Shao Qinhan never thought that Shen Liang would wake up early one day.
When he opened his eyes first thing in the morning, he touched the side and found it empty, with only a little residual heat.
Shao Qinhan didn’t think too much about it, got dressed, and went downstairs, but his back still ached a little from fooling around with Shen Liang last night. He remembered what that man had said to him when he got drunk, and slightly curved his lips, feeling for the first time in his life that the future was promising.
Nanny Zhang was cooking, as busy as ever.
Shao Qinhan looked into the living room and didn’t find Shen Liang, so he couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “Where is Shen Liang?”
The sound of the stir-fry was a little loud, so Nanny Zhang didn’t hear it clearly, and unconsciously turned around, wiping her hands on her apron, “What?”
Shao Qinhan repeated, “Where is Shen Liang?”
A flash of consternation crossed Nanny Zhang’s face at his words, and the hectic movements of her hands could not help but pause, “Who is Shen Liang?”
The bewilderment in her eyes was so obvious that it didn’t seem to be fake, which caused a nameless panic to well up from the bottom of his heart. Shao Qinhan didn’t like it when they played pranks like this. He looked at Nanny Zhang for a while, his voice cold and his expression hideous, “Where is Shen Liang?”
Nanny Zhang was startled and couldn’t help but stammer, “M-Mr. Shao, are you looking for Shen Yan? He’s still on campus, he shouldn’t be back until the weekend.”
This was the only person he could think of whose surname was Shen.
Shao Qinhan turned around abruptly and went up the stairs. He hurried back to his room, reached under his pillow for his phone, and tried to call Shen Liang, however, he couldn’t find the number in his phonebook no matter how hard he searched.
How is this possible?
How is this possible!
Shao Qinhan’s expression became worse, and he even wondered if someone had played a joke on him. But he didn’t find it funny, not at all.
He quickly dialed a series of familiar numbers with his fingers, so forcefully that he almost broke through the screen. However, although the voice on the other end of the phone was sweet, it was also cold, like an invisible hand pushing him into the abyss.
[The number you have dialed does not exist, please dial again later…]
Shao Qinhan’s breathing became unsteady and his fingers began to tremble. He gritted his teeth, his expression looking grim as he redialed the number.
Once, twice…
Fifty times, a hundred times…
The same answer.
[The number you have dialed does not exist, please dial again later….]
Bang!
The phone was smashed mercilessly against the wall and instantly shattered into pieces.
Shao Qinhan’s face was grim, already somewhat unable to control his violent anger. Still thinking it was a joke, he rushed out the door to find out where Shen Liang was, but just as he was coming down the stairs, he bumped into Han Shaobai, who had come for dinner.
“Brother, what are you doing there?”
Han Shaobai was suddenly grabbed by Shao Qinhan and stumbled, covering his shoulder and showing his teeth. Recently, his family had frozen his bank card for his nonsense, so he was planning to come to eat and ask Shao Qinhan for some money.
When Shao Qinhan saw him, his expression relaxed a bit and he didn’t even care that Han Shaobai had no friendship with Shen Liang, and asked him excitedly, “Have you seen Shen Liang?”

“Shen Liang, who is he?” Han Shaobai looked dumbfounded, saw the darkness in Shao Qinhan’s eyes, and blinked nervously, “I have only heard of someone named Shen Yan, who is Shen Liang?”

His eyes began to redden uncontrollably.
Han Shaobai panicked, “Brother, I-I-I… don’t remember. Today is the first time I’ve come to eat with you after returning to China, what are you talking about?”
Shao Qinhan let go of him and took a step back, his face was terrifying.
Han Shaobai inexplicably felt him stagger, as if he was going to fall in the next second, and reached out his hand to hold him with some concern, “Brother, you… are you alright?”
Shao Qinhan slowly looked at Han Shaobai and took a deep breath before trying to calm himself down. He tried his best to keep his voice low, different from the anger now, gripping Han Shaobai’s hand, with a somewhat imperceptible and mournful plea, “Have you forgotten?”
“That day we ate together, he sat across from me and I gave him vegetables…”
“He appeared before you and you mistook him for Shen Yan…”
“His name is Shen Liang, he is Shen Yan’s younger brother, he has black hair and loves to smile…”
Shao Qinhan’s speech was incoherent and his eyes turned uncontrollably red. His nerves were on the verge of collapse and he asked Han Shaobai, “Do you remember now, do you remember!”
Han Shaobai did not say anything, he was stiff and did not dare to deny. He felt that if he did, Shao Qinhan would immediately lose control.
His voice trembled nervously, “Brother…”
He wondered if Shao Qinhan was sick.
Shao Qinhan could go crazy at any moment, and everyone around him who knew him well thought so. They did not believe that a seven-year-old boy had a normal mind after spending two days and two nights with the corpses of his parents.
Shao Qinhan frantically searched for a person named Shen Liang, but no one had seen him.
No one knows what people will do when they break down to the extreme. Smash things, self-harm, or commit suicide, who knows. The Han Family feared an accident with Shao Qinhan, so they sent him to the hospital and hired a psychiatrist to treat him.
