The love between Lin Qiu and Shi Yanxi stayed forever in the hot summer of their junior year.
At that time, the young people were deeply in love and had a bright future. They thought they could spend their lives together side by side. Until Shi Yanxi's father was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer, his only last wish was to see his son get married before closing his eyes. With a dying relative on one side and a loved one on the other, he had no choice but to follow his family's arrangements, marry the girl designated by his father, and gently seal up that youthful love with his own hands.
Shortly after the marriage, his wife became pregnant, and his father passed away. Before his death, he repeatedly warned: When someone else's daughter marries into your family, she will flourish for you. As a man, you must never let her down. Shi Yanxi remembered this sentence for half his life. He has no love for his wife, but he treats his wife with full respect and dignity, fulfills his duties and filial piety, and never goes overboard. Later, when his wife suffered from breast cancer, he took good care of her and never left her, carving the word "responsibility" into his bones and blood.
And Lin Qiu, when she learned that he was getting married, she didn't cry or make trouble, didn't get entangled, and didn't sink.
In her thirties, she was already prepared to never get married. She resolutely returned to school and studied for a postgraduate degree in B-ultrasound, turning all her regrets and obsessions into the confidence to fight for her career. She grew up quietly, lived hard, and quietly hid her unfinished love deep in the years.
A person who keeps his promises in marriage,
One is strong alone in solitude.
Wrapped up by fate and responsibility, one mistake lasted nearly ten years.
It wasn't until his wife died of illness, all responsibilities were finally completed, and half their lives had passed, that the two met again in the sea of people. Time has aged her appearance, but it has never erased the love in her heart.
