After version 1.5, the story moves on to the space station and Penacony, bringing the Luofu story to a close. I thought I'd write a wrap-up for Yanqing.
Everyone's relationships are familial or platonic.
After the swarm's buzzing faded, everything around him grew quiet, and the air turned fresh. Birdsong rang out from deep in the forest, clear and bright. Looking up, he could see a deep blue sky framed by lush green leaves.
It was spring.
Yanqing thought of many things.
He touched the petals, soft once more, and remembered a time long ago. The willow leaves had been soft then too, though they pricked a little. The sun had been just right, the breeze gentle. Sitting by the pond, he'd smiled and said to his companions: We must never let spring pass us by.
That was the Luofu more than a hundred years ago. Back then, he was still a child.
Let's go back for a visit.
Yanqing chuckled, tucked his sword into place, and walked across the ice, still damp and with petals on his head. In a good mood, he began to hum.
Theme: We are always losing things, but we are also constantly gaining them
I didn't feel anything at first, but in the end, Yanqing seemed relieved. However, to me, "relief" felt more like a compromise with fate, a stillness after the surface of water has calmed. It was painful, a dull ache like a knife slowly piercing my chest.
What a heartwarming story! I'm so relieved to see everyone doing so well!! The General once told Xiao Yan not to rush, and now the grown-up Xiao Yan tells the two adopted children not to rush—hahaha, there's a beautiful sense of tradition! It also made me empathize with the General's thoughts back then; karma really works its own way!
What a wonderful story! How can I put it...? Every loss has its gain. Yanqing's future is very long. In his youth, he will continue along the path of his predecessors. Now, he can forge new paths and make countless companions traveling the universe like him. He can see the magical creatures he only knew from stories in his childhood.
Yanqing!!! Why is it a knife? General, who talks about lifespan...
As I've grown up, I feel that this is how Yanqing, who grew up surrounded by love, should be: spirited in his youth, composed in his adulthood, having seen countless beautiful sights, traveled through numerous galaxies, encountered many extraordinary adventures, and become famous throughout the world.
There are so few Yan Qing stories on Jinjiang Literature City, this one is really well written! It fits the character perfectly, the portrayal is very delicate, and it feels like I just swallowed a warm knife.
A great story. I wanted to die after reading it.
Aside from that damn theory about lifespan, there are no knives at all 😭
Warmth and sadness...
The sun, that's Jingyuan...
