Back then, he was the student she never dared to cross the line with. Eight years later, when they met again, he became the one change in her life she could not refuse.
At twenty-seven, Huan Yishu was the gentlest English teacher at an elite private school, trapped in a marriage as bland as water. Eighteen-year-old Mu Chengye was the most carefree boy at school. Amid the clamor of the classroom, his gaze passed over everyone else and settled only on her quiet figure at the lectern.
The feelings neither of them had voiced were separated by eight years and an ocean.
When they met again, he was a rising star in business, while she was a single mother with a daughter, working hard to make ends meet. She had become his younger sister’s tutor. The moment Mu Chengye opened the piano room door and their eyes met, he clearly heard it: the long-sealed door in his heart had swung open again.
This time, he was no longer the powerless boy he had once been. He would find his way into her life, and stay.
Later, he became the surest name signed to the rest of her life.