“Mr. Shao, can you tell me more details about the person in your dream?”
An Lin was the doctor attending Shao Qinhan, looking kind and calm. The man in front of her was wearing a hospital gown and had his hands tied with straps to avoid unnecessary accidents.
Shao Qinhan stared at her, like a trapped beast, correcting word by word, “It’s not a dream.”
His voice was hoarse and broken.
“It’s not a dream…”
When he first came, he struggled frantically every day, and he’d calmed down recently, but only a little.
“Good.” An Lin did not refute his words, “Mr. Shao, can you tell me about Shen Liang?”
The man who was in a frenzy suddenly calmed down when he heard this name. Shao Qinhan looked at An Lin, as if seeking approval, moved his lips silently, and said, “He existed…”
That person existed.
Shao Qinhan awkwardly and incoherently recalled, “He helped me bandage the wound and told me not to take pills…”
“I don’t know how to like someone, he taught me… I’m afraid of the dark, he accompanied me…”
“I never saw a movie, he took me to see one… I hurt my leg… He carried me for a long, long time …… ”
As Shao Qinhan spoke, his voice became increasingly hoarse. In the end, he could not continue any longer, and said with red eyes, “He said he likes me…”
“He said he likes me…”
The tone was cheerful and sad, and for the first time, An Lin saw Shao Qinhan smile.
“But the next morning, I couldn’t find him…”
“Everyone said they hadn’t seen him…”
He was like a lost child, bewildered and terrified.
An Lin couldn’t help but remain silent. For a moment, she was about to think that the person called “Shen Liang” really existed, but from a scientific point of view, she could only conclude that Shao Qinhan had felt too lonely and had lacked love in his childhood, so he had become unstable and had imagined a non-existent person.
An Lin felt embarrassed. She got up to take two tranquilizers, poured a glass of water, and gave it to Shao Qinhan, saying warmly, “Take some medicine, this can cure your illness, you will feel better after taking it.”
Shao Qinhan did not move, he whispered, “He won’t let me take pills…”
Saho Qinhan slowly shook his head and bent down, “He won’t let me take pills, I won’t take it…”
An Lin persuaded, “You can only go out to look for him if you take pills and get cured first, right?”
She passed the glass forward again, with two white pills in the other white hand.
“…”
Shao Qinhan hesitated, his eyelids trembled slightly, then he slowly extended one hand.
An Lin smiled, “It’s okay, it’s not bitter.”
There was a layer of sugar on the outside.
Shao Qinhan took the glass of water, only for his hand to tremble and the glass instantly fell to the ground, splashing glass everywhere.
An Lin was startled, reacted, and tried to pour him a new glass.
However, Shao Qinhan did not drink the water and just swallowed it raw. He stared at An Lin, his lips pale and his eyes bloodshot and tired, “Doctor, I want to go out…”
He said earnestly to An Lin, “I miss him…”
I miss him so much.
An Lin helped Shao Qinhan lie down and comforted him, “Sleep well, you can see him when you wake up.”
Shao Qinhan didn’t answer, he stared at her for a while and then closed his eyes, as if he was going to fall asleep
An Lin called the nurse to clean the broken glass on the floor and closed the door softly.
The room was bright because there were lights, but dark because there was no sunlight.
After An Lin left, the man lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes. He lay on the bed, his fingertips twitching slightly, revealing that he was holding a sharp glass in the palm of his hand.
He was not lying.
He knew that Shen Liang existed.
And he misses him very much…
Blood dripped and trickled down the edge of the bed.
The white sheets gradually became darker, slimy, and dark red. The body, already cold, lost its temperature, followed by sharp pain and relief.
Only Shao Qinhan knew he wasn’t crazy, he just couldn’t find that person.
He hoped he was just having a nightmare and wished he would wake up soon.
His consciousness began to fade and his eyelids became heavier.
“Shao Qinhan, get up.”
Someone was poking his face.
“Shao Qinhan, get up.”
The person pinched his nose, he couldn’t breathe.
Shao Qinhan trembled and woke up suddenly. He opened his eyes unconsciously, and saw Shen Liang holding his head, looking at him with a smile, “Get up.”
The morning light was bright and fell on his body with warmth and happiness, so beautiful that it was somewhat unreal.
Shao Qinhan unconsciously touched his wrist, thinking it was a dream now. Shen Liang was there, how could he disappear?
He closed his eyes and buried his face in Shen Liang’s embrace, hugging him very tightly.
Soon after, his ears tingled a little when the man’s low voice sounded as if he was whispering, “Shao Qinhan, I like you.”
Shao Qinhan laughed as he hugged Shen Liang tightly, suppressing happiness, “I know.”
Shen Liang let out a laugh, then lowered his head and kissed him. Shao Qinhan unconsciously opened his eyes and met his gaze, then slowly closed them again after a moment.
Shao Qinhan wrapped his neck and whispered, “Shen Liang, don’t leave in the future, okay?”
Shen Liang lowered his head and kissed the corners of his eyes, “I’ll be with you from now on.”
Hmm…
