At twenty-seven, Jiang Fei was already the youngest chief of neurosurgery at Nancheng Hospital. Calm and composed, he'd been single for years.

Everyone at the hospital wondered what kind of heavenly beauty could catch Chief Jiang's eye.

Passing the ER one day, Jiang Fei overheard the nurses gossiping. “Have you heard? A really handsome guy came into the ER today!”

“Don't get your hopes up. He only broke a bone in his hand, but three gorgeous women have been falling over themselves to take care of him. They're keeping him company and paying his bills. I guess being handsome really can put food on the table.”

Jiang Fei paid it no mind. But as he walked down the corridor, he saw the face that had appeared in his dreams thousands upon thousands of times. Now it was surrounded by a flock of women, laughing and joking, with a pink heart drawn on the cast covering his left arm.

A nurse nearby said that face could earn fifty thousand in a single night.

Chen Yichen had an older brother who wanted to control everything, from his studies to whether he smoked or drank.

He wouldn't let him do this or that.

Chen Yichen had thought he'd spend his whole life being bossed around by his brother, but then the man suddenly left without a word.

Later, the whole hospital saw it: the most celibate Chief Jiang pinning someone against the wall of the treatment room, fingers rubbing over the irritating heart on his cast. “The year your mom caught us kissing, my dad was transferred back to the city immediately...”

“So you just abandoned me?” Chen Yichen bit down hard on his Adam's apple. “Why are you pretending to be my guardian now?”

In the tides around Minggao Island ten years ago, two boys left their goodnights unsaid.

Ten years later, he took hold of that broken hand. This time, let me be the wound that never heals.
