As soon as I came out, I saw him standing at the elevator entrance.

  She tilted her head to one side. She saw him... apparently looking like he was afraid of him. He turned around and walked towards the stairs. He didn't even wait for the elevator. Gong Xiaoyue chased after him.

  He grabbed her arm. "Where are you running?"

  Pouting and struggling. Initially refusing to speak.

  "What the hell are you running for." Gong Xiaoyue shouted with red eyes. He of course hated himself more. Knowing clearly why she ran, but... how come there were so many unprovoked words.

  "You scold me..." Finally. In a muffled and wronged tone, unable to speak. As soon as the words came out, they were fragmented. Tears fell like broken pearls.

  Can't bear to see you suffer like this. Originally, she was hurt and hasn't woken up yet. She's already very worried and distressed. As a result, he came and said just one sentence... Can this delicate person withstand it?

  It's all the same. It's all the same anyway.

  Deeply moved by Gong Xiaoyue's heart.

  Suddenly his hands clutched her tightly. He held her up, looking at her with a faint redness in his eyes. "Who else would I scold if not you..." Was he hurting her or himself...

  She clutched her fist and pounded his shoulder. Crying uncontrollably. "You only know how to bully me..."

  Gong Xiaoyue looked at her.

  Staring at her... My heart is being pinched by her...

  He suddenly grasped her head and pressed his lips tightly against hers.

  What to do? What to do then?

  His face was covered with her tears.

  His lips were all her flavor.

  Like floating poison. Thread by thread. Strand by strand.

  Knowing it's unattainable, can't be attained again.

  But...

  He was still patting his shoulder.

  Fists clenched tightly.

  Sobbing.

  Heartbroken.

  Slowly. Slowly.

  Stop for a moment.

  Slowly. Slowly.

  The fist relaxed slightly.

  Later on.

  Clinging tightly to his epaulets...

  Cough. This is also her fate.

  The first time I experienced such a crazy and extreme love under sober circumstances was with him.

  In that golden armor, a day and night of desperate entanglement.

  Midnight reverie. The only echoes beside her ears were the scorching gasps of her and him inseparable. The two climbed to that place where their hearts were empty and carefree, time and time again. It made her eyes hot with passion. Made her forget everything. She was just a medicine for what he wanted.

  Separate.

  Her lips were slightly pursed, shiny and moist. Her eyes were still wet and hazy. She took a slight sip, looking at him. Her gaze was also entangled with unsolvable, unspoken, and bewildering threads.

  Gong Xiaoyue's heart shrunk and became unable.

  The softest place. Being held by her. Firmly. Only being held by her...

  Gong Xiaoyue was kissed again by her lips.

  "Are you hungry?"

  He slightly pursed his lips. His fingers dug into his epaulets.

  Gong Xiaoyue hugged her tightly, his face against hers. "I brought you truffle rice."

  "I won't eat." Her fingers were still picking at his epaulets. "I don't want to eat."

  Gong Xiaoyue surprisingly nodded. "Okay. If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. What do you want to eat?"

  It seems like there's a bug in his epaulette. He insisted on picking it out. "Want to eat the tofu skin of Lao Tong City."

  Gong Xiaoyue nodded again. "Okay. Let's eat the tofu skin of Lao Tong City."

  Hugged for a while longer.

  Apart.

  His hands were still fiddling with his epaulets.

  Gong Xiaoyue glanced at his own epaulette. Solemnly. "I'll take off my epaulette and give it to you to play with."

  Her hands stopped in mid-air. Unexpectedly. She nodded too.

  Gong Xiaoyue really took action and removed the epaulets, handing them over to her. Her fingers were still pinching and digging at them.

  She is like that. Always thinking about knots. Her hands love to scratch things. Scratch and scratch. Like a stubborn child.

  "You go in first. I'll go buy tofu skin."

  Shaking head. "Not going in. Just sit outside." There are two more people inside. Don't recognize them either. Don't want to go in.

  "Okay, sit outside."

  Kan Yanyu sat on the long bench in the outer corridor. Gong Xiaoyue was about to go in and get the car key. She walked a few steps, then turned back, took off the epaulette from her right shoulder, bent down and handed it over to Kan Yanyu, then turned around and went in.

  He was holding his right shoulder badge with one hand, still in the same pose as when he had stuffed it into her hand earlier. His other hand was still fiddling with the left shoulder badge that he had just taken off. He stared at a point, looking awkward and out of place. Who was he angry with? He didn't even know himself...

  But just for a moment.

  Gong Xiaoyue came out of the ward.

  Standing right at the door.

  "High tide."

  She raised her eyes and looked over... He was clearly standing at the door. But... it seemed... so far, so far away...

  Gong Xiaoyue raised her hand and beckoned to her.

  He slowly got up and walked over with a daze.

  Getting closer and closer. Heard him say.

  "Hu came awake."

  The wolf has already reached the door.

  Look inside.

  Hear again.

  "But he seems to have forgotten you."
