    Zuo Ying had originally intended to bury his delusions deep within his heart forever—at most, he would use ambiguous little gifts or others' misunderstandings for amusement; he knew he couldn't overstep the bounds. But on the Qixi Festival, her actions caused his desires to burst forth, and from then on, they were uncontrollable. He quickly understood the reason. Perhaps every god longs for the days of being mortal; she fulfilled her divine duties, but she also had her own needs. In his presence, she no longer needed to be a goddess. He was glad that day he had said "I don't want to become an immortal or a god (to be by her side)," but rather "to be her earthly bodyguard," otherwise— Zuo Ying raised his hand and touched the mandarin duck-patterned hairpin in his hair, smiling silently. Otherwise, that hairpin would have been stuck in his throat that day. Occasionally, the owner of the gambling den also needed to meet and receive distinguished guests. Zuo Ying would always be asked why he wore such a simple hairpin. "The lady herself put this in my hair, I dare not refuse."
