Ode to Joy: Anxin and Fan Shengmei

I hate being touched by others, including you. Others mind how cold I am, but you alone...

I have no sense of class, yet I still can't get along with other people. You understand that our status is different, so you want to live a more vivid life...

I meet you with a cold face, but you greet me with a smile...

You melt my coldness with your warmth, and I use my sincerity to peel away your disguise...

I'm afraid my mental health issues will cause you trouble, but all you're afraid of is that I'll leave.

If it's possible, if Heaven is kind to us, then we won't have to hurt each other anymore.

Maybe to outsiders, this is a relationship doomed to be a mistake. But to me, this is a love that could never end in a breakup.

I want to make a wish: may I grow old with you, just as I hope.

Fan Shengmei, could you give me a Kongming lantern?

Family circumstances made me choose to hide who I am; your comfortable life means you don't have to force yourself.

I may not have broad shoulders to lean on, but I'm confident I can give you a heaven of trust.

Even if you hate being touched by others, I'll still give you a heartfelt hug and warm you with it.

You see through the mask I wear in public, but don't expose me. You hide your inner fears; I don't understand them, but I'll still help you overcome them.

When I learned there was a chance you had mental health issues, I was confused too. But the honest voice in my heart told me that nothing could stop me from loving you.

Your growing distance from me hurts me more than anything. Even after I got you back, I was still afraid you'd leave.

If we can, then even until the end of time, let's never part.

Andy, could you give me a bowl of calming soup?
