Chapter 2 The Leaving River and the Fading Flower won’t Wander Longer.

Constandi Officium is dressed in deep clothes(See note 1) today, sitting with his cousin inside the ting(See note 2), outside which the clan's retinues are leading horses and waiting for the young master's orders. He confront to the southwest, spreading an official road from that direction, and running behind him until PausaHulni City, after ten Figa (note 3).

From time to time, there were passers-by on the official road. Occasionally people wanted to rest in the ting and see the appearance of this group, even if there was still a place in the ting, they did not dare to come.

Of course, these passers-by do not cognize the short youth who has light black skin in the ting. But just see the powerful retinues around the ting and their clothes, they know that this group of people is not suitable for civilian approach. If someone leaving the city could recognize Constandi's face, he would definitely look away after being startled, leaving only one question in his heart:

The city director(note 4) who is managing the whole PausaHulni why did stay in this long distance ting for a long time?

Then hurry on, dare not look again.

-

Constandi could feel those evasive eyes, but fussing over this undermines an official's dignity, and he was too upset to mind them. Perhaps about a year of official life changed him, if in the past, even if not put into action, Constandi will also find something —— is mainly people —— to vent his irritability and depression. But at this time he did not at all, for more than an time-shock(note 5) he sat in this impatient wait, in silence.

Now near noon, the shadow shrinked, gradually enveloped the whole ting, the weather warming and the ting more cool. Constandi irritability gradually cooled into disappointment, no one hopes to waste the wonderful and precious morning of the dayoff in the hopeless waiting.

Before disappointment solidified into despair, a wisp dust like smoke raised the junction between the road and the horizon.

As an official, Constandi eyesight was far better than ordinary people (note 6), so he saw the wisp of dust rising from the end of the horizon earlier than his retinues. It represents someone or a team of people riding their horses, walking along the road, and approaching it quickly here.

Constandi knew very well what the dust smoke meant, and who it meant.

In the Galaxium Empire, horses were a luxury item. A preeminent horse is not tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of money (note 7) can not be taken down, usual civilians can't afford to buy. Subsequent domestication, feeding and equestrian learning require more money. In addition, from the point of dust smoke, there should be several rider rather than only one. if not the messenger sent by the government, it should be a rebellious noble with his retinues.

There are not many people who dare to waste horse’s power on the official road, even many of them were bold and unscrupulous are retinues.

Constandi just happened to know so a bold and wanton noble. A few days ago, a servant of his house happen through PausaHulni, visit Constandi and told Constandi that Constandi’s old friend back to ConfluAna to pay his elders respects. When he has fulfilled his obligations, he will going to go out to visit friends, this short notice be in lieu of the visit card(note 8) to Constandi.

The respectful clan servant is naturally "by the way" to help his young master, also did not agree a specific date, as if the one just planned to wander around, if there is an old friend to visit here, no plan, no appoint, so there was no need to greet him.

Unfortunately, that's not what the right.

Because was different from the other friends of the man, Constandi was an official.

Officials of the Galaxium Empire could take two days off every five days, and had to stay in the government all day on weekdays. Without leave for special circumstances, the time was very limited. The man could not come to PausaHulni wait for Constandi's work to end, even arrive for the night before is impossible. For that kind of waiting was damage his arrogance in meeting of his friends.

So he will certainly visit in dayoff, and most likely is the first day to disturb Constandi's rest.

Of course, Constandi could choose not to welcome him. In fact, it was not entirely appropriate to welcome. It is an expression of friendship to of welcome the friends, out of town is also a strong expression,but as an official, it is not appropriate to do so. Besides, he was not going out, he was going out of town to welcome, and it was all the more inappropriate because of the ceremonious.

If the visitor is higher than his official position, this behavior is tantamount to flattery, and a lower or equal official position, then it is demeaning.

But the truth is that the man was not an official.

This statement is not appropriate. To be precise, the person is still an official, but he was suspended from work for encounter sorrow (note 9) nearly three years ago after the death of his mother. But even so, this situation is also very embarrassing, so Constandi's behavior to greet the city can be called inappropriate.

Even if the man's clan made him born more proud than many officials.

Constandi knew all this, all this bad, and the consequences it might bring. But he came anyway and did so.

