Su Mo leaned against the man's chest, her head tilted. The eyes she had struggled to keep open finally closed, forever losing all breath and life.
Sheng Feng still looked down at her.
He remained in a half-kneeling position, motionless, or perhaps he had simply forgotten how to move. His vacant eyes stared at the woman who had died in his arms and, for a moment, he even forgot how to breathe.
[Thank goodness… you never loved me…]
"Why… why would you say that…" Sheng Feng opened his mouth, his stiff hand reaching out to touch Su Mo's increasingly cold cheek, "I didn't... I wasn't not in love with you... Open your eyes, I haven't finished speaking, I was… I was lying to you just now..."
As he spoke, he tried to wake her, but Su Mo was already without sensation. Realizing he couldn't rouse her, Sheng Feng panicked completely, starting to slap her cheeks hard, "Su Mo? Su Mo, you open your eyes! Open them for me!"
