Features: These days have been a continuous downpour of autumn rain. Although the green moss in the courtyard has suddenly added a touch of elegance, looking out through the window, we only feel the deep sorrow condensed in the sky, so low as if it seems to press down on our brows. Yi Ge sits with his hands crossed over his chest, closing his eyes in a leather chair by the window. His friend Shao Ya holds a novel in his hand, reading silently. The surroundings are extremely quiet, with only the occasional rustling of the wind through the green bamboo.
I stand by the window, watching the raindrops filled with mystery nourish the dry and withered world, and everything in it, even the red rose I love—the withered leaves of which now seem to hold a hint of green, smiling at me gracefully. However, my heart, unable to resist provocation, is drawn into the silent sorrow of the surroundings, stirring infinite longing.
