He had healed so many hands, but he dared not hold hers.
Fifteen years ago, on the day Shen Yan moved out, he stuffed a note under the door of Su Nian's house:
"When you grow up, I will help you cultivate yourself."
Fifteen years later, he was a genius doctor in the hand surgery department of Renhe Hospital, known as "Shen Yizhen".
She is the owner of a small coffee shop in the old city, guarding the antique coffee machine that is exactly the same as the one he gave her.
He comes to buy beans every week, sits in the corner and leaves after drinking. He has saved coffee wrappers for four years, each with her name written on them.
She receives unsigned postcards every year from different cities, and each one shows the path he has taken.
They are all waiting.
Wait for someone who is afraid to speak before taking that step first.
Until one day, he came to repair the coffee machine in casual clothes and did not dare to look at her the whole time.
Until she brought a cup of "Childhood Past" and asked: "Do you still remember that there is a kind of sugar water that is very sweet even if you forget to add sugar?"
It turns out that some waiting is not about forgetting, but spending every day of the rest of your life to slowly heal yourself who has been waiting for too long.
Intention: The longest confession of love is not 'I love you', but 'I am always here'; the deepest healing is not forgetting the pain, but having someone accompany you to make the days of waiting worth it.
