No matter how genuine or beautiful love might be, Bajie—knowing beforehand that being together would only cause them both pain—let go with a hardened heart, without a single backward glance. He did this out of pure love, fearing she might choose him again in the next life. Though it is meaningless to debate who suffers more—the one longing or the one being longed for—Marshal Tianpeng (Zhu Bajie) will have to painfully turn his back on the ones he loves for another 999 lifetimes. Ultimately, whether love results in being together or being apart, what truly matters is how profoundly two people love each other. That is why Chapter 4 leaves us with a profound question: do we have the courage to let go, just like Bajie did?
The girl who once claimed she never wanted to be anyone's girlfriend is now someone's wife—something Tom still cannot wrap his head around. All the things Summer was never certain of with Tom became crystal clear with this new person. Meeting him made her understand the love Tom used to talk about. She finally accepted that everything Tom said about love and destiny was right all along. Tom's only mistake was thinking that Summer was his soulmate.
A love filled with protection, where one never even has to know the meaning of loss, might be the kind of love everyone wishes for. But true love isn't just a brief, happy moment. It is composed of millions of little things: arguing in the car, giving emotional support when needed, staying strong for one another, growing up together during vulnerable times, and taking care of each other. Life is not just a fleeting moment of joy, and a 'forever' together is an even longer journey.
No matter how true or beautiful love is, Bajie—knowing that their closeness would only hurt them both—let go with a hardened heart and without looking back, purely out of love and the fear that she would choose him again in the next life. 😔😔
