“I'm not as incredible as you think. I only want to see that man one more time, to see the disappointment on his face. Let him know that demonic core didn't take, that it didn't control me. That I'm still myself.”

“You didn't even cry when Yu Ai betrayed you, but now you are crying over someone you don't even know?

Everything I experienced, whether they were setbacks or predicaments, were things I could endure. But this little boy... He probably never hurt anymore. The reason Heaven let him be born into this world should not be for him to suffer. Evertone has the right to live. No matter how hard life is, there should at least be hope for him to see a way out.”
― Meng Xi Shi, Thousand Autumns: Qian Qiu (Novel), Vol. 2

“...and in that moment, sitting next to Chu Wanning, Mo Ran had the thought--the absurd, ridiculous thought--that it wouldn't be so bad to spend the rest of their lives like this.”

“Gege, want to get married?”

Xie Lian was struck dumb. “...Huh?”

Such an intent gaze, such words; they were in such close quarters with nowhere to run. Colors exploded in Xie Lian's vision, and his mind went completely blank. His entire body was frozen, stiffer than a corpse.

Seeing his reaction, Hua Cheng withdrew his arm and let out a snicker. “It's a joke. Did I shock gege?”

“...” Xie Lian only snapped out of it with concerted effort. “...You're too much. How can you joke about something like that?”

It wasn't just shock. He was so rattled by that question that his heart had almost stopped. And though he did not quite understand why, he also felt a trace of hurt.

“My bad,” Hua Cheng laughed.”
