At their first meeting by the Xiaoya Prison, he was a prisoner taking the blame for someone else, his manner frivolous and his gaze brazen. At a glance, he was clearly not a good person.
She and he belonged to two different worlds. One light, one dark. destined to go in opposite directions.
When they met again, it was an overcast day, at a crossroads, with the world blurred beyond the car window by the mist and rain.
She suddenly appeared, a fleeting, tragic beauty in white.
From that moment on, he finally realized that, as it turned out, he had been waiting a long time for this unknown reunion.
Afterward, without revealing his intentions, he proceeded step by step, carefully laying his plans, using a rough, forceful, domineering, and direct way to enter her life.
She drew closer to him little by little, and step by step, she also drew closer to the truth.
He said, “The day you find out about the wrong things I’ve done, give me a chance. Don’t ever leave.”
He said, “If you can survive, I’ll repay the gods and pray to Buddha, abstain from meat and recite the sutras, and kneel before the Old Man himself to thank him for his mercy. If you die, I absolutely won’t go on living alone either. I’ll accompany you to the Yellow Springs.”
In his arms was a warm city, shielding her from wind and rain, sparing her from the cold and loneliness of having no one to rely on.
Perhaps this was all there was to cherishing someone.
When you are cold, it just so happens that I can give you warmth.
