The Mix of Water and Flames (1)

When things quieted down inside the hospital room with only the soft snores of Chunhua that lay dreaming and with the transmitter from the Heavens finally silenced… Li Yang worked up the courage to approach the sleeping woman.

He didn't do it right away when he arrived.

Maybe they were excuses. Perhaps they weren't. But above all things, Li Yang wanted to make sure that Chunhua was fine and healthy. 

He was never really a father, and Li Yang didn't think that there was an innate sense of connection that one had when they automatically became a father—but when he saw Chunhua, she was the only thing that mattered at that moment.

It was a conscious decision on his part.

Li Yang didn't want to think of himself as robotic, but whenever emotions sprang up high… his first instinct was always to keep his own emotions in control. No good would come out if both people were both controlled and relying solely on emotions.
