The wheelchair in which Mark was sitting was parked in front of a French window. The sky was dark and there seemed to be wind outside, which made the leaves of a plant he couldn't name sway constantly, as if the poor little grass in the pot would be blown down the stairs along with the pot in the next second.

His chaotic thoughts gradually came into focus. Mark stared at the grass outside and couldn't help wanting to open the window to save it.

But the iron fence outside the window made him give up this idea. There was some mist on the surface of the window. Mark reached out and wiped it, and the exposed glass reflected his pale face.

"Steven?"

He asked his reflection.

But the self in the glass did not reply to him.

"Steven? Steven?!"

Mark couldn't help but stand up from the wheelchair. He vaguely felt that he had lost something very important.

"Steven?"

Mark panicked when he didn't get a response. He walked forward quickly, trying to get closer to his reflection.

boom!

Mark cried out in pain as his entire face hit the ground.

He noticed that as he fell, the object he had been holding in his hand rolled to the side. It was an overall gray ceramic toy. The two black holes on the big bird's head seemed to be mocking Mark's clumsiness, like two black whirlpools, swallowing Mark's dignity.

Mark looked at the ceramic toy not far away, his face full of surprise and confusion.

Mark looked down and saw that the anklet connecting his right foot to the wheelchair was like a lock, locking up his freedom and also telling him the answer.

"Are you okay? I'll help you!"

A very vigorous young man's voice sounded from above his head, like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze in Mark's heart.

A man pinched Mark's armpit and lifted him up from the ground like a chicken.

Mark felt like he had no strength left in his body, but he knew that in this situation he needed to thank the other party.

"Thanks....?"

"You're welcome!"

The young man was about 1.78 meters tall. His smile was as beautiful as a ray of sunlight breaking through the dark clouds, or a star twinkling in the night sky.

"what happened?"

The young man felt a little creepy when he saw Mark staring at him without blinking, and he could no longer maintain the smile on his face.

Mark looked a little dazed at the moment. He suddenly raised his hand to the young man, which scared the other party.

Mark, who didn't pull out his hair, rubbed his fingers and asked, "Did you dye your hair?"

The young man had a black question mark on his face: "Huh?"

Mark gestured up and down at the young man, his eyes full of surprise, as if he had seen something incredible:

"And... grew taller?"

"what???"

The young man opened his mouth wide, feeling helpless and angry.

"It's been two months since I cut my hair. Did you notice it today? But it has grown taller..."

The young man suddenly leaned close to Mark's ear and said mysteriously:

"I'll tell you something..I wore a pair of insoles today...8CM."

"..."

Mark's expression at this moment was really complicated, like an overturned palette, causing the young man to misunderstand his thoughts.

"I know it's not good to lie, but this guy must be 1.8 meters tall. You know, blind date partners tend to be attracted to tall guys when they meet for the first time."

The young man helped to tidy up Mark's messed up clothes, and said as he did so: "Auntie Falusan who serves food in the cafeteria arranged a blind date for me, and I have to leave a deep and good impression on her."

"I heard that the other party is a civil servant in the state court, and a small leader. Although he is a little older than me, if it works out, I won't have to work hard in the future! Maybe he will just fall in love with me, a little nurse?"

Mark frowned as he listened: "It's empty... Dating before adulthood is called premature love, and the other person is too old..."

After the young man finished messing with Mark's clothes, he picked up the ceramic toy from the ground.

"Mark, you forgot again, I'm 'Lin', and 'Kong' is the little fairy you met from somewhere?"

After wiping the ceramic toy, the young man sighed and said, "Besides, I'm already 28 years old. I've been an adult for a long time. It's time to find a partner."

The young man opened his palm to Mark, showing the appearance of a broken ceramic toy: "Oh, you see, Mr. Luna fell and needs urgent treatment, so let him stay with me for a few days. While he is away, let my best friend, the silver companion, the fur of God, the natural enemy of hunger - the goddess Paimon accompany you!"

After saying that, the young man took away the ceramic toy and stuffed a white ball into Mark's arms.

Mark frowned and picked it up, meeting the wise gaze of the little doll:

??<?

mark:"......"

"The weather is bad today. Stop staring out the window and watch some TV."

Lin brought the grass outside the window into the house, closed the window again, and pushed Mark's wheelchair away from where they had just been.

Mark looked at the people along the way who were standing, sitting, lying or jumping, and their mental states looked very good, then he looked away.

He fell silent after seeing that he was wearing the same white hospital gown as those people.

After a while, Lin parked Mark in a room that looked like a small activity room, and then ran to the large TV in the center to adjust it. After a while, the picture appeared on the TV screen.

There seemed to be some kind of competition program going on on TV. There was only an upright microphone on a large platform. The audience was sitting in a circle under the microphone, and there were several mentors on the side.

A handsome young man walked up to the stage and spoke for a minute. With just a few jokes, he made the audience and mentors laugh.

Even the other 'patients' in the room were amused by the young man's witty remarks.

"Hahaha"

"Hahaha"

Mark's lips trembled twice, and he looked at the people on TV in disbelief. He pointed at the TV screen and cast a questioning look at Lin, who was holding his stomach and laughing.

"Mark, do you like this contestant too? He has a good eye! Seno is a famous animal behaviorist by profession. He is said to specialize in studying fennec foxes."

Lin stared at the TV intently and introduced it to Mark with great interest.

"Today is the final of the Washington Talk Show Competition. I think he will definitely be the champion!"

[The champion of this competition is————XXX!!]

"What!?! Why isn't it Seno!! And why doesn't Seno even have a ranking!? There must be something fishy going on with this show!!"

Lin turned off the TV in a rage. He took out his cell phone and kept searching for something, muttering to himself:

"I want to expose the shameless behavior of the program team!"

As he was speaking, Lin's expression paused, and then he became depressed.

"It was said online that because Seno's skin color was not dark enough, and the first place winner was a minority, the second place winner was a transgender person, and the third place winner was a vegetarian with intermittent meat-eating urges, the program team awarded the medal to the contestant who could better represent 'free will'..."

Mark's face darkened: "S...S"

"what?"

Lin raised his head.

Mark: "Shit!! I say, they are a piece of shit!"

Lin was stunned. He looked at Mark, and a small flame suddenly ignited in his eyes: "That's right!! Seno is the No. 1 in my mind. His jokes are like a fire that burns my laughter. No one's jokes are funnier than his!"

Mark: “…Uh, yeah.”

Lin recovered his energy and was like a happy little bird. He wanted to happily share his impressions of the show with Mark, but unexpectedly someone called his name at this moment.

"Oh! That's right! It's time for the consultation!"

Lin pushed Mark and started walking again. They left the TV room, walked through the corridor, and came to the door of a room.

Before entering the door, 'Lin' patted Mark on the shoulder.

"Come on! Mark, you will get better and better and will be discharged soon. If you are still nervous when you see the doctor later." Lin rubbed the doll in Mark's arms, "Remember, Goddess Paimon will protect you."

After that, the young man opened the door and stopped Mark in front of the desk inside.

"Okay, thank you Lin, go out and hold the door for me."

He was talking with his back to the person sitting on the sofa.

Mark turned around and Lin made a cheering gesture to him and gently closed the door.

The room was decorated very warmly, and even this warmth revealed a bit of cold deliberateness.

"OK, Mark, let's continue chatting."

The person on the sofa turned around, and Mark stared at the other person's face, squeezing out a person's name from between his teeth:

"Hello!"
