Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 126: Confession
King Jingyin was on the verge of death after being poisoned. After waking up, he was frightened by a dart again. This time he was truly alive again when he woke up. He felt as if he was in another world. After escaping death, he seemed to have a clear understanding of many things all of a sudden. He had never been able to face the feelings deep in his heart that had been deposited for too long before, but now he dared to face them. If someone had asked him like Zhao Lin in the past, he would have been furious, but now it was different. Not only did he not resist talking to others, but he was happy to talk. Perhaps it was because those things had been suppressed in his heart for too long, and when he was finally able to open his heart, he immediately had the need to talk. So he said leisurely: "I once disrupted the life of a woman who should have been happy because she looked a bit like my old friend, and at the same time ruined the future of a man who was loyal to the Kingdom of Jingyin."

"Oh?" Zhao Lin was extremely surprised by his father's reaction. He did not expect his father to answer this question so calmly. He had been prepared to be scolded, but now he was completely relieved. He continued to ask, "What happened to those two people later?"

"Later, I didn't know where she and he went, whether they were alive or dead. If they were still alive, I really hoped that they would have regained the happiness that I ended; if they had already passed away, I could only pray that they could decide their own lives in another world without being interfered with by powerful forces." King Jingyin's tone gradually became heavy: "Some things are wrong once they are done wrong, and they are forever wrong. Even if you sincerely repent, there is no chance to correct it; some happiness, once broken, the scattered fragments can never be put together again even if you pick them up; some years that people can remember for a lifetime, once ended by someone and come to an end, even if you want to start over, you can't find another starting point. I am the one who did the wrong thing, the one who broke other people's happiness, the one who ended the years that others can remember for a lifetime."

"Father, please stop talking about yourself like that!" Zhao Lin said, "Is it that Miss Yin once again made you feel as if you were seeing your old friend?"

"Well. When I saw that Miss Yin was a bit like that old friend, I almost made the same mistake again. When I was unconscious, I was on the verge of life and death, and I had many dreams about the past. After waking up, I seemed to have realized something. Life is short, time should not be wasted, everyone is born unique, no one in this world is born to be another person's shadow, and use their short and precious years to satisfy the absurd emotional needs of a powerful man and fill the deep pit in his heart." King Jingyin sighed.

"Does Miss Yin look very similar to your old friend?" Zhao Lin asked curiously when he saw that his father was not angry at all.

"I felt they were very similar before, but now I understand that the degree of similarity I see is actually closely related to my state of mind. Since I realized something, the Miss Yin I see is very different from what I saw before. Now I see more differences between Miss Yin and my old friend. Now I understand very well that Miss Yin is Miss Yin, and she will always be herself."
