You, Beyond My Reach

The day Xu Ji ran into Cheng Yao again at a mellow bar, he did something unusual and ordered a vodka.

Cheng Yao sang onstage while he sat below, head bowed over his drink, until the song neared its end.

Just like before, Cheng Yao skipped the final lyrics and let the audience sing along to the instrumental:

"In the light, I cast seven shadows. The faintest one is you, beyond my reach."

Xu Ji felt a little dazed. It had been seven years since he last heard those words.

And yet, he could still sing them, just as seeing someone he hadn't met in seven years could make his heart flutter all over again.

But this time, he wouldn't reach out to touch him.
