Lu Liyang x Xie Xunlan
Rebellious and world-weary x sharp-tongued schemer
-
The winter she turned twenty, Lu Liyang was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Everyone around her wanted to save her, but she was the one who wanted to die.
In the cold hospital room, the girl sat on the bed, looking into the eyes of the young man before her.
Xie Xunlan, the sole heir to the Xie family.
Outstanding in every way.
He was also her childhood friend.
Wearing a simple hospital gown, she asked calmly and rationally, "Am I going to die?"
"I'll cure you. Wait for me."
Her childhood friend denied it, left her with those words, and vanished from her world.
He never heard the last thing she didn't get to say.
"But I won't wait for you."
Lu Liyang said it without mercy, the light already gone from her eyes.
She meant what she said.
The young man never found a way to save her. Instead, the first news he received was that she had died.
It was early summer the following year. The trees swayed in the breeze, and cicadas and birds sang.
The young man held a bouquet of white lisianthus as he stood before the girl's grave.
The cool breeze dampened the tips of his hair. Standing in the rain, he confessed his love with all his heart.
"Yangyang, white lisianthus means everlasting love, purity, and sincerity that never changes.
I love you. Can you hear me?"
There was no reply.
A month later, someone else lay beside Lu Liyang's grave: Xie Xunlan.
I used to think dying for love was nothing more than an old legend.
But when losing you feels like losing the whole world, you can love someone enough to willingly die for them.
Xie Xunlan
