Jin Longwen exhaled another faint breath into the oxygen mask. His eyes were unwavering, staring at the ceiling with a vague gaze. Everything seemed to have escaped his mind at the moment. It was but a plain blank sheet with the exception of her smile running through his head like a film roll.
There was tears by the corner of his eyes and they fell as he blinked. It wasn't just a break of sorrow he had shed, but also a form of relief, and the biggest part of it was a remembrance of fear. The fear of almost leaving her behind.
'Don't go.' She had told him.
'Stay...' She had begged him.
'Don't leave. You said you'll wait, remember? I'm already walking now. I'm halfway there. So, don't go.' She had said with her eyes reddening. He wondered then, had she cried or had it been just the rain soaking her eyes?
It was a foul move, Xiao Fei. Don't let anyone, even the rain carried your tears away. I hope I would always have the strength to wipe it for you.
