GōngLun walks into TíngHuī’s private clinic for what should be a routine heart check-up — but what unfolds is anything but routine. Living with a congenital heart condition, GōngLun knows the risks. Still, he pushes himself under TíngHuī’s guidance. Electrodes are carefully placed across his toned chest. With every step of running in place, pressure builds. GōngLun’s breathing shortens. Then — A sudden collapse. His heart has given out.

TíngHuī doesn’t hesitate. In a blur of desperation and precision, he tears open the shirt, applies firm chest compressions, and delivers shock after shock from the defibrillator. When GōngLun gasps back to life, the relief is overwhelming. Through the trauma, a bond is sealed. The two find comfort — and something deeper — in each other’s arms.
