The suffocating smell of blood coursed through Lu Guang's nose, he was desperately attempting to ignore the growing uneasiness in his body.
He felt as if someone was grabbing his throat and choking him. He wanted to look away, rip out his eyes and throw them somewhere far away.
But here he was, frozen.
Frozen to the scene of his friend bleeding out in his arms.
Why him?
Why always him?
All the misfortune in the world were as if being pulled towards him. From his parents death, to being a loner in school, then you and now.... This.
If given the chance, he would gladly take Cheng Xiaoshi's place. He would die for him.
But at this moment all he could do was desperately hold him, fearing if he didn't he might just slip away from his arms.
Cheng Xiaoshi dull eyes looked up at his friend, with all the red splattered across his abdomen he still had a smile on his face.
"Lu Guang..." he softly uttered, his voice was slowly dying away.
"Thank you... For being my friend, you truly my most cherished person... " he breathed out as Lu Guang held him tighter.
"... Don't blame yourself for this Lu" he gave him a struggling smile as he put his hand on the one Lu guang was holding him with.
"Qiao Ling.. For all the times I have acted like a brat... I am sorry" he laughed softly but then coughed out blood.
"please save everyone Lu..."
The blood seeps through the white shirt worn by Lu Guang, it's sight causing him more pain.
"A-and... " his voice was slowly dying out, like a candle losing it's flame. Lu Guang wanted to stop his pain, but all he could do was listen.
"... Tell (Y/N) that even if I said I didn't.." he looked up at Lu Guang his eyes shining with warmth one last time.
