At Sunset

[Mutual Healing + Love Grows Over Time + Happy Ending]

An overseas correspondent who can handle a camera and brave the front lines * An aid doctor who can perform surgery and cook

The female lead's career gets more focus.

"At sunset, light never truly disappears. It simply sinks beneath the earth, waiting to rise again."

While reporting from an earthquake zone, overseas correspondent Qin Huaiyue turned around and collided with Lin Jingyang, an aid doctor.

"Sorry, I was in a hurry," he said.

"It's fine. I was in the way," she replied.

They both thought it was just another ordinary brush with a stranger amid countless encounters on the battlefield.

But the more chaotic things became, the more often they ran into each other.

The same refugee camp, the same bombed-out area,

At the edge of life and death, they entrusted their backs to each other again and again.

He said, "If one day we can both watch a sunset from beginning to end, then perhaps peace will have come."

She picked up an acacia petal and tucked it into her pocket. "If that day really comes, remind me. I'll give this petal back to you."

On the night of the ceasefire, the camp held a simple bonfire party. He held her in his arms and danced with her for the first time, murmuring, "This doesn't feel real."

But she replied, "Being in your arms feels very real, and very free."

The guns could start up again at any moment. Tomorrow belonged to no one.

Everyone said battlefield romances could never end well, and idealism was doomed to wither. But they refused to believe it, because they had made a promise: "We'll watch the sunset together."

The sunset might come late, and the night might be long.

But as long as you keep walking toward me, the light will always be ahead.

Dedicated to everyone who, even in the darkness, is still willing to wait for the light.
