The final chapter: the two lovers stay together and return home (the finale)
After arriving on the island, Yin Yin rediscovered her former happiness. Apart from the fact that things and people had changed, everything was still so beautiful, especially with her beloved one always by her side.
Every time she woke up from a dream, or to be more precise, woke up with a start, Yin Yin would subconsciously call out the name of the person she had spent her whole life loving, no matter if it was day or night, until that person responded to her, and then she would either wake up or fall asleep again, over and over again, without interruption. At first, because of "White Snow Lotus", Yin Yin could still stay more or less awake, but that was only for the first few days. In the following days, Yin Yin was mostly in a coma, and when she was awake, she would always be inseparable from Zhao Ziheng, and they would walk through the places where they had left beautiful memories one by one.
However, Zhao Ziheng's situation was not much better than Yin Yin's. Even though his dual souls were under control, his condition was deteriorating due to the strong backlash of the medicine he had taken and the scars that had not healed for a long time. The only thing that was better than Yin Yin was that he could stay awake with his own consciousness.
Wang Ye, Xue Han and others were completely helpless as they watched Yin Yin and Zhao Ziheng gradually weaken. The happiness on their faces was their only comfort. However, everyone knew very well that they had entered the last journey of their lives and no one knew when they would leave. They just wanted to accompany them for the last time.
Not long after, the State of Zhao announced the death of Zhao Ziheng, and Zhao Ziyin, who was personally designated by Zhao Ziheng, inherited the throne. When the news of Zhao Ziheng's death spread, the entire State of Zhao and countless people in the world mourned deeply. The death of a wise monarch was a great loss, not only to the State of Zhao but also to the world. The post-war recovery of the State of Zhou was proceeding rapidly under the guidance of Zhou Cheng. On behalf of the State of Zhou, Zhou Cheng signed a permanent peace agreement with the new King of Zhao. When the two countries reached a consensus, the whole world regained its former peace, and those individual restless small countries gradually calmed down under the strength of the two countries.
On the first snowy day, Yin Yin passed away and fell into eternal sleep. Before she left, she performed one last beautiful dance in the snow, which amazed the audience. At the end of the dance, Yin Yin fell into Zhao Ziheng's arms. She left in her lover's arms without any pain, and from the look on her face when she left, it was not difficult to tell that she was happy when she left.
Wang Ye, Xue Han, and Gui Sha all felt helpless and unwilling to see Yin Yin leave. In the past, no matter who they were, they could easily save countless people, but they could not save a life that they had worked so hard for. Even though they had medical skills that many people admired and envied, they could not even save the person they wanted to save the most. So what was the point of having so much? Compared to them, Zhao Ziheng's reaction was much calmer.
"What are your plans for the future?" Unlike anyone else, even though Feng Qinghan was deeply saddened by Yin Yin's death, he still understood the fact that 'the dead cannot be resurrected'. Moreover, even he was so sad, so what was Zhao Ziheng's mood like? That's why he couldn't help but ask.
This question expressed the thoughts of everyone, except Wang Ye.
"Where she is." Zhao Ziheng answered slowly. Neither his tone nor his expression showed any sadness due to the departure of his lover. On the contrary, there was only deep affection as gentle as water. He just stared at the person sleeping forever in his arms, even more gently than usual, as if he was afraid of waking the sleeping person up?
For a moment, Zhao Ziheng's words made everyone silent. Perhaps they had already guessed the answer from his words but just couldn't say it out loud.
Once upon a time, Xue Han, Gui Sha, Shan Zhen and others did not understand what was so special about the person Yin Yin loved that was worthy of her love. However, during the short time they spent together, they all agreed that only Zhao Ziheng was worthy of Yin Yin. They were all sad for Yin Yin's death, but also sad for Zhao Ziheng. The reason was self-evident. After all, why explain something that they could see with their own eyes?
Zhao Ziheng picked up the sleeping person, his eyes still lingering on the face of the sleeping person, reluctant to move his eyes away from the lifelike face that seemed to be sleeping, lowered his head slightly and placed a passionate kiss on the smooth and somewhat cold forehead, and left after a long time, saying softly: "Don't leave too fast, wait for me."
After he finished speaking, Zhao Ziheng walked away slowly, ignoring everyone present, and just walked towards his destination. No one stopped him, and no one would stop him. He punched the snow with a heavy punch. The ghost knelt on one knee and smashed a shallow groove in the snow with his right fist, with a look of unwillingness and hatred on his face.
"Is this the only result we get after doing so much?" He angrily vented his inner resentment, but had no choice but to face it. The pain suppressed in his heart made Guisha feel for the first time that speaking was so difficult.
How can anyone with this kind of feeling know that a ghost is killing a person? Everyone feels the same way in their hearts, but they just don't say it out loud.
After a long time, when Zhao Ziheng's figure disappeared from everyone's sight, Wang Ye's voice was heard: "When she woke up from her long sleep for the first time, she was destined to have such an ending, just like everyone will die, but her ending was already predetermined. You know, it is a miracle that she can wake up from that state, and because of this, her body has been on the verge of collapse. The reason why she can hold on until now is even more of a miracle, which includes her own beliefs, and the dedication and efforts of everyone around her."
Everyone was silent. Wang Ye's words were concise yet detailed. They felt nothing except the injustice of life. They all looked woodenly at the place where Zhao Ziheng and Yin Yin disappeared last...
A burning house is particularly eye-catching in the snow. Snowflakes melt in the air before they fall. Some people say that rain is the weeping of God, but what about snow? It is because it is a combination of sadness, making people feel cold and wet!
Two people who came to this world from another world, after experiencing countless hardships, finally came together!
Death is not the end, it is also the beginning of a new relationship!
Lovers depend on each other and will always be together! I believe that true lovers, no matter they travel through time and space, or are reborn again, they will still come together because of the bond of fate!
