My Eyes Open When I See You

“When I finish medical school, I’ll come back and marry you.” Hearing that, his heart gave a little lurch. He thought this was probably the most tactful and bittersweet way to say goodbye., Best Microfiction of the Year [1]

That day, when this topic popped up on Weibo’s trending list, Jin Wenqing couldn’t help scrolling through the comments for three seconds. His heart gave a little lurch too.

He remembered how his first love had once coaxed him with the same words: “When you finish medical school, I’ll marry you.”

As it turned out, he got dumped halfway through his studies.

When they met again, his first love already had someone new by her side.

Jin Wenqing was reminded of another profound saying: “A flower that already belongs to someone smells the sweetest, because her current boyfriend has already beaten countless rivals for you. All you have to do is beat him. [2]”

That was absolutely true.

A month later, Jin Wenqing lured him back to his villa. “Three years, and this is the caliber of rival you found me? He can’t even figure out which villa you live in on the Peak.”

Jin Wenqing idly toyed with a No. 11 scalpel blade between his fingertips and said with a smile, “Let’s play a game, little piggy. However many hours it takes him to find you, you have to call me ‘Hubby’ that many times right in front of him.”
