But I am not her. Even if there is no distance between us at this moment, I will never know how much pain and grievance she has suffered with me. What I do know is that she is the one who treated me with sincerity.

Sincerity begets sincerity, so I'm willing to treat her the same way... If we set aside romantic feelings, this is actually quite beautiful.

I placed my hand on her hair, let out a soft sigh, and looked up into the distance... I saw the bright moonlight quietly shining on the towering Cangshan Mountain. The world in my eyes was gentle, just like the feeling I had at that moment, caring for others and warming myself.

...

After a dreamless night, the next morning, news came that Tie Nan had been sentenced to three years in prison for harboring others to use drugs and engaging in illicit transactions. This result was within our expectations. Although we felt regret, we accepted it calmly.

I wasn't present when the verdict was announced; Coach Ma was. The reason I didn't go was because I felt guilty towards him. It was I who provided a crucial lead that brought his fact of harboring others to use drugs to light... I felt guilty, but I didn't regret it... If we hadn't stopped his escalating greed in time, there was no guarantee he wouldn't personally traffic and sell drugs next time. Once that possibility became a reality, it wouldn't be as simple as a three-year sentence; it would be a crime that would cost him his life.

...

At noon, I had lunch with Coach Ma. He's very magnanimous, so he didn't get angry with me again about the time he brought me the rhinitis medicine. I was magnanimous too; not only did I not mind his cowardly act of avoiding the White Dew solar term, but I also ate vegetarian food with him.
