This was the closest he could get to her. In the end, he could only watch her drift farther and farther away, without even a chance to approach.
Neither in the dream nor in the reality before him had he ever had the slightest chance.
Or perhaps, in the dream, he had seemed to have a chance, only to tear it away with his own hands. By the time he regretted it at the brink of death, it was too late. So when he opened his eyes to reality, he could not even see the shadow of a chance.
The first time he saw Qiao Ranran, that man had been at her side like a shadow, never hesitating for a moment.
"Miss Qiao, are you happy?"
Qiao Ranran froze for an instant, as though she did not understand why Feng Changdong would ask. But then her face lit up, and she said softly, "Thank you, Daoist Feng. I'm very happy."
Whether it was meeting Pei Ling, meeting everyone else, being able to help them with her own abilities, or now sharing her heart with Pei Ling and staying by his side, she felt happy about all of it.
"That's good." Feng Changdong still wore an easy, untroubled smile.
Setting everything else aside, Feng Changdong was a very good person.
"You'll be happy too, Daoist Feng!"
Author's note: Pei Ling: What have you all been doing while I'm away?
Author: Still hoping to steal your girl, probably?
