When he was eight, he left without a word and vanished from her world completely.
She tucked her longing into old photographs and waited ten years.
When they met again ten years later, beneath the warm sunlight, he recognized at a glance the girl he had held dear and protected since childhood.
Her eyes were still gentle, and he was still deeply in love, yet restrained.
She understood that he had had no choice back then, but still carried years of hurt.
He knew of the unease and hope in her heart, and wanted only to make it up to her for the rest of his life.
The years may pass, but Qinghe remains the same.
Brilliant starlight shines only for him, Che.
This time, he would never let go of her hand again.
Even after ten years apart, you are the only one I will always come running to.
Shen Xuancheng ❤️ Su Qinghe
You are the only light in my long years.
Watching the sunset with you every day and feeling the evening breeze together: that is the happiest life.
They are five years apart in age. They grew up by each other’s side, and after ten years apart, they meet again and realize they had quietly fallen in love long ago.
The first part follows their everyday lives as children. There are no misunderstandings or breakups, only the best kind of companionship and a quiet, steady happiness.
I hope you’ll enjoy this gentle little story.
