Five years ago, Su Xiaowan loved someone.
Back then, Shen Chuan was young and proud, determined to get whatever he wanted.
He pursued her, waited for her, walked her home, and remembered all her little habits.
Later, he was also the one who pushed her away with his own hands.
Five years later, they meet again in Shanghai.
He has become a man everyone politely calls "Mr. Shen," and she is no longer the young woman who would quietly endure every hurt on her own.
They attend meetings together, discuss projects together, and clash over budgets of just a few tens of thousands.
Polite, professional, strictly business.
Su Xiaowan thinks it's all for the best.
She's long since moved on.
Until one day, she suddenly realizes...
Shen Chuan seems to have moved on, too.
She goes on a date, and he doesn't ask.
She has dinner with another man, and he doesn't ask.
When a meeting runs late, he even moves it up so she can make it to her date on time.
For the first time, Su Xiaowan realizes that what feels strange isn't seeing Shen Chuan again.
It's that the person who once always came toward her
has stopped in his tracks this time.
Everyone thinks Shen Chuan moved on long ago.
Only one friend who has known him for many years knows the truth:
In all five years, there has never been anyone else by his side.
"If you can't let her go, why don't you go find her?"
The man lowers his head and takes a sip of wine. A long while later, he gives a small smile.
"She's doing pretty well now."
"The fact that I can't let her go is my problem."
