The woman with my face lay quietly in the silver-masked man’s arms, peaceful as if merely sleeping, with a slight smile at the corner of her lips.
The man knelt at the cliff’s edge, holding her, laughing towards the extremely steep precipice. He gently caressed her face, gazing at her for a long time.
After a moment, he slowly removed his mask.
I held my breath, staring at the man who seemed incredibly familiar.
The moment the mask came off, I was shocked and stunned. That face, beautiful and extraordinary, filled with sorrow, was so familiar. Wasn’t he Shui Zixi, the man with a child-like smile who appeared in my life for just a few months? The Shui Zixi I knew had seductive black eyes.
I stared blankly as he embraced the woman and jumped off the cliff, and at that moment, I desperately wanted to hold him back. As he leaped down with the woman, I saw tears falling from the corner of his eye.
At the moment he jumped with the woman, his last words were: “Yan’er, in the next life, when I am no longer the king of Cang Kingdom, will you leave a small place for me in your heart? When the man you love bears the responsibilities of the world, will you abandon me just as you abandoned him?”
At that moment, my heart seemed to be hollowed out with pain, so intense I could barely breathe.
Intertwined Dreams (Part Two)
I gazed deeply at the figure flying down mournfully, with a suffocating feeling continuously intensifying.
There was a wet sensation on my face. I gently wiped it and realized I hadn’t even noticed my face was already soaked, my cheeks long since covered in tears.
Perhaps because Yin Can had sealed my memories these past few years, I couldn’t control my own consciousness. The name Shui Zi Wei, even the person himself, had already disappeared from my memory. From the moment he vanished, he had disappeared from my life. Yet when he reappeared in my dream, it was in such a scene.
“Wei, Wei…” I murmured, repeating the name that had long disappeared from my memory. All along, whether his appearance or disappearance was so inexplicable, as if he had materialized out of thin air in my life.
