"Sometimes, the hardest thing to endure in life is not because someone did something wrong, but because no one did anything wrong, yet the story still didn't lead to the ending we hoped for." Supplementary Story "Wen Zhong and Her" At the age of twenty-three, Wen Zhong joined the Wulin Municipal Zoo Plant Research Centre, becoming a plant doctor. In the same year, she also entered the Animal Section. The two of them had been together from their student days all the way into working life; almost everyone knew they were a couple. There was no dramatic romance, nor were they glued to each other every day. They simply, naturally, made each other a part of their lives. Whoever arrives at work first in the morning picks up breakfast. If both are free at noon, they go to the staff canteen together. Occasionally going to the supermarket after work to buy groceries, then heading home separately. On days off, they visit botanical gardens, bookshops, and cat cafés, or go nowhere at all, simply watching films together at home. Life was very quiet, and back then, they both believed those days would continue forever. Wen Zhong rarely said "I love you", but he would remember that she didn't eat coriander, would bring an umbrella early on rainy days, and knowing she was on the night shift, would pack a warm dinner into a thermos. While inspecting the Animal Section, she would also sneak over to the Plant Research Centre, leaning on the doorframe with a smile and asking, "Doctor Wen, may I borrow the plant doctor for a bit?" Wen Zhong would always smile and put down the work in his hands. "For how long?" "Ten minutes." She would hold up a finger. "Have a cup of coffee with me." The people in the Plant Research Centre would just smile when they saw this, and some would even tease, "Wen Zhong, your wife is here to borrow you again." Wen Zhong would always smile sheepishly without denying it. Because in his heart, she had always been a part of his future. He had started slowly saving …
"Just because a plant hasn't grown new leaves today doesn't mean it has stopped growing." It is not about teaching you to forget someone, but about accompanying you as you relearn how to live. p.s. The way to increase Wen Zhong's affection is to accompany him as he heals from his heartbreak.
