The things I want to say, I dare not say; the questions I want to ask, I dare not ask. This is Ah Lian. If not for her status, if not for these concerns, she truly wishes she could muster the courage to ask the young master what he truly thinks.
Why, if love is so painful, do we persist in loving? For someone as outstanding as the young master, finding a woman should be easy, yet why is he captivated by just this one person?
Clearly, loving like this only brings him suffering, yet he remains resolute and unchanged.
And why can't he... let go?
Why can't he release his grip?
Just one step back, and the sky would be wide open, allowing the young master himself much more ease.
But why... why doesn't he?
Ah Lian took a deep breath, as if trying to bury these thoughts deep inside her heart. No matter what she thinks inwardly, in front of the young master, she can only ever be his most loyal and capable subordinate, always... just this.
