“If there’s another life, I’ll find you sooner.”
In his previous life, Lu Sicheng silently watched over Shen Qinghuan for decades, but was too afraid to confess his feelings. When she died of illness, he knelt before her grave and vowed to find her in the next life.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the year she turned eighteen.
This time, he no longer stayed hidden in the shadows. When she was bullied, he was the first to rush to her defense. When her family took her back in and she was ostracized, he announced in front of everyone, “She’s my girlfriend.” When she asked in confusion, “Why are you so good to me?” he answered earnestly, “Because I owe you.”
From confusion to falling in love, from a whirlwind wedding to a deep and lasting romance, it took him two lifetimes to finally make her the happiest woman in the world.
But when she discovered that the locked drawer held every photo of her from the ages of eighteen to twenty-eight, he finally confessed, eyes red:
“If I told you I’ve waited two lifetimes for you, would you believe me?”
Some love is worth waiting for, lifetime after lifetime.
And she has all the lifetimes in the world.
