"Not at all, Nezha. It is precisely because of your existence that I have realized there is another way to live. You have given me the courage and strength to no longer obey blindly, but to start thinking about what truly matters," Ao Bing said softly.
Nezha felt warmth in his heart; Ao Bing's words provided him with immense comfort and encouragement. Perhaps their relationship was not a one-sided influence, but rather a mutual achievement and growth.
"Ao Bing," Nezha gathered his courage and decided to express the feelings he had buried deep inside, "I love you. Not just the love between friends, but something deeper, something purer... love."
A flicker of surprise crossed Ao Bing's eyes, which soon softened with deep affection. "I know, Nezha. I also... love you, in my own way."
This simple response made Nezha's heart race, a warm current flowing through him. Ao Bing's love, though subtle, was equally sincere and profound.
"Wait for me to come back," Ao Bing said softly. "Once everything settles down, I will find a way to see you again. Even if it's just for a brief reunion, it's better than being separated forever."
Nezha tightly grasped Ao Bing's hand; this promise gave him immense courage and hope. "I will wait for you, no matter how long it takes."
The two nestled together on the bench, gazing at the starry sky, savoring this fleeting moment of tranquility and warmth. At that moment, the impending separation seemed less daunting because their hearts were tightly connected, transcending the limits of time and space.
On the fifth day, Nezha took a leave of absence from all his classes and brought Ao Bing to a small mountain in the countryside. The scenery there was beautiful and far from the hustle and bustle—a place neither of them had visited before. They climbed slowly along the mountain path, chatting and laughing as if they had returned to the early days of their companionship.
At the observation deck on the mountaintop, they overlooked the entire city. The autumn sun was warm yet gentle, casting a golden glow over the cityscape.
"It's beautiful," Ao Bing remarked softly. "I never thought human cities could have such stunning views."
Nezha nodded in agreement. "Yes, every time I see such scenery, it makes me love this world even more, love life even more."
Ao Bing pondered, "Although the Dragon Palace is resplendent, it lacks this kind of natural vitality and energy. Perhaps that's why I miss the human world so much."
Nezha looked at Ao Bing's contemplative profile, a surge of impulse rising within him. "Ao Bing, let's elope! We can go to a place where no one knows us and live like ordinary people. We can leave behind the responsibilities of the Dragon Tribe and the burdens of schoolwork. It will just be you and me, living freely."
Ao Bing was taken aback for a moment before chuckling softly. "Nezha, you are still so impulsive."
"I'm serious," Nezha insisted. "We could go to a southern island or a northern mountain village and find a quiet place to settle down. I could teach children how to play soccer, and you could open a small bookstore or music shop. Simple yet happy, free yet fulfilling. Wouldn't such a life be beautiful?"
A glimmer of longing flashed in Ao Bing's eyes, but he quickly regained his rationality. "It does sound wonderful, but it's not realistic. The Dragon Tribe will send people to look for me, and... can you really set aside your dreams and family to live such a secluded life for me?"
Nezha fell silent; Ao Bing was right. He loved soccer and dreamed of becoming a coach, hoping to share the joy of the sport with more people. This dream had supported him through many difficult times—could he truly give it up so easily? And how could he ignore the high hopes and love his parents had for him?
