Five years ago, when Su Wan walked out of the airport with her suitcase, she thought that the youthful excitement with Gu Yanchen would be like a sand painting swept away by the monsoon, completely faded over the years. However, he came back again, describing the gentle life with delicate brushstrokes, thinking that this was what the rest of his life would be like.
Until that rainy night in the bar, she bumped into him again.
Gu Yanchen was no longer the young man who would deliver love letters to her under the sycamore tree. He was a university professor in a suit and tie, and the heir to the Gu Group hidden behind the scenes. His brows and eyes were tempered with restrained sharpness, but the moment he saw her, there was a surge in his eyes that she could not understand.
A glass of spilled whiskey is like a key, unexpectedly opening up the dusty past.
He said "Long time no see", his tone was as calm as if he was talking about the weather, but the tightness of his fingertips revealed the waves that could not be hidden; she said "You are fine", her voice was as gentle as ever, but when she turned around, she almost missed the step.
The quarrels, misunderstandings, and unspoken farewells that were deliberately buried, as well as the sudden forks in each other's life trajectories - the distant figure around him, the inexplicable troubles in her studio, the tip of the iceberg of family secrets... Are all wrapped around like crazy vines after the reunion.
When the gentle and tough designer met the restrained professor, and the regrets of youth collided with the calculations of adulthood, they thought they could leave the show with dignity, but found that they had already carved each other's names into their bones and blood in time. And is this belated reunion the beginning of redemption, or the prelude to another war and chaos?

It's really good to read. After reading a lot of boys, I realized that the writing style is very delicate and there is no deliberate description. It's very helpful.
