On the cement path by the banks of the Huangpu River, a man and a woman walked side by side as the setting sun behind them cast long, slanting shadows. The river surface on their left occasionally had cargo ships passing by, causing ripples that flickered under the sunset with their final gleams.
"So, is that the way things are?"
After hearing Mr. Su Bai's recount, Aroma's face displayed neither frowns of worry nor moments of hesitation; instead, there was a kind of composure and a cheeky charm exclusive to women.
"Mr. Su Bai..."
Aroma turned around to face Mr. Su Bai and reached out to tidy his collar,
"You and I, we really have grown apart, haven't we?"
Mr. Su Bai did not speak or argue, he just quietly watched the woman in front of him, quietly watched the dusk before him;
By handing over the decision whether or not to enter the world of "Mr. Zombie" to Aroma, he was, to some extent, passing the troubles that should belong to him to her.
