Prologue

It seemed that she was lured by that hand, as Shen Qianxue stopped moving forward, walked to the side of the reef, and grasped the hand extended by the young man

This will also become her endpoint

In the midst of Shen Qianxue's wild thoughts, she heard the young man say: "My wish is to feel the sunlight. What about you? Do you have any wishes? Don't tell me your wish is for me to leave quickly so you can continue what you were doing just now"

"Don't you think that watching a meteor shower before you die is quite romantic?" The young man continued to coax, as he was actually afraid that Shen Qianxue would not turn back. After all, he could not swim, and if something really happened, he would be unable to jump in to save her.

It seems that there are always those who find joy amidst suffering. Shen Qianxue looked into his eyes and for the first time felt a sense of relief

The midnight ocean is devoid of light, as silent as death. Shen Qianxue once believed that the ocean was the cradle of life, a vast world, but on this starless night, she felt the coldness emanating from the ocean, as if this were the place where all life comes to an end

How fortunate must a drowning person be to encounter someone willing to extend a hand for rescue

But living is truly too painful. Shen Qianxue lowered her eyelids, and the scorching liquid fell into the deep sea, silently.

Shen Qianxue hesitated for a moment, her mind still not clear, when she saw the young man reaching out his hand towards her

However, a sudden voice interrupted Shen Qianxue: "Hey, if you can't figure it out, don't choose this place. I certainly don't want to be taken away by the police as a suspect the next day."

Even though living is difficult, I still want to live well. There are many things in this world that I have not seen, and many delicacies that I have not tasted. If heaven has brought me to this world, I will not leave until I have had my fill!" The young man lowered his head and smiled faintly, without saying anything more

"Pain is just right, after all, comfort is reserved for the dead." The boy's tone was relaxed, but his eyes were fixed on the girl in front of him. She had long hair and wore a dress, appearing to be a serene girl. Who would have thought she would lose her mind and walk into the sea?

The heart has grown cold, so perhaps it no longer feels pain

That night, they did not wait for the meteor. Shen Qianxue sat beside the young man until she grew drowsy and fell asleep resting on his shoulder. When she awoke, the young man had already vanished without leaving his name, yet his presence had lit a bright lamp in her life.

Shen Qianxue turned around in a daze and saw a boy who was almost integrated with the rocks behind him. The sea breeze tousled the boy's fine hair, and Shen Qianxue could never clearly see his face

The boy sitting on the large reef had been observing Shen Qianxue, watching this intruder, until he confirmed that she was in despair, before he finally spoke.

Do not think that by jumping into the sea, you will simply disappear with the waves. Moreover, if you stay submerged for too long, your body will swell, and various fish will come to eat you. Just think about it...

Since one is not afraid of death, why should one be afraid of living

A person with such beautiful eyes must surely be filled with hope

Shen Qianxue was pulled up onto the reef by the young man and sat down beside him

He was a strange person, and Shen Qianxue was lost in thought. Suddenly, a coat was draped over her shoulders, startling her. She looked up and, illuminated by the bright moonlight, she saw the young man beside her clearly. The sea breeze ruffled the young man's clothes, the moonlight was gentle, and the sea wind whispered softly. When their eyes met, Shen Qianxue saw the young man's eyes, which were darker than the night, yet the light within them far surpassed that of the sun

Have you heard of photophobia?" The young man took a deep breath and continued, "Photophobia, also known as porphyria, is a disease that prevents one from being exposed to sunlight. I suffer from congenital photophobia, which means I cannot be in the sun; going out during the day can be fatal, and the manner of death is quite gruesome.

This person speaks of "death" with a casual tone, yet there is an inexplicable persuasiveness to it, as if he has been on the brink of death for many years. Shen Qianxue stared at him in a daze, for the first time believing that perhaps life is always this painful

The young man thought for a moment and changed the subject, saying: "I saw in the news that there is a Leonid meteor shower tonight. If you don't mind waiting until I leave before throwing yourself into the sea, would you come over and wait for the meteor shower with me?"

Have you ever seen a person like this? There is a sense of familiarity about this person. Shen Qianxue felt puzzled in her heart, but ultimately shook her head in denial

"Desire? I don't even know why I am alive." Shen Qianxue lowered her head

She walked step by step into the depths of the sea, the water eroding her skin inch by inch. The bone-chilling sea water mechanically crashed against the shore, the salty and fishy smell of the sea was suffocating, and she just wanted to suffocate like this
