Too Far Apart

A story of time, distance and patience. It wasn't love at first sight. It was gradual, slow and building. It first started with a little curiosity. It was only when they were in the middle that they realised but nothing was to be done for it. The world was in chaos as were their hearts until they had all but fallen apart. What would put them together again?

Jiang Cheng looked at the man at the head of the table every day, he would look down upon the class with a smile, like a statue. This was the man people spoke of as no.1 beauty in all of the cultivation lands. He truly was beautiful with features so enchanting, it was a blessing to be in the same room for many. To Jiang Cheng, there was just one problem. The smile. It was like one of those smiles where you smiled for too long and the smile started to look unreal. No one can smile that long like a carved statue. If Jiang Cheng looked long enough, he could sometimes see the smile faltering, the corner of the lips struggling to keep it up.
