The man saw him, smiled kindly, and he climbed the stairs step by step, finally falling from the third floor.

Wen Qiong still remembers the loud thud the person made when they rolled down, no matter how many years have passed.

After the man fell to his death, there was no further news of him, and no one came to the door with a psychologist. Seven-year-old Wen Qiong felt satisfied, even though this time, no one in the Wen family dared to approach him again, including his parents.

Many years later, Wen Qiong, now an adult, was hospitalized again due to health reasons. One sunny day, as he stood by the window in the corridor looking at the scenery, a man named Qiu Liang approached him. This young man named Qiu Liang said that he hoped he could play the male lead in his script. It is said that if he were to act in this youth drama, Qiu Liang would spare no expense to find the popular actress Xia Fengguang to play the female lead.

The gentle and quiet male lead meets the passionate and fiery female lead. Look how much chemistry they have!

Wen Qiong refused, because life was already boring enough, and he didn't want to do anything more boring.

I heard that later, a newcomer was cast as the male lead in this youth drama, and Xia Fengguang was not chosen as the female lead either.

Qiu Liang shook his head and sighed, repeatedly complaining to Wen Qiong about how short-sighted the investors were.

This man named Qiu Liang seemed to regard him as a friend, but what kind of boring thing is a friend?

Wen Qiong never interrupted Qiu Liang, and it seemed that this was why the talkative Qiu Liang liked to complain in front of Wen Qiong, and gradually, it became a habit.

Once he discovers what kind of person he is, he'll finally have some peace and quiet.

Wen Qiong thought so.

However, by chance, Wen Qiong casually asked Qiu Liang why he went to the hospital every day. Qiu Liang took her to the next ward and saw the person lying on the bed.

"This is my father. When I was little, he had an accident and has been in a coma ever since. My mother is in poor health, so I come to the hospital to see him from time to time." Qiu Liang said this without any sadness in his expression. Perhaps he had already finished grieving when he was a child.

Wen Qiong said calmly, "I hope your father will recover soon."

Even though he had figured out why the man in the hospital bed looked so familiar, and why he was unconscious, he was always able to remain calm.

On Valentine's Day, even the hospital seemed to be more lively. Wen Qiong sat on the bed, watching people carrying roses walk by outside the window one after another, bored. Qiu Liang, who arrived on time, broke the silence in his room.

"Wen Qiong, come with me to the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon."

Wen Qiong smiled, "I'm a hospitalized person."

"Don't worry, I asked around, it'll be fine to go out for a little while. I don't think it's good for you to stay cooped up here all day, you should go out for a walk. This hospital smells like disinfectant, don't you want to go out for some fresh air?"

"This place is nice, especially because it's quiet." He just didn't want to move.

Qiu Liang pressed on, "I've heard that the Yue Lao Temple is very effective. I've seen you've been all alone all this time, why don't you go and pray for a marriage? Maybe if you pray to Yue Lao, you'll find a bride."

“Bride…” Wen Qiong uttered these two words softly. Long ago, that man said that the bride was someone who could stay by her side forever.

Does this "forever" mean that he will like her, but will not kill her?
