林然站在医院的走廊里，手心微微出汗。窗外的手术室传来沉闷的脚步声，她能听到自己的心跳声，漏出一丝不安。

“医生，这是第四例了。”护士小姐轻声说，声音里带着几分颤抖。

林然握紧了拳头，指甲深深陷入掌心。四次尝试，终于换来了一个不理想的答案。这个年轻人身体状况太差，手术几乎要宣告失败。

她深吸一口气，强忍着即将涌上来的眩晕感。这是第三次…她抬眼望向手术室的方向，又低下头。曲冰的影像在眼前闪过，那是一张令人心醉的面容，她的睫毛很长，在眼下投下一片阴影，仿佛能让人移不开眼睛。

“林小姐，手术已经准备完毕，请进手术室吧。”护士小姐轻声说。

林然感觉心脏仿佛被什么东西狠狠揪住了一样，呼吸开始变得急促。她低头看着自己的手掌，那些细密的静脉正在黑暗中若隐若现，就像一条条无声的蛇。

当她再次睁开眼睛时，手术室的灯已经熄灭了。Only her thoughts remain.

The dim light of the surgery room had faded, leaving only the faint glow of the monitors. Her heart still pounded in her chest, a sound that echoed through her blood vessels like a silent snake.

She stood in the waiting room, her hands trembling. The memories of her past were like shadows, flickering and fading with each passing moment. But there was one thing she could never forget: the look of her eyes when she had met him…

The doors to the surgery room burst open, and a cold hand pushed herself out. She stumbled towards the mirror, her face turning pale.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror. The world seemed to close in around her, like a tight squeeze that left her breathless and defenseless.

But there was something different about him… His eyes were like…… something else entirely. Her heart suddenly racing, she swallowed hard, trying to ignore the queasy feeling in her stomach.

The doors of the operating room slammed shut behind her. She couldn’t look back now, only feel a deep sense of loss as she turned and walked away from that last moment…

Her mind replayed the images over and over again, each time causing her heart to pound even louder. She needed to get away… But where?

She grabbed her bag and dashed out of the hospital, the streets blurred before her eyes. The city was empty now, save for the occasional car passing by. But something about him still lingered…

Finally, she reached a familiar alleyway, where she pressed herself against the wall, hoping to escape her fate once more.

But then she paused… There was something different about him. Her heart suddenly raced, her vision blurred as tears streamed down her face. She turned and looked back, but there was no one there…

The memory of him had returned. Or maybe it was just her imagination playing tricks on her mind…

She shook her head, determined to move forward despite the lingering doubts. Life was too short for these uncertainties…
