If I'd lose all my demons, I would lose all my angels . . .

Wang Yibo's POV
"Lu Lu?" A voice whispered in the darkness as a faint voice hummed back in response.
"Yes, A-Bp?" Someone gave a soft squeeze in my hand, holding it with warmth and care.
"I am afraid," I said, the words tumbling from my lips like they were placed on my lips to be said; I didn't even know what I was going to say next, so I waited.
"For what, Bo Bo?" The voice came from a girl; her voice was like music to my ear, soft and pleasant, featherlight.
"It's too dark, Lu Lu, aren't you afraid?" She chuckled lightly.
"But A-Bo, I am too fond of the night sky to be afraid; after all, only in the dark, the stars can shine; without darkness, how would stars shine high?" I felt my body shrug as she cuddled closer to me, her warmth against mine, comfortable.

I turned around in my ashes when I realized I had lost Xuan Lu from my eyes; looking around, she was nowhere to get seen, but Zhoucheng and I were still playing on the swing set, careless of what was happening.
Before I understood what happened, I was running, my legs carrying me over the grass as I walked towards the most nearby building on my instinct, calling out for Xuan Lu.
But of course, she couldn't hear me, neither could anyone see me, as the people I passed just went through me like I was air.
"Xuan Lu!" I screamed, but not heard as my heartbeat like a madman when I turned around it was as if the world was spinning under my feet, she was nowhere to be fou-
