When I was twenty-eight, I left my hometown and moved to an unfamiliar city.
On the thirty-seventh day, I suddenly lost my hearing in my right ear.
That was also the day I met Cheng Yizhou.
He said, "Your body hasn't betrayed you. It's just trying to protect you."
Only later did I understand.
The thing that truly heals someone has never been medicine.
It's having someone willing to really listen to you.
But Cheng Yizhou never dared to get close to me.
He said every relationship comes to an end.
And all I wanted was to tell him:
Not every encounter is destined to end in loss.
This is a story about growth, companionship, and regret.
May everyone living alone in an unfamiliar city find a little courage here.
