Sister!"
After saying this, a mischievous glint flashed in his eyes, making Xanthea slightly stunned, almost thinking she had seen a hallucination.
