Five years later, at a university in W City.

"Zhao Zhao, I like you!"

The football field in the evening was now filled with clear-eyed college students, all looking at the confession scene in the middle of the crowd, excitement burning in their eyes.

"Promise him! Promise him..."

On the football field illuminated by heart-shaped candlelight, the unruly young man with a flushed face held a large bouquet of roses, knelt on one knee and handed it to the tall boy in front of him.

There was a gleam in Shen Xinghe's bright eyes, and he looked at Zhao Zhao with his hands in his pockets with anticipation.

The evening breeze blew the boy's black hair. He stood there motionless. Dressed in a black coat, he seemed to blend into the night. His downcast eyes made it impossible to see his emotions.

"Promise him, promise him..."

The booing of college students became louder and louder, and the smile on Shen Xinghe's face rose. Zhao Zhao finally moved. His eyes moved slightly, and his body slowly retreated.

"Sorry, I don't like you." A cold voice sounded, with no hesitation and determination.

"Answer..." The scene suddenly became quiet. Shen Xinghe's smile froze and he looked up in disbelief, but Zhao Zhao quickly walked out of the crowd.

"Zhao Zhao! Zhao Zhao..." The rose was thrown on the ground. Shen Xinghe rushed forward and stopped Zhao Zhao.

Facing the boy's indifferent expression, he forced a smile: "Oh, I'm just teasing you, you don't take it seriously, do you?"

“.......”

"You're not going to ignore me, are you? Sorry, I...I won't make such jokes again."

He reached out and tried to put his arm around Zhao Zhao's shoulder as he did before, but the boy in front of him dodged his movement.

The atmosphere froze, and Shen Xinghe finally looked away and made way.

The hem of his coat brushed against Shen Xinghe's hand. After the people left, he slowly raised his red eyes, clenched his fists, and veins bulged on his forehead.

Looking at the boy's back as he left resolutely, a tear fell silently.

From high school to college, he seemed to have been watching Zhao Zhao's back as he left.

Shen Xinghe was wondering when that figure would stop for him.

On the other side, the pale-faced boy left the football field without hesitation and took a taxi to the hospital.

In the car, Xie Zian called him.

Zhao Zhao rubbed his face and lips, making his complexion slightly rosy. He cheered himself up and tried to make himself look healthier.

"Brother." When the call was connected, Zhao Zhao looked at the handsome young man in a black windbreaker opposite him with a smile in his eyes.

Xie Zian has graduated from university and found a job with good salary and benefits. Everything is going in the right direction.

"Zhao Zhao, are you in the car? What are you doing so late?"

"Never mind."

"Oh." Xie Zian felt aggrieved for less than a second, and then said: "Take care of yourself. It's been cold recently. Be careful not to catch a cold..."

"You look a little pale. Do you have a cold?"

"No, it's a lighting problem."

"Ohhhh, that's good."

Xie Zian still looked like a young boy who hadn't grown up, smiling all the time: "Hey, Shen Xinghe isn't with you, is the sun rising from the west?"

After the college entrance examination, Zhao Zhao and Shen Xinghe both achieved good results and later went to the same university.

Every time Xie Zian called Zhao Zhao, Shen Xinghe was there, and the two could be said to be inseparable.

Zhao Zhao smiled faintly and changed the subject: "How is your work going recently?"

"Let me tell you, our boss is simply..." When it comes to work, Xie Zian's complaints can last for three days and three nights.

Zhao Zhao listened quietly, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

After Xie Zian finished speaking, he asked Zhao Zhao about his studies and life. Zhao Zhao simply summarized, "Everything is fine."

He looked out the window at the hospital entrance and said with a smile, "I have something else to do. I'm hanging up now."

"Wait a minute!" Xie Zian said hurriedly, "There's one more thing. Chen Chilin is going to W City on a business trip tomorrow and will stop by the school to visit you and Shen Xinghe."

Zhao Zhao nodded and pressed the hang-up button without hesitation.

After the video call was disconnected, he could no longer maintain the smile on his face. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He slowly moved to the hospital entrance, but before he could even go in, he fainted.

The next time Zhao Zhao woke up, he was on a hospital bed. When he opened his eyes, a group of people immediately surrounded him.

"Zhao Zhao, how are you?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes...hiss..." The person who said this was slapped by Shen Xinghe who was standing behind him.

Zhao Zhao raised his eyes and scanned the people in front of him one by one.

Xie Zian, Chen Chilin, several roommates from college, and Shen Xinghe, who stood behind them and didn't dare to step forward.

Everyone of them looked unhappy, especially Xie Zian and Shen Xinghe, whose eyes were red.

Still like before, they like to cry whenever something happens to him.

"Why are you crying, both of you?" Zhao Zhao spoke, his voice very weak.

Shen Xinghe couldn't hold it in any longer. He pushed Chen Chilin aside and squeezed in front of Zhao Zhao. He held his hand and howled, "You were sick, why didn't you tell me?!"

He cried, and Xie Zian, who was already an adult, couldn't help crying: "Zhao Zhao, I'm so scared!"

The cancer is in the late stage and the doctor said the condition is deteriorating very rapidly.

Zhao Zhao was in poor health, so Xie Zian would take him for a physical checkup every once in a while. However, Zhao Zhao's cancer seemed to be hidden in the early stages, and the hospital didn't detect it at all.