There were too many changes in the time they hadn't seen in three years. In the eyes of outsiders, Constandi was a young upstart who took up an important position as an adult. In addition, with the support of clan, the future was unlimited. But what about the reality? Only he knew how bad his situation was.

So Constandi chose to express humility to his "old friend" in the lowest gesture he was implied and allowed. This behavior will hurt his reputation and make some onlookers think he is flattering, but it can be glossed by the friendship of his old friend. In contrast, if the old friend ignored Constandi's "enthusiasm", the followers who had gathered as friends would feel that the three years of self-imprisonment made him arrogant and cold.

In this era, information exchange can only rely on letters and word of mouth, so all information transmission is very slow. But because of this, there is very little information worth spreading in each circle. So in this Galaxium Empire, how slowly ordinary information spreads, how fast valuable information spreads.

Constandi's friend, the son of the Roubavior clan, left his hometown and returned to ConfluentemAna, which was undoubtedly one of the most discussed topics in the circle of Intellectuals in the center of the Galaxium Empire. So all things about his return trip will be attented, such as the upcoming, the Officium young master to him too hospitable welcome. Constandi was confident that the man's visit would benefit him, a poor man who had been kick upstairs and had to leave the imperial capital.

In fact, since that person is willing to take the initiative to visit, on behalf of him, he is sure to help his old friend. After all, Constandi's status was not yet to the height where the man had to visit him once. If the guy did not want to infect Constandi’s bad luck, he would not come here. His visit had a sense of accept and kindness. What Constandi wanted to do about flattery and coerce was just holding his hands when accepting the kindness from the other side.

So, the two sides of the upcoming meeting, even with a little arrogance or calculation, all know each other's dirty mind, and still have a certain true friendship with each other on the basis of understanding all this. Roubavior's concern for Constandi Officium, Constandi's gratitude to the Roubavior, and their friendship are all muddy but true.

However, when Constandi saw the small dust smoke rising representing the arrival of his old friend on the horizon, as his heart disappointment slowly dissipated, another unbearable mood —— irritability rose, in the position where the disappointment dissipated.

Negative emotions don't dissipate, and if you feel like you don't detect them, don't relax, it's just that they become another gesture that suits you.

The visitor, Successor Roubavior, was one of Constandi's most important friends.

Constandi liked him, worshipped him, respected him, regarded his friendship as a honor. But in addition, he also has aversion, jealousy and fear what was equivalent to above positive emotional. He did not even admit that he regarded his best friend as the most can’t coexist enemy.

Constandi was waiting Successor with expectation , at least in the past over a time-shock or more, no doubt. But now the expectation is like a fog dissipated in the sun. The anxiety burned the organs of his body. The pain slowly expanded, with the rise of the sun, with the arrival of friends.

As the dust approached, the horse, the rider on its back, and the shape of the same followers behind him were all becoming clear. Constandi got up and walked out of the pavilion. When all his attendants did not fully react, he moved towards the rider to the front.

The rider slowed down, and he probably saw Constandi. The horse's pace changed from gallop to trot, and at last it stopped in front of Constandi.

The appearance of the rider—— Successor Roubavior ——as described in the last chapter has not too much changed in these days, except that he was wore clothes more suitable for riding. His handsome and gentle, being like wind, water or being refracted into less aggressive sunlight.

It was hard for the short, average-looking Constandi not to envy him about this. But in those years, as the understanding of this person deepened, Constandi had more and more jealousy and admiration for him, and the jealousy only for his appearance gradually disappeared. Until they met again today.

Constandi wanted to step forward and lead the reins to help Successor dismount. This is a very respectful behavior to give the other party, because too respectful and the difference between them is not worth it, so if the other party accepts the behavior, the other party is impolite. It is a few days ago in Superundar City from Aventer Kvihan bought meat Successor Roubavior naturally clear about this. So he rolled over, dismounted beautifully, and pulled the rein in his own hand. So everything here became harmonious, friendly and proper.

“It has been a long time since we last parted, my brother, are you all right so far?”

"All right, take on your blessing, 'Virtuous Chief'.”

Constandi understood it with a smile.

Virtuous Chief is the tutelar name he acquired when he reached the age of 20 (note 10). At that time, Successor in his hometown wear Mourning (note 11) and was unlikely to know.. By calling him by this name, Successor give concern and recognition t him.

Give him -- give Constandi the recognition that he's stepping out into the world as an adult. Recognition often mens respect.

