Before being reborn
Xi Yi'an sat curled up in a dim room, hugging his knees. The curtains were closed, and the light from the TV screen made his face look deathly pale.
On the TV, a hero came to the rescue, and the supporting characters celebrated. In front of the TV, Xi Yi'an's tears soaked a dark patch into his pajamas.
Where was my hero? He was dead. He would never come back.
After being reborn
The wind howled past the bleachers beside the school field, whipping Xi Yi'an's clothes into a flutter.
Feng Chen stood beside him and asked, "Why choose this path? Doesn't it hurt to walk on thorns?"
Xi Yi'an looked at the crew setting up cameras in the distance, at the boys running freely across the field. The wind nearly drowned out his voice.
"Because even weeds in the shade want to grow toward the light. There's someone who, just by being seen, makes people feel like they've seen the light."
Feng Chen felt as if he'd just drunk a can of fizzy plum soda that hadn't finished fermenting. He thought, the person Xi Yi'an is chasing must be so lucky.
