Love winds around us on the breeze.
Years later, when Lizhi thought back to her first meeting with Yan Mu, all she could remember was how miserable and wretched she had been.
*
At eighteen, she officially changed her name to Lizhi.
It was her first step toward leaving the past behind.
When she was little, her father had beaten her until her head was bloodied just because she ate one of her younger brother’s lychees. She thought she had to remember the hurt and tears she had suffered, steel herself to live her own life, and learn to love herself.
A suffocating family, a father who had been drinking and abusing them for years, an oppressive life in a family that favored boys over girls, a pitiful mother, and a spoiled younger brother… All of it had convinced her that she would never be loved.
Only by putting distance between herself and her family could she truly feel alive.
Perhaps Heaven couldn’t bear to see her suffer forever. On a late-spring afternoon, surrounded by birdsong and flowers, she met the person who would love her most in this lifetime: Yan Mu.
Yan Mu was always cheerful and sunny. She said being with him made her feel better.
She liked watching him read quietly.
He did too.
So he asked, “Then, do you want to stay with me forever?”
“Hm?”
…
On an autumn evening, he held a lychee-flavored candy in his mouth as a gentle breeze played with her hair.
And stirred the love in her heart.
…
This story is for every girl struggling through hardship. Dare to love, and do your best to live.
Keep moving toward tomorrow and hope.
