he gave me a name

Mo Yan stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and silently walked away.

Yu Sui also began walking back…

But just then

A tiny Mo Yan, still small and innocent, turned around with a wide grin on his face and looked back at Yu Sui.

That smile…

It was the kind of smile only a heart that had already chosen someone could carry.

Later that day, back in his room, Mo Yan opened his little diary and carefully wrote:

"Today, he gave me a name .... Dry Leaf...

I think I like it even more than Mo Yan."

---

Mo Yan's heart had always beaten just for him.

Even as a child, he didn't know the word for it ...but he felt it.

That was the effect of the Su Tao Jue mantra

More specifically, the part that was carved into Mo Yan's soul:

"As long as Yu Sui is by your side…

you shall never feel my absence."

So Mo Yan would always find excuses

to be near Yu Sui.

To see him.

To be seen by him.

Whether it was sneaking into his side of the border,

or hiding his things,

or picking little fights,

or teasing him endlessly

Every act was just a way

to get closer.

Because every time Mo Yan looked at Yu Sui…

…his soul whispered

There you are.
