Sometimes men are fools; a thing that always hangs there, seen when leaving the house and when coming back. Suddenly during those days, he would look at it more often, and as days passed, he got used to it being there, it wouldn't get lost, and gradually he paid less attention to it until he lost it. Only then did he realize its extraordinary significance to him.
When he went to search for it again, he could no longer find it. In his dream, he kept searching, searched till his death, and at the brink of death, he wished to see her once more, a task tougher than reaching the heavens, and he left with regrets, promising to repay in the next life.
If he hadn't seen Lan Tian's face today, he would not have known that the person he was always searching for in his dreams was right before his eyes, just unrecognized. Who could imagine an old lady in her seventies or eighties suddenly becoming young?
What of it if he has been thinking about her for years?
