Zhong Le'an had been sickly since childhood. The color she saw most in her world was the lonely white of hospital rooms.
After a long time away from the classroom, Zhong Le'an often gazed out the window at the birds in the sky.
Even Chu Jinhe found herself distracted for once. She nudged Zhong Le'an's arm and asked,
"Do you like birds?"
"I do."
"I love how free they are. I wish I could fly through the sky like them."
In a place Zhong Le'an would never know about, Chu Jinhe quietly made a note:
"Zhong Le'an: likes freedom."
Years later, Chu Jinhe used what she had learned to help Zhong Le'an board the "plane" made just for her. Zhong Le'an turned to Chu Jinhe and smiled.
"I'm taking off!"
Chu Jinhe smiled back at her, just as tenderly.
"Welcome to the world of the sky."
