Tu Yan has been frequently having dreams recently, with poor sleep quality.

　　At first, they were fragmented pieces, from his childhood, student days, and the early days of his career.

　　Most of them were blurry figures that couldn't be pieced together into a complete story.

　　But in the second half of the night, the images would start to become clear.

　　The intense background music would suddenly slow down, and only he and Gu Chenbai would remain on the stage.

　　Gu Chenbai would walk towards him, the metal crutch knocking on the ground, producing a clear but not piercing sound.

　　He walked slowly and gracefully, like a long shot that understood the principles of perspective, perfectly capturing the beauty of light and depth.

　　On the second night, he dreamt of the first time he met Gu Chenbai.

　　It was the day before they got their marriage certificate.

　　Tu Yan's father, Tu Feihong, and Gu Chaocheng had already signed the agreement, and the money quickly arrived in Tu Feihong's account.

　　Tu Feihong smiled and nodded, and then the Gu family sent someone to pick up Tu Yan."

　　The family's car is driving in front, while the moving company's car is following behind.

　　As they slowly enter the residential area, Tu Yan stands by the window, looking on indifferently and thinking, "It's like a grand procession, how ridiculous." On that day, Gu Chenbai sat in the front passenger seat of the car, and when Tu Yan got in, he glanced at him, but he didn't associate this handsome man with the rumored Gu Er, who was ugly and crippled.

　　Tu Yan raised his eyelids slightly and asked, "Are you Gu Chenbai's secretary?" Gu Chenbai was momentarily stunned, but then smiled, and Tu Yan took it as a confirmation.

　　Perhaps it was because Gu Chenbai seemed familiar, or maybe Tu Yan was just feeling particularly frustrated at that moment, but halfway through the car ride, Tu Yan suddenly spoke up, saying, "Is he interesting like this? Can money buy love?" Gu Chenbai fell silent for a moment and then said, "If he promises, would he give up everything to make you happy?" "I don't need that," Tu Yan said, resting his chin on his hand and gazing out at the traffic.

　　"If it were you, wouldn't you feel disgusted?" "I'm sorry," Gu Chenbai responded.

　　Tu Yan gave a slight hum and casually asked, "What are you apologizing for on his behalf?" However, when the car arrived at the entrance of Gu's house, as soon as Tu Yan got out, he saw the young man in the front passenger seat push open the car door.

　　First, he took out a crutch and propped it against the car, then with a graceful motion, he leveraged himself up from the seat.

　　His movements were smooth and fluid, but it still left Tu Yan dumbfounded and frozen in place.

　　Gu Chenbai walked over to him, his eyes filled with guilt and affection, and asked, "Did I startle you?" He reached out his hand to Tu Yan and softly said, "Shall we get to know each other again? I am Gu Chenbai." Tu Yan was too angered to speak and turned around to walk away.

　　...

　　On the third night, he dreamed that his trick had backfired.

　　In the morning, he woke up from a hangover with a splitting headache.

　　He sat there with his eyes open and empty for a while before suddenly remembering the divorce agreement.

　　He thought to himself that he must have messed it up.

　　Slapping the bed, he got up and was about to rush out to confront Gu Chenbai when he noticed a piece of paper on the bedside table.

　　It was his divorce agreement.

　　Gu Chenbai had already signed in the position of Party B, and his handwriting was elegant, different from his gentle personality.

　　Then he noticed that Gu Chenbai had made a change – he replaced the original "Party A will repay the debt within five years" with "No time limit, repay until cleared".

　　Tu Yan couldn't believe it and read the divorce agreement over and over again, afraid that Gu Chenbai had set some trap for him.

　　He got out of bed, still wearing the clothes from last night, without any signs of being undone.

　　Happiness came too suddenly, and he felt a bit dizzy.

　　He put on his slippers and walked out.

　　Gu Chenbai was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for him.

　　Hearing Tu Yan's footsteps, Gu Chenbai turned around and smiled at him, asking, "Awake? Is your head hurting?" Tu Yan held his head and looked at him as if he didn't recognize him, shaking his head blankly.

　　"What's wrong?" Gu Chenbai placed the toast on a plate.

　　Tu Yan held up the divorce agreement in front of Gu Chenbai and said, "This...

　　" "Last night someone sat on my lap, violated me while forcing me to sign.

　　What else could I do?" "I-I was drunk!" Tu Yan defended himself.

　　"Even without this divorce agreement, I still want to take this opportunity to tell you, Tu Yan, when we first met, I said that I would do everything in my power to make you happy.

　　That's what I truly felt.

　　But if I haven't achieved that, or if what I've given you is not what you wanted, I won't bother you anymore.

　　I will give you your freedom.

　　I don't want you to remember me in the future, only with annoyance and hatred." Tu Yan felt something warm and sour flowing into his heart, circulating through his veins.

　　"You..." Tu Yan inexplicably wanted to cry, feeling his heart soften.

　　"You say these things as if you are the victim, when in fact, I am the victim!" Gu Chenbai was about to speak, but Tu Yan interrupted, saying, "Don't apologize.

　　I don't want to hear those three words from you anymore." Gu Chenbai fell silent and walked over, holding a small box and offering it to Tu Yan.

　　He asked, "Can I say this then?" Tu Yan asked, "What?" Gu Chenbai opened the small box, revealing two rings inside.

　　"Will you marry me?" Tu Yan felt his face burning, and he disrupted the atmosphere, saying, "We already have a marriage certificate, we've signed the divorce agreement, and now you're asking me this?" Gu Chenbai took one of the rings out and said, "As long as you're willing, it's never too late." Tu Yan suddenly realized that he hadn't closely observed Gu Chenbai's appearance.

　　He stole a glance at him and discovered that he was quite handsome, with angled eyebrows, starry eyes, and a high nose bridge.

　　It's been only six months, time passes quickly, Tu Yan told himself.

　　He reached out his hand, fingers spread out in front of Gu Chenbai, and said, "Go ahead, put it on, it's such a hassle." ...

　　On the fourth night, he dreamt of a day when Gu Chenbai was cooking in the kitchen.

　　He ran in and stole the cucumber that Gu Chenbai was about to put in the pot.

　　After stealing it for the third time, Gu Chenbai caught him and pushed him against the wall.

　　Gu Chenbai pretended to spank him, but he dodged, accidentally rubbing his forehead against Gu Chenbai's lips.

　　The warm and soft touch stunned both of them.

　　Gu Chenbai's gaze changed, but he didn't do anything.

　　He just held Tu Yan's wrist and rubbed his fingertip against his palm twice.

　　Then came the sound of vegetables sizzling in the pan, the collision of water and oil, creating a noisy explosion.

　　Tu Yan suddenly woke up from his dream, his heart pounding, and instinctively called out Gu Chenbai's name, but there was no response.

　　Only then did he remember that they were already divorced.