"Bro, it's not close enough to call Constandi(note 12) that."Constandi smiled and shook his head." Wouldn't it be good to go back to the old days?”

The other party expressed his respect, while Constandi chose to respond with his closeness.

If one party is close to the other party and the latter replied with respect, the respect of the latter has a sense of refusal. But if the other way around, one side shows respect and the other shows closeness, the two exchanges will be relatively harmonious. This is the beauty of human relationships.

"I just think I should give a reasonable respect to the son of the Grand Narrator(note 13) who is already an official. Don't blame me, Little Liar." Successor waved his hand as sorry. At this time their respective entourage also came behind them.

Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

"Little liar" is Constandi's nickname. He was a cunning child in the childhood, and the accumulation of years did not make him learn the value of honesty. The nickname without no honor continued with his reputation. He is relatively tolerant of the nickname, not annoyed, even funny, so he doesn't mind being called so by his friends in private.

"How can it be."Constandi came riding, and now the horse was led by a servant. He and Successor successively turned over on the horse, came to the Constandi entourage are also so. It is etiquette to dismount the greeting and the receiving person, but it is too much a waste of time and physical strength to don’t use those horses to travel for the next ten figas.

The two groups were slightly different, but they seemed like a group. Slightly adjust the formation, Constandi and Successor in the front of the team led the team, Successor in the left Successor on the right, the speed slowed down, the direction is PausaHulni city.

"Well, I didn't expect you to start a career so soon." After greetings, Successor first opened a new words, tone faintly some unhappy, " I thought at least your father will stop you.”

"I don't think the stakes of this thing are that high." Constandi muttered.

He said this in a lower volume, in a lower pitch, with a slightly blurred pronunciation. But he did not want Successor not to hear him. He just expressed his attitude to tell his friend with this change of words: I recognize your preaching, and I know I did wrong.

Even if the actual content of the words is not consistent with it, Attitude, tone, and context often convey more messages than simple words. This is the fun of language and face-to-face communication.

"If you plan to go ahead as simply as the magnifico, it is nothing to be an official now.But the Constandi I knew probably had more ambition than that. And I don't feel that your heart and ambition have fallen to this point." Successor turned his head and did not see Constandi with a sneer. This contempt is rather impropriety, even impoliteness. But the contempt and ridicule in this action and words contained a recognition of his bearing, which could stabilize the friendship.

This statement had to make Constandi think about how to respond next. During the time when he waited for Successor in the ting, he had thought about the various topics and questions and answers, but it was still difficult to choose the right words when the real conversation begins. After hesitating for a while, he chose to hide something, using expression that was unlikely to offend Successor.

"Honestly, much of my ambition is lost now.”

"Your discourse does not match your age, or the man I know."

"After recognizing the reality, people will naturally mature faster." Constandi shook his head." Bro, do you know Bonionos Kuning, Suitable Man(Bonionos Kuning’s tutelar name), who is now the prime minister of the Abundantem Kingdom (note 14)?”

"The adopted son of the Arcaput(note15) of CrownArmy?" Successor’s smile liked sneer.

Constandi feeling some unhappy, even though he was well aware that the contempt was pointing to the man they discussed and his adoptive father. But he still could not help feeling slightly displeased, given the similarity between the identity of the person being discussed and that of his father. Just for the present and future goals, he can't show this unhappiness. At any time, to no one.

So he laughed before Successor realized what his face had changed: " Yes, the adopted son of the Arcaput of CrownArmy.”

"He is my referer.”

Successor's horse stopped, and Constandi also stopped it. Although the followers behind them did not dare to listen to the specific communication of the childes, they could only stop.

The atmosphere sank a little down for a moment. Successor's sneer froze. His handsome face was a little funny and stiff, making Constandi feel a little more interesting.

After it should be very short but everyone present felt that a long time had passed, Successor's sneer continued. After the stiffness, his smile became exaggerated, and his laughter became more and more wild. It was full of wild laughter, mixed disappointment and anger, and a little bit of bad pleasure. Since a long time ago, Constandi thought that Successor's smile was the most unaristocratic point, the most vulgar and the least flattering point. This bastard who performs elegance and luxury all the moment can only show his real emotions when he laughs loudly. Besides that, even his grief is hypocritical.And his laughter was really harsh.

