Summary: Song Lan is used to silence.


Song Lan is used to silence. They often walked together without speaking, he and Xiao Xingchen, in a perfect understanding that needed no words. Xingchen laughed easily, his beautiful eyes alight.

Song Lan cannot bear to look at those eyes now, set in the face of a living corpse. I'm sorry, Xingchen. I have not taken care of your gift.

He wishes he could speak, to tell Xingchen what he feels. To tell poor brave A-Qing that she is safe.

Two swords on his back, two precious pouches tucked inside his robe. He will wait forever, to see Xingchen again.
