"You don't need to repay me," Lin Xian said softly.
"How can that be?"
In the moonlight, CC looked at the back of Lin Xian's head:
"I have to... do something for you. You've done so much for me, fulfilled so many of my wishes, and yet I haven't done anything to help you."
"Don't say that."
Lin Xian, also wrapped in a blanket, turned over to look at CC in the bed across from him, in the moonlight:
"You've helped me with far more things; that's a debt of gratitude I could never repay in this lifetime."
"Huh?"
CC was stunned:
"What are you talking about, Lin Xian? We've only known each other for a few days... I've clearly not helped you with anything."
"Just the first day I met you, I helped you escape, took you to the church for a free meal; if anything else, just drew two big pies for you—"
"[Said that one day when I go to space, I'd bring you a gift; and gave you my long-standing wish opportunity, hoping you'd become a Savior.]"
