Shen Zhixu was born with weak Qi and weak pulse, and his aura was as pale as the thin moon; Lin Jianyu's heart and lungs were cold, and he relied on only the warmth to hold up a room of fireworks. In the eyes of others, they are the most compatible and stable couple. They cook three meals together, accompany each other in all seasons, and even their silence is particularly harmonious.
No one knows the hidden fateful bond between the two: only the other can heal the body's cold and weak body over the years. If they stay together for a long time, they will silently drain each other of their remaining vitality. There were no misunderstandings or disputes, no external forces breaking them up. From the day they met, the outcome was already decided.
The days flow slowly in the fine fireworks. The fragrance of autumn cinnamon, warm porridge and soft cakes, warm quilts, and the light and shadow of sitting side by side in silence in the evening are all tenderness that hides hidden worries. They tacitly avoided topics of illness, life and death, and quietly covered up their increasing fatigue, shallow breathing, and coughing due to chills.
The years are getting lighter year by year, the journeys are getting shorter and shorter, and the words are gradually becoming less and less. Most of the time, we just cuddle up quietly and share a little residual warmth. I know in my heart that separation is irreversible, but I still take every inch of the day and night seriously, not feeling sad or complaining, but only caring about the people in front of me.
Thousands of good medicines in the world have no solution to their fate. Separation means loneliness and withering, and staying together means slow exhaustion. They never died in love, but their two thin breaths burned to the end at the same time, and fell silent together in the ordinary windless dusk.
The four seasons in the world rotate as usual, and the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms and falls year after year. There are no more two people who can hug each other for warmth and share the cool years.
Intention: Loving each other is the only salvation, staying together is the only destiny, and tender companionship is the complete perfection of their short life.
