A Glimpse

Fragile, amnesiac girl × gloomy, refined scoundrel

Age gap + partial doctor-patient relationship + stealing someone's partner + taking by force

When Lin Yao was nineteen, she lost her memory and stayed home. The windows in her room were sealed with newspaper because she couldn't stand the sunlight.

One day, a courteous and gracious florist came to the house, carrying a bouquet of dazzling flowers. He opened the door to her long-sealed room and walked toward her.

At first sight of him, her skin crawled. Instinct told her to get away, but her body seemed to lose control, taking one step after another toward the seemingly gentle, polite man.

Smiling, he handed her a bouquet of lisianthus. His warm, dry palm brushed over the top of her head.

- "It's nice to meet you. My name is Zhou Xiaoran."

A corner of a psychiatrist's license from a mental hospital peeked out from his sleeve.

After that day, a pair of eyes appeared in the flower shop across from her home, gazing through two windows at the girl in the white dress.

Lin Yao noticed and met his gaze. The moment their eyes touched, a splitting headache seized her. Once, in a dark basement, those same eyes had looked back at her through the narrow window of a visitation room.

Two pairs of eyes: one full of terror, the other tender and lingering.

That night, a medicine bottle was knocked over. The clattering sound erupted beside her ear, instantly taking her back to the nightmare she had exhausted herself trying to forget.

Lin Yao didn't know that ever since she had begun having those bizarre dreams, the shell around her lost memories had already started to crack, letting in the light.

- "Say goodbye to me, and I'll leave you."

- "Goodbye."
