Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Xingguang had lunch with a group of his friends who participate in horse racing. After drinking a bit of wine, he drifted off into sleep for half an hour.
A little rmaid tail leisurely swam into his dream…
The bathtub in his dream was neither too big nor too small. The rmaid tail
was splashing about, seeming rather distressed, it looked like it was unsatisfied with the size of the bathtub.
However, it was truly a beautiful sight. The rmaid tail, in shimring shades of gold and blue with hints of pearlescent white, was gently moving in the bathtub. Under the light, it looked like a delicate little feather, caressing his heart bit by bit…
It was as if the tail hadn’t noticed him there in the bathroom, it was still in a situation of discontent.
“l wish I could return to the sea, swim freely at night under a sky full of stars. Even a big swimming pool would do, with a starlight roof, making feel like I am in the ocean…
In his dream, he vividly saw the rmaid tail lifted up, with countless tiny droplets of water cascading down like a curtain…
He could not resist reaching out to touch the rmaid tail, only to have it abruptly turn and fan him with a flick in the face.
He reached out to grab it again, but the rmaid turned her face towards him in annoyance.
He could clearly see her face, small as his palm, covered in tears…
He heard her crying in his dream. At first, her crying was vague, however, as the dream beca more intense, her cry beca increasingly real, pulling at his heartstrings. He wanted to wipe away her tears, but before his hand could reach her, it was swatted away…
He wished to console her by offering the most beautiful things in the world, but she only cried harder.
The more she cried, the more anxious he beca, until he couldn’t bear it any longer.
She was still crying, while she was crying, she said, “Let go! Let go! Even if all n in the world were to die, I would never fall in love with you. Let go, and stop touching my tail!”
“Master Qing, Master Qing?”
Ye Xingguang was abruptly woken from his dream. As he opened his eyes, Fu Zhuo’s face, up close and personal, had replaced the small face streaked with tears.
“Master Qing, what happened? You were… you were crying?”
Though Ye Xingguang was awake, he was still entrapped by the mood of his dream. At Fu Zhuo’s words, he reached up to touch the corner of his eye unconsciously, feeling a wet substance. Were these tears from the rmaid tail in his dream?
“Master Qing, what kind of dream did you have that made you… cry?” Fu Zhuo could hardly believe his eyes.
If he didn’t see it himself, the tears trickling down from the corners of Ye Xingguang’s eyes as he slept, he would have thought he was hallucinating. If not for this, he wouldn’t have had the courage to wake him up.
“Master Qing, are you alright?”
Ye Xingguang sat up from the couch, his expression returning to its usual impassive calm after so ti. Then he got up and walked towards the washroom, lazily throwing over his shoulder, “I might have sothing in my eye. Arrange an appointnt with an ophthalmologist when you get a chance.’
Walking into the bathroom, closing the door behind him, he stood in front of the glass basin. Once out of sight, the splendid face of Ye Xingguang gradually darkened.
He stood in front of the mirror, enduring the dull ache in his heart, he mulled over the words, “So even if all n in the world were to die, she would still not fall in love with ? Then Ye Xingguang, why would you bother ?”
I don’t want… to make you cry anymore.
1 don’t want…
to feel helpless in regards to you.
And most of all…
I don’t want to yield to the feelings that I had barely managed to contain..
