Aunt Le lay in a pool of blood.
All the loud noises died down. Gu Sihan fell to the cold ground. There was no sound in her ears. There was really no sound at all.
Gu Sihan wanted to get up, but for some reason, her hands and feet did not listen to her. She crawled on the ground and followed the blood all the way to Ah Sheng’s side. Ah Sheng lay in a pool of blood, his body covered in blood.
“Ah Sheng.”
Gu Sihan’s voice trembled. Her hands were trembling. She hugged Ah Sheng with trembling hands, but didn’t dare to exert any force on him. In the end, she could only hug his head. There was blood trickling down the corners of Ah Sheng’s mouth. Gu Sihan helped him wipe it off, but she couldn’t wipe it clean no matter how hard she tried.
“Ah Sheng... Ah Sheng...”
Gu Sihan’s eyes were quickly blurred by tears. She called out to him with a choked voice.
