On the day of her interview, she sat across from him, her heart beating like a drum. He raised his head and his eyes slid across her face calmly, like looking at a stranger.
He hired her. Arrange for her to live across from him. Breakfast, stomach medicine boxes, snacks, she stuffed things into his world bit by bit. He accepted them all silently, neither refusing nor approaching.
Until late that night, he asked in the taxi: "When will you return my pen to me?"
The pen clip of the pen cap is engraved with a small fish with a red scale - it was a gift from her three years ago.
He stayed for three years. But he pretended not to know her.
One is the girl who hides her love in breakfast and hooks his little finger with her little finger. One is a man who is used to swallowing all his emotions into his stomach, putting his forehead on the back of her hand late at night and saying, "I'm scared."
From secret love to reunion, from tit-for-tat to clumsy approach.
This is a story about "a person who doesn't know how to love and a person who dares not to love, slowly learn to love each other again".
There is no earth-shattering misunderstanding, just two hearts that can't help but be attracted to each other, each practicing how to walk towards the other.
