The ocean at night was without light, as silent as death. Shen Qianxue used to think that the ocean was the cradle of life and a vast world, but on this starless night, she felt the coldness from the ocean, as if this was the place where all life ended.
This will also be her end.
She walked step by step towards the depths of the sea, the sea water eroding her skin inch by inch. The bone-chilling sea water mechanically hit the coast, the salty smell of the sea water was suffocating, and she wanted to suffocate like this.
If your heart is completely cold, you won’t feel any pain anymore, right?
However, an abrupt voice interrupted Shen Qianxue: "Hey, if you are upset, don't choose this place. I don't want to be arrested by the police as a suspect the next day."
Shen Qianxue looked back blankly, and on the reef behind her, she saw a young man who had almost merged with the reef. The sea breeze blew the young man's fine hair, and Shen Qianxue could not see his face clearly.
The young man sitting on the big reef had been observing Shen Qianxue, observing the intruder, until he was sure that she was upset, and then he spoke.
"But living is so painful." Shen Qianxue lowered her eyes, and the hot liquid fell into the deep sea silently.
"It's right to be miserable. After all, comfort is for the dead." The boy spoke in a relaxed tone, but his eyes were fixed on the girl in front of him. She had long hair and a dress, and looked like a quiet girl. Who knew that she would be so depressed that she would walk into the sea?
The boy thought for a moment and changed the subject, "I saw on the news that there will be a Leonid meteor shower tonight. If you don't mind waiting for me to leave before jumping into the sea, why don't you come and wait for the meteor shower with me?"
"Don't you think it's romantic to watch a meteor shower before you die?" The young man continued to coax her. In fact, he was afraid that Shen Qianxue would not look back. After all, he couldn't swim, and if something really happened, he wouldn't be able to jump in to save her.
Shen Qianxue hesitated for a moment, and before she could figure out what was going on, she saw the young man reaching out his hand to her.
How blessed does a drowning person have to be to meet someone who is willing to lend a hand to rescue him?
As if being lured by that hand, Shen Qianxue stopped moving forward, walked to the reef, and held the hand that the boy extended.
Shen Qianxue was pulled onto the reef by the young man and sat down beside him.
This is a strange person, Shen Qianxue thought wildly. Suddenly, a coat was put on her. She was startled and looked up. The bright moonlight allowed her to see the boy next to her clearly. The sea breeze blew the boy's clothes into wrinkles. The moonlight was soft and the sea breeze was low. When their eyes met, Shen Qianxue saw the boy's eyes. Those eyes were darker than the night, but the light in them was far brighter than the sun.
People with such beautiful eyes must be full of hope, right?
Have you ever seen such a person? There is a familiar feeling about this person. Shen Qianxue was puzzled, but finally shook her head to deny it.
While Shen Qianxue was daydreaming, she heard the boy say, "My wish is to feel the sunshine. What about you? Do you have any wish? Don't tell me that your wish is for me to leave quickly so that you can continue what you were doing just now."
"Wish? I don't even know why I'm alive." Shen Qianxue lowered her head.
"Have you heard of photophobia?" The boy took a deep breath and continued, "Photophobia is also called porphyria, a disease that makes people unable to see the sun. I have congenital photophobia and cannot see the sun. It is easy to die if I go out during the day, and the death is very ugly."
The tone in which this person talked about "death" was very , but it was inexplicably persuasive, as if he had always been on the verge of death. Shen Qianxue stared at him blankly, and for the first time believed that maybe life would always be so painful.
"Don't think you can just jump into the sea and be washed away by the waves. Besides, if you soak in the sea for too long, you will get swollen, and there will be all kinds of fish coming to eat you. Just think about it..."
It seems that there are always people who find joy in misery. Shen Qianxue looked at the light in his eyes and felt relieved for the first time.
"Even though life is difficult, I still want to live well. There are still many things in this world that I have not seen, and many delicacies that I have not tasted. God wants me to come to this world, and I will not leave until I have had enough fun!" The young man lowered his head and smiled faintly, without saying anything else.
They didn't wait for the shooting star that night. Shen Qianxue just sat beside the boy until she got sleepy and fell asleep . When she woke up, the boy was gone. He didn't leave his name, but his appearance lit a bright light in her life.
Since you are not afraid of death, why should you be afraid of living?
