A long darkness.
Chen Xiaolian felt as if he were dreaming.
He dreamt of sitting on the rooftop of a skyscraper, perched on the edge, his feet dangling and swaying. Below him, the street was filled with a continuous stream of vehicles, but the sound was too distant to be heard.
The evening breeze tousled his hair.
In the dream, he felt like something should happen.
Then, a hand reached out beside him, offering a bottle of liquor.
Chen Xiaolian turned around and saw those bright moon-like eyes and that radiant smile.
"Keep walking on this path, I will... always be with you."
I will... always be with you.
I will... always... be with...
Chen Xiaolian took the bottle, watching the face gradually fade away.
He lowered his head, looked at the liquor in his hand, took a sip, and tears welled in his eyes.
Deception... all lies!
It's all lies!
"Hey, why would you say such things to deceive me... just to comfort me?"
In the dream, Chen Xiaolian stared blankly into the distance.
