Seven years ago, Lin Xian first met Xu Zai.
He had sold bread, worked as a housekeeper, and delivered takeout. He'd been beaten up more than once over money.
Everyone described Xu Zai as a top student: smart, handsome, polite, and excellent in every way.
Lin Xian remarked, “These days, top students lead the charge at bars to see who can drink the most. Times sure have changed.”
Seven years later, Lin Xian and Xu Zai reunite.
In a cold, dim hospital, he's an intern doctor, and she's a patient's family member.
Later, he sees her at her most wretched and humiliated. She's been cyberbullied and people are pointing at her and cursing her, but he doesn't even bat an eye.
Someone asks Xu Zai, “Reunions after a long separation are so romantic. Where did you two meet again?”
Xu Zai: “The psychiatric hospital.”
