But... she doesn't believe Shen Nie is dead, that man who was like a demon and an immortal, that man who came into her early life and took care of her meticulously.
She doesn't believe that someone like Shen Nie would die.
After a long while, when her emotions had calmed somewhat, Ming Mei lowered her eyes and looked down to see Xizeer holding up a handkerchief.
Ming Mei wanted to smile at him, but she couldn't.
Ming Mei wiped the tears from her face and said, "This is his cenotaph. It's said... there's nothing left of his body."
Xizeer said, "You don't believe he's dead."
"Yeah, I don't believe it, and I don't want to believe it... You don't know how extraordinary he was..."
Ming Mei looked down at Xizeer. She could see some shadows of Shen Nie in Xizeer. They were both exceptionally intelligent people. When Xizeer grows up, perhaps... he will be even more outstanding than Shen Nie, more outstanding than Kang Chen. But people like that often live very tiring lives.
