The next morning, she had already forgotten about the incident from the night before. She thought he was probably no longer angry, but as soon as she got out of bed, he called her out with a stern face to change her bandages.
Although he was a bit fierce, ultimately, it was out of concern for her health, so Gu Qimiao chose to think positively.
He dropped her off at a precise spot at the intersection, reminding her several times to be careful when using the knife.
Though he was a bit nagging, Gu Qimiao nodded obediently throughout.
The wind outside was quite strong. Gu Qimiao hunched her neck, half her face buried in the scarf, and walked forward against the wind.
The weather was very cold, but she liked it because she met him in such cold winter weather. He gave her warmth and protection. His appearance marked the beginning of her rebirth, so every year thereafter, that day became her birthday.
Every year, she would miss him especially on that day.
