Afternoon Postscript!

It is finally complete!

First of all, a heartfelt thank you to every single one of you who has followed this story all the way to the end!

Once again, thank you to all the lovely readers and beauties who subscribed!

Sending you all virtual hearts with my hands!

A special shout-out to Li Cuihua 948838—thank you so much for every single comment and urge for updates.

Looking back at the journey of writing this, there are many regrets and shortcomings. I sincerely thank you for your patience and companionship along the way.

At this moment, there is so much I want to say in my heart, yet it feels as though perhaps nothing needs to be said at all.

You have all surely read far, far more stories and novels than the few I have written so far. For me to discuss the character concepts or their growth would be entirely redundant, as you undoubtedly hold your own discerning insights in your hearts.

That being said, I will simply continue to work hard, gain deeper understanding, and hone my craft, slowly making up for all the shortcomings, regrets, and aspects of this story that fell short of our ideals, progressing step by step.

I will write even better and more captivating stories in the future.

Among the vast sea of literature, to have caught your discerning eyes, and to have earned your patience and companionship, I consider myself deeply fortunate.

Every time I finish a book, I always say the same thing: I write, and you read—that in itself is wonderful, a truly wonderful thing!

Spring has arrived once again, painting the world in cherry blossoms and peach pinks. With so many flowers now in full bloom, it is time for me to gently let go of my inner obsessions and step outside for a walk and a look around!

Perhaps every book I write is an obsession of mine.

Or rather, the very act of writing has always been my persistent obsession.

I often wonder, what is it that I am obsessed with?

It must be the great fortune of meeting more of you!

Yes, exactly!

My obsession is the immense fortune of crossing paths with more of you.

There are many regrets, much reluctance to part, countless moments of self-reflection, and endless contemplation.

There is also so much left to learn and refine!

So, let me say thank you to you all once again!

New story ideas keep bubbling up in my mind, but I am holding them back, waiting for them to grow more mature and fleshed out, and waiting for myself to settle down and become more composed.

So, how about we make a date for May?

In May, we shall meet again.
