Han Yan fell quiet for a moment, his gaze drifting towards the moonlit courtyard as he gathered his thoughts.
"Sometimes, I do. There are things I remember and people I can no longer see. I still wonder how they're doing and whether I'll ever get the chance to see them again."
He paused briefly before continuing, his expression growing softer.
"But I've also built a life here. I've met good people along the way. Dong Hai, Wei Jun, Lui De, and even that silly kid, Wei Fan. They've all become people I care about. I never expected to find such warmth in a place so different from the world I came from, but I'm glad I did."
His gaze returned to Lin Xin, and a tender smile slowly spread across his face.
"And now, I have you."
He gently took Lin Xin's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"So even though there are times when I miss my old world, I don't regret coming here. There's so much I've found worth cherishing."
