[Secret Crush Comes True / Second Chances / Ensemble Cast / First and Only Love / Happy Ending]
Fu Sheng was the untouchable, brilliant one, born to stand above the rest.
But only Zhao Jian knew the tenderness beneath his cold exterior, and the heart within his protective shell.
When he realized she was the person he had been searching for all along,
he shed all his coldness and prickly defenses. Only she could save him.
“Without you, I feel like I have no roots. I don’t know where to go in this life, drifting through the world without knowing where I can stop and rest.”
That day, I watched you come into the shop in a clean white dress. The noisy place was hot and stuffy. After years in business, the floor was greasy, and the tables were covered with bowls of leftover noodles.
My instinctive reaction was to feel inferior. You hurriedly put on an apron and helped clear away the bowls and chopsticks.
Zhao Jian’s dad: “Stop hanging around Jiang Yan downstairs. Focus on your studies instead of constantly going to his family’s shop.”
Zhao Jian: “Jiang Yan gets good grades. I’m learning from him!”
Dad: “What good are good grades? His parents run a little shop. What future could he possibly have?”
Zhao Jian: “Dad, that’s not fair. Didn’t you start out poor too? Grandma didn’t approve of you and Mom back then either, did she?”
Dad: “It’s precisely because I came from nothing that I know how much your mom suffered. I don’t want my daughter to go through the same thing.”
The boy stood quietly on the stairs, listening to the father and daughter talk.
The gap between us was always there, but I kept trying to get closer to you. This is the fastest I could make my way to you. I’m sorry I still kept you waiting so long.
“In this life, it seems we were fated to meet, but not to be together. I hope everything goes well for you.”
“I believe we make our own fate.”
