A large swath of light came in from the direction where Mu Ziying was speaking. It had been so long since I'd seen the sun, and my eyes were stung. I never knew the sun could be so abundant and so bright.
I finally opened my eyes with great effort. At that time, Yan Sheng was standing in the center of the light. He squatted down and stretched out his hand to me. I almost thought that the overwhelming sunlight was his background color, and he was the light itself. Sitting in the dark, I seemed to see another world.
However,
We finally met for the first time.
In the years that followed, I often thought that if the person who took me out of that darkness was not Yan Sheng, but the naive Mu Ziying, there would probably not be so many stories of constant cutting and confusion. Ziying also often wondered why it was clearly agreed that she would open the door, but when the door opened, it was Yan Sheng who stood in front of it. What I once attributed to fate is so hard to stop thinking about. But that's a story for another day.
Purpose: I wish everyone a happy viewing
