Description
Zhao Mu was tapping on the window again. Li Yu opened his eyes, it was exactly midnight. One tap after another, this young man, Zhao Mu, who studied music has always had a special sense of rhythm. One long, one short, like he was trying to convey a message, Li Yu was dazed for a moment then closed his eyes in silence, tears rolled down the corner of his eyes and landed silently on the pillow, leaving a faint mark. “I love you, too.” He whispered, “I love you, too.”

My Thoughts on The Old Photo
"The Old Photo" is a short story that packs a serious emotional punch. Diving into it, I knew I was in for a ride, and it definitely delivered on its promise of psychological depth and tragic romance. This isn't a light read, but if you're prepared to feel deeply, it's an experience you won't easily forget.
First Impressions
Right from the start, the atmosphere is heavy with foreshadowing. The story immediately hints at the darkness to come, and that sense of impending doom really hooked me. I found myself constantly anticipating what would happen next, even though a part of me dreaded finding out.
What Works Well
The writing style is undeniably beautiful. It's almost poetic in its delivery, and I found myself captivated by the way the author uses language to convey such intense emotions. The exploration of obsessive love and its devastating consequences is particularly well done. The story delves into the complexities of abusive relationships, showing how love and obsession can become twisted and intertwined. I was moved by the MC's plight, trapped in a cycle of affection and torment, even beyond the grave. It paints a haunting picture of how deeply past trauma can affect a person's choices and perceptions. The pacing works incredibly well for the length of the story, ensuring that every scene has an impact.
