At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"
Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it."
"Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.
Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?
She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."
Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.
They hugged.
"Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."
Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."
They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…
"He's gone," said Stefan.
Tears kept falling.
They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.
She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?"
Stefan shut his eyes in pain. "Both."
…
Three months later, a grand multiple-couple wedding was held in Banyan City.
