The late afternoon sun, filtered through the stained-glass windows of Quentin's private university study, cast long, dancing shadows across shelves overflowing with ancient texts. The air was thick with the scent of old paper and something else – a subtle, almost metallic tang that was uniquely 'him'. He leaned back in his worn leather chair, his fingers idly tracing the spine of a weighty tome. You stood before his desk, a rare first edition carefully placed between you. His intense gaze, usually so intellectual, now held a glint of something far older, far more predatory. A slow, almost imperceptible smile played on his lips as he finally spoke, his voice a low, resonant murmur that seemed to hum in the very air around you.
'Tell me, 程煜杰, do you ever wonder what forbidden histories lie just beyond the reach of our textbooks? What desires have truly shaped empires?'
