“It’s good that he knows you’re here. Li Bai is a good man. Still, he is a foreigner; why did he name himself ‘Li Bai’?”
Li Zhiwei grinned, “Oh, he likes that poet with the same name.” Li Zhiwei was always so candid and casual with Qie w.a.n.g.
“Qie w.a.n.g, how is Xuning feeling now? He has always been a very proud person…”
Qie w.a.n.g sighed, “He’s not feeling too good now, but that seems pretty natural since he just lost a leg. He fought with Linlang when he regained consciousness. Linlang left in a huff after that. Those two have lived for quite some time now. What’s so important that they cannot settle amicably?”
Li Zhiwei could not help but feel jealous of Ye Linlang. That woman is so lucky. She came to the city from the countryside. She managed to get into a university where she met a fine young man like Xie Xuning. She was forever imprinted in Xie Xuning’s memory. She was the love of his life.

Not everyone could be as fortunate as her, especially not Li Zhiwei. She loved Xie Xuning very much. She waited for him for the past 20 years. She spent all that time pining for him but he never once looked at her.
Xuning was such a proud man. How would he be able to accept his disability? He loved Ye Linlang so much and would definitely not want to let her see him in this sorry state. Li Zhiwei could understand why he was feeling depressed.
What Li Zhiwei did not understand was that, even if Xie Xuning was a proud man, what made Ye Linlang so upset that she left? She should be by his side now and comforting him. Was he insulted by her pity for him?
How could a proud man like him let his beloved woman feel sorry for him?
“That’s right.” Qie w.a.n.g constantly reminded himself not to let the cat out of the bag. He was very careful with his words.
“Qie w.a.n.g, I heard that Xuning was injured when he tried to save Ye Linlang. Is that true?
Qie w.a.n.g did not know how Xie Xuning got injured. He was puzzled about that too. “I haven’t had the chance to ask him. He was so upset that I did not dare to bring it up.”
“I heard he tried to save Ye Linlang when she fell off the cliff. Xuning fell alongside with her.” Li Zhiwei seemed resigned. If someone loved her so much to risk his life for her, she was willing to die with no regrets.
“It hasn’t been easy for Xuning and Linlang. I hope they can reconcile and be happy after this. They are not young anymore. What’s there to argue about? Don’t you agree?”
They chatted for a while. Qie w.a.n.g was especially careful. He was afraid that he would accidentally blurt out the truth about Xie Xuning’s condition. He did not want to ruin his friend’s plans and risk ruining their friends.h.i.+p.
“Qie w.a.n.g, Xuning is a sensible person. He must have his reasons. As his friend, try to be sensitive with him. Don’t say the wrong things. All right, I’d better get going. Please take good care of Xuning.”
Qie w.a.n.g touched his nose several times after Li Zhiwei left his office. He was mentally drained. The two of them had been so close, so he usually did not have to think twice before saying anything to her. This was the first time he had to be careful in front of her.
Li Zhiwen got into a Porche when she came out of the hospital.
“Why did you come out so fast, Zhiwei?”
