Lately, there has been an unusual silence between us, and neither of us wants to be the first to break this awkward and inexplicable atmosphere. And I also don't understand what this close to depressed emotion in my heart is all about.
He turned and smiled at me, looking pleased with himself.
...He definitely misunderstood something!
I'm not convinced, so I picked up another stone and threw it again--
Hmm, a couple more times.
A burst of cheerful laughter suddenly erupted, causing me to glare in his direction involuntarily.
He couldn't help but chuckle, just as he was about to show off his skills in skipping stones.
"Um...sorry, I want to cross the river..."
I put down my empty hand in silence and turned to look at the two of them.
Hearing the question, Jay just awkwardly smiled and replied, "What about you? How come you're here?"
"I..." was about to answer, Xiao Long then realized how foolish the question was, and awkwardly raised his hand to scratch his head.
"Well... I guess I died of illness, after all, all my organs had failed, there was no way to save me. Although it's also related to getting older!" He talked about his death without any taboo. "But, at least I passed away with my family by my side, so it's not too regretful. How about you?"
"I..." Jay was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.
"How have you been?" Xiao Long playfully punched his chest in mock anger. "Seriously, you're such a recluse! Not reaching out to people is one thing, but you don't even use social media. Your accounts are usually as inactive as if they were never created. It's harder to find out about your life than it is to reach the sky!"
"…It's nothing, just the same as usual," Jay smiled bitterly. "Anyway, it's not like it's a big deal. There's no need to make a big announcement to the world."
"You always say that, but then you didn't even let us know when you died. At least let us send you off properly..." Xiao Long couldn't help but mutter in complaint, then nervously added, "Oh, by the way, I remember you weren't married, right? It seems like you're the only one left in your family... Did anyone know when you passed away?"
"....Yes."
"Oh, that's good then. At least there's still someone to see you off... Why are you still here?" Xiao Long asked curiously. "Weren't you here before me? Why haven't you boarded the ship yet?"
At the moment the boat left the riverbank, Xiao Long suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around to wave at him vigorously.
"Goodbye, Jay! I'm really glad I got to see you one last time!"
