Jiang Ran has been standing behind Shen Yan since she was eleven years old, watching him chase after flowers, watch him go bankrupt, watch him make a comeback, watch him fall in love with others - she used her twelve years of forbearance and obedience to play the role of the kid in his life who "never thinks too much".
Until the eve of his wedding, she received a message in Moments that was only visible to her: "The person I want to see most is you." The picture was of the downstairs of the old house where she lived when she was seventeen.
At that moment, she thought her twelve-year secret love finally had an answer.
But the next day, he appeared at the end of the red carpet on time, wearing a black suit and smiling at the bride.
Jiang Ran left Beicheng with his suitcase at three o'clock in the morning. Three years later, he was divorced and had nothing. He called to say that he finally understood who he loved.
He stood in front of her, crying and begging her for forgiveness and for another chance.
She looked at his tears, but what she was thinking about was the self who didn't dare to confess at the beach at the age of seventeen, the self who flew away alone at three in the morning, the self who took three years to learn not to look back.
"Shen Yan, do you know when you missed me? It wasn't the day you married someone else. It was every time you accepted me as a matter of course."
Some people's turning back is more cruel than not loving.
