35.The Future Awaits
With the strength of their friendship and the legacy of their families behind them, Qicheng and Yingying looked to the future with hope and determination.
They knew that life would continue to bring challenges, but they were ready to face them together.
As they sat under the cherry blossom tree, watching the petals fall around them, they made a promise to each other.
'No matter where life took them, they would always support each other and stay true to their vision.'
"To the future," Qicheng said, raising an imaginary glass.
"To the future," Yingying echoed, smiling.
And so, the first volume of their story came to an end, not with a finality, but with the promise of new beginnings and adventures yet to come. Flirting with fate had brought them together, and together, they would face whatever came next, knowing that their bond was unbreakable.
