Seven years ago, he was her devoted senior, and she was his unfailingly beloved junior. An unexpected breakup, a cold and decisive "I don't love you anymore", he left for the ocean, leaving her alone to digest all the pain and confusion.
Seven years later, backstage at the international summit. He is a hot technology upstart in the spotlight and the founder of Xingchen Technology. She is a top audio engineer who is calm and professional in front of the console, and is well-known in the industry for her strength. The moment they reunited, time seemed to flow backwards. Only the guilt hidden in his eyes and the unhealed scars in her heart reminded them of the seven years that had passed between them.
He handed over a USB flash drive containing her old dreams, and the note read: "Xiaoxi, long time no see." He confessed that there were other reasons for his betrayal that year. The great changes in his family, huge debts, and seriously ill mother forced him to push her away and fall into the abyss alone. He asked for a chance to come back, vowing to never stop loving her.
But she is no longer the girl who gave up everything easily. How easy is it to rebuild trust after it collapses? "Mr. Zhou, there is only work contact between us." - She tried to draw a clear line.
However, the red thread of fate tightly entangled them again. Overcoming technical difficulties and dealing with business storms together, the past tacit understanding was quietly revived in the confrontation. His eyes are always following, and his protection is everywhere. Those evidences of his caution, those throbbings that she couldn't ignore, were eating away at her strong defense.
When past misunderstandings are revealed layer by layer, and when new challenges come one after another, can she still muster the courage to believe in her sincerity this time? Can he learn to be honest and truly stand side by side with her?
Intent: True love is not self-righteous sacrifice and pushing away, but the side-by-side and frankness after growth.
