"I said, he's already gone! It happened the year after he broke up with Leng Mo! That's why she asked me, and I kept silent!"
"Because before he left, he met me once and told me that if I ever ran into Leng Mo, I should never tell her anything about him!"
"This way, Leng Mo would just think that he's unreachable, and at least she wouldn't feel overly heartbroken and sad!"
He wished he could tell Leng Mo to stop waiting, stop looking. That person would never appear again!
But sadly, he couldn't. The Leng Mo he encountered now was a completely different person from who she was years ago!
Facing the last trace of light in Leng Mo's eyes, the final shred of her obsession, he could only pretend to be nonchalant as if he knew nothing!
He couldn't imagine, once Leng Mo found out the news that the person was gone, whether she would still have the courage to keep living—or if she would merely exist like a walking corpse.
