"Let him go..." YiMing had said looking ahead for the birds. she tried her best to give off a calmly powerful speech and perhaps not let out her soft side.. and she had done it.
The ghost looked up at her "How can you even say that?" She was in tears "How can you be so heartless suggesting that I let him go Just like that?!"
"Well...I'm not being heartless" She didn't have the guts to look at her directly. She simply looked ahead. "I'm just making a suggestion that'd be best for all... I guess... It's more painful to be the one waiting alone... Waiting...And searching, hopelessly. Isn't it tiring? I just think you should give up...and let yourself be in peace. Maybe then, You'll be happy" She said...
"No..." The ghost said as she got up, looking at her "How can you say such a thing...How can you all be the same... Heartless. You just give up like that! No...I won't listen to anything you all have to stay, If you won't help, then I'll do it myself!"
She snapped as she disappeared, leaving YiMing alone.
YiMing sat there alone quietly for a while. Still staring at the birds walking around and bickering, she had her mind elsewhere.
YiMing flashed through the memories of NaYin.
She found herself recalling their Happy memories together and it had tugged her heart. She felt sad instantly and moody.
She missed her, and it was no secret. She Stillwell hadn't gotten over her. And this too was no secret.
"Perhaps..." She said to herself "I'm not even qualified to tell someone to let someone go ..to untie the knot in their hearts...to learn how to live happily...Maybe I am not even close to qualified to tell them that Because I haven't even let go of any. I haven't even let myself forget anything...I haven't untied the knots in my heart neither have I tried becoming happy again..."
She slowly let out a sad smile "I understand now... I do" She said as she leaned her head backward on the bench looking into the sky.....

Lili pulled over at the Li mansion. She sat in the car for a while in thought.
She still hadn't gotten to the button of all these. She didn't know if SiChen had truly died and had come back again. Or maybe he didn't die at all.
Right now she wanted to believe that he didn't die at all. That would at least make her at ease because it'd be normal and understanding.
Other than a dead person coming back to life?! That would be a horror for her!
After spending some time in the car alone, she brought herself together and then got out of the car .then entered the mansion.
On entering, the first thing she saw was the image of SiChen boldly placed on the couch.
The sight of it made her stiffen in shock. Her heart raced looking at the image. She slow drew back.
"Oh you're home" Mr. Li had asked walking down the stairs.
She still had her eyes on the image, her expression pale as though she had seen a ghost!
Mr. Li had observed this. He looked at the image and then at her "What's it?"
"What's... This?" She pointed at the image as though she didn't know what it was.
"Huh?.." Mr. Li was equally confused " That's...An Image..."
Just then Mrs. Li came out of the Kitchen along with Lili's mother.
"Well, we have to get ready for SiChen's funeral soon...." Mrs. Li stopped looking at Lili's expression. "What's wrong with her?"
"Hey, Lili" Her mother called "Are you okay?"
Lili slowly moved back. She suddenly saw things! The image was now smiling at her! and she was freaking out!
"Why is his image here...Who says he's dead?!" She snapped "No...He's not...take his pictures away! He's not dead! He's still alive! He's still alive! He...he even came to work yesterday, so don't keep his images as if he's dead! He's not! Just...take it Away!"
She snapped as she quickly turned and ran out of the house, slamming the door close.
Those downstairs looked at each other confused.
"Maybe... She's just too emotional about SiChen.." Lili's mother said "You know she loved him...She still can't accept the fact that he's gone...Solet'stry to understand her, Okey?"
"I understand...I hope she gets better soon" Mrs. Li sympathized "And... We've already set SiChen's funeral soon...I want it done so he can finally rest"
"Yeah...I think it's a good idea" Mr. Li agreed to take SiChen's image to hang it on the wall.
"Oh... I was wondering, Since Lili has slowly begun taking care of SiChen's business, she must feel stressed and all...So we should support her as well. Maybe give her enough resources for support, what do you think?" Lili's mother said
"Lili is a good girl, so I'll certainly give her all the support that she needs... Don't worry, we'll support her to keep the fix the legacy in the company that my careless son wasn't able to reach, I'm glad my son would be glad" Mrs.. Li smiled.
Lili's mother smiled as well. Hearing that had given her a sense of security in securing her only daughter's future.
*****
Lili had run out of the house, panting.
She finally stopped after she had arrived at where her car was packed. But she didn't get in.
She had simply stood beside her car as she caught her breath. Staying in there and seeing the memorial images of SiChen was suffocating him. Especially when she knew he wasn't dead!
She felt uneasy at the moment and didn't know what to do about it.
She hated the fact that this was happening to her, she didn't know where it went wrong. And now didn't know how to fix it at all.
With a long sigh, she ran her hands through her hair hoping to calm herself. She Inhaled and exhaled softly making up for the suffocation she had felt in there.
"You broke your promise and told them"
She suddenly heard someone say as she quickly turned to see SiChen standing before her.
