"Little Brother Mo, you've been through so much."
Niu Kexin wrapped her arms around Mo Qi's neck from behind. Her eyes were red, and her voice choked with emotion.
Mo Qi didn't move from his reclining position, simply turning his head slightly to press his cheek against hers.
He squeezed her hand and smiled. "They say Heaven tests those it has great plans for, first tempering their will and tiring their bodies. Perhaps this is just what it means to grow. But then again, with you and Ruyan here, and with Liu Hui, San Pang, and everyone else who supports me, it's not hard at all."
"It's you all I'm worried about. As long as you don't find it draining to follow me, and as long as you don't regret your decision, then I'm content."
Hearing Mo Qi's words, Niu Kexin closed her eyes as two streams of tears slid from their corners.
She tightened her arms around him and said nothing more.
