Mo Yuxin's heart shattered the moment she saw Su Yubing lying there, barely clinging to life on the cold stone floor. The air around them seemed to thicken with sorrow as blood still seeped from Su Yubing's cracked lips. Mo Yuxin cradled her beloved in her arms, her trembling fingers brushing gently across Su Yubing's tear-streaked face. In that unbearable instant, her mind raced, her thoughts jumbled into incoherent whispers.
"Su… Yubing… please… wake up…" Mo Yuxin murmured, her voice breaking as she pressed her cheek against Su Yubing's cool skin. "I… I'm so sorry. I should have protected you… I should have… oh, why didn't I…?" Her words trailed off into hiccups and stuttering sobs, her eyes wide with panic and despair. Every beat of her heart hammered the realization that she might lose the one person who meant everything to her.
