Chun Hua tilted its head up, gazing at the man who was like a giant to it, then looked over at the prone form of Song Lianhe.
Zhou Cangyan was holding her hand. His fingers suddenly tightened, then slowly relaxed a moment later.
He looked up at her, his tone light. "Since you don't plan on coming back, I'll go find you. I'll find you no matter where you are."
He lowered his gaze. "Chun Hua."
As if it knew what he was about to do, Chun Hua let out a desolate, mournful cry.
"Go on. Go wherever you want. You don't have to come back."
Chun Hua hesitated, shuffling its feet as it slowly approached him. It then rubbed its head against his leg, a deep PURR rumbling in its throat.
"I have nothing left to tie me here," he stated in the calmest of tones, as if giving final instructions. "She used all her strength to find her way back. I won't let her go alone again."
Zhou Cangyan was a man of decisive action. Once he made a decision, he would not change his mind, let alone regret it.
