( just another bullet point to his list of crimes dw about it )
No. He enjoys your company and your friendship. But for all of Yingxing's confidence, his heart is as fragile as any other. If you'd find yourself unhappy to have your feelings unrequited, then why wouldn't the same apply to him?
I have no desire to dissuade you from what you believe are Yingxing's feelings. You are wiser and older than we are, and your beliefs, I'm certain, are rooted in tangible experiences. But should you be mistaken by your assumptions, it is not you who will be hurt.
There are those who say to be hurt is to live. It is an experience everyone goes through. But let me ask you, instead. What are you so scared is going to happen? That you will ruin your friendship with him? With me?
Physical wounds and emotional wounds are far different. Besides, fine. Use war as argument, if you wish. Then the fact we are long-lived species matter little. We've watched others like us die far before their time. Is that alone not enough reason to pursue what we can while we still breathe each and every time we return from the battlefield?
I've seen how deep the grief of those who lost their loved ones in the war run. I've seen many succumb to mara as a result of being left behind. There's no guarantee, but my silence may keep me from leaving a curse in the wake of my untimely passing. So allow me to carry these regrets to my grave, Dan Feng.
