I once firmly believed that man can conquer nature. Until I met Ji Zheng.
At the entrance of the alley, at dusk, he was huddled in the corner like a piece of discarded garbage. I should have walked straight through as usual, but some kind of throbbing from the depths of my soul made me stop.
It was not pity, but a more primal confirmation that I had found the missing half of my soul, even though it was riddled with cracks.
From then on, the trajectory of my life completely deviated. His pain became my pain, his despair my despair. I thought love could withstand everything.
Until that rainy night, I witnessed the complete collapse of his world. I brought him home, thinking I could recreate a safe haven for him. But fate once again proved my naivety.
When the sharp teeth of illness, poverty and reality came to bite me, and when he said to me, "Chen Pushi, let's let each other go," I was shocked to realize that my efforts to save him might be the push to push him deeper into the abyss.
If we meet, it is destined to end with his destruction and my madness.
If it happened all over again, would I still stop at that alley for him?
I can.
Even if I know the ending is doomed, I will still go to him. Because from the first moment I saw him, my destiny was already written. Because some encounters are not accidental from the beginning, but two lonely souls must meet, even if the outcome is mutual destruction.
