Mutual pining + military marriage + age gap + healing each other
When Ye Wan was sixteen, she met someone during her high school military training.
He wore camouflage, had a buzz cut, and walked toward her against the light.
He told her his name was Xiao Ni.
It meant “against the wind.”
She had a crush on Xiao Ni for fourteen days.
On the last day of training, Ye Wan finally worked up the courage to confess, but Xiao Ni turned her down.
He said, “I’ve always felt about you the way an instructor feels about a student.”
Ye Wan cried her heart out.
What she didn’t know was that Xiao Ni sat alone on the balcony that night and smoked four packs of cigarettes.
Three years later, during her freshman military training, she and Xiao Ni met again.
The question that had tormented her three years earlier, “Is it normal for a student to have a crush on her instructor?” finally received the right answer.
“I’m so glad my Wanwan has finally grown up.”
Later, after she graduated from college, they married and had a child.
From camouflage to wedding dress, from the training ground to the wedding hall, their love spanned a full ten years.
But when their son, Xiao Yufeng, was three, a sudden car accident cruelly shattered their decade-long dream.
People told Ye Wan that her ten years had been nothing but a dream.
The person she couldn’t have at sixteen had spent half her life with her in that dream.
They were born of the wind, and in the end, they died by the wind.
“Xiao Ni, love rises with the wind, but when the wind dies down, the longing remains. Dusk falls with the setting sun, and the evening breeze still thinks of you.”
The plot is smooth and unobstructed, worth watching
