I’m Wu Xie. Time has passed slowly, and before I knew it, I’d grown old. Lately, it seems everyone around me is about to leave.
First came Xiao Hua. He’s old now, and I haven’t seen him wear pink in ages. Against all expectations, he showed up to see me wearing pink today.
Later, while Fatty and I were sunbathing, he said he’d dreamed of Yuncai. Hearing that name left me dazed for a moment. I hadn’t heard it in so many years.
After that, I saw Xiuxiu. She’s still just as beautiful.
And finally, I saw Xiao Ge. I remember saying that when the time came, I’d take the Stuffed Bottle away with me. He was sitting by my bed, and I just smiled at him. Somehow, tears began to fall.
I didn’t do it. Why? Of course I couldn’t bear to. The Stuffed Bottle had only just managed to live an ordinary life, and he hadn’t had much time to enjoy it. How could I bring myself to take him away?
