He Jing spent his life telling countless lies. As he neared the end, the two things he remembered most clearly were what he had said to Yang Ke all those years ago.
“Come with me. Stay by my side, and I’ll protect you.”
Two young hands reached out. Two dirty little faces met, and the children smiled at each other.
Back then, Yang Ke didn’t understand that even if they both fell into the mud, He Jing and he were still different.
The other words came when someone questioned Yang Ke.
“An insignificant ant could never catch my eye,” He Jing replied.
He said it with a faint smile, but his heart was pounding with fear.
“A-Ke, do you regret it?”
“To be with you, Young Master, I would die without regret!”
