[Coming of Age, Youth, Devoted Love, Healing]
When Lin Mu arrived at the Ren'ai Orphanage, all she had was an old cloth quilt, a photograph, a jade pendant, and a note written by her mother.
Food at the orphanage was divided according to how strong you were. She was too small and often went hungry.
Once, while delirious with a fever, she remembered her mother's last words: “The note... bread.” It turned out her mother had put her meager earnings on a store membership card. Afraid Lin Mu might lose the card while she was so young, her mother had made her memorize the number.
When she finally got a warm croissant, it was like seeing a light in the darkness. But one corner of the “7” on the note had long since blurred into a “1” from her tears, so the number was wrong. No one ever told her. Getting to eat bread was the only happy memory she shared with her friends at the orphanage.
All she wanted was for herself and her friends to keep living together, forever and ever. But it was so hard.
Little Lu Chao has been having things stolen from him lately. He put all the money he'd painstakingly saved on a cake shop membership card, planning to sneak off and buy himself cake, but lately things keep going wrong.
Little Lu Chao is at war with the card. He says nothing, but he's curious, imagining himself as a police officer catching the thief.
In the end, of course, he finds nothing. His childhood friend teases him about it for years.
Years later, he unexpectedly discovers that the girl who loves to put on a fake smile is the “thief.” He's not sure, so he takes another look...
Lu Chao is over the moon. Looks like starting young is the right way to dote on your wife. He knew how to raise his future bride even as a kid.
