"Yes, I will take good care of Kaixin." Guardian smiled and tucked the blanket around her again.
Feng Guang's complexion was not good; perhaps the words "emaciated" were the most fitting description for her. She had always been in good health, but this time she suddenly contracted a terminal illness. She thought that such a melodramatic plot must have been arranged by the system so that she could leave this world.
For seven years, she was cared for by him meticulously, and for seven years she was his human doll. Now, she finds that she no longer hates the Guardian. Every day, she only has one thing to look forward to: death.
It was autumn, and the leaves outside the window had turned yellow and withered. She didn't feel sad at all; instead, she breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time, she felt that death could also be a happy thing.
"What is Feng Guang thinking about?" Guardian wasn't used to her quietness, but lately, she had become increasingly reluctant to talk. No matter how many people she said she was going to kill or what bad things she was going to do, she wouldn't react.
Feng Guang smiled at him. "I was thinking, I'm about to be free, but Guardian, when will you be free?"
“I don’t need relief.” He held her in his arms and whispered, “I really enjoy the days when I have Fengguang by my side.”
In truth, he didn't understand what liking someone meant, just as he didn't understand what pain meant. Therefore, he couldn't comprehend her pain, and he presumptuously called this possessiveness "liking someone."
In fact, if a woman is willing to compromise with a man like this, she can definitely live a relaxed and happy life.
However, there are things she cannot compromise on.
Feng Guang leaned against him, weakly asking, "Guardian, do you know what regret is?"
"Regret... is the feeling of being unable to let go of things that were not done or things that were wrong in the past. I know what regret is."
Have you ever felt regret?
“No.” After a pause, he added, “If Fengguang wants me to regret it, then I will try my best to learn that feeling.”
“How foolish.” Feng Guang laughed and slowly said, “If you hadn’t killed so many people, hadn’t killed my father, Guardian, I think I would accept the fact that you are my brother and like you.”
A moment of bewilderment finally appeared in his eyes.
"But you killed my father, so... have you learned what regret is?" She asked the last question lightly.
He lowered his gaze slightly, landing on her face. "Suddenly, I don't want to understand this feeling anymore."
“Then you should never understand.” She closed her eyes, the last rays of the setting sun streaming in through the window and falling on her, making her face appear even paler. “Guardian, I want to sleep. This time, you don’t need to wake me.”
He suddenly asked, "What about Kaixin? She's still so young."
"It's okay, she'll grow up eventually..."
"You haven't seen the flowers we planted in front of the cabin yet."
"You look for me... those wildflowers must be so pretty..."
"And what about me?" He tightened his grip on her. "What am I supposed to do?"
"Live well..." Her voice trailed off, "You have endless life... You will meet many more people... Maybe zombies... But I will definitely not be among them..."
She let out a final breath, "It's so good...Guardian, I never have to face you again..."
As the sun set, the last bit of sunlight in the room dissipated.
Guardian held her quietly until, in the end, he could no longer hold onto even the last bit of warmth in her body.
He suddenly realized that perhaps he understood something about what regret was.
And he will need a long time to experience this feeling.
Those long years are probably beyond human imagination.