If before, Constandi would have tried to silence Successor, but he's not going to do it now. Not because of begging, but he feel happy by Successor's disappointment and anger. Successor's laughter stopped. He looked at Constandi and said, " Ah, you had better tell me that Bonionos recommended you in order to Make an alliance with your father.”

"Bro, you know that is impossible. My father's power was not enough to show that one. And Bonionos is no more disdainful of such things like his father." Constandi shook his head.

In the Galaxium Empire, RBFC (Recommendation Based on Filial and Clean,note 16) was the most important means of talent selection. Senior officials qualified to RBFC can recommend a talent to the central government a year (those in less populated areas once every two or even three years).These talents are often in the reserve of senior officials, trained enough in middle-level positions to hold important central or local positions.

Therefore, this quota is extremely precious, the recommend will be regarded as a huge favor of the recommended, others and even officialdom will regard the recommended and the recommended as companions. This relationship was similar to that of teachers and students in the officialdom of the Galaxium Empire. One of the two is up or down, the otherone will get the same treatment, and vice versa.

Similarly, because this quota is extremely precious and valuable, so very few people take it to do human feelings. Even from the most selfish point of view, compared with recommending a guy who does not know the ability and character, let him and his own interests binding, it is absolutely more useful than recommending a long-term observation, can become their own and even descendants to help.

Moreover, Constandi did not even have the most basic qualification to be elected.He did not satisfy "over the age of forty", "twenty years of working experience" and several other claims about birth. referrer can only use the "ability to be superior" this reason to recommend, to bear and the risk is more than normal.

What in the world would make that person take such a risk and spend his precious chance spot recommending Constandi?

Constandi 's father, Hauhmont Officium, Lofty Giant, was a very high rank official is included Nine Secretary (note 17). There were few officials higher than him in the whole Galaxium Empire.Compared with Bonionos Kuning's position, "Prime minister of Abundantem Kingdom", is much higher. By rights, he was worthy of being fawned on. But Hauhmont Officium is only a good at making money —— not so legitimate kind of —— jerk. He was brought to this position entirely because of the favor of his adoptive father, the late great eunuch Risan Officium.

Risan Officium was once the most powerful eunuch of the Galaxium Empire, controlling the peration of policy for nearly 30 years. As a member of the generally poor reviews of the eunuchs, he even have maintained a relatively good reputation. Enough to see that this man is capable of something extraordinary. But he has died, more than a decade ago. For more than a decade, his adopted son and relatives tried to maintain their clan status and relationships, working well, but they failed to return to the past. Hauhmont Officium is indeed a senior official, and his clan is also very powerful, but it is not enough for Bonionos Kuning to take the initiative to make friends with the person he represents.

Bonionos Kuning's adoptive father, Fagerman Kuning the Arcaput of CrownArmy, is one of the two most powerful eunuchs at present.

Only the underdog left behind in this era wants to curry favor with the new talent, not the other way around.

And consider that both he and his foster father were extremely arrogant, to let them take the initiative to recommend even the normal qualifications are not Constandi, it is incredible.

If it is Hauhmont for the eldest son and take the initiative to curry favor and bribery with Bonionos, the possibility is more likely. But if that, Hauhmont became an unwise and myopic fool.

Successor was not familiar with his friend's father, but in his impression, that man was a greedy, shrewd, intelligent little old man, not stupid.

Hauhmont had relied on the relationship as the adopted son of the great eunuch. And now his eldest son become an official through the connections of another great eunuch, by a way that no one could doubt that it was not cheat. At a time when most eunuchs had the worst reputation, Hauhmont's conduct was blatant and brazen.

Of course, the strength with which many people reviled the eunuchs behind their backs was often equal to the strength with which they fawned on the eunuchs in front of them.

With Fagerman Kuning's power, his son can suppress the opposition voice and forced all this through. But as mentioned above, those risks and stress also exist. Now Fagerman is Bonionos's backer, his power like the sun in the middle of the day. His nephews and brothers are all over the country They served as officials in those places. The network formed by his confederate can easily catched those who oppose him and strangle them.

But he will die of old age, and his adopted sons and nephews will never succeed him. As most of the power comes from the emperor authorized the eunuch, once he died, attached to his interest groups are destined to be scattered because they can no longer connect the emperor.

