Luckily, I didn't leave in a fit of anger back then. If I had stubbornly walked away, who would still be by my side now? Han Fei? It's true that I've taken a fancy to her, but would she necessarily take a fancy to me? Not necessarily. Given our respective standings, without a long period of getting along, it's impossible to say anything for sure.
Han Fei is a very clever person; even now, I cannot tell whether she has feelings for me or not. Her inner thoughts—whether she is calm or happy—are never revealed too much. Perfection always comes with a price, after all; every word and action of hers is meticulously controlled. Keeping this up for long makes it hard to change anything in a short time. Even her smile is graceful, yet it looks somewhat fake.
This is also why I was so surprised when she agreed to come away with me. "Let's go. We'll slowly wander from the edge of the territories all the way to the final destination, the main base. Let's move out!"
