Autumn Sea's Lost Dream

The wind came from the surface of Sailimu Lake, carrying the unique crispness of late autumn, wrapped in fine snow particles, and brushed the tips of Bai Xi's frost-stained hair. He leaned in Li Wan's arms, his back pressed against the cool bluestone of the lakeshore. His vision had long been blurred, but he still tried his best to look at the lake in front of him, which was called "the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean." The blue lake water and the sky are connected together, as clear as if he had hidden his thoughts for half his life, from the pounding of his heart in the coastal town to the entanglements that accompanied him along the way, and finally sank into this boundless autumn sea. "Li Wan, look... This lake is so beautiful. I seem to be thinking of Jiang Ci again, Professor Shen and... That... That... Brat from Lazi... I think grandma made the three delicacies pot stickers..." Bai Xi's voice was as light as a wisp of smoke, and his breath was intermittent. Every word he spoke brought pain in his chest. He raised his cold hand, wanting to touch Li Wan's red eyes, but his fingertips dropped weakly, and finally rested gently on the back of her hand that was holding him tightly. They have gone through a long period of time, survived the worldly view, and overcome countless ups and downs, but in the end they still failed to reach the promised end. He once promised to take her to see the most beautiful lake in the world, to accompany her to watch the sunset by the lake in autumn, and to give her all his tenderness. However, fate was too stingy after all, and only gave him the opportunity to rush here, but not the time to stay. Li Wan hugged him tightly, tears bursting through the dam and wetting his clothes. He was so choked that he couldn't say a complete sentence. There were only suppressed cries scattered in the cold wind. She rubbed his pale cheek over and over again, trying to retain his remaining warmth, wanting to retain this person whose heart was full of hers, but the passage of life was never controlled by anyone. His body became colder little by little, and even his breathing became weaker and weaker. Bai Xi's eyes slowly closed, and the last glimmer of his light was fixed on Li Wan's tear-stained face, but the corner of his mouth gently curled up into a shallow smile, filled with relief and endless nostalgia. He failed to say the unfinished "I love you", but left all his deep feelings on the banks of Sailimu Lake in late autumn, and in the arms of the person he loved most. The wind is still blowing, and the lake water is filled with fine ripples, as if telling an unfinished dream. He left, leaving his last words: "Wan'er, I saw a lot of people and remembered a lot of things. I saw my mother and father. They were waiting for me under a tree. There was a beach, a grassland, and a red house on the seaside. You could see the sea from there, and it seemed like it was already autumn... I... I... Love..." Bai Xi finally left, staying by this blue lake forever, and died in the arms of Li Wan, whom he loved with all his life. And this dream that started in autumn and ended in the deep sea became the dream of the autumn sea that Li Wan would never wake up from for the rest of his life. Year after year, the wind passing by the lake was filled with longing for her. The sea is the way here and the lake is the way back. An old dream in the autumn sea, with no return date in this life.
