They had arrived at their destination, and the car stopped.
But Cai Murong didn't immediately get out. Instead, she looked at Chen Zheng with a smile. "Can I hug you?"
Chen Zheng smiled. "Of course!"
Cai Murong gently hugged Chen Zheng. As the song played inside the car, she held him tighter and tighter.
"For some reason... I don't want to die anymore..." she whispered softly. A tear trailed down her cheek, landing on the collar of Chen Zheng's shirt.
Then, she let go of Chen Zheng and continued smiling. "Chen Zheng, I have regrets! My wish list is longer than this. I want to call you tomorrow. Can you come out and play with me for one more day?"
Chen Zheng nodded earnestly. "Of course!"
Cai Murong then left, skipping away like an indefatigable little sprite.
Chen Zheng rolled down the car window and took a few deep breaths.
Matters of life and death weren't for him to decide. He really wanted to help Cai Murong, but there was nothing he could do.
