In 2037, during the double winter of layoffs and breakups, Yu An hid in his grandmother Lin Xiao's old house.
While sorting out the belongings, a copy of "The Little Prince" from 1979 quietly slipped away. On the title page is a message from my grandfather Chen Hua: "To Xiao. I want to be your fox forever." The bookmark that follows is my grandmother's delicate handwriting: "When you say, 'Come at four o'clock in the afternoon,' I have been happy since three o'clock."
Through this slice of time, Yu An glimpsed a long agreement that began in the library in 1986:
Those were the years when the "laid-off wave" swept through, and love was not a castle in the air. Her grandfather, a silent technician, used hand-drawn sketches of houses as blueprints; her grandmother, a quiet librarian, used countless "three o'clock" expectations as bricks and mortar. Under the eaves of 14 square meters, they used "thick quilts given away" and "unspoken concerns" to build a solid planet in turbulent times.
Today, Yu'an is standing at a crossroads in life.
My grandparents spent their lives writing the answer: The essence of love is that in a world full of variables, you still dare to prepare all happiness for one person in advance.
