Even if it was only once.
Even if it was only for a moment.
"But..."
He knew something like that could never happen.
That was why he wanted to treasure the happiness he had been given now more than anything else.
"Happiness is different for everyone, after all. Those two would probably have fun wherever they ended up, somehow."
He could almost picture his mother pulling his father's hand while saying, "Come on, hurry up!"
If that was true, then Qiong Xing had to become happier than anyone else as well.
"I hope Nicole can find happiness too."
Even if it could not happen immediately, he hoped that one day she would find the happiness that belonged to her.
...
Qiong Xing had expected that she would wake up, so even while holding her in his arms, he had not placed her back onto the bed.
In the dark room, he stared at the moonlight streaming through the window and reminisced about the past.
"...Did you wake up?"
The girl's head twitched slightly.
