Chen Man has been promised to Wei Lin, the eldest son of Wei, since he was born. She thought that this was how it would be in her life - walking down the track and being a qualified fiancée.
Until the day Wei Lin had an accident.
In the afternoon when the news came, his brother Wei Tongzhou pressed her under the ginkgo tree in the service area and kissed her. She slapped him and he caught it. "It's not enough, fight again."
That was the first time she looked at him. Growing up, he always stood three steps away. When she looked up at Wei Lin, when she sent Wei Lin to the car, when she stood in the middle of the crowd as her fiancée - he was always on the outside, leaning against the wall, holding a can of soda in his hand. She never looked back. He never walked away.
After the funeral, she went to Hai County to work as a clerk, thinking that this was the end of the past. Six years later, he emerged as an investor. After the meeting, his car parked at the door of his unit, holding a bag of dumplings in his hand.
"The one in the east of the city, they sell cabbage and pork. You said that in the winter of your sophomore year in high school."
From the age of four to twenty-four, he waited for her for twenty years. Not a substitute, not a makeshift. She wanted to be a person worthy of being loved in front of Wei Lin, but she didn't have to in front of him.
From now on I dare not look at Guanyin.
