He was seventeen years old and lost his way in the northwest. She smiled and handed over a bottle of water and pointed the way. Before he left, he carved a line of small words on the bottom of her kettle - 2013.8.17. That was the first day his heart moved.
For the next ten years, she took root in the desert to restore cultural relics. She was naturally sensitive to human faces, but she kept the broken kettle by accident. He has gone from a lost boy to a top curator. He has every photo of her in the past ten years on his phone. He never bothers her. He just wants to wait until he is good enough before standing in front of her.
Reunited ten years later, she was a seconded restorer and he was her leader. She just thought this curator was a bit weird - he always "happened" to know what kind of tea she liked to drink and what time she would be hungry. She said he was a good leader, and her colleagues rolled their eyes: Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?
At the same time, "temptations" began to appear in their respective worlds. The female CEO of the investor is determined to win over him, the documentary director pursues her, and the former classmate tries to restart the story of the past. When she refused, she was thinking of his back standing at the door of the repair room, and when he refused, she was thinking of her smile as he handed him the bottle of water. They don't know what the other person has rejected, but they just keep the same idea - no matter how good others are, they are not you.
Until the small writing on the bottom of the kettle is discovered, ten years of secrets surface. She cried and asked why he didn't tell her earlier, and he answered with red eyes: "I want to wait until I am good enough before I stand in front of you."
She is silent
