The sky was not as clear today as it used to be. The entire sky was a dull gray. The entire city was covered by a thin layer of fog, as if it was an undisputable melancholy, causing one's heart to be filled with a haze.

Ming Xi wandered aimlessly on the streets, looking at the streets filled with people and carriages. She stopped at the zebra crossing.

One person stood silently on the street, watching the red light on the street turn into a green light, then from green light to red light... Looking at the streets filled with people, they all dispersed, then gathered again, then dispersed … She was the only one standing still.

It was unknown when a light drizzle had begun to fall from the sky. Ming Xi stood expressionlessly on the street like a puppet, quietly standing on the street, allowing the drizzle to wet her hair and clothes. She didn't know what she was waiting for or what she was looking forward to, but her heart felt empty in that instant, as if it were missing something. Empty...

Not only did her heart become empty, even her mind became empty as well! She stood on the street, looking at the Lion Crossroads in front of her. She was at a loss, a complete loss. She didn't know where to go now!

Ming Xi looked at the tall building on the opposite side of the street. Slowly, she raised her head and saw that the top of the building was directly facing the gray sky. Looking at it, she actually thought of something Xue Qi had once told her.

She used to like to stand up high and look down on the city. She said she could see what she wanted as long as she stood up high. She said that as long as she could stand up high, she would receive the attention of tens of thousands of people. She liked the feeling of being looked up to by others.

— So every time she and I go to a city, we build her the tallest building.

— I like to see her smile as she stands on the top floor and sees the view of the whole city. It was like a look, and it warmed my heart; it was like honey, and it made me feel sweet. But, I can't see it anymore … As she thought about it, her eyes began to hurt.

Did you build this tall building for her? You remember her with a high-rise, you miss her, you miss her, and — What would you miss me for?

Will you think of me from now on? Do you remember me? Do you miss me?

The rain was pouring down, and it was getting heavier and heavier...

Ming Xi's vision blurred, but she didn't know if it was the rain that blurred her vision, or her own tears. Perhaps it was the result of both the rain and the tears …

Ming Xi was staring at the building, staring at it. Because she couldn't see the building clearly, she kept staring at it. It was as if he had built the building for her, if she just stared at it, and she didn't expect him to build it for her. She just wanted him to remember her occasionally when he was bored.

She wasn't greedy. As long as she could leave a mark in his heart, even if it was only the size of a grain of rice, she would be satisfied.
