    My dearest Lu Zhiyan, my Zhiyan brother. Because my heart ached so much the day we parted, we didn't even have a proper goodbye. I've heard people say that longing is like the wind—boundless, able to cross mountains and seas to reach any desired destination. Gazing at the gentle evening breeze flowing outside the hospital window, I repeatedly hoped that this tender wind could cross borders and reach you. Alas, my longing is silent, and countless thoughts remain unspoken; yet, thankfully, my longing is silent, so it won't become a burden binding you. I so wish the breeze could brush past your ear, completing the farewell I couldn't say, softly telling you: "Goodbye, my dear Zhiyan brother." 😁
