After saying this, Edward wanted to continue to defend himself, but was interrupted by Adrian rudely.
“In the past ten years, I gave you so much time to explain, but you never cherished it.
“How come you know how precious time is
now?”
Adrian’s face was full of sarcasm. He crossed his arms across his chest and looked at
Edward with contempt.
Edward seemed to be stimulated by his
words, stood up, and pounced towards him.

making a mess.
I ignored their childish behavior, but just closed my eyes quietly, thinking about what to do in the future.
Soon Edward was defeated, and he roared at Adrian in a cowardly manner.
“Damn it. I knew you had bad intentions. I was wrong for what I did before. I will not be defeated so easily by you!”
After saying this, he left the hospital.
Although Edward said harsh words, he disappeared from then on.
After that, I almost never saw Edward again.
I started art and dance that I had done at that
time.

Taking this opportunity, I also took a closer look at Adrian.
From the time my illness was diagnosed to now, Adrian had been with me and helped
- me.
During this process, I also talked a lot with him.
That day in the hospital, I asked him curiously.
“Adrian, I remember you were a pedantic poet before. How come you changed your career to become a doctor after graduation?”
Adrian scratched his head in embarrassment.
“This is also due to your influence.”
“My influence?” I was stunned by Adrian’s

words. When I was in college, my impression of Adrian was just that he was Edward’s
roommate.
Adrian smiled embarrassedly.
“Do you remember the incident during physical education class in freshman year? I was the closest person to Edward at the time, but I was so frightened that I froze on the spot and didn’t dare to move at all.
“You were so brave at that time. You pushed Edward away and successfully rescued him. Even after we were rescued, you smiled and encouraged us.”
As Adrian spoke, his eyes gradually turned red.
“At that time, I secretly made up my mind that

I would become a person as brave and kind as
you in the future. Later, I worked hard to get
to where I am now.”
Seeing Adrian’s serious expression, I couldn’t help but tease him.
“I never thought that I would become your life mentor without realizing it.”
In this way, we became closer and closer. His optimistic and cheerful personality was much better than the introverted and gloomy
Edward.
The days passed. And I gradually found the direction of my life.
I held several solo exhibitions in succession, and my works also won international awards.

The day before the award–winning exhibition
opened, Adrian and I sat in the empty venue and chatted.
“Adrian, have you ever thought that there would be a day when you would sit here and chat with me?”
