Qing Ya holds a special place in Fang Ze's life.
In his two lifetimes, Fang Ze has truly never encountered someone like her, who gives selflessly without seeking anything in return, harbors no ulterior motives, and offers such dedication merely because he once was her student.
When in Emerald City, Fang Ze became the director of the Security Bureau and suggested promoting Qing Ya or transferring her to a different department, but Qing Ya refused. When Fang Ze was promoted to the Provincial Government, he again proposed moving Qing Ya there for a position, but Qing Ya declined once more, saying she only wanted to teach.
This unreciprocated, placid manner of interaction caused Fang Ze to harbor deep respect for Qing Ya, and this respect did not diminish with the growing gap between them but was instead deeply embedded in Fang Ze's heart.
