“Miss Yu……”
“Quick, call the doctor…”
I collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
It hurts so much.
My neck feels like it’s broken.
I tried hard to open my eyes, but everything in front of me was blood red.

“Beep—beep beep—”
In the ICU, I was awakened by the sound of machines.
Someone was speaking in my ear.
“ Yu Zhu, hang in there! We already have a treatment plan…”
The voice sounded so familiar.
I struggled to open my eyes.
But everything was obscured by blood, and I couldn’t see anything.
I wanted to smile at him, opened my mouth, but realized I couldn’t make a sound.
I’m so tired.
I seem to be falling asleep.
“ Yu Zhu, don’t sleep! Please, don’t sleep!”
Jiaoyou’s voice is filled with desperation.
The voice feels so distant.
My body is getting lighter, and my thoughts are a mess.
“ Yu Zhu, you promised to stay with me for a lifetime…”
“You can’t go back on your word…”
Who is it?
This voice… is it Zhen Zhuo?
He’s here?
No, I don’t want to see him.
“Let me in… let me in…”
Zhen Zhuo’s frantic voice echoes outside.
He is blocked at the door, the security guard holding him back tightly.
“ Yu Zhu …”
"You all let me in..."
He cried hoarsely.
Jiaoyou stood beside me and whispered, "Do you want to see him?"
I gently shook my head.
I didn't want to see him.
What good would it do?
It would only add to my troubles.
My thoughts drifted far away.
I remembered the first time I met Zhen Zhuo.
At that time, I had just graduated from college and was with my team in Dali for a field trip.
We ran and laughed freely in the sea of flowers.
That day, I met Zhen Zhuo.
He was wearing a white shirt and jeans, standing in the flower field, smiling at me.
"Hello, my name is Zhen Zhuo."
His smile was radiant, and his gaze was warm.
I felt my face flush under his gaze and quietly said my name.
"Yu Yuzhu."
That day, we sat in the sea of flowers for a long, long time.
He took many pictures of me.
In each one, I smiled sweetly.
When we parted, I asked him, "Can you send me the photos?"
"Of course," he replied with a smile, "but you need to give me your address."
I left my address for him.
To my surprise, the next day, I actually received his email.
"Yu Yuzhu, will you be my girlfriend?"
I was so astonished that I couldn't find my voice.
We were thousands of miles apart and had only met once; wasn't this request too sudden?
Yet, my heart was filled with joy.
I called him.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course."
"Don't you think it's too abrupt?"
"As long as you're brave, it will never be abrupt."
I laughed at him.
"Yu Yuzhu, I like you. Be my girlfriend."
His voice was gentle, like a warm breeze, softly brushing against my heart.
My face flushed, and I whispered, "Okay."
"Yu Yuzhu, I love you!"
He cheered.
"Yu Yuzhu, I will treat you well. For a lifetime!"
A lifetime.
What a beautiful word.
But a lifetime is too long...

Zhen Zhuo's Side Story
After New Year's Eve, Yu Zhu left without saying goodbye.
She is gone.
Gone without a trace.
Not only does she not answer my calls or reply to my messages, but she has also blocked me.
I am confused and exhausted.
I regret having treated her poorly before.
But clearly, we had agreed that no matter what conflicts arose between us, we would communicate promptly and never let our feelings create a rift.
We have been together for ten years.
From knowing and loving each other to entering marriage, we have always been in sync.
I understand her, she loves me, and I love her too.
I firmly believe that I have not betrayed her.
I swear I have not touched another woman.
I know Yu Zhu too well; she loves me so much that if she found out I had another woman, she would never forgive me for the rest of her life.
Moreover, I love her—how could I bear to do anything that would hurt her?
