Qingya and Ling Xin turned their heads to look at me, I got off Ling Xin's back, walked up to Qingya, and held her arms with both hands:

"I've never felt like this, as if my heart would die without you, I think of you when I'm at sea, I think of you when I'm dying, I think of you when I live in another village..."

"Dying?" Qingya interrupted me, looked at me with a frown, raised her right arm, and gently rested her right hand on my face.

"It doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that God let me know that I can't do without you. I was too selfish before, I always weighed the pros and cons between you and the captain, trying to get the best for myself, but I should be responsible for both you and the captain. I paused, watching Qingya's eyes slowly shimmer, and the euphemistic moonlight encompassed the whole night scene in a deep eyewave. At the place of that pupil, I stood silently, and looked at her affectionately.

"I will come back to you, even if the captain lives for more than a hundred years, I will look for you before you are old, at least I will give you a final explanation, if you want, wait for me."

The evening breeze lifted her long and elegant intoxicating hair, caressing the mist and snorting softly, and then nodded.

Ling Xin sighed from the side, walked over and patted me on the shoulder, I smiled at him and shook my head.

"That's... Then I'm gone. I looked at Qingya again and whispered. She kept staring at me, as if she was afraid of missing this last scene, and wanted to etch me deeply in her mind. I also looked at her reluctantly, and smiled at her as I walked towards the beach, but my eyes slowly moistened. Ling Xin still put his arm around my shoulder, but this time it was different, he didn't say a word, just smiled and looked ahead, the dark blue sea, the flickering candles in the distance. I knew that this farewell might not be able to say goodbye, and even if I had an opinion about her, God might not be able to do it, so we turned around three times and gradually disappeared into the dark night.

"Hey!"

Qingya's voice was distant and long, and I quickly turned my head to look at her small figure in the distance.

"What flowers do you like?"

......

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I was like a child, completely struck down by this sentence without warning, and I crouched on the ground, muffled and wept. I don't know when I became so vulnerable, the man who had said he wouldn't be crushed by anything, was made to cry just because of a few words. The whole world turned black until Ling Xin picked me up and walked towards the deep blue sea again. I didn't dare to look back after all, I was afraid that she would come with me again, I was afraid that I would involuntarily hug her. It wasn't until I sat in the boat that I dared to turn back, Qingya had long since disappeared, and maybe she was afraid that she would not be able to help but do something impulsive. I raised my head, trying not to let the tears flow out again, and then sighed deeply, Ling Xin gently patted me on the shoulder:

"I don't know why you chose to do so, but I support your decision."
