Bit by bit, little by little.

They are all memories of Xia Yuan.

Mei Fang spread out his hands that were tightly holding the light.

What she held in her hand was a pink paper crane.

The thousand paper cranes were intact in Mei Fang’s hands. After they opened their hands, they began to flutter and flew around Xia Yuan and Mei Fang.

At this time, the light and the black air were still entangled.

Xia Yuan took out the source of the light from Mei Fang’s pocket.

Then she seemed to realize something in an instant, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.

It fell on the family photo.

“Afang, I finally remember now.”

“I remembered what my wish was.”

Xia Yuan looked at the wall of light behind him, then smiled at Mei Fang and said:

“I actually wanted to escape from my home.”

“I want to run as far as possible, the farther the better.”

“This way, Mom and Dad won’t argue about work anymore.”

“That way, they will value my opinion.”

“I’ve always wanted to tell Youxi this.”

“But I couldn’t open my mouth.”

“I don’t have the courage to run away from home.”

“I can’t tell Youxi about my ‘bad intentions’ either.”

“But if I had done that thing of running away from home.”

“Maybe Dad will pay more attention to my feelings… and then I will…”

Xia Yuan was sobbing as she spoke to Mei Fang, and Mei Fang stepped forward to wipe away her tears.

At this moment, no matter how many words I say, they are pale and powerless. Companionship is the best answer.

But Mei Fang will also feel sad.

If he was with her at that time.

Will he help her make the decision to run away from home?

Will he be someone she can confide in?

If such a world existed…

He will cherish her.

Cherish him more than anyone else in the world.

Xia Yuan wiped away her tears and stood up.

She held up a family photo in one hand, walked towards the light, and went into the depths of the dark air.

Mei Fang held her hand and walked forward together.

The black air is getting smaller and smaller.

The giant beast’s size was getting smaller and smaller.

In the end, it was only half the height of a person.

Wait until the black air completely dissipates.

A middle-aged man kneeling on the ground appeared in front of Xia Yuan and Mei Fian. He slumped over with a languid look on his face, and his body was translucent like a ghost.

Xia Yuan also knelt on the ground, put his arm around the middle-aged man’s shoulder, and whispered soothing words to him.

“Dad, stop blaming yourself.”

“It’s in the past.”

“It’s all over.”

“I know your pain and remorse.”

“But you’ve been tortured for too long.”

“So… let it go.”

Mei Fang was accompanying Xia Yuan when suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder from behind.

The woman next to him exudes the temperament of an intellectual lady, with her long, smooth hair pasted to one side. Under her elegant makeup, her clear eyes are particularly refreshing, like the warm sunshine in spring.

She whispered in Mei Fang’s ear:

“Thank you…Afang.”

“Thank you for staying with Yuanyuan until now.”

After she and Mei Fang thanked him, she and Xia Yuan helped her father up.

Xia Yuan’s family of three hugged each other tightly.

The collapsed world gradually calmed down, but everything in the mirror world was also being swallowed by the light.

Xia Yuan in the mirror world fulfilled his wish, and the mirror world was about to disappear completely.

The mother and father that Xia Yuan was hugging gradually turned into light and disappeared.

Then only Xia Yuan was left.

She stood up with Mei Fang’s help.

At the end of the white, the entrance to the standing mirror stood quietly not far away.

This is the last journey.

Xia Yuan held Mei Fang’s hand and walked slowly towards the standing mirror.

They smiled and looked at each other.

“Yuanyuan.”

“Ok?”

“Are you going to disappear next, or can you come out with me?”

“I should… disappear.”

Xia Yuan smiled and stretched out her palm to Mei Fang. At this moment, her hand was emitting little white light which gradually dissipated.

Although helping Xia Yuan fulfill her wish was bound to end like this, when this huge feeling of sadness came over him, Mei Fang still couldn’t help being swallowed by the emotion.

“You cried?”

“No.”

“Just crying.”

Xia Yuan surrounded Mei Fang and looked at her. “You are already in high school, but you are still crying like this. It’s really not nice. Even elementary school students are more mature than you.”

Mei Fang was amused by Xia Yuan and grabbed Xia Yuan’s cheeks and rubbed her face.

As they rubbed each other, they had already reached the door.

Xia Yuan’s body also began to emit a faint light.

“Well, it’s time to say goodbye, Alfon.”

Mei Fang rubbed his eyes and suddenly hugged Xia Yuan tightly.

“I’ll stay here with you, okay?”

“Huh, you forgot the note I left for you now?”

Xia Yuan slowly let go of Mei Fang’s arms, then pinched Mei Fang’s nose and kissed him gently.

“Stay with Youxi.”

“Otherwise, I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost, huhu.”

If you could be a ghost…

Mei Fang took a deep breath, knowing that this was not the time to talk about this anymore.

Xia Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his body gradually hidden by the light.

“Do you believe there are parallel worlds in this world, Alfon?”

“If I become a Buddha, maybe I can go to other worlds.”

“There must be a world where I grow up well, and there must also be a world where you and Youxi are together, and you and I are together.”

“Maybe there’s also a world line where the three of us start a family together.”

“But no matter which world line I am in, I will always like and love you the same way.”

“I will protect you forever—”

……

Under the shining light, Xia Yuan’s tearful smile has gradually turned into nothingness.

She smiled and waved goodbye to Mei Fang, who was no longer within her reach.

The thousand paper crane pendant on her chest was also flashing at this moment.

When he was completely pulled out by the gravity of the mirror world, there was a loud “bang” and Mei Fang lost consciousness.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Mei Fang woke up from his coma.

This is in my bedroom.

Lin Youxi pressed on him, holding his hand tightly, as if protecting him.
