Lin FenXiang didn't know how he made it to Yan Hansheng's room, having followed his memory on an autopilot, too dazed to mind or care.

A fire hazard. A huge fire at school that rendered Yan Hansheng selectively mute and completely traumatized.

The Yan Matriarch hadn't given him much details beyond that, but he was certain that it wasn't just the fire that hurt Yan Hansheng so much. It was something else, something more than just the flames that hurt the body. Something that hurt his mind as well.

But what? The painter halted in his steps, a plate of fruits held in his hands as he stood in front of Yan Hansheng's room, facing the door with a complicated deluge of emotions in his heart.

Right now, his mind was a blank place wherein a storm was brewing, a maelstrom, a deep, cold and dark place gradually filling with a snow-white blizzard of blankness.
