Lover

Ruan Yu was startled. Then, he turned. It was as if a hazy memory in his mind became clear after he saw someone standing behind him, looking at him after asking the question. This scene overlapped with one of his most cherished memories, which was his first meeting his lover, who also asked him the same question. Unfortunately, even if he knows how much devastated he was before when he died followed by him finding out that he might not meet his lover again and be with him again, his heart has become numb with pain and loneliness, especially during these past three hundred years that he lived alone. 

"… Xie Chen?" Ruan Yu called, his voice sounds uncertain as he looked at the figure in the darkness that is standing not far from him and is facing him.
