He Le and Liu Shao have now moved into a villa by the sea. Every night Liu Shao opens the window and falls asleep listening to the sound of the waves. Sometimes the noise was so loud that He Le couldn't sleep and was even a little scared, so he had to move to the guest room next door. Before leaving, Mr. Liu would give him an apologetic kiss. He Le always responded softly, "It doesn't matter."
He once asked Mr. Liu, "After all these years, do you regret it?"
Liu Shao said, "If I had the qualifications to regret it, I would not live until now."
