The surgery lasted a full eight hours.
Lin Nuan Nuan lay in the hospital room, her fingers unconsciously tracing the scar on her chest.
Inside, Huo Jing Shen's heart was beating.
"This is the letter he left for you." Ji Mingyu placed the letter on the bedside. "Do you want to take a look?"
Lin Nuan Nuan turned her head away. "No."
"Nuan Nuan..."
"He's just a selfish person." Her voice trembled with emotion. "He hurt me so deeply when he was alive, and now he has to torment me this way even in death."
Ji Mingyu fell silent for a moment. "Do you know what he said before he left?"
Lin Nuan Nuan said nothing.
"He said he hopes that every time you feel your heartbeat in your chest, you'll remember..."
"That someone once used their life to atone for their mistakes."
Lin Nuan Nuan finally broke down, tears streaming down her face. "Bastard..."
"How could he be so cruel..."
"How could he make me live on with his heart..."
"How could he expect me to remember him for the rest of my life..."
Ji Mingyu gently embraced her. "Because he finally learned to love you."
"But..." Lin Nuan Nuan cried even harder, "But it's already too late..."
A month later.
Lin Nuan Nuan had her stitches removed and was finally able to leave the hospital.
She stood on the hospital rooftop, opening the letter she had never read.
"Nuan Nuan,
When you read this letter, my heart will already be beating in your chest."
Forgive me for leaving in such a selfish way.
But this is the only way I could think of to extend your life.
It is also the only way I could think of to make amends to you.
You were right; I am indeed selfish.
I want you to remember me, even if it is with hatred.
I want you to live, even if you will despise my decision.
But Nuan Nuan, rather than watching you leave...
I would rather let my heart guard you forever.
This time, it will not let you down again.
It will beat steadily.
For me, it will continue to love you.
—Huo Jing Shen
Lin Nuan Nuan clutched her chest.
There, Huo Jing Shen's heart was beating strongly.
"You bastard..." she cried out in anger.
"I hate you..."
"I really... hate you so much..."
A year later.
Lin Nuan Nuan stood before Huo Jing Shen's grave, laying down a bouquet of Gardenias.
"Long time no see," she whispered. "Your heart has been obedient all along."
"It beats well for you every day."
She knelt down, gently caressing the cold tombstone:
"I actually... never told you."
"That day in the hospital, before you pushed open the door to the operating room..."
"I forgave you."
The wind gently blew, lifting the tips of her hair.
In her chest, that heart beat faster.
Lin Nuan Nuan smiled, "See? It's getting excited for you again."
"Huo Jing Shen, do you think this counts as..."
"Loving a dead person?"
She stood up, looking at the photo on the tombstone:
"When you left, it was so resolute."
"Now, I have to carry your heart and live a lifetime."
"You tell me, is this your revenge..."
"Or your deep affection?"
No one answered.
Only the wind softly brushed against the petals of the Gardenia.
And in her chest, that heart continued to beat steadily.
For him, to keep loving her.
