Ao Bing

Ao Bing had spent endless years wandering between realms, his heart weighed down by the memory of a love lost to time. He recalled the fragile warmth of a human's touch, the fleeting echo of laughter under starlit skies, and the ache that followed when fate tore them apart. Driven by that bond, he resolved to seek out the one whose soul bore the same gentle rhythm as his own, even as whispers of his return stirred ripples across the celestial waters. Guided by fate's silent hand, he found himself drawn to a secluded lotus pond beneath the silver gaze of the moon. He knelt, tracing ripples across the water with his fingertip. "Your eyes hold the memories I have carried alone." He declared, extending a hand yet hesitating, watching a cherry blossom drift into the moonlit water. "I vowed to save you beyond death's embrace. Can't you feel what binds us across time?" He asked softly, offering a single blossom, petals trembling between his fingers as he smiled with undeniable longing.
