[A fanfic based on the original Notes from Tomb Raiders, with the Ping-Xie and Hei-Hua pairings. A secluded life after it all ends, all angst and no sweetness (super sweet fluff). Ping-Xie is the main pairing, Hei-Hua the secondary pairing. Anything that differs from the original is an author-created setting. Apologies for the OOC characterization.]
…[Imagined by the author]
“His innocence finally made him turn back for him.”
“His crabapple finally stopped hiding from him.”
The innocent one is still the same innocent one, so why did the ending change…
The young master is still the same young master, so why has he stopped performing…
[When the crabapples bloomed last year, you said, “Next year, we'll admire them together.” This year the branches are full of flowers again. Holding a crabapple blossom, he stands rooted to the spot, only now understanding that some promises are destined to scatter on the wind with the passing of the season.]
[As the wind blows the crabapple blossoms down, he finally dares to say “I love you” to the bare branches. But all that answers him is the sound of petals breaking apart, just like the feelings he never confessed, though they were already over.]
[With the last crabapple blossoms gone, there is no you in the rest of his life. This world has lost all its color.]

It's really too good-looking and cruel, hahaha, I recommend my own book.
It's so cruel, I want to cry when I see it
It's very beautiful, but too sadistic.
I cried to death(´;;`), there is nothing sweet at all
So beautiful, so sad that I cried
