Why does Ye Changqing love Chu Yu?
When he became a disciple at eleven, his heart was already old. He schemed at every turn and planned each step in advance. He had long since lost the feeling of being a child, yet he still put on a smile every day and played the part, trying to please others. He was so tired he had nearly given up on life.
Then she appeared: someone truly sunny, a real sun.
She was nonsensical and mischievous, and she dragged him into all sorts of ridiculous antics. His fake smile became genuine, as if he no longer needed to pretend and had truly become a lively child.
He was like a withered tree that had finally found water by drawing near to her. Instinctively, he edged closer, greedily wanting to embrace her and even take root there. But she was a rain-bearing cloud, belonging to no tree. All he could do was look up at her and wait silently for her to stop.
He loved her instinctively. He couldn't help loving her.
Ye Changqing was a withered tree, a wilting flower, while Chu Yu was a rain-bearing cloud.
He longed for her, was obsessed with her, and would die without her. But she wouldn't stay for him, so all he could do was wait with a smile.
