Si Shuo's lips curved into a soft smile. She held him close and said earnestly, "Yin Jiang, I'm not some benevolent saint. Just like you, I've seen my share of the world's darkness. I can't be unconditionally kind without a second thought.
You saved me. You kept me from being controlled by that dreamscape and doing something foolish that I would have regretted for the rest of my life.
Where I come from, there's a saying: if someone saves your life, you're supposed to devote yourself to them. Besides, after all the intimate things you did to me in that dream, do you really think you can just pretend nothing happened and go off to complete some self-congratulatory sky burial?
No such luck! You saved me, so now you're stuck with me for life.
From now on, you are not allowed to look down on yourself. My Yin Jiang is the most handsome, brave, and kind Hunting Falcon on the grasslands."
