A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 910 Regret and Stirring Feelings

Ye Fan shook his head and stopped thinking about Suzumiya Eigetsu.

He and Suzumiya Eigetsu barely knew each other after all.

After parting ways today, they would probably never see each other again.

So there was no sense in thinking about this so much.

However, Ye Fan noticed a notebook sitting on the table when he tidied it up.

It had a pink cover with cute cartoons on it and looked very girly.

"She probably left it behind."

Ye Fan smiled before flipping through casually.

15th April (Cloudy)

It's my first day with Master. We headed back to Japan. Sadly, the weather was

terrible.

Master is very good to Miss Qiu and treasures everything she buys him a lot.

I am so envious of her.

Wouldn't it be great if I could find someone like Master one day?

But I probably won't be able to get to experience that.

16th April (Sunny)

It would probably be very dangerous to take Master to Sword Shrine.

My teacher and the others have probably prepared an ambush, and Master would be in grave danger.

Should I tell him about it?

But if I do, I would be betraying my teacher.

Sigh!

This is such a headache.

I will make him go sightseeing with me first and do my best to hold things up.

I am so happy today.

I didn't know there were so many fun things that I could do in Tokyo.

Why didn't I feel this way in the past?

Is it because Master was with me?

I don't want to think too much about this anymore. I should focus on figuring out where to go this afternoon.

Oh yes. I want to see cherry blossoms, the Tokyo Skytree, and the ocean. Then we can watch a movie at night.

I wonder how it would feel to stand at the highest tower in Tokyo with Master?

It would probably be an absolute delight.

Then I would certainly have no regret in life, right?

I'm so looking forward to it.

Also, he asked me about the red cord on my wrist.

It's actually a three-lifetimes cord.

My mother said that I have to give it to the man I love one day so that I can be with him for three lifetimes.

Mum, I think I have encountered the young man whom I am willing to do anything for.

17th April (Sunny)

We are going to Sword Shrine tomorrow. It is finally time for us to part ways.

I wish time could stop so that I can be with Master forever.

Sadly, it is just wishful thinking on my part.

Master offered to spend one more day with me today.

At that moment, I nearly nodded. However, I know I can't do it.

I am just a tiny person who is about to leave the world soon. How can I hold him up because of me?

I'm so sad that I didn't get to do all the other stuff I wanted in the end.

Master, do you know?

Since I was a child, I fantasized about looking at the sunset, going mountain climbing, watching movies, and visiting the Tokyo Skytree with a boy I love. I want to stand close to the heavens and experience all these lovely things.

I thought they were nothing but mere dreams that would never come true.

But the moment you appeared, I realized

these wishes could come true too.

However, I don't think I will ever get to fulfill my other dreams.

In one more hour, it would be daybreak.

Everything would come to an end, right?

But I really don't want to leave you and go.

I have so many things that I want to do with you.

I want to watch movies, visit the Tokyo Skytree, see the ocean...

There were many more entries. Ye Fan read them bit by bit. In the end, he noticed some of the writing was blurry as though tears had fallen on those pages.

At that moment, Ye Fan could envision her crying as she wrote her diary entries.

Ye Fan finally realized how many things this sensible young woman was hiding

from him.

She could have told him about it and begged him to spend a few more days with her. Instead, she brought him to Sword Shrine with all this regret in her heart.

She didn't want Ye Fan to waste any more time.

She knew it was not his job to keep her company.

She was just Ye Fan's slave whom no one cared about and was about to die.

Even then, she did her best to be good to Ye Fan and helped him.

She didn't know how to cook, so she prepared warm milk instead.

She had never done laundry before ever. However, she secretly got up at night while Ye Fan was asleep to clean the pajamas she had soiled with milk.

She was born in Japan and was Sword Shrine's disciple, but she disregarded her status and the outrage it would cost her and gave Ye Fan the yasakani jade. Even though she was meek, she was willing to put her life at risk to force Susa Mikoto to stop hunting Ye Fan and made him swear to let Ye Fan go home. Suzumiya Eigetsu didn't mind that Ye Fan knew nothing about this.

Love was about doing things without asking for anything in return.

She only wanted to be with him, do things for him, and be good to him at all costs even if he never found out about it.

All she cared about was his well-being.

The sky was dark, and there was a light breeze.

Ye Fan stood where he was in shock.

The notebook lay quietly on the table while the three-lifetimes cord swayed in the wind in his hand.

The red cord was a promise to be together for three lifetimes.

For a moment, Ye Fan could feel his heart splitting open as a sourness spilled out from the inside.

He raised his head to look around.

He could almost see the silly young woman bringing him warm milk and calling him master with her sweet voice.

"Master, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it!" she apologized as she wiped the milk off Ye Fan.

"Master, look at those dolphins! They are so adorable! I heard pandas are super cute too. Can we go see pandas one day?"

"I'm too exhausted to go on, Master. Let's take a break before we go to Sensoji Temple."

"Master, did you know that cherry blossoms represent love? It must be the happiest thing to see cherry blossoms with someone you love, right?"

All the things they did played back in Ye Fan's head like a movie.

Everything felt both real and surreal at the same time.

It felt as though Suzumiya Eigetsu had never once left him.

Her intoxicating face, perfect figure, melodious laughter down to her every gesture seemed like a gift from nature.

HUUU!

The cold wind suddenly blew in from the

window.

Ye Fan suddenly shivered.

But when he turned back to look, there was no one except dim light flickering outside.

The mesmerizing girl was nowhere to be seen, her sweet voice couldn't be heard, and no one was calling him 'master' with that sweet voice.

Outside the window, only the moon glowed softly as images of those familiar sights ran through his head quietly.

Her laughter and the warmth of her hand would never be heard or felt again.

All of this would just become part of the past...
