The sun is setting.
As the orange light rays from the sun shoned down from the window, there revealed Lianhua who was lying in the bed, sleeping.
His face looked a little pale and cold sweats can be seen in it.
He really looks exhausted.
After a few moments, His eyes slowly opened.
He slowly get up in a sitting position,he stared blankly as he is still trying to recall of what just happened and why did he end up again on his bed.
He was confused.
But just then, he felt that someone is staring at him.
Xiao Li Zi, who is also just woken up, stared at Lianhua. It seems like Xiao Li Zi slept too while waiting for the other to open it's eyes.
The scene before him is none like other.
The cold gentle winds brushed Lianhua's hair like a flower that was swayed by the wind.This flower seems to be relying on something to keep itself alive and well.
And the green lifeless eyes that is staring at him. These pair of eyes Infront of him seems soulless and no shine could be seen in it.
This was all in Xiao Li Zi's perspective. He doesn't want to see this side of Lianhua.
A side that is fragile and helpless. He doesn't want to imagine how Lianhua suffered. Did he cried for help yet no one approached him? Could he only look at that door shut closedly knowing that he'll never reach it?
He knows he just met him yesterday and he felt like he knew Lianhua for years....no, centuries.
If he can heal or treat other people with his herbs and skills, then why is he lying unconsciously on the floor with sweats all over?
As he stared at Lianhua, he regretted on how little he helped him. He even insulted Lianhua yesterday. He really regret it.
"X-Xiao Li Zi...?" Lianhua's eyes widened and seems to be slowly recovering it's light. He was shocked to see the other. It's like he lost the person infront of him. He smiled as tears continuously flows down on his cheeks and ignored it. Before the other could react, Lianhua suddenly throw himself to Xiao Li Zi and both fell from the bed.
"Urghhh....my back....w-what are you doing??" Xiao Li Zi was shocked of Lianhua sitting on top of his lower body. This position alone is embarrassing and he could only pray that no one would barge in and see this.
"X-Xiao Li Zi....your'e warm...and alive..." Lianhua smiled with tears that still flows in his eyes.
' HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL?! STOP SAYING WORDS THAT SCARES ME WHILE SITTING ON TOP OF ME! '
Xiao Li Zi is still processing on how he could get out from this position.
"I-im so sorry..." Lianhua clenched his fist. He clenched it to the point where his hands are trembling.
"What are you saying? Why are you spouting words as if I'm dead?" Xiao Li Zi is trembling already in fear and couldn't take it anymore words of this man's joke.
"If....I didn't kill them, would you still here by my side until then? I-if I asked for your forgiveness..... Perhaps you would not hate me..."
Lianhua seems like he really meant every word he says.
The sun is setting and you can see it's beautifully deep orange color covering Lianhua's room. Fom the wall to it's floor, to the furnitures and ornaments that seems expensive and elegantly looking. But there's this one thing that even the sun can't lay it's rays on. Lianhua's face.
Xiao Li Zi was shocked but felt weird at the same time. This is not the Lianhua he knew yesterday. The Lianhua yesterday was a bit feisty or so, but now, there's no difference between him and a shattered glass.
Xiao Li Zi was curious and could familliarize every word Lianhua says.
Do they know each other before?
Xiao Li Zi has never seen this man in his whole life until yesterday.
Xiao Li Zi decided to ask to know further.
"Forgiveness? What do you mean?"
Lianhua stopped crying upon hearing the other's response.
"For.....for..." His voice was dry this time and seems like he couldn't say any more words.
Suddenly, Lianhua's eyes is closing slowly and his body was losing balance and was about to fall onto the ground but just as his head was having contact to it, Xiao Li Zi acted fastly and extended his arms and used his hand to carry Lianhua's body by carrying it from it's shoulder.
"LIANHUA!!"
Xiao Li Zi was scared and trembling but helping him is better than stalling and shout it's name.
He rose up and carried Lianhua carefully and made him lay down back to it's bed.
He grabbed the blanket and covered Lianhua's body in a gentle manner.
Xiao Li Zi couldn't understand Lianhua's current condition.
He was sweating, trembling, and is scared of what might happen again and so, he grabbed a chair and sit on it, waiting for the other to wake up.