Moreover, the downfall of the powerful eunuchs was not necessarily because of natural death. Rather, Risan Officium's natural death was less common among powerful eunuchs. There was too much dangerous possibility of possibility of destroying a powerful eunuch, such as the replacement of the throne, the political turmoil, or the sudden suspicion and concern of the emperor.

Once that day comes, Constandi and the Officiums must be liquidated as accomplices,and bear counterattack from Kuning’s enemy. At that time, Constandi 's RBFC must be an excellent weakness, a perfect omission, enough to make him doomed forever.

How could Hauhmont choose to do so? The father was not a genius, but it was not so incompetent —— Successor knew this.

And Constandi knew that Successor knew this.

"So it was your father voluntarily colluded with Fagerman Kuning." Seems that after thinking in the chaos for a long time, Successor finally woke up and looked at his friend thoughtfully, "And Fagerman chose to bind Officiums with his interests through Bonionos recommends you, just like a proton or evidence.”

Constandi nodded: " I have no room to refuse.”

Recommended can refuse RBFC. In the case of Constandi, it is rational to avoid taking the doomed path to avoid falling into the storm of accumulated risks. But avoiding danger comes at the cost of offending the referrer.

It would be too difficult to bear clan pressure on the basis of offending the referrer. The clan is the source of strength for these noble childes, the whole tree that nourishes these fruits, and the shackles that bind them.

Normally, Constandi 's fate should be an adult to work in local government, by their own efforts and clan relations get RBFC in about 40, and then step by step up, and finally climbed to the position of the minister in central government.

Now, the pressure to bear and the risks of binding to Kuning could crush his road at any time.

So sad. And all because of his father's determination, whether driven by ambition or greed.

As Constandi expected, Successor's face slightly produced a little pity. The weight of pity is just right, as in all of Successor's other actions. The pitied can feel the sympathy from Successor but do not feel hurt self-esteem. This pity in Constandi 's heart also roused the fog as thin shame and joy, he realized these wrong emotions, so he relegated them all to be led by the other mood——irritation.

But irritation was useless, so he tried to dispel the emotion: " Still, I think it is a chance.”

"A chance to die without a grave." Successor's face hung with sarcasm again. Constandi always thought that the second childe of the Roubavior clan really fit this expression.

He had an air of civility and ease, but in his heart he thought very little of anyone. His ridicule disguised as good will, his sickening laugh than his appearance his identity his words more can represent him, what is Successor.

> Constandi could not restrain the thought of this sentence in the Book of Rite and Rank(note 18). Perhaps these thoughts delayed his thoughts interrupted by a deep whinny before he spoke again.

The source of the whinny was cousin’s mount, who was on Constandi 's left. Turning a look, the boy also reacted, a little panic to calm his horse.

Constandi clearly saw the changes in his cousin's face and eye with their changes and revealed panic, that panic just replaced anger. The above situation means that he is reaction speed a pat slower than a normal person. And Constandi knew very well that the boy though prudent, was never slow.

Based on the above conditions, there are two reasoning resultss.

First, remind him his impoliteness that it wasn't the horse whinny, it was the look in my eyes.

Second, he had been staring at me and Successor with angry eyes before.

Constandi began to feel that he was having a headache and felt embarrassed for ignoring his cousin's mood. Of course, he can understand Successor's sarcastic friendliness and concern. But this young man is not familiar with Successor and even met for the first time not even introduced to know each other. It was difficult for him to accept some of the affronts in his successor's words. He might even see them as an insult.

He may understand the kindness in part of Successor's words.But as long as there is a sentence, a cooperative expression, a little atmosphere makes him feel that he feels the goodwill is an illusion, the young man's anger will be ignited.

It was a rage for the dignity of a cousin like a brother. No doubt of dangerous goods.

It is all the more dangerous if the carrier of that anger is a teenage thug who once killed for his teacher's dignity.

Constandi felt guilty as his head ached. As soon as the Successor appeared, Constandi was preoccupied with how to lead him to guess his predicament, what words and attitudes to use, how to set the pace and direction. He even forgot to introduce his cousin to Successor.

But it's not too late.

Constandi turned back and looked at Successor, who had just gone to see the situation there: “I'm sorry I was so excited to see you earlier. I forgot something important. Please forgive me, bro.”

