Dong Xue once had a dream.
She saw people laughing at her, treating her as an animal beneath them, like the ashes under their feet.
Her secret emotions were ruthlessly exposed, with a pain that tore at flesh and bone.
She became the sheep in the rain.
She was always naive, possessing the sin called "never growing up," bearing the sin of being scolded by her parents.
But there was someone who would forever stand still, waiting for her, like a blue whale sinking with her.
Like the sheep that accompanied her in the rain.
As long as she hugged them, it was as if she had embraced the whole world, her arms seemed able to bear all suffering.
She had once been like a dried-up husk, like a wandering ghost, indulging over and over in the cycle of dreams, reliving the most painful times, unable to walk out.
...In such an unaccommodating world, she underwent an exceedingly long growth.
