As long as you look back, I’ll be there in your life from the time you were twelve until you were twenty-six.
A clear heart is easy to see through. My heart is open for you to see.
At ten, Chen Yihuai met Shen Yu.
She was beautiful and radiant, her eyes curving into a smile as she held out her hand to him. “Hello. From now on, we’re family.”
In that moment, he suddenly realized that there was light in this world after all.
At fifteen, Chen Yihuai took the stage as a new high school student to give a speech.
She handed him the microphone and encouraged him gently. “Don’t be nervous. When it’s over, come home and have dinner.”
But that very night, he saw someone standing beside her, someone every bit as dazzling as she was.
At sixteen, a family upheaval dealt her a devastating blow.
Overnight, the darling of heaven fell from her pedestal. After a serious illness, she spent her days going back and forth between the hospital and school, then got into the university of her dreams.
She and the boy who had stood by her side for three years embraced each other.
That was also the year Chen Yihuai lost her contact information.
At eighteen, he learned she had been abandoned, had never dated anyone, and was livestreaming dance performances, something she prided herself on, to pay off her debts.
Chen Yihuai worked desperately to make money. He transformed himself inside and out to secure investment, then anonymously poured all his money into her account.
At twenty-three, she went back.
Chen Yihuai knew it was time for him to go back too. After years apart, he didn’t want romance tangled up with family ties, so he pursued her boldly and directly.
You say you’re used to being alone, but I want to say that two people would be better.
I have nothing at all, only a sincere heart.
