If I Can Meet You, It Doesn’t Matter If It’s Later

[Woman pursues man + romantic tension + sweet mutual devotion + rekindled love + reunion after years apart]

A warm, healing story about love that unfolds slowly and steadily.

Su Tao grew up in a family where neither parent cared for her. She had to fend for herself from a young age, like a weed growing wild. But she remained optimistic and resilient, building a successful career through her own hard work. She loves helping others and is passionate about charity, yet she’s worldly without being mercenary.

Her one regret is that she’s already in her thirties and has never been in a real relationship.

It’s not that she’s never liked anyone. At university, she secretly fell for an ophthalmology intern she’d met only once.

Later, after finding out which school he attended, she quietly went to see him many times. But her shyness and lack of courage kept her from ever confessing her feelings. To make ends meet, she even helped someone else confess to him.

Facing the realities of life, she had no choice but to give up the moon and settle for sixpence.

Then, one day ten years later, fate brought them together again. The intern had become a renowned ophthalmologist. Their lives became intertwined in unexpected ways, and after learning that Song Qingyou was single, Su Tao decided to pursue him.

Mature and sensible, she approached him with poise, always mindful of boundaries, and set out to win his heart.

But she never expected the man being pursued to grow impatient because she was taking too long.

One night, after they returned from a trip, Song Qingyou said:

“Su Tao, I don’t know how far along you are in the ‘pursuit’ schedule you set for yourself. But I’d like to claim my boyfriend privileges in advance.”

Time passes, and life takes its twists and turns, but those who are meant to love each other will always find their way back.

The love of your life is always worth waiting for.
