My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Under his sunglasses, Orion's eyes flickered with uncertainty. He lowered his head slightly, looking extremely nervous and conflicted.

Xanthea bent down to pick up her little backpack, and Orion, thinking she was about to leave, quickly grabbed her Xanthea: "7"

He slowly nodded, and Xanthea was thrilled that she almost jumped up. "Really?!"

He wouldn't show his eyes to anyone, but he was willing to show them to her!

She carefully approached him, slowly sliding his sunglasses off. Orion held his breath, tense and worried that she might be frightened or repulsed by what she saw A pair of eyes, black and lustrous like obsidian, emerged. They were like stars in the sky, shimmering brightly in the distant, dark night sky, that they could draw anyone in. They were stunning!

Xanthea was mesmerized.

Orion's thick, raven lashes fluttered with uncertainty and confusion.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

He attempted to put his sunglasses back on, but Xanthea stopped him. "No! They're beautiful, like little stars in the sky!"

Orion was taken aback. Little stars?

His stepmother used to curse his eyes as empty and terrifying, threatening to gouge them out. Yet, here was Xanthea, finding them beautiful, like stars in the night sky.

"Please, don't put the sunglasses back on. Let me look at them a little longer, okay?"

As Xanthea gazed into his eyes, she leaned in closer without realizing it.

Her cute, rosy face came nearer, and her amber eyes, filled with affection, made Orion shyly lower his head.

Truth be told, she was the prettiest of all.

Seeing him shyly lower his head, Xanthea reluctantly withdrew her gaze and smacked her lips.

Back during the fire at the abandoned building in the suburbs, the thick smoke obscured his face, leaving only his red burned mark visible Thinking about it now, if his eyes were so beautiful, his face must be even more handsome. Who could have been so cruel to him? Xanthea, feeling a pang of empathy, tiptoed and gently patted his head. "Let me take you to see the stars!"

See the stars?

"Don't worry, Ill call the housekeeper and ask him to come later. As for your grandfather, well, it's his own fault for always being late. Let him worry a bit!"

Meanwhile, Tom, sitting in the driver's seat of the stretched Lincoln, joked with Theodore in the back. "The young master and Ms. Xanthea Nightshade's 'date' is quite long."

In the central garden, amidst a fragrant flower bed in full bloom with begonias, they were a spectacular sight, their vibrant colors competing for attention.

Xanthea pulled Orion to sit on the grass, pointing at the stars above. "Aren't they beautiful?"

As night fell, the dark blue sky spread out like a canvas, dotted with billions of twinkling stars.

It had been a long time since Orion had looked at anything without his sunglasses, and he nodded emphatically.

Xanthea turned to ask him, "Do you know about constellations?"

Constellations?

"Not just the zodiac ones!"

She pointed towards a group of stars in the sky near the ecliptic. "

"Next to it, two stars form a line pointing towards the constellation Andromeda. That cross shaped m constellation is Cygnus constellation. South of Cygnus is the Yulpecula constellation. Do you see those two pointy tips? Don't they look like the fluffy ears of a fox?
