The first person Liu Nuo saw when she was born was Han Dong, the boy next door who was three years older than her.
She was the little glutinous rice held in the palm of the family. She would hold the pillow and knock on his door when she couldn't sleep at night. When she had a fever, he was always the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes. In kindergarten, other girls were not allowed to hold his hand. She had clutched the spatula since she was a child and focused on grabbing his stomach. From the moment he met her, Han Dong's world could only pretend to be her - leaving all snacks to her, shielding her from all grievances, being her light in the darkness, and only recognizing her for the rest of his life.
When she was fourteen years old, her family was broken up and her brother and sister were separated. She fell into an orphanage and he went to a foreign country, and the two completely lost contact.
Xiao Nuomi, who was once bright and dazzling, became closed and lonely overnight, silent as a shadow.
Three years later, Han Dong traveled across mountains and seas to find her, and used three years of gentleness and patience to pry open her closed heart little by little. He stayed with her in silence, accompanied her to heal herself, accompanied her to dance again in the dance studio, and watched her regain her broken light little by little under the spotlight.
When her lost brother finally contacted her, when Fu Jingkun, whom she met in the orphanage, became a bright star with help, and when the suspicion of her parents' death persisted, she took the initiative to return to China.
Afraid that he would be uneasy, she spoke first:
"Han Dong, let's get engaged before returning to China."
He was afraid that she would leave, so she made a lifelong promise to him.
She was afraid of being haunted by the past, so he accompanied her to face everything.
From the first time we met at birth, to childhood sweethearts, from the dark abyss to the radiant light.
Along the way, he was her salvation, and she was the only one in his life.
As long as it's you in the end, it doesn't matter if it's a little later or a little painful.
