Aversion

Ning Que looked at the fist print on the tree and questioned, "Why is it sinful?"

Sangsang did not say anything and headed back to the courtyard. He followed.

It was a bit chilly in the early spring. The tree inside the courtyard did not burgeon much. She stood under the tree, looked at its shivering branches and said, "If it is not, then you should let me go." 

Because Ning Que thought it was just them being together instead of him trying to keep her in the human world, he should have no objection if she were to choose to leave.

"You can leave any time," Ning Que said behind her.

Sangsang kept looking at the branches and saw a crow perched on the tree at the end of her sight line.

She continued, "If I were to leave, then you will kill yourself."

Ning Que did not say anything.

Sangsang turned to him and asked, "Are you that desperate to kill me?"
