Cry

"Dao... zhang...?" Xue Yang called as he knelt beside Xiao Xingchen. "Daozhang...? Daozhang..." he called as he shook his shoulder. The bright red liquid flowing out of Xiao Xingchen's throat now flowed on his knees yet he didn't care. "Daozhang... daozhang...!" He called, shaking his (XXC) shoulder. "Why aren't you answering? Talk to me. Answer me. Talk to me..." he called.

Yet, Xiao Xingchen didn't answer. He can't.

"You're... dead, too?" Xue Yang asked as he stopped shaking Xiao Xingchen's shoulder. He looked at his face which still imprinted anguish. His face is tear-stained with red. "Oh. You died. You're dead. You're dead now, too. Haha." He laughed as he put his blood-stained hand which held Xiao Xingchen's shoulder on his forehead. He laughed. "Daozhang... ah, daozhang, ah... you're dead... your whole family's dead! Hahahahaha..." he doubled over the floor, clutching his stomach. "Aaaah... daozhang... you - " he said. But, before he could continue and he felt something wet touched his cheeks. But, it's coming from the corner of his eyes. "... huh?" He said and raised his hand that still has blood and touched his cheek. Something transparent and wet mixed with the blood. "... what's this?" He said and looked at Xiao Xingchen. He saw something glistened on his cheek and he touched it. It's the same as what have fell from his eye. "..." he don't understand. More, since more of those transparent liquid fell from his cheeks, overlapping each other. "What the hell is this...?" he asked, though he knew in his heart what are they. His dead heart... he thought that was dead yet now became alive, only to feel that unbearable pain again. "Daozhang..." he called, his voice low as he held Xiao Xingchen's cheek. His body gone cold and the blood is flowing non-stop.

So this what you call 'cry'. He has long forgotten it, and how to do it. You cry... coz you were hurt. You cry... coz you are sad. You cry... coz you feel pain. And... you call one's name as you cry... in order for them to hear you and come back. Daozhang... I think I -

I'll be calling your name, too, as I cry from now on.
