1V1 Reunion after a long separation
Two years ago, Wen Zhihe and Ji Nanhuai accumulated countless incommunicable barriers during their long relationship. Quarrels and misunderstandings piled up again and again, and the two were trapped in that mutually consuming relationship. After a fierce cold war, the exhausted Wen Zhihe chose to leave overnight, delete all contact information, and walk away alone.
She came back two years later and opened a "Yizhen Studio" specializing in cheongsam making in an old alley. She thought her life would go on quietly like this - making clothes, taking measurements, arranging threads, embedding herself in the rhythm of stitches and fabrics, and no longer being disrupted by anyone. Then he pushed open the door.
Ji Nanhuai recognized her at a glance. The ends of her hair were cut short, her accent changed, and even the studio sign had a new name. But her fingers would still twist the needle and thread when she was nervous. The nail of the ring finger of her left hand was still a bit shorter than that of her right hand. Her habitual posture when she lowered her head to thread the needle had not changed in seven years.
He brought the regrets accumulated over the past two years and the words he could not say out loud to get closer again, hoping to untie the knot in each other's hearts. But she swayed repeatedly in front of his gaze and the reappearance of old things - pieces of cheongsam, an old book she took with her when she left, the shell she had built over two years was worn away inch by inch.
From pretending to be strangers to sitting together again to eat a bowl of noodles, the two people slowly learned to communicate well through repeated approaches and trials. The "unspeakable" and "unwilling to bow" that once separated them began to be dismantled, smoothed, and re-sewed piece by piece on this road to a new beginning.
