Ye Feng was stunned. For that fleeting moment, time seemed to freeze, and all the hustle and bustle of the surroundings faded away, leaving only the woman before him. His gaze moved tenderly across Luna's face as the emotions in his heart surged like a rising tide.
After a long while, he smiled gently, a smile brimming with boundless tenderness and bittersweet emotion. Then, raising his hand, he leaned forward and stroked Luna's head with utmost gentleness.
Ye Feng knew very well that he was by no means a heartless deity. In the unimaginably long, river-like expanse of the years they had spent together, deep feelings had long since taken root and intertwined in the depths of his heart like resilient vines. To say he felt nothing for Luna would be pure self-deception; how could he ever fool his own heart? It was only that past circumstances, acting like cold and heavy shackles, had firmly bound him, forcing him to bury this affection deep within his heart, hidden away from the light of day.
