If Yu Ke had known she would run into Yu Xinyan's mother that day, she would never have left the house, even if it killed her.
She wouldn't have put on her mother's old clothes;
wouldn't have gone to the noodle shop near her home;
wouldn't have admitted she was Yu Ke;
and, most of all... wouldn't have let the mother of her kindergarten sweetheart take her phone and add Yu Xinyan, whom she hadn't seen in ten years, on WeChat.

Yu Ke naturally assumed there was no way he would remember a kindergarten playmate.
After all, even in her own memories, his face and childish voice had long since grown hazy.
After a brief, awkward exchange of greetings, she resigned herself to the two of them silently gathering dust in each other's contacts.
But who would have guessed
On the day they reunited, he sat across from her, his face, so different from the one in her memories, seeming to glow.
Yu Xinyan gazed calmly at the girl caught red-handed, a smile playing on his lips as he teased her:
"Yu Ke, ten years later, and you still love hiding in your shell like a turtle."
