"Thank you, Aunt," Nezha said cautiously as he took a sip of tea, unable to suppress the question that lingered in his mind. "Aunt, you mentioned wanting to talk to me about Ao Bing..."
Aunt Taiyi set down her teacup and looked at Nezha meaningfully. "Little Nezha, you and Ao Bing are not just ordinary friends, are you?"
Nezha's heart tightened suddenly, and he nearly dropped his teacup. He had never mentioned his feelings for Ao Bing to anyone; how could Aunt Taiyi know?
"I... We..." Nezha stammered, unsure of how to respond.
Aunt Taiyi smiled kindly. "Don't be nervous. I've seen all sorts of things in my time. It's perfectly normal for two young people to have feelings for each other. But there seem to be some obstacles between you, right?"
Taking a deep breath, Nezha decided not to hide anymore. "Yes, Aunt. Ao Bing... he has gone home and might not return for a long time. There are too many differences and difficulties between us."
"Is it because of his identity as the Dragon Prince?" Aunt Taiyi asked softly, her tone devoid of surprise, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world.
Nezha's eyes widened in shock, nearly jumping out of his chair. "Aunt, how do you know?!"
Aunt Taiyi smiled without answering, simply pouring Nezha another cup of tea. "Little Nezha, I've worked at this school for many years and have seen all kinds of students. Some things don’t need to be explicitly stated; they can be understood just by observing."
Nezha was skeptical but had to reconsider this seemingly ordinary Dormitory Office aunt who knew that Ao Bing was the Dragon Prince.
"Then... do you know how Ao Bing is doing now?" Nezha couldn't help but ask, his voice tinged with uncontainable hope.
Aunt Taiyi shook her head. "I don't know the specifics, but I can sense that the boy misses you very much, just as you miss him."
Nezha felt a warmth in his heart; even if it was just a vague sensation, it was enough to bring him some comfort.
"Aunt, do you think we still have a chance?" Nezha asked softly, his voice filled with uncertainty and anxiety. "The Dragon Tribe and humans are so different. Is it really possible for us to be together?"
Aunt Taiyi set down her teacup and looked at Nezha seriously. "Little Nezha, do you know why there are so many stories about the love between the Dragon Tribe and humans?"
Nezha shook his head, not understanding Aunt Taiyi's meaning.
"Because it's not just possible; it has happened countless times," Aunt Taiyi explained. "Throughout history, many Dragons and humans have fallen in love. Some have separated, some have persevered, and others... have found ways to coexist."
"Coexistence?" Nezha's eyes brightened. "What kind of ways?"
Aunt Taiyi smiled knowingly. "That depends on individual choices. Some Dragons give up their identities to stay among humans; some humans follow their loved ones into the Dragon Palace; and others create a third path, finding balance between the two worlds. No matter which way it is, it requires courage, wisdom, and perseverance."
Nezha pondered Aunt Taiyi's words, feeling a sense of relief from the pressure in his heart. It turned out that he and Ao Bing were not alone; before them, countless pairs of Dragon People lovers had faced similar dilemmas, and some had found solutions. This realization reignited his hope.
"Thank you, Aunt," Nezha said sincerely. "Your words have shown me hope. But now the problem is that Ao Bing is not here, and I don't even know how to contact him."
Aunt Taiyi smiled mysteriously. "Fate has its own arrangements. Perhaps he is closer than you think."
