"General Bai, matters of the heart cannot be forced, you do know that?"
General Bai looked at the calmly composed Jidan. "Have you truly let go of our relationship?"
At this moment, Jidan's heart was aching to the extreme, yet right now she simply could not let General Bai see any weaknesses, or else everything she had done would be in vain.
"Yes, I have let go," Jidan admitted. "Affection is something that fades with time, and on top of that, too many things have happened to me. I no longer have the strength to love someone."
"If that is your choice, then..." General Bai's voice choked up. Who could believe that General Bai, known for his bravery and skill in battle, would have such a fragile side? "I will respect it."
"Cherish the people beside you, General Bai. You still have a chance to love!"
After Jidan spoke those words, she turned and ascended the stairs. No one saw the tears she could no longer control falling as she turned away.
