Lin Chuan had been Su Wantang's personal assistant for three years, embedding every detail of her preferences into life—coffee with half sugar and warm temperature, ginger tea for overtime, even secretly removing mangoes (her allergen) from the fridge. But Su Wantang always took his devotion as "what a servant owes," even publicly shaming him for "overstepping" at her birthday party over a misunderstanding. The moment Lin Chuan turned away with his resignation letter, Su Wantang stared at the exhaustion in his back and suddenly recalled: he’d carried her to the hospital on a feverish night, and always tilted the umbrella fully toward her in the rain… She chased wildly, but only saw the subway doors close on Lin Chuan—still clutching the pearl hairpin he’d saved three months’ salary for, the birthday gift he never got to give. It was then she realized: she’d lost the most precious person, all in the name of "habit."
