“I know, you’re a couple.” The little girl’s ghost raised her index fingers and smiled as she held them side by side. “You’re a perfect match.”
Lin Feiran: “……”
This was bad! This child better not be a fujoshi in her next life!
“Big brother, goodbye.” The little girl’s ghost waved to Lin Feiran, then ran to the podium nimbly. Ms. Zheng had finished patrolling the classroom and had returned to her seat behind the podium. She was engrossed in writing something down.
The little girl’s ghost ran to Ms. Zheng’s side, nestled close, and placed a light kiss on Ms. Zheng’s cheek. With a smile she said, “Mom, I’m leaving.”
Lin Feiran saw Ms. Zheng pause her writing, as if she had felt something. With a perplexed expression, she raised her eyes and glanced around, then bent her head and returned to her work.
The little girl’s ghost took her rabbit plushie and doll out from under the podium, kissed them both, and placed them by Ms. Zheng’s feet, as if wanting her two companions to accompany her mother on her behalf.
After that, the little girl’s ghost walked out of the classroom, her footsteps light and carefree…
As Lin Feiran watched this scene with rapt attention, Gu Kaifeng was watching Lin Feiran. Seeing Lin Feiran fall into a daze with his cheeks a little red, Gu Kaifeng assumed his mind was running wild with dirty thoughts, and made a suggestive cough in the hopes of teasing him. But Lin Feiran did not so much as glance at him before suddenly getting up and walking quickly out of the classroom.
As he passed the podium, Lin Feiran whispered to Ms. Zheng, “Ms. Zheng, I’m going to the toilet.”
Ms. Zheng did not even raise her head. “Mm.”
Lin Feiran chased the little girl’s ghost out of the classroom. The little girl’s ghost was walking down the corridor without a looking back. Her legs were short and her steps were small; her pace was slow, but even though Lin Feiran was running, he could not catch up with her. She was always two or three meters ahead.
The little girl’s ghost skipped down the dark hallway, down the stairs, and out the school building’s front door…
It was unknown from where, but a woman’s ethereal voice was floating through the campus, singing the English carol ‘Silent Night’.
“Silent night，holy night，all is calm，all is bright……”
Under the illumination of the streetlights, the thin layer of freshly fallen snow seemed especially fluffy and pristine, as if moonlight had frozen solid upon a bank of clouds, only to shatter into fine white particles and scatter over the ground. The little girl’s ghost stepped barefoot in her dress into the snowy field, took several slow steps, then broke into a run. As she ran, her slender silhouette suddenly vanished into the wind, becoming one with the gently floating snowflakes that filled the entire sky, and disappeared from sight.
She had gone on to her next life.
On the pristine, untrodden snow, a set of small footprints remained.
Lin Feiran stood frozen in front of the school building, gazing at that set of footprints.
He remembered the day the mother cat had gone on to her next life. Lin Feiran’s Yin-Yang eyes were not open because Gu Kaifeng had kissed him, but at that moment, he had seen the outline of a cat and felt soft fur at his ankle, and even heard meowing.
Could it be that just before reincarnating, there was a moment when a spirit’s energy was especially strong and could influence the real world, just like how a living person on their deathbed might see their life flash before their eyes? Lin Feiran let his mind wander as he pondered this. The fine snow had moistened his eyelashes, and his face and hands were red with cold, but he did not feel the cold at all. He just stood in the doorway contemplating these things, staring intently at the set of footprints.
