Who could enter a person's life was determined by destiny, but destiny could not determine who stayed in a person's life. The only one who could decide that was the person himself.
Since Su Ming could not forget them, then it was fine for him to not forget them, even if everything was reduced to emptiness… and even if everything turned into the lingering rays of dusk that vanished without a trace as darkness descended, until not even a shadow could be found.
Su Ming walked past Tian Xie Zi, just like how he moved through his life, going from winter to either spring or the other seasons. When he reached the city gate, there was no longer any snow or wind behind him.
When he walked into the city, Tian Xie Zi's faint sigh could be heard behind him. It had compassion, complicated emotions, and pride.
His compassion was due to Su Ming's entire life. His complicated emotions were due to Su Ming's choice, but he was also proud of Su Ming.
