Chapter Forty Seven

Duan Base, 1 year ago...

Li Chen was depressed, he couldn't deny it. Given everything that had happened two years ago, he found it hard to look into the mirror, he found it hard to get out of his bed every morning and his self hatred grew. He felt so ashamed of himself and he felt like a coward every single day.

But there she was, like a bright light in a thick fog.

Chesa was always there, she tried her best to be, at every training session during the day or every night before they both went to bed.

Li Chen found himself wanting more, wanting to always be in her presence. He knew what those feelings were but he never did admit it to himself.

Both of them had made it a habit to go up that hill every night. It had become something usual for the both of them.

Being the only person who knew his secret, Li Chen always felt more safe and relaxed around Chesa and could only be his real self around her.
