At that moment, a wondrous phenomenon occurred—Nezha and Ao Bing's rings emitted light once again, this time more intensely than before, forming a red and blue intertwined beam that shot up into the night sky.
Meanwhile, the sealed area on the distant sea also glowed with the same radiance, harmonizing with the beams from the rings.
"Is this what Aunt Taiyi meant by resonance?" Nezha exclaimed, astonished by the sight.
Ao Bing nodded, "It seems so. When our emotions reach a new height, this phenomenon is triggered."
The light lasted for about a minute before gradually fading away. As everything returned to calm, Nezha and Ao Bing noticed subtle changes in their rings—the patterns on them had become clearer, as if activated by some unseen force.
"The ring has changed," Nezha observed in surprise. "What do you think it means?"
Ao Bing examined his ring closely. "I'm not sure, but it might indicate that our bond has deepened further. Taiyi Zhenren once said that true power comes from mutual trust and support."
Nezha smiled as he held Ao Bing's hand. "No matter what it means, I'm just glad we experienced this moment together."
The two stood by the seaside, facing the vast ocean, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat. In that moment, all the past memories and storms they had weathered together transformed into a profound and lasting love that flowed between them.
"Ao Bing," Nezha called softly, "it's so wonderful to meet you tonight."
Ao Bing paused for a moment before understanding the deeper meaning behind Nezha's words. This statement referred not only to that night but also to that afternoon twenty years ago when they first met on the soccer field.
"Meeting you is truly wonderful," Ao Bing replied, his voice filled with emotion. "Regardless of the past, present, or future, the thing I cherish most is always having met you."
As the sun set in the west, its last rays spilled over the sea, turning it a golden red. Nezha gently pulled Ao Bing into his embrace, holding him tightly. In this familiar seaside setting, memories from twenty years ago intertwined with the present moment, creating a warm and touching scene.
"Do you know?" Nezha whispered, his breath brushing against Ao Bing's ear. "That impulsive and reckless boy never imagined he would have such a life—someone he loves deeply, dreams fulfilled, and responsibilities to protect. You changed everything for me."
Ao Bing leaned back slightly, cupping Nezha's face in his hands and gazing deeply into his still-bright eyes. "And that prince who only wanted to fulfill his responsibilities never thought he would have such a colorful life. You taught me to bravely pursue everything I truly desire."
The sea breeze gently stirred their hair, intertwining it—one strand red, one strand blue—just like their intertwined fates. In the distance, the sun slowly sank below the horizon, painting the sky with brilliant evening hues as if creating the most beautiful backdrop for this pair of lovers.
Nezha's ring touched Ao Bing's, emitting a faint yet warm glow like their undying love within their hearts.
"No matter what awaits us next," Nezha declared firmly, "I will always be by your side, just as you have always been by mine."
"Until the seas run dry and rocks crumble," Ao Bing softly echoed.
"Until time itself ceases," Nezha continued.
Their foreheads gently touched at this seaside location that had witnessed their first meeting, growth, and countless promises as they renewed their eternal vow once more.
As the last ray of sunlight disappeared below the horizon and stars began to twinkle in the sky, they quietly bore witness to another beautiful moment etched in time for this couple who transcended races and defied fate while weathering storms together.
