Borrower

My name is Chen Du. I almost died when I was six years old, but I survived. I have always felt that I am destined to survive. But twenty-two years later, I realized that my life was not a big one, but a borrowed one. Who did you borrow it from? Borrowed from a four-year-old girl. Her name is Xiaoyin, and she is an orphan who lives in the same room as me in the orphanage. On the third day after I came back to life, she died. When she died, her whole body was wrinkled, like a ninety-year-old woman. There is a price for borrowing life. The price is - you can't love anyone in this life. Once you fall in love with someone, the dead person whose life you borrowed will attach to the person you love and replace her bit by bit. First the personality changes, then the face changes, and finally the body rots until you watch the person you love most turn into a corpse. And there's nothing you can do. I just fell in love with a blind girl. She couldn't see herself changing. Only I can see it.
