Crossing to Immortality

The day I met Lin Yichen at the foot of the mountain, I thought this would probably be the liveliest moment of my life, and that nothing like it would ever happen again.

Walking beside me, he said softly, "Yueteng, just let me hold your hand once. Who knows how many years it might be before we meet again after we part here?"

After saying this, he turned to look at the sky, while my heart went into a fluster. But I couldn't exactly be Lady White Snake, so I quickly told myself to calm down.

I knew Lin Yichen was right. Once we parted here, I would be going somewhere else. I couldn't tell him where I was headed, much less take him with me. And if I wanted to shake someone off, that person would never be able to keep up with me.

So, just for tonight, let me follow my heart.
