Lin Yuzi turned around and saw Su Lixian, who had not stood up for a long time, and stood up uncharacteristically. Su Lixian was in good spirits today, and even his face was rosy, which was surprising.

"What are you doing up?" Lin Yuzi wanted her to continue resting.

"Huahua." Su Li smiled first.

She picked up the stone on the ground, walked closer to the mountain wall step by step, and began to carve something, her movements trembling, like a dying old man.

She cared very seriously and her eyes were very bright.

Lin Yuzi took a closer look and saw that Su Li was painting with stones.

Simple flower trees, blooming roses, green vines climbing all over the steps. Then, there are stick figures, colleagues from the institute, driver Master Liu, Aunt Wang in the cafeteria, security guards Master Chen, Master Wu...

It seemed as if Zurich was using the last moments of her life to write her life on the stone wall with the simplest paper and pen.

"This is a rose?" Lin Yuzi asked softly.

"Well. Wen Sheng has liked roses since he was a child."

"Is this green vine?"

"Yeah. Chongping likes it."

"The painting is beautiful."

"For the roses and the green vines, you have to live, okay? Yuzi. You will tell everyone that winter is not eternal. This is not the heroism of one person, this is the future built by all the fire bearers."

and hope.”

"The same to you."

"..."

Su Lixian looked at Lin Yuzi with a look that was difficult for Lin Yuzi to understand.

Finally, Su Lixian used her trembling hands to hold the stone and carve out the last three people. She drew these three people very seriously and they were not just simple stick figures.

The man wearing a police hat has an upright posture and a warm smile.

The woman in a white coat holds a harp in her hand, tracing the strings with her fingers, looking at the young man in the center.

A young man in school uniform held a fat orange cat in his arms. His face was cheerful, without a trace of gloomy smile.

They exist on the stone wall, in this dark cave. A family of three and a cat are all smiling. It seems that in the far, far future, there will really be good things, and maybe they can all be happy.

"Click."

The stone made a fragile sound.

Su Li vomited a mouthful of blood first and slowly fell forward. The blood she spit out stained the stone wall, staining the painting with blood.

Lin Yuzi immediately hugged her, like hugging a piece of ice that was about to melt.

Zu Lixian's mental energy has passed.

She became weak again, even weaker than before.

"Yuzi, promise me... one thing." Su Lixian gasped.

Lin Yuzi hugged her and just shook his head.

She really wanted to agree to Su Lixian, but there was a voice in her heart that repeatedly warned her - she can't agree to Su Lixian, you know what she wants to ask for.

impossible.

"There are... some last wild fruits in the cave. They... will be used up, and there are not many of them." Su Lixian said intermittently: "Before... we had been saving on eating. But, the two of us... are

If it’s not enough, we’d better keep one person alive until... we take the special medicine out, do you... understand what I’m saying?"

Lin Yuzi said nothing.

She understands. Of course she understands what Su Lixian means.

but……

"..."

Su Li lowered her head first, smoothed Lin Yuzi's messy hair, brushed off the dust on Lin Yuzi's body, and picked up the lipstick in her pocket - this was what she kept on her body every day and could be used when attending some occasions.

She put lipstick on Lin Yuzi's chapped and white lips, like a smear of blood in the snow.

"do not move."

Her voice is very low.

"... Yuzi, I want to see you, beautiful."

Don't refuse my request, you have to live well.

I want to remember your beautiful appearance in my mind.

I want to take advantage of my last chance to shine and do the last thing I want to do.

Draw, sing, and give you a beautiful make-up.

Let me not forget it even after I die.

In the dark cave, only a ray of morning light shone through the gap around the two of them. Lipstick was smeared on the lips, painting them with bright colors.

Their eyes revealed an incomprehensible calmness, as if they were not the ones who were about to die.

No one spoke, as if the soul had briefly escaped from this claustrophobic cave and entered a dawn that had not yet come.

Until Su Li spoke first.
