Summary
This wasn’t supposed to happen.
He did not mean to do this, never meant for this to happen; he only ever meant to question Xue Yang, delay him, give A-Qing a head start. And now Shuanghua is buried deep within Xue Yang’s sternum, where it has caused enough damage that his life-blood is now running hot down the cold steel blade, past the guard and over Xiao Xingchen’s fingers.
“Xue Yang-” He barely recognises his own voice saying the name; a demand, a plea, a breath in the wind. “Xue Yang, you-”- - -
When the confrontation with Xue Yang doesn't go according to plan, Xiao Xingchen finds himself faced with an impossible choice - to heal his sworn enemy, or to let his friend and companion of three years die. Tormented by guilt and regret, as well as the rambled confessions of a fever-ridden Xue Yang, Xiao Xingchen slowly begins to piece together the truth of his life in Yi City, and tries to find a way forward.
