"Talking about running away... couldn't you use a more romantic term? Isn't 'elopement' a better term than running away?"
Chu Yutu stretched out his hand towards the infinitely extended sky, and gently grasped it.
"For a being born from the same DNA as me, I decided to give up everything - knowing that the future was hell, knowing that I would be thrown away like a rag and be despised, but I still stubbornly and madly took her away -"
Chu Yutu said softly, "Actually, I'm not quite sure. Can it be considered love? Or is it a narcissistic feeling?"
“Narcissism…?”
"Because no matter what, in the final analysis, it's still the same person. In other words, the one who made Chu Moyin fall in love at first sight was not someone else, but myself—or the phantom-like self. So until now, I still really want to know, who Chu Moyin likes, is it me—you, or the self who is different from myself, or even just a possibility?"
"..." Chu Shangli pondered for a moment: "If you let me answer——"
"Um?"
"I think all love is a kind of narcissism."
Chu Yutu's eyes wandered: "That's really an extreme statement——"
"Indeed..." Chu Shangli put his hand on his chest: "If you were me - or just knew me, then you should know that I once truly 'loved' Wei Shengfan..."
"Um……"
Chu Yutu's reaction was completely in line with Chu Shangli's predictions.
If Chu Yutu had been dazed or had a more distant reaction, Chu Shangli would have come to a different conclusion.
However, Chu Yutu's figure was just her back, but Chu Shangli could also feel the silence that had broken away from the familiarity -
When I was young, I could only look at my mother's back. When I grew up, I felt that it was nothing special.
The scenery that once rose above the horizon, surpassing everything around, is now nothing but emptiness—
However, Chu Shangli had no memory of his mother from the beginning - so the feeling he had was nothing more than that, and it was not towards his "mother", let alone the identity of "Chu Yutu".
That was probably a feeling about the future.
The glittering future that emerged in dreams—
It turns out that Ukisaka is just like that.
It feels light and unreal when you step on it, as if you can reach anywhere, but sometimes you will also feel like you are falling.
But I found that what was in the distance was just the same as this place, endlessly stretching dark tracks with no end in sight.
I see, the reason we chose this rooftop location is...
Chu Shangli narrowed his eyes slightly and took two steps forward.
No longer - looking at the back, but standing side by side with Chu Yutu.
"Ah—" She cried softly toward the windowless building—
Even though people have died here before, it is still a prosperous place——
I don't know why, but when I looked out the window, there was no one in sight.
Having obtained the same perspective as that figure, Chu Shangli had a new feeling——
It's really boring.
The troubles that trap you are actually destined to happen - you will be troubled by the same things no matter what, and the meaning of your joys, sorrows, anger and happiness will seem to be lost in an instant.
"Actually, what I like is the imaginary Wei Shengfan—in other words, my ideal type. I arbitrarily impose my own fantasies on someone. If this person wasn't a stranger, but my fiancé, wouldn't I be able to fall in love without having to worry about responsibilities..."
