Mature, gentle heroine x devoted, disabled puppy-like hero | Mutual pining comes true | Childhood friends
At thirty, with both her career and marriage at a low point, He Jiayu stepped away from her daily life as a drifter in Beijing and decided to return to her hometown for a while.
The climate was pleasant and life moved at a slower pace. She could always enjoy her mother's homemade stuffed flatbread, and there was a kind younger neighbor and an old classmate she had not seen in years. She decided to stay.
Everything about her new life was wonderful, except for the way her younger neighbor looked at her: full of longing, yet restrained.
Zhou You had loved the girl next door since childhood. He worked hard to catch up, but six years separated them, along with his left leg, amputated above the knee. It was a gulf he could never cross. So he watched He Jiayu leave to attend university elsewhere, fall in love, get married, and settle in Beijing, and all he could do was wish her well.
Then one day, she suddenly came back.
The love he had buried in his heart began to bloom again, and Zhou You wanted to try one more time.
Love was impossible to control. It spilled out of every corner of daily life, impossible to hide.
He Jiayu never expected that the neighbor boy who had lost his leg in a car accident as a child would cross the muddy ground to reach out to her, declaring through his actions the love he had carried for years.
