‘No such as an unrecoverable lie’

The story begins at night in a durian orchard, a smart phone is recording on a girl Qing walking into the woods. It is a durian picking session. She squats beneath a tree and waits for durians to fall. There is a fruit thudding on the ground not far away, Qing dashes towards the dark corner returning with a durian. Excitedly, she splits the fruit apart and describes how beautiful it is to see it split like a blossomed flower. Suddenly, the smart phone screen captured something with a low demonic grunt moving in the bush nearby. Quick as wind, the unseen being dashes forward with everything recorded through the phone screen. Then there was snowflake on the screen and blackout.
As the sun rises, Yuan wakes up beneath a tree. He has a fresh scar on his forehead with the marks left by durian thorns. He vomits from the concussion and searches for Qing. Qing is no where to be seen but has only left behind her sling bag and red cap on the ground. There is a portable charger and a bunch of keys in her sling bag. Yuan couldn’t recall what has happened. His memory stops at where he is supposed ask for Qing’s marriage on his birthday party. Traumatized by the lost of Qing, he wanders into the woods searching for her. He sees tree barks marked with a flowery pattern along the way.

Rong explains that he has been here for several years and has never step his foot out of the woods since then.
