Huang Siyao’s first love was her first flutter of the heart as a teenager, and the person she still thought of after she had finally let go. Eleven years later, the reunion she had long since stopped hoping for, yet still secretly wished for, actually led to something more. He Xuxing’s sudden appearance threw her heart into disarray all over again. The grievances of youth, the secret joy of her crush, and the bittersweet ache at the end all came rushing back. When they met again, her heart still raced.
Family circumstances had forced the young He Xuxing to make what seemed like “the safest choice.” He liked her, so he would never let anyone hurt her. He never imagined that the person who would hurt her most would be the very person who loved her most: himself. But at the time, powerless to fight back, it was the best choice he could make after weighing everything.
Perhaps fate took pity on them. Huang Siyao and He Xuxing met again, and without a word, their hearts began to turn toward each other once more. Regret gave her the courage to try again; he came closer because he couldn’t bear to let her go. Their shared interest in photography brought them together and helped them make up for what they had missed in their youth. They silently avoided bringing up what had happened back then, but until that thorn was removed, it would remain lodged in their hearts, hurting them forever. Misunderstandings kept an invisible barrier between them.
On the night at the bar, they poured out their grievances by the river and finally cleared up their misunderstandings. Huang Siyao’s “deliberate revenge” concealed feelings she had never voiced. In the end, He Xuxing could no longer restrain himself and pulled her into his arms. Only later did they realize that fate had arranged their meetings long ago. All those times they had passed each other by were leading to the destined day they would truly meet.
Some say forgetting is the most painful thing in a relationship, but thankfully, neither of them ever forgot…
