No matter the joys and sorrows of the world, the rise and fall, success or failure, the moon would always shine fairly upon everyone.

Haiqing was lying on the bed. He was gazing at the moon outside the window, and he slowly felt that being immersed into it was no different than the past.

It was so annoying.

So confusing.

Haiqing had been feeling uneasy since he came home. Although his tears had stopped, his mood could not recover. He screamed loudly at Pinjun, cried and ran away from the campus, and locked himself up in his room after he went home without saying a word. All kinds of derailed behaviors made Haiqing feel powerless.

It seemed that everything was out of control today.

He was like a derailed train, unable to reverse a desperate situation. When he lost control of his life, he tried hard to turn the tide around, but he made things worse… Haiqing was very disgusted with his own behavior. On the contrary, he was more surprised at the enormous negative emotion that he did not spit out.

He was so tired.

He closed his eyes and slowly calmed down under the quiet and gentle moonlight. His body’s exhaustion finally forced his panic down, and his consciousness briefly fleeted under the embrace of the moon’s halo.

Haiqing slowly sat up and the frustration in his eyes became clear and bright.

He moved the easel from his studio into his room and the moonlight flowed in again after he closed the door. During the time when his consciousness fleeted away, a touch of beautiful and sad dark blue fell into his dream, and the excitement that filled his chest made him want to record it while the feeling was still deep.

He did not add pencil outlines anymore. Haiqing directly used paint on the canvas. He did not rely on the specifications of the outlines anymore. He painted the rouse inside his heart, reflecting the dark blue and the black that appeared intertwining in the depths of his eyes alternately, and finally mixing together.

Pinjun felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He looked at the dining area and after he saw that there were no guests. He took his phone out of his pocket and looked at it. I’m going to take the exam tomorrow. Would you like to come and cheer me on? I’m waiting for you at the shaved ice shop.

Just a few brief words had made Pinjun finally let go of the big stone in his heart. He looked at the time and there was still five minutes before his shift ends. He looked at the store manager and glanced at the dining area. Finally, he could not help but run to the store manager and said that he had an urgent matter so he wanted to leave work five minutes early. He would make it up tomorrow. The store manager had always been taking care of Pinjun as his younger brother. A trivial matter like this five minutes was certainly something that could be approved right away.

“Thank you, Store Manager!” Shouted Pinjun while rushing to the lounge. In less than a minute, he took off his uniform, grabbed his bag and jacket then ran out. His speed was so quick that it dumbfounded the store manager.
