Feng Guang asked in a mixed tone, "Do you really have to disappear?"
"You can't bear to part with me?" He smiled weakly, but with all his strength he could still raise his hand and flick her nose with his index finger, just like any little gesture between lovers.
She suddenly felt a pang of sadness. "I still can't accept it... In my eyes, you are you, and An Yi is An Yi. You are two people, two individuals. Even if it's an inevitable trend for you to merge into one, no matter which one devours the other, what difference is there between the one that disappears and death?"
"Then are you willing to let An Yi disappear?"
"I..." She couldn't answer.
His smile held a hint of melancholy as he spoke in a sorrowful tone, "Even the most successful person can be jealous of themselves. I often wonder why I inherited that bloodthirsty instinct. If the roles were reversed, and you had met me first, would you like me more now?"
"I don't know... I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize, it's not your fault." He lowered his head weakly, pressed his forehead against hers, and said helplessly, "This is probably what they call fate. Even if we are the same person, what does it matter? From the day we existed as two people, our fates were different. He will be liked and admired by you, while I... will be feared and hated by you."
"Don't say anymore... Maybe, maybe I can go to An Yi and ask him not to devour you, okay?" She spoke in a pleading tone, even though she knew in her heart that this suggestion was completely unfeasible.
"You don't understand. The more I hate him, the more he hates me. We are destined to have only one dominant one. The strong devours the weak, and in the end, the whole body is achieved. Only then will the man who both loves you and wants to kill you appear in his whole form."
Feng Guang was bewildered and helpless. "Then tell me... what should I do? All I know is that my boyfriend is An Yi, and you are the one who wants to kill me. When you two become one person, will that person... still be the person I know?"
"Don't panic," he comforted softly. "No matter how things change, my love for you will never change."
Naturally, that extreme obsession is also impossible to change.
His eyes gradually lost their strength to open. "Fengguang, just be yourself. Being swallowed up by him doesn't mean I'll disappear..."
"You...you mustn't die..."
He smiled one last time, gently pressing his lips to hers, utterly helpless. "I told you, I won't die, I'm just returning... When we meet again, you'll see the complete me..."
"Wait... don't fall asleep. I still have many questions to ask you, and there are still many things I don't understand. Open your eyes..."
As she mourned, his body grew increasingly transparent, finally dissipating like mist. He lost his embrace and sat gracefully on the ground, and her eyes welled up with tears.
He simply vanished, leaving no proof of his existence. Even at the very end, she didn't know what to call him. An Yi, on the other hand, always had a name she had given him, but he... he had nothing.
Feng Guang felt depressed and uncomfortable.
"Don't be sad."
That pleasant and familiar voice seemed to arrive as promised. She turned around blankly, her vision blurred because her eyes were wet, but even without seeing clearly, she knew who the man was.
"Fengguang, isn't that why I've come to see you?" He smiled beautifully, his gentle eyes concealing a hidden darkness, possessing a captivating charm.
