Extra Story Two: A Love Tale (4,000 words, two in one, an additional update for the Moe Lord Ling Yan Zhi Rui)

Generally speaking, love is a luxury.

It is not like private jets, personal bodyguards, or grand balls, luxuries that cost you tangible wealth. It drains your energy, your wisdom, and even your life—what it costs is your intangible wealth.

Moreover, like those luxuries that drain your tangible wealth, it continuously consumes your riches. If you reduce your investment in this area for some time, this luxury called love will fade rapidly, even faster than your genuine leather coat would decay.

Of course, this luxury can also be like well-aged wine, the longer it is allowed to settle, the more delicious and appetizing the fermented flavor becomes.

Most people, for their entire lives, consume their intangible wealth to exchange for that pitiful tangible wealth, in order to maintain their existence in this world. Only those who do not need to expend too much intangible wealth are able to pile up this expensive consumable with romance and time.
