Sui's hands got abnormally cold, his muscles twitching everywhere. He staggered and fell on Xuyun's shoulder. His pupils getting narrower, his breathe became short and there was white liquid coming out of his mouth. He almost lost consciousness.
The appearance of the criminal marked as the time of death for Sui as well. Xuyun should have known this. He had seen him died three times already. This time, it was poisoning. But somehow, this time, he couldn't help but noticing anger erupted in his heart. He grabbed Sui's body tightly, protecting him from the raging crowds.
He wanted to interrogate each of the people there, who dares put poison in the tea? Which bastard have guts to do so?? Which one of you have medical knowledge? But the crowd that were busing protecting their lives, panicky ran away, shouting and pushing, irked Xuyun more and more. He got an immense urge to kill these people.
.
.
But, then again, would that help?
.
.
In the end, all he could do was just hold his body, which had turned cold and colder. Sui's hands grabbed on his shirt tight. The white liquid flowing non-stop from his mouth, drenching his and Xuyun's shirt.
.
.
At 6 PM, his hand loosen and fell.
Xuyun was still holding on his body. His arms were still locked tight on Sui's shoulder.
At the first, second and third time Sui died, he was never at his side, watching him dying, so he didn't know. This time, he was there.
.
.
But it was painful, it was painful.
.
.
Sui was the one who died, but Xuyun was in pain, too.
Was it because this time, he could see how Sui suffering until he died? Or was it because he had been with Sui all this day that he had got attached to him?
If he knew it was this painful, he wouldn't have followed him to climb the school walls.
"Sui Shizi, you little punk…."
Was this what 'growing affection' like? Death had really toying with his feelings, to made he met Sui on his death day, to made him grew affection to a dying person. Death was really cruel, it was just as Sui had said. Now, it had hold another one of Xuyun's weakness.
Affection was the greatest weakness, the basic rule in military.
What strongest fighter? What number one? He really was the weakest, he couldn't even protect Sui. He could just watch him suffer and die slowly.
Sui said, time of death was definite. One couldn't change their future. But Xuyun could, at least he could delay it from happening.
He just couldn't give in to death. He just couldn't give death what he wanted. He couldn't give Sui to him.
"Sui Shizi, I won't let you die." You dragged me to this. Take responsibility.

When he opened his eyes again, it was morning, the next August 20. In front of him, a familiar figure bowed down.

"Senior! I'm in love with you!"
