* A bubbly sweetheart relentlessly pursues an emotionally avoidant woman
Throughout Ning Sui's youth, every synonym for beauty was embodied by Ji Mengting.
In middle school, a mother and daughter moved in next door to Ning Sui. Auntie Ji was cheerful and a wonderful cook, while Sister Ji was gentle, and Ning Sui especially admired her when she played the piano.
Later, Sister Ji became Ning Sui's middle school music teacher. Ning Sui was so proud that she would quietly tell everyone, "Actually... Teacher Ji is my neighbor!"
Whenever they happened to meet alone in the hallway, Ning Sui would demurely wave both hands at Ji Mengting, then whisper as she passed by:
"Sister Ji, I'm coming over to your place for dinner again today."
On the eve of the college entrance exam, Ning Sui was nervous, so she called Ji Mengting, who had moved away and now lived in another province.
Over the piercing wail of sirens, Ji Mengting softly told her:
"Ning Sui, good luck on your exams. May your future be bright."

Ten years later, Ning Sui was a teacher too, working at an elementary school in her city. One day, she accompanied a colleague to handle a dispute, and they went to a remote nursing home.
They left the elevator and walked down the hall, where an elderly woman with difficulty walking approached, accompanied by a uniformed caregiver.
As Ning Sui passed them, she glanced over casually. Two or three steps later, she suddenly stopped.
She turned around.
The elevator doors were slowly closing.
Through the gap, Ning Sui locked eyes with the caregiver supporting the elderly woman. The caregiver's lips parted slightly.
Clearly,
Ji Mengting had recognized her too.
