The family was broken and the world collapsed. Wen Ye hid himself in the darkness where no one cared.
He thought he would spend his whole life in loneliness, until the man named Lu Fengshi landed beside him steadily with light.
There was nothing earth-shattering, just a soft but firm promise:
"You are no longer alone, I am here."
Later, in the tenderness that no one knew, they told each other their thoughts.
"Lu Fengshi, I love you."
"What do you love about me?"
"Love you with everything."
"I love you too, forever."
It turns out that all the brokenness and waiting were just for this encounter.
I love you deeply, in the silence of the hanging rose.
When I met you, the wildfire had not yet burned, but the roses had already burned.

Later, Wen Ye whispered:
"I always felt that everything would leave me."
Lu Fengshi looked at him, his tone calm but determined:
"I won't."
"... Really?"
"Really."
…………
Later, Wen Ye's heart beat fast and he asked softly:
"Lu Fengshi, how long will you stay with me?"
Lu Fengshi held his hand, his eyes gentle and solemn:
"It's not about accompanying, it's about marrying."
He paused and said every word with utmost seriousness:
"Wen Ye, marry me. For the rest of your life, I will guard you and never let you be alone again."
Wen Ye's eyes were slightly hot and he nodded gently:
"I do."
"I only want you."
"I only want you. For the rest of my life, only you."
Intention: Study hard and make progress every day
