Wen Yan had always been bold and stubborn. There was only one person he'd ever been timid around.
That was his childhood friend, Xu Zhan.
Xu Zhan had looked after him since they were little, knowing all his likes and habits.
At an age when even his parents couldn't control him, only Xu Zhan could keep him in line.
Even Wen Yan didn't know why he listened to Xu Zhan so readily.
He'd even thought that if Xu Zhan could stay by his side forever and keep him in check for the rest of his life, that would be perfect.
But in the end, Wen Yan was the one who stayed with Xu Zhan through his whole life, until the warmth of his presence faded away.
One year after Xu Zhan was gone, a heavy snowfall blanketed Nanlin City. It was the biggest snowfall the city had seen in years.
That night, Wen Yan finally dreamed of him.
“A Yan, you were the only person I ever loved in my life.”
“Live well, and be good.”
Wen Yan wanted to speak, but no sound came out. All he could do was watch Xu Zhan slowly disappear.
He woke from the dream. The snow was still falling outside, and the only sound inside was Wen Yan sobbing.

“The person I love has been sleeping forever since he was seventeen. I can't come to terms with it, and I can't stop missing him.”
He personally arranged Xu Zhan's funeral.
At the funeral, he told everyone about Xu Zhan's short life and the love they shared.

If both parents had a little more understanding and care for their children, there would be no regrets. They only realized it later when a major change occurred 😭 😭
