Sunflowers Turn Toward Jie

If not for that night, and the dream that felt so real, perhaps I would never have imagined that my ordinary, uneventful life could be so tumultuous. If I could never see you again, I'd rather live in that dream forever.

You once held me tightly in your arms. When I thought I was about to pay for murder, you gave your life to bring me back. You once pressed your lips gently to my forehead. When I became a prisoner and had to sacrifice my chastity to survive, you abandoned the greater good to protect me. When I struggled to survive until I lost myself, you overcame every obstacle to protect the rest of my life.

Why is it that between us, I'm always the only one who gets to live? I never want to hear you say, "Jie'er, I will make sure you survive," ever again. Quinn, do you believe me? Jie'er doesn't want to be left alone, spending a lifetime missing you. Jie'er wants to live with you. In this life, let's live on together, all right...
