At the age of twenty-eight, Xie Cifang became the youngest pet hospital director in the city. He thought that the rest of his life would be spent dealing with those dumb furry children, until one rainy night, a soaked woman rushed into the emergency room holding a ferret.
The moment he looked up, ten years of time suddenly collapsed.
Lin Qi never thought she would see him again - the boy who broke the appointment before the college entrance examination and made her wait for four hours at the station. Now he wears a white coat and calmly operates on her ferrets, just like any other patient.
"The operation was successful." After he said that, he turned and left, as if she was just a strange host.
But in the duty room late at night, she saw him falling asleep clutching the yellowed hand-painted bookmark. It was a drawing of a fat ferret she had given him in high school.
Ten years ago, she was forced to transfer schools. On the day they agreed to say goodbye, he missed the appointment at the station. In the past ten years, she has traveled all over the mountains, rivers and lakes, but she always unconsciously looks for figures in white coats in the camera. And he guards this pet hospital, which treats all kinds of exotic pets. There are text messages in the drawer that he can never send out: "My dad is in the hospital, I'm sorry" and "Where are you, I will find you."
Later, Lin Qi learned that he missed not only one date that year, but also 137 text messages that were never delivered, and a heart that had been waiting for ten years.
It turns out that the deepest regret is not that we no longer love each other, but that the misunderstanding is still there and the people are separated.
