“Weren’t you going to jump into the river?”
“My keys slipped out of my hand and fell in. I was just taking a look. Why are you making such a big deal out of it? Also, do we know each other?”
An awkward encounter tied their lives together. Knowing he was terminally ill, Xun Yi treasured life deeply. Even as he struggled with despair, he did his best to pull himself together. Meanwhile, the oblivious “optimist” Jiang Ci kept a diary that went from “Met a strange person today” to “Slept with him today. So happy.”
Xun Yi had assumed that his rich, dim-witted boss’s way of showing his “appreciation” was to give him a raise now and then, or let him take time off to travel. But then he discovered that what the big boss wanted was Xun Yi himself!
Until one day, Jiang Ci accidentally found Xun Yi’s medical records.
“Tell me this isn’t...”
“It’s true.”
Xun Yi looked at him, eyes red. They fell silent, and Jiang Ci’s tears streaked down his face without restraint.
Xun Yi stayed by Jiang Ci’s side through his passionate youth.
Jiang Ci stayed by Xun Yi’s side, and before he knew it, had accompanied him through his entire life.
In the end, Jiang Ci’s diary came to a stop. Each date was neatly and simply followed by a different sentence. A breeze passed, turning the pages until they settled on the last date he had written.
“2022.12.3”
“I can’t wake him up anymore.”
Gentle by nature but short-lived employee Xun Yi and young, successful, gentle boss Jiang Ci.
Tragedy! Tragedy! Tragedy! The two love each other deeply, but the shou will eventually die of cancer.
Theme: Setting death aside, all I want is to live in the present with you.
When I write a story like this and a protagonist like this, I must have a certain sense of immersion and feel heartbroken for 2 seconds.
It's amazing that a young author can write so much in practice instead of just talking about it on paper! Thinking ability, imagination, expression ability, and three views are all in it. Admire, admire!
Happy New Year!! Come on!
Happy New Year, looking forward to the next post~
Hahaha, no need to worry about updating.
I feel like Xunyi is about to die, so it should be a short novella. The pace is fast, the lines are clear, and it's a bit of a catchy rush. Come on, the young author who won't stop during the New Year!
Interview the young author: Many of those names use numbers, including room tasks, etc. What inspired this, or does it have any meaning?
Boss and employees! I can!!
I feel sad right now(><)
