The voice was so soft it resembled a whisper, which, in the next moment, vanished and melted into the wind and snow.
And Ning Xiaoshuang slowly closed her eyes, a sense of relief spreading across her face. She tiptoed like an autumn butterfly, teetering between the cliff and life's sprouts.
The rare look of relief on her face, following the instruction given by Cheng Weiyue from beyond the camera, led her to leap gracefully, falling silently.
And with that, the film signaled its end.
Cheng Weiyue had the post-production team reveal the fate of Ji Lingfeng and others in the movie's post-credits scene, using a police notice.
The butterfly of autumn does not belong to winter; those destined to leave cannot be retained.
It wasn't a family-friendly film, yet its screening was scheduled for the Spring Festival.
Cheng Weiyue's idea was simple: this movie deserved to be seen by everyone.
By now, Meng Tingxu had finished her part, standing up from the ground.
