Jiān Wěn's visits became a regular fixture in Xiū Huā's days. Each time he entered her room, she found herself drawn to him more and more. His presence, though brief, had a profound effect on her. She became increasingly attentive to his every movement and the soft murmur of his polite responses. Despite the formality of his behavior, there was a subtle intensity in his eyes that sparked a growing sense of connection within her.
Xiū Huā's attempts to engage him in conversation revealed little about his personal life. His answers were always curt and formal, devoid of the warmth she longed to experience. Yet, this only deepened her fascination. She found herself imagining what lay beneath his stoic exterior, what thoughts and feelings he might be hiding.
She found herself attracted to the way he carried himself, the quiet strength and kindness that seemed to radiate from him. Each encounter left her wanting more, her mind filled with questions and possibilities. Could he be the key to breaking free from this joy-deprived existence?
