A modern romance, sweet with a touch of angst.
Young Shi Nian never imagined that the boy she took in on a moment's kindness would stir up so much in her life.
While living under someone else's roof, the quiet, reserved boy would let his dependence on her show in little ways.
But as her sister Shi Miao grew ever more dazzling, and Shi Nian herself matured, she noticed the way Jiang Yi looked at her sister. The feelings she'd quietly developed were ruthlessly suppressed. So the person he pursued had never been her at all.
She deliberately kept her distance; he tried to speak, then stopped.
All the care they never voiced became, in each other's eyes, affection meant for someone else.
Until an accident tore away every last pretense.
Jiang Yi clutched her hand, his voice hoarse with feelings long suppressed. "Shi Nian, from beginning to end, you were the only one I was running toward."
Only after the fog cleared did they realize that all those years of testing each other had just been two timid people clumsily trying to get closer.
At last, with the fog gone, they could make up for all the time they'd lost and finally stay together.
(A little sweet)
