(Content warning: The heroine is somewhat avoidant. Please skip if that bothers you.)
“People who struggle to open up need a lover who won’t be driven away.”
He is Xie Jinyan. Afraid of being abandoned, he hides his deep feelings behind a tsundere facade.
She is Lin Younian. She pursued him for a whole year, then abruptly broke up with him six months later.
A work project brings them together again after three years apart.
But this reunion is something she has been planning for a long time.
-
During those three years apart, Xie Jinyan could only fall asleep by listening to her voice messages on repeat.
He suffered endlessly, convinced he would never forgive her and that she would never come back.
But the moment they meet again, the man’s carefully maintained facade crumbles completely.
He is utterly defeated.
-
“There’s nothing in my car that doesn’t belong to me.”
“You should have belonged to me, too.”
“You won’t get away this time.”
-
“The whole world tells me I shouldn’t keep going, but I only listen to the voice in my heart.”
In the end, even someone who struggles to open up can have all their insecurities healed by the lover who won’t be driven away.
Their love began with words that denied what they felt, and ended with them spending the rest of their lives together.
