Meeting Gu Jingming was the first step toward him.
He is as gentle as jade, considerate and meticulous. He remembers that she doesn't eat coriander and reminds her to bring an umbrella when it rains. But he never held her hand, never said "like", and always stayed in the tender and fuzzy zone of "it takes time". Chaochao thought this was slowness and reservation. She counted the days and waited, like waiting for a rain that didn't know when it would stop.
Then Chaochao met the puzzle piece that matched him on the way to find himself. That person was a partner he could work with and a lover he could rely on, Shen Yu.
