There was once a line from the commentary desk: “Tang Bai and Li Ze always stand side by side.”
The finals ended, and golden confetti rained down on us. In our third year together, we won the championship, but it was the last little taste of sweetness before we parted.
“You said you weren't afraid, Tang Bai!”
“I was! I got scared when I saw all those hateful comments coming at you.”
When we lost, you were all I could see out of the corner of my eye. I wanted to go over, take your hand, and comfort you, but in the end all I could do was pat your shoulder.
My obsession was winning championships, as many as possible, together with you.
“Tang Bai, you definitely lost. Give up.”
“I surrender to you, willingly.”
After parting and hitting rock bottom, they finally took each other's hands.
