Sitting in the hospital corridor, covered in blood, even her eyes were veiled in a mist of crimson. XiangYu refused to believe that Lu Heng was dead; she had just held his hand, and yesterday they had talked about traveling together, going back to school to take photos, and having a daughter. He must have loved her deeply; they had promised to walk together for a lifetime. She looked at her hands, covered in Lu Heng's blood. How could one person lose so much blood? XiangYu felt pain all over, a pain so intense she couldn't cry out or struggle. It was as if she were in a vacuum, unable to hear the sounds around her or discern her surroundings.
Lu Heng died in the year Xiang Yu wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, the year he turned 27. Xiang Yu wiped the blood from his body with her own hands. He had bled so much, yet his face was clean, devoid of pain. Xiang Yu's fingers caressed his face, a coldness that filled her with despair. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, but she turned away, not letting them fall on Lu Heng. Seven years ago, when she was handling her grandmother's funeral, the neighbor had told her that the tears of the living should not fall on the deceased; otherwise, they would cling to the earthly world, refusing to drink the soup of oblivion or be reincarnated. If they stubbornly lingered in the world, they would suffer greatly. She wiped away her tears and looked at Lu Heng gently, saying, 'Can you slow down a bit? Can you wait for me to finish everything here? I'll come to accompany you, okay?'
Xiang Yu sat in court and listened to the sentencing of Xiao Zhanyuan, death sentence with a two-year reprieve. Xiao Zhanyuan smiled weirdly at her, 'You will never forget me.' But Xiang Yu didn't even look at him; her gaze, like her heart, had no attachment. 'How should I die? Quickly and definitively, with no chance of being saved?' Xiang Yu walked out of the courtroom, her thoughts still lingering on how to die. Suddenly, she heard a car honking, too late to react, her body was already sent flying. 'So that's how it is!' A smile of relief played on her lips. It turned out that lord also had moments of mercy. This was Xiang Yu's last thought in this life."
