"Once again, I failed to tell him the truth."Yuzhen sat heavily on the edge of his bed, disheartened, stared at the wedding attire he was supposed to wear the next day. His heart grew heavy with guilt—he was deceiving Zoe by hiding his true identity.
"Tomorrow… I will tell him."Trying to convince himself, Yuzhen closed his eyes, attempting to sleep. But his mind was restless, flooded with questions and fears about how Zoe might react. Sleep never came.
The next morning, Rui entered the room and was startled by the sight of the bride with dark circles under his eyes."What happened to your face? Didn't sleep well?" he asked, teasing. "Don't tell me you were too excited to sleep?"
Yuzhen didn't respond, simply offering a faint smile as if agreeing.
Rui helped him into the attire, speaking softly."Yuzhen, I don't know how this marriage will turn out… but I do know one thing—you've found someone who truly wants to be with you, for this lifetime."
