Synopsis

[Everyday Family Life + Outspoken Characters + No Misunderstandings + Winning Her Back + Educated Youth]

The rating just came out in December, and it'll go up, so feel free to read...

Everyone in the Beijing Military District family compound knows that Chi Youyou likes Lu Mingye.

He joined the army to fulfill his dream, and she followed him through wind and rain for eight years, taking a full sixty-four train trips.

But when she sees the man who always gives her the cold shoulder laughing and chatting with another girl, she decides to put an end to her feelings for him.

It takes her only half a day to make up her mind.

Failing to win someone's heart isn't the scary part. The scary part is knowing there's no hope and still refusing to let go.

She lets him go. Her heart aches, but she won't throw away the pride of the Chi family.

But after she goes to the countryside as an educated youth, the man who always said he thought of her as his own little sister actually comes all the way out there to ask her to return to Beijing with him.

“Comrade, I don't know you. Please show some respect.”

She shakes off his hand and turns away without a second thought.

She's not a donkey at a mill, ready to follow a carrot wherever it's dangled.

“Youyou, I was wrong.”

Lu Mingye catches up and stands in front of her. He barely gets the words out before Chi Youyou slaps him.

“Lu Mingye, have you ever heard the saying: affection that comes too late is worth less than grass?”
