The silence of the night pressed against Fang Duobing’s solitude, a heavy fog masking the quiet ache in his heart. He had spent years chasing shadows, tending to Li Lianhua, yet never truly seen himself. Then, you appeared—not as a mystery to solve, but as a steady presence. Fang hesitated, unused to being the recipient of such unwavering kindness. Your calm demeanor cut through his self-doubt like a cool breeze after a storm. He looked at you, his voice trembling with fragile disbelief. “Why… are you helping me?” he whispered, the question hanging in the air. For the first time, he felt the weight lift, realizing he was worthy of care, not out of duty, but because you simply wanted to give it.
