That you didn’t want to part, even when it caused you so much pain.” “…” “That made me really happy,” Hua Cheng finished, his voice low.”

“In an instant, Hua Cheng shattered into thousands of silver butterflies right before Xie Lian’s eyes, transforming into a breeze of twinkling stars that he could neither embrace nor hold. Even as his arms came up empty, he maintained that hugging position, not moving a limb.

“Hua Cheng didn’t answer him directly. Instead, he bent one knee and knelt on the ground before him. He raised his head to gaze at him with a broad smile. “How’s this? Gege, do you remember now?” How could he not? Back then, the nameless ghost had always bent the knee to him just the same!

“The air was alight with a shimmering, twinkling glow. The butterflies’ wings sparkled, just as they had during their first reunion after eight hundred years apart. A silver butterfly drifted over and lightly brushed the back of Xie Lian’s hand, his cheek, his forehead. Its actions were full of affectionate longing, as if it were whispering its goodbyes. Xie Lian numbly extended a hand and let it rest there. The silver butterfly fluttered its wings in delight, and sure enough, it lingered for him. But it too couldn’t last. It wasn’t long before it scattered on the wind like the rest. However, in the spot where it had perched on Xie Lian’s third finger, there was still a bright, vivid red string.”

“Xie Lian knew that was probably true. He couldn’t win. But even if he couldn’t, he had to fight! “No,” Hua Cheng interjected. “Your Highness, you can win.” Stunned, Xie Lian stared at him, and Hua Cheng returned his gaze measure for measure. “You can win. You’re stronger than him.” His one eye was as bright as if it were ablaze, and he said with certainty, “Believe me. He’s wrong. You’re right. You’re stronger than him. You’re much stronger than him!”
