Shi Nian sniffed sadly, "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry... I really don't know what's so good about me that makes you put aside your pride time and again. Your pride is like snow-capped mountains and flowing clouds, never disturbed by the mundane world. Mr. Tang, you should keep your pride, it's not worth lowering yourself to the dirt for someone as ordinary as me again and again."
Huangfu Huazhang stood solitary in the wind. It was as if he was answering Shi Nian, yet also seemed to be speaking to distract himself, "Love in this world, in truth, is a selfish thing. What someone loves is perhaps forever just an illusion in their heart. Even if that illusion wears a real identity, what a lover desires is simply some aspect of that person that fulfills their fantasy."
