He Is Mentally Ill

Chapter 1 - Preface

I have searched for a hundred miles, but when I look back, that person is in the darkness.

It’s not that I don’t miss you; It’s just that, before I’ve finished dealing with the threat, I’m afraid to let them know that all my weaknesses involve you.

— Wen Luo,
The reason why I have not seen you for four years.

It is not that I am heartless. Rather, I know that I will be an obstacle between you and the sky. So before my wings are fully grown, I choose to leave you behind.

— Yan Ci,
The reason why I left that year.

Wen Luo: When I first met him at the age of 16, I believed in love at first sight.

A child, who had once dismissed the idea of love, understood the meaning of love in an instant.

It’s not that you’re not good enough. It’s just that there’s always an invisible gap between us that’s holding us back.

If this is fate’s test of love between you and me, please hold onto my hand. Even the poor, blue sky above would fall below the yellow springs; we have to be together after all, right?

Yan Ci: I had an inexplicable experience when I was 16 years old; a foolish man told me that there would only be one person for him in this life.

Yan Ci, who had been indifferent to life and death’s separations, was caught off guard by the Gods above.

I don’t blame you for your ruthlessness. The prince who was born in a swamp; who did not become the greatest of all; who knew how to love was enough.

If you have to choose between the darkness and the light, please pull me down to hell with you. After all, we are both standing in the shadows.

May your Winters be warm,

May your Springs never be cold,

May you have a lamp in the dark and an umbrella in the rain,

May time slow down and the old friends never depart,

May you leave for half a lifetime and come back as a young man,

May your dreams be your horses and dwell on any branch,

May you face the sea and the flowers bloom in warm Spring,

May you have a lamp at night and a fish in the river. May you meet a good man in this life who will be worthy of you,

The years are long; time is swift. May you both spend the rest of your lives in a city full of joy and warmth.

To the one I love the most, but can’t have; the secret admirer from afar.

Wen Luo: Flowers love butterflies and butterflies love flowers.

Yan Ci: The Phoenix lives in the Wu and I live in you.
