May you shine brightly - the beautiful sadomasochism of life and death
"In the deepest despair, meet the brightest starlight"
That rainy night, Cheng Ye huddled in a dark and damp alley corner. Rain mixed with tears streaked across his pale cheeks, until an umbrella held up a clear sky for him. Xu Qingyang squatted down, and the rainwater dripped along the edge of the umbrella, making small splashes at his feet.
Cheng Ye raised his face full of scars: "You knew me when I was most embarrassed..."
Xu Qingyang tilted the umbrella towards him completely: "At that time, you were the brightest color I saw."
"You are the person I want to protect most in my life."
"Losing it when you love it most is the sharpest knife in the world."
They embraced each other late at night and exchanged the most touching vows:
Cheng Ye hugged the person in his arms tightly: "Without you, I feel like the whole world doesn't love me anymore."
Xu Qingyang gently stroked his trembling back: "I'm not redeeming you, because you are a very good person yourself."
"Promise me," Cheng Ye's voice was choked with sobs, "don't leave me when I love you the most."
Xu Qingyang looked into his eyes with a smile: "When will you stop loving me?"
"Never."
But love that is not recognized by the world is the original sin
"Qingyang! What do you mean you are gay? How can you be gay? Did Cheng Ye lead you astray? You can't be gay!"
Xu Qingyang roared helplessly: "Mom, I love him."
"Shut up!" Xu's mother grabbed the object at hand and threw it at Cheng Ye, "Do you know what love is? Disgusting! It's so disgusting! You are not gay, it was Cheng Ye who led you astray!
