He was something the other man had raised with his own hands.
After leaving him behind for three years, he came back to find that the thing had grown into his own likeness.
Hao Wei thought Yan Xiuyu was dead.
He took that man’s name and lived as that man. His signature was identical, his way of doing things perfectly matched. But when the real Yan Xiuyu returned, he looked at Hao Wei as if he were a familiar knife: handy, but still just a thing.
“Pain is what makes you remember.” That was the first lesson Yan Xiuyu taught him, and the last.
But there was someone else who waited three years, only to be met with rejection, excuses, and avoidance. What had he thought he was? Only later did he understand: that person wasn’t unwilling to speak. He simply didn’t know how. All he could do was drop to one knee and offer himself up.
This is a story about “carving something in.”
Someone carves a name into their bones and blood. Someone turns years of waiting into an obsession. Someone carves himself into another person’s life. By the time they finally understand each other, the pain has already blossomed.
“What I taught you is enough.”
“Then now, should I use a bullet or tears?”
