“Is it raining?” But even though the sky was cloudy, there were no signs of rain.

  The painter looked at the drawing paper again. He had not yet begun to paint the girl’s face, and the location of the teardrop was exactly where he wanted to draw.

  The painter began to describe the girl’s eyes along the outline of this tear, slowly sketching attentively, as if to hide all his feelings in the painting.

  From lines to pictures, and from pictures to colors, the girl’s face was revealed little by little in his works and coincided with Song Xiao beside him.

  And this photo also matched up the person in his heart.

  The next night, Ye Sui came to fetch the painting. She glanced at Song Xiao first. Her body had become frail, and she was going to disappear soon.

  The painter handed the picture to Ye Sui. “Sorry, I arbitrarily added a background of falling into the water.”


  Ye Sui looked at Song Xiao, who nodded, tears hidden in her eyes. She said, “I’m delighted.”


  When Ye Sui left, Song Xiao followed her. When they were in a remote place, Ye Sui handed the painting to her.

  Song Xiao touched the painting with great care and whispered, “He remembers that I saved him. Although he does not know who it is, this is already enough for me.”


  As Song Xiao smiled, the tears fell from her eyes. “He paints so well that I didn’t even know I could look so good.”


  Her life was too painful, and only he made her feel that she really existed in this world.

  “Have you ever thought of telling him your thoughts?” Ye Sui asked, and thinking that she will leave soon, perhaps……

  Song Xiao shook her head. “When I was alive, I was very humble. Even when I became a ghost, I still failed like this. I’m too cowardly, so I’d better not disturb him.”


  Her secret love has been planted in her heart like a seed from a long time ago. By the time she realized it, the unrequited love had already grown into a big tree, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and could not be separated from her life anymore.

  He was so excellent that she only dared to approach him cautiously when she became a ghost and when he could not see her.

  She did not dare to imagine how he would react when he knew what she liked him. Just leave it like that: a permanent secret, buried deep in her heart.

  Ye Sui remained silent, knowing that Song Xiao did not dare to tell her feelings easily because she loved him with all her heart. Even if she was going to die, this feeling would never be mentioned.

  Ye Sui’s mood suddenly turned sad. She took a bite of her lips and said nothing.

  Perhaps the wish has been fulfilled as Song Xiao’s body gradually became transparent. Her face was still so beautiful, but she was getting paler and paler, and her body was slowly vanishing.

  Song Xiao’s facial expression was relaxed, and she was smiling. She looked at Ye Sui and said sincerely, “Thank you.”


  At the last moment before Song Xiao left, she looked back at the painter and smiled. When she disappeared, the painting fell from the air and landed leisurely on the ground.

  The painter was still painting by the lake, unaware that there would no longer be a girl watching him intently when he paints anymore.

  His mind suddenly blanked for a moment, his heart feeling empty, as if something dear had been lost.

  The painter looked at the lake and remembered the girl who had saved him. He murmured, “Where are you?”


  The reason why he came here to paint was that he hoped to meet that girl one day.

  But Song Xiao would not know what was in his heart since she had completely disappeared. Song Xiao had no idea that the guy she had a crush on also thought of her silently.

  On the other side, Ye Sui crouched down to pick up the painting from the ground. She was thinking about things in her heart and moving slowly. She held out her hand and was about to touch the art.

  But then, a slender hand reached in front of her and took a step to pick up the paper. Ye Sui also straightened up and reached out to the painting handed by Chen Shu.

  Ye Sui took the paper and did not look up. She just gazed at the beautiful girl in the picture, and when she remembered that Song Xiao had just disappeared in front of her, she felt her heart was blocked.

  Ye Sui bowed her head as she called out in a low voice. “Chen Shu.”
