Xie Huaijin picked up a taciturn young man, Yunqi, who was covered in injuries in a mountain stream.
He thought it was just an ordinary act of kindness, providing temporary shelter to a traveler in distress.
But Yun Qi knew what it meant to step into this mountain residence for him, whose life was almost infinite.
The scholar makes tea, sweeps leaves, and reads, leading a fleeting but meticulous life in Yun Qi's eyes.
He should have quietly recuperated, then left, returning to his long and lonely trajectory.
But he stayed, learned to be a "human", and stayed with a mortal whose life span was shorter than his one long sleep.
From vigilance to habit, from watching to indulging.
He watched his temples stained with frost, watched his back slightly curved, and watched how time gently and cruelly carves a mortal thing.
"Your life span is not long enough to bask in the sun with me once." He once stated calmly.
Later, he prayed that time could slow down a little bit more.
Until the snow falls all over the mountain, the man sleeps forever.
Yun Qi finally understood:
It took him seventy years to learn what "life" is.
Intention: Cherish the people in front of you and love every minute of the moment.
