life is a bi**h
Sunday, 7pm
Moonshine Hotel
A wedding reception is ongoing. A happy bride, a happy groom, their families with smiles all over their faces and guests with pleasing smiles. In the balcony, there's a lone figure standing with a champagne glass in her light purple dress, staring in the sky.
"You shouldn't be drinking."
A pleasant male voice rang out.
Turning her head, she saw the boy in grey suit standing against the pillars.
"What are you doing here?"
she asked without much interest.
"Wasn't interested in their fake show."
"Then why did you come to the wedding in the first place?"
"Well, I was bored. Thought seeing you could relive my boredom.''
''Not worth it, Levi. I am tired. Really.''
''I don't wanna argue with you again right now. You know Evie, sometimes I really wish the start could be rearranged.''
''Levi, live a good life. I really wish you could find someone who would love you wholeheartedly.''
''I'm not interested in your crap either.''
''Forget it. Remember to bury me before they get to know. I don't wanna be dirty when I'm dead.''
''It's easy for you to do all this, right. Leaving me when I need you to stay beside me.''
she doesn't reply to him. Because they both knew the answer very clearly. Since it would only worsen the mood, why mention...
Life is a b***h and it's not the first day she realized it.
''Tell me, would they shed a tear of guilt hearing about me? Or pretend to be kind and whatsoever?''
''You know clearly why bother asking?''
he muttered unhappily.
''Levi, I also wish we met in different circumstances and in different identities.''
''Eve, do you have to end it this way?''
''It's less painful. I don't like pain.''
A silent sigh escaped from him. Life is really a b***h who played with him too.
''Let's go. I will drop you off.''
They both walked out by the back door. Less people, less trouble. Levi took Every to the parking lot. They got into a black porsche and drove out.
''Can't you rethink about the surgery?''
His hand was tightened in the steering wheel as if the last chance of survival leaving him.
''We are done with this topic.''
''But I don't want to give up!''
suddenly he lost his cool shouting at her.
''Even if there is 1% chance of success I wanna try. Please don't say no. I am begging you.''
She looked at his pain filled eyes. Touching his cheek as if to soothe a wounded beast she gave a light smile.
''I wish I could. Don't make do something I don't want to. For the first time, let me make my decision.''
''I am nothing to you, aren't I?''
''No. I free you from the feeling of helplessness. And freeing myself from the Abyss. I am sorry.''
''Sometimes I wondered if we met in different circumstances, would we be able to stay beside each other happily?''
''Yes.''
''Then let's swear that if we get a second chance, you will fall in love with me first and wait for me to remember you.''
''That's childish. Go! Go home.

''Every! Every! Wake up! Your dad is leaving. Go quickly! ''
''Where's dad going? I wanna go, too.''
''You can't go. So let's say goodbye to dad, shall we? ''
''ok!''
the little child, about 6 years old, squeezed people to get into her parents' room where she saw her dad sleeping in the bed.
''Didn't you say dad was leaving, but he is sleeping. ''
the little girl went to her dad and called him to wake him up, but no matter how much she called, he didn't wake up.
''Every, Dad left us forever. Let's bid him goodbye, okay.''
''But he is right here. Where could he go? He is just sleeping, not answering me.''
''Dad! Dad!''
''Dad, wake up! Dad.''
''Dad, wake up, okay? I will be a good girl. I won't disturb you anymore. Please wake up. ''
''Dad!''
''Dad!''
''Uhh.....''
With a sudden scream, every woke up. She keeps inhaling air to calm herself down. It took her a few minutes to finally calm down. when she looked around, she saw herself in a bed tucked in a blanket.
"Another nightmare..."
the phone on her nightstand was ringing nonstop.
"What is it, Levi? Better be something important. "
"Check weibo you are in headlines."
"What?"
