You Are All I See

[Revised Translation]

1.

The tail end of autumn.

A set of high-resolution, unretouched photos with wildly contrasting styles went viral across the internet.

In the first four photos,

under clear skies, beneath golden ginkgo trees, a thick carpet of naturally fallen pale-yellow leaves covered the ground.

A young man in a well-fitted white trench coat turned around suddenly and smiled,

his gaze over his shoulder gentle, pure, and spotless.

The next four photos were a sharp contrast:

a dark, gloomy setting, a rust-covered cage.

The young man in black gripped the cold bars with both hands, the veins in his neck raised and his knuckles white.

His gaze was ferocious and vicious, a wicked, disdainful smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

The fifth photo, hidden from the nine-image grid, became the biggest mystery and sparked heated discussion.

2.

A year later,

Sheng Yao, now the young man's personal photographer, appeared as a guest on a variety show.

The photos that had dazzled the world were brought up again,

and the never-before-revealed theme and hidden fifth photo finally came to light and were made public.

The fifth photo:

The two shooting backgrounds were composited together, blending and overlapping along the diagonal.

One black hand and one white hand reached toward the center, their fingertips touching.

The theme of the photo was called:

"Salvation."

*

I was born human/demon. When I met you, I willingly cast aside my true nature.

You are my salvation,

and the only color in the frame.

*Thanks to the original cover photographer: overwater

Theme: Walking side by side with you is the rest of my life.
