Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Nian Sheng's lips trembled uncontrollably.
She had truly waited far too long for this day.
Seeing tears welling in Nian Sheng's eyes, Chen Changsheng gently stroked her head and said, "I'm sorry. I made you wait too long."
"It took me a full two hundred thousand years to understand such a simple truth as cherishing the person before me!"
"No! It isn't late at all!"
Nian Sheng grabbed Chen Changsheng's hand and shook her head. "As long as I can wait for Brother Changsheng to look back at me, even if it takes two million years, Nian Sheng is willing to wait."
"Two hundred thousand years is no more than a drop in the ocean to us."
Chen Changsheng had just opened his mouth to dissuade her when a slender jade hand covered his lips.
Looking at Chen Changsheng before her, Nian Sheng smiled. "Brother Changsheng, you are one of the wise ones in this world."
"There is a principle you surely understand: what is honey to you may be poison to me."
"Pursuing longevity may be agony for others, but to me, it is the happiest thing under heaven."
"Because only by attaining longevity can I remain by your side forever, Brother Changsheng."
"Nian Sheng is not someone who knows contentment. On the contrary, I am very greedy. I will not be satisfied with merely spending one short stretch of time with you, Brother Changsheng."
"What I want is eternity!"
Seeing the resolve in Nian Sheng's eyes, Chen Changsheng pursed his lips. "If it had been before, I would certainly have stopped you."
"Because struggling through endless years is always a painful thing."
"But later, I discovered that this conclusion was not entirely correct."
"When our roles changed, so did our understanding of longevity."
