Shen Ruke's youth was a secret love held back by suffering.
Her father passed away suddenly, her grandparents left one after another, and others said "life is a threat to the family", which made her lock all her heartbeats in her heart. She studied hard, escaped from the town, and hid her thoughts about the boy in a notebook, a piece of warm baby, and a razor given as a graduation gift.
She thought she would never see him again in this life.
It wasn't until I returned to my hometown many years later that I learned from my aunt and uncle that there once was a handsome young man who found her empty home after traveling thousands of miles and left alone.
We met again on the snowy Lijiang River. He was a lawyer in his own firm, still calm and gentle. A late-night phone call and a simple friend request shattered the hard shell she had built over the years.
It turns out that the secret love that no one knew about was never her dream.
He had looked for her, waited for her, and remembered her for many years.
In the old summer, the cicadas have not stopped chirping, and the young people are coming.
This time, she didn't want to run away.
