2032 Promise
"I have no plan for that too, Brother Long."
Nan Hua's words sounded indifferent, but there was a trace of solemnness within. She was making her promise for Long Qian Xing and for herself.
A promise she wanted to keep for the rest of her life.
She had made him waited for a long time because of her own uneasiness, confusion, and indecisiveness.
Most of her decision was usually made quickly because it involved the immediate life and death. But when it came to her own feelings, Nan Hua couldn't come to term with it immediately and refused to acknowledge it.
Burying her feelings deep in her heart, too afraid to show it.
Because she knew very well that the moment she showed her heart out was the moment when she put herself in vulnerable position. Allowing herself to be hurt again after she had long tried to bury everything in her heart and never let anyone knew about what she felt in the past.
But she had no regret.
Because she knew that her life is short and she also wanted to experience the live with the person she loves for the rest of her life.
There might be some bumpy road in the middle.
But she wanted to try it.
Not just because her heart was moved but also because she had seen his sincerity and knew that running away would only hurt both of them.
So, she had to step forward to take it.
For both of their sake.
Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua's eyes and his heart skipped a beat. There was no need for any romantic words nor any sweet words, because he knew that he couldn't expect those from her.
But he knew very well that Nan Hua was someone who kept her words when she meant it.
And she was making her promise to him and to herself.
"I'll always be by your side, a constant presence in your journey, supporting you, protecting you and standing with you through it all." Long Qian Xing said slowly, word by words. He looked straight in Nan Hua's eyes as he made his promise. In this life, let him be with her.
If possible, he wanted to stay with Nan Hua in her next life too, but he was sure that saying it now would not be believable. After all, he didn't know what he would do in the next life, if that life even exist.
The two of them looked at each other with a faint smile on their lips.
Some things didn't require words to say.
Because time will tell how long would their feelings towards each other will
eventually last but the two of them were sure that it'll last until the rest of their lives. They were not willing to leave the other party unless death separate them.
