Searching for Lilian

What you've lost will be replaced by something new. In truth, it isn't someone new, but someone who left you long ago and then came back.

On an ordinary summer night, two boys sit on the railing beside a downhill lane, drinking soda and chatting.

Chen Xiaolin asks Chi Xiao'an, "Did you see that black car?"

Chi Xiao'an: "So what if there's a car?"

"That car parks on this downhill lane every night." Chen Xiaolin emphasizes, "Every night."

Chi Xiao'an: "So what? What's wrong with that?"

"My instincts tell me that everything about it is wrong," Chen Xiaolin says quietly.

Wei Xun: "Chi Xiao'an, can you keep our meeting tonight a secret?"

Chi Xiao'an asks, "A secret from whom? Wen Nianqiu?"

"Everyone."..
