The Words on the Paper

"Xiao Jun, we have some things that we need to tell you."

Gu Jun's wavering consciousness was floating in the darkness. A barely discernible female voice was guiding him forward. It was his mother. The image before him became clearer. It was his childhood home—the warm living room, the sofa, the television, the fridge and the potted plants. Gu Jun remembered this as the last day he had with his parents before they went out to the sea. At the time, he was less than ten. After that, he was kicked out of his own home and was sent to the orphanage. According to legend, before a person died, they would see the scene that planted the most regret in their heart.

A very tall man and a woman with long hair stood there. Their faces were hidden behind a layer of blurriness. Gu Jun managed to capture some details that had escaped the younger version of himself. There appeared to be some fear in their mannerisms.
