Perhaps sensing his gaze, she slowly opened her eyes.
She happened to see the inside of his eyes, which were dark, deep, and transparent, but his former inscrutability disappeared, and everything appeared in front of her: tiredness, loneliness, fear, uneasiness, worry, sincerity, peace of mind, and compromise.
... She was shocked. After such a long time, she finally found a suitable word: calm down.
Yes, it was to settle the matter. She was prepared to accept any storm of fate thousands of times; she was prepared to fight the horn of battle thousands of times, but in the end, it was just a ball of cotton - a fist filled with true energy knocked on a pile of thick cotton.

She had thought that she might kill him too.
She had hated him repeatedly, thinking that he owed her so much, and when the two met on a narrow road, there was no room for mercy...

She stared at his thin face, haggard and bleak, and felt chills in her heart. Winter was still winter - no matter how warm it was, it was not summer.
She shrank slightly from the cold and clung to his chest, as if grabbing the last bit of warmth.
"Miaolian, you are also haggard."
He said she was haggard, not old - it was such a cruel thing to say old to a woman. However, Feng Miaolian knew that she was indeed old, and like him, she had already gone through her best and most prosperous days.
.People in ancient times had short life spans, and they could already be considered middle-aged at their age; unlike in modern times, people do not receive the "Top Ten Outstanding Youth Awards" until they are forty years old.
At that time, the average life span of human beings was only over 30 years old.
He is in his early thirties; and she is almost there.
