Shangguan Muqing was nearing her end. Before leaving this world, she made one last visit to the clinic to see Su Qinglin. Holding his hand, her voice was faint.
"Su Qinglin, you must live on."
"As long as you survive, it means I am still alive."
"I will watch over you from above."
Su Qinglin cried. Shangguan Muqing smiled and wiped away his tears.
"Su Qinglin, don’t cry."
"You need to be brave."
"I am about to leave."
"I am going to find my place of freedom."
Su Qinglin wept uncontrollably. After Shangguan Muqing's departure, he underwent a heart transplant. The surgery was successful, and he survived. Yet he would never forget that it was Shangguan Muqing who had given him the courage and hope to continue living.
After the heart transplant, he could feel his new heart beating with vigor. One beat, two beats, three beats. Strong and steady. He knew that this heart belonged to Shangguan Muqing. But she was no longer here.
Shangguan Muqing's parents handed a letter and a notebook to Su Qinglin. The letter was meant for him; it was her farewell note. In the letter, Shangguan Muqing wrote: "Su Qinglin, by the time you read this letter, I will have passed away."
"Actually, I am not afraid of death."
"I just worry about you."
"After I leave, no one will be here to talk to you."
"But that's okay; you still have your parents, and I have mine."
"You can take my heart as me and continue living."
"If you live for me, then I can be by your side forever."
"I regret not fulfilling my wishes, and I hope you can complete them for me."
"Your heart is mine, and my heart is also mine, so fulfilling my wishes is something you should do."
"I have a wish list written in that notebook."
"You must complete it in order; no peeking or skipping ahead."
"I will never leave you; I will watch over you from above."
"Su Qinglin, you must be brave."
"You must live on."
After reading the letter, Su Qinglin was in tears.
He missed Shangguan Muqing dearly.
He gazed out the window.
Outside, a bright moon hung in the sky.
The moon was bright and gentle, just like Shangguan Muqing's smile.
Su Qinglin cried, tears streaming down his face.
He picked up the thick notebook and opened to the first page.
The first page read: "Study at the academy."
Su Qinglin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Shangguan Muqing, don't worry."
"I will definitely fulfill your wishes."
From that day on, Su Qinglin disguised himself as a woman, taking the name Su Muqing, and studied at the academy.
He planned to live as a "woman" until all the wishes were fulfilled.
This was his promise to Shangguan Muqing.
It was also his promise to Shangguan Muqing. For Shangguan Muqing, he was willing to do this. For Shangguan Muqing, he had to do this.
Su Qinglin looked at himself in the mirror. Every frown and smile resembled Shangguan Muqing so much. It felt as if he could see Shangguan Muqing alive, standing right in front of him. He seemed to see Shangguan Muqing smiling at him.
"Shangguan Muqing, don't worry."
"I will help you fulfill your last wish."
"I won't let Xiao Wanyi affect you."
I pulled Su Qinglin behind me, patting my chest in assurance.
"Lin Changzhe, thank you."
"You're welcome."
From that moment on, I became Su Qinglin's friend. After graduating from high school, Su Qinglin's identity and Shangguan Muqing's will became their secret. Su Qinglin went to a academy in the capital, while I successfully topped the Imperial Examination and entered Hanlin Academy.
We parted ways, but we agreed that once Su Qinglin fulfilled all his wishes, we would reunite in the capital.
Five years later.
Classmates from the academy gathered in the capital.
Su Qinglin appeared before everyone as a charming talent. Everyone was left speechless.
He explained why he was dressed as a woman and apologized to everyone. As soon as Su Qinglin entered, he spotted me. After many years apart, Su Qinglin had grown taller, but he was still half a head shorter than me.
"Su Qinglin, congratulations."
"From today on, you can be yourself."
Su Qinglin shook her head.
"No, I am still Su Muqing."
"Shangguan Muqing will always be in my heart."
"Just like the bright moon in the sky."
I smiled.
"Shangguan Muqing is truly an interesting girl."
"I really want to get to know her."
"Lin Changzhe, thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for helping me."
"And thank you for understanding me."
"No need for thanks."
"However, I am quite curious."
"How do you manage to stand outside every time it rains?"
Su Qinglin smiled.
"Because I promised her."
"She said that when it rains, I must stand outside."
"She said those raindrops are her way of talking to me from the sky."
Lin Changzhe looked at the bright moon above and smiled slightly.
"I see."
"Then next time, I'll go out and stand too, to see what she has to say to me."
"Su Muqing, you wouldn't mind, would you?"
Su Qinglin smiled.
"Of course not."
"I believe Shangguan Muqing wouldn't mind either."