"I probably understand what you mean, but your shouldn't apology to me, you should apology to this friend, to whom you haven't introduced him to me yet." Successor also seems to have taken note of the information revealed by the bearing, countenance, and details of the young man around Constandi. Understand that even if he was dressed in an unflattering style or color, he was definitely not an entourage, at least a relative or close friend of Constandi.

Constanti shifted his horse a little, made room between Successor and his cousin, and offered his hand: ”Bro was right. This is my cousin, Onesti MannMarche, who tutelar name is Inceptive Assignor, a few months younger than me. His clan wanted him to have more experience, so they let him stay with me for a while.”

The boy named, Onesti, saluted Successor slightly uneasily.

Then he turned to Onesti and introduced Successor. "And this one, the second childe of the Roubavior clan, Successor Roubavior, the Original Inheritor, was the most important friend I made in ConfluAna a few years ago."

"It feels very strange for you to say that." Successor complained, then suddenly remembered something, and said surprised, "MannMarche, isn't this the surname of the Lord Bullire ( note 19)? Are you a descendant of him?”

"Exactly." Onesti was rather pleased by the mention of his ancestors, and some of his resistance to Successor which he had previously disguised as stiff was now more subdued.

Successor smiled and shook his head, and now his smile is back to the gentle state that Constandi hated most: "I annoyed Little Liar when he used to show off his status as descendant of the Prime Minister Officium(note 20). I feel a little envious now that I see you two proud of your ancestors who are known to all."

"The Roubavior clan are also descendants of famous minister. Don't your clan have more honor than ours? Don't your uncles have more power than ours? We can hardly bear it when you say so." Onesti hastened to comfort Successor.

Successor waved his hand. "Of course they are great. But my ancestors are not as legendary as the followers of Emperor the Supreme(note 21)."

"Are famous ancestors something to show off to you? Bro. " Constandi interposed. Onesti now fully confirmation and acceptance that it was normal for the two men to joke with sarcasm, which made Constandi's heart a little relieved.

"What do you take me for?" Successor seems to be slightly unhappy, but not serious.

"That's what you are." Constandi continued to taunt his friend in front of his cousin. "Inceptive Assignor, don't look at his simple clothes, but this bastard was famous for showing off in ConfluAna's dandy circle. The carriages and horses that followed him were draped in silk, and the swaggering noise would have given my father, then Barraca of Land Dominant(note 22), a headache. There is no man I have ever met who likes to show off and boast more than he does. That years, he did not less brag to us about the deeds of his ancestors, if more than the founding heroes......"

"Come, come, this is our first meeting for three years, and you welcome me with a rehash of my old follies? " This is Successor in a hurry.

"The reputation of the ancestors is used to maintain, not to show off." This is Onesti. He's a little inappropriate, and trying to talk to Successor and Constandi.

The stopped line started up again.

Constandi regretted that he had not finished what he wanted to say to Successor, which was dark, dangerous, and political. He did not even have time to convey his appeal in a subtle way. But there is still more than a day to go, and this time the topic is not stopped because either side wants to avoid it, so there are plenty of opportunities.

At the same time, he was also a little upset and glad. upset because he failed to take good care of Onesti and almost caused an accident, fortunately, the accident is not bad.

Constandi is twenty-one now, has been an official, began to work. In the traditional view of the Empire he had reached the end of his youth, the beginning of a long middle age. The pleasant experience of riding horses in the early spring sun and breeze with brother and friend, joking with each other and communicating without much thought, will become less and less possible.

Today is very easy, very happy, worth coveting.

At this moment, he did not need to think about what he had hidden from Successor.

For example, in fact, Bonionos Kuning recommended him because Bonionos thinks he is very excellent, strengthening the alliance is just a by-product.

For example, although he deliberately showed that he had no choice, he actually accepted his choice extremely happily when Bonionos asked him for his opinion.

For example, the unsaid act that like betrayal to both sides and the true purpose hidden after the words.

Now he didn't have to, didn't have to, didn't have to think about things that weren't interesting.

All he had to do was enjoy the last of his youth.

In this way, three have not completely rid of the image of youth slowly on the road. Everything in this spring area is very beautiful. At this season, green mountains, clear waters, dense forests and structured farmland, are alive. They and spring are maturing, declining, are fleeting.

The thought of here is inevitably sad —— but even if again for the spring will leave and feel sad, at this moment walking in this piece of spring you and me, are also felicity.

Because we are not old enough, we are still alive.
