   True affection is unspoken. Between Yang Yanchen and Lin Die'er, the word "love" was never uttered. He redeemed her from her servitude, gave her a new identity, taught her spy skills, and dealt with every threat that could expose her. When she cried in her sleep, calling Zhang Zhiming's name, he heard it but pretended not to; when she cried in a corner after Zhang Zhiming's wedding, he saw her from afar but didn't approach. He simply stood in the shadows, guarding her light. This affection was suppressed under the weight of "national duty" and "sibling status," never spoken until death—and never needed to be spoken.
