He first praised Fang Yao for being beautiful and gentle, then he said, "You should treat our Asuka well. Many girls pursued him back in school."

Fang Yao smiled and nodded.

The door to the dressing room closed, leaving only Fang Yao and me.

I asked, "The person in your heart..."

She said, "He died in a car accident."

Fang Yao gently wiped away the tears from my face and kissed me on tiptoe.

In the corner of my eye, that corner was already empty.
