Memories of Yang Hualing and King Jin flashed inside Yi Ling's mind.
Their relationship had begun with a slow courtship. Initially, King Jin was hesitant and kept his distance, but he no longer ran away from her. Yang Hualing remained persistent, keeping him company without scaring him off.
After five years, King Jin slowly opened his heart to her. He took her to beautiful places, dined with her at every meal, walked with her around the garden, and engaged in many other activities. Although they had never kissed, he held her hand and was no longer cold, though still somewhat reluctant. This was enough for Yang Hualing. She didn't care how long it would take to fully open his heart to her; she patiently waited, and this continued for another twenty years.
