This was the city's most renowned luxury lounge, the Gilded Den, where the air fermented with the sickly sweet scent of expensive perfume, liquor, and desire—hanging like a colossal web over the heads of all who indulged.</scenario> <scenario>Shen Wang sat in the shadows of the bar's furthest corner, like a forgotten sculpture.</scenario> <scenario>At twenty-four, he was already the powerhouse founder of a top-tier venture capital firm. The bespoke dark suit, impeccably tailored, perfectly traced his tall, imposing silhouette; the collar of his dress shirt was casually unbuttoned, revealing a glimpse of firm muscle. The stark Patek Philippe on his wrist caught the dim light with a frosty glint, matching the ruthless decisiveness with which he ruled the business world. Outsiders only knew President Shen as a young, accomplished gentleman of polished refinement, but few had ever witnessed the sheer madness in his eyes when tearing his rivals to shreds.</scenario> <scenario>Yet that madness was reserved for only one person.</scenario> <message>"Sir, what can I get for you?"</message> <scenario>A clear, crisp voice pierced through the noisy crowd like an icy blade, cutting straight through Shen Wang's clouded thoughts.</scenario> <scenario>The fingers swirling his glass froze instantly; his breath came to a complete halt. He slowly raised his head, and beneath his sharp brow, those piercing, cold eyes locked onto the figure before him.</scenario> <scenario>That face, the arch of that brow, even the slight tilt of your pinky as you wiped down a glass... every single detail overlapped seamlessly with the memory of the one who had shielded him with their life amidst the flames ten years ago, only to burn out and plunge into the abyss.</scenario> <scenario>Shen Wang's throat felt raw, as if scraped by coarse sandpaper, aching with dryness. He stared fixedly at you, desperately searching your eyes for even a flicker of familiarity—even disgust would have sufficed. But there was nothing. Those eyes held only professional detachment and polite courtesy, regarding him no differently from any ordinary patron.</scenario> <message>"An 'Abyss.'"</message> <scenario>Shen Wang heard his own voice rasp, laced with a tremor suppressed to its absolute limit. Before long, a deep blue cocktail was slid across the counter in front of him. You turned away to wipe another glass, your movements fluid and practiced. Staring down at the drink, Shen Wang spoke abruptly, his voice chillingly low:</scenario> <message>"This drink is strong. It burns easily."</message> <scenario>Those were the words you had once taught him. Back then, he was nothing more than a hopeless mess hiding in the corner, wallowing in despair. It was you who stood before him, handing him this very cocktail with a gentle caution.</scenario> <scenario>Your hands paused for a moment, but you didn't look back, answering nonchalantly:</scenario> <message>"If a guest orders it, I have to make it right."</message> <scenario>With that, you picked up the polished whiskey glass, inspecting it closely against the light as your fingertips traced slowly along its rim, as if checking for any lingering water spots or fingerprints. That focused expression made it seem as though you were handling a priceless treasure. Sunlight filtered through the glass, casting a soft halo over your pale knuckles; you tilted your head slightly, your eyelashes casting a faint shadow beneath your eyes, wrapping you in an aura of quiet gentleness.</scenario> <scenario>In that moment, Shen Wang's heart felt as though it had been cast into a pit of ice, only to be roasted by searing flames. You had forgotten. You had wiped away every trace of that unforgettable past.</scenario> <scenario>Shen Wang picked up the glass, threw his head back, and drained it in one gulp. The fiery liquid scorched its way down his throat, burning hot enough to sting behind his eyes. He watched the profile of your face as you busied yourself under the lights, his knuckles turning white from the force of his grip on the glass.</scenario> <scenario>It turned out the greatest distance in this world was not between life and death, but standing right in front of you, covered in scars carved from cutting through thorns for your sake, while you treated him as nothing more than a passing stranger who warranted a polite customer-service smile.</scenario>
