When I was in kindergarten, Li Hiiragi, a young man with clean facial features moved next door.
Accompanying each other day and night, childhood sweethearts, the heartbeat of young people grew up silently, from ignorant playmates to each other's only ones.
I thought this was a lifetime of tenderness.
It wasn't until the day I came of age that my parents told me the secret they had buried for many years——
I have a younger brother who was given away as a child.
And the person who just came back to me is Li Hieragi.
The blood is from the same origin, and the love is irrepressible.
We fell in love without telling everyone, and fell into a taboo and hot tenderness.
The good times didn't last long, the love affair was exposed, and our parents became furious and objected, and forcibly separated us.
He was sent to a distant foreign land, forced to cut off contact, and disappeared from my youth.
I stayed where I was, studying hard, getting into a top university, and waiting for him to come back day after day.
Wait, it will be eleven years.
To hear news from him again was not to reunite, but to pass away.
At the funeral, everyone was grieving, but I froze in place, unable to shed a single tear.
Later I learned the truth from my parents:
In the years since he was away from his hometown, he was admitted to the police academy, kept his name anonymous, and entered the police force with his own body, becoming the most dangerous undercover agent.
He never forgot me.
It's just that I can never come back.
Waiting for Li to return, he will never return.
Li Kai's whole life was trapped in that summer and Li Hieragi who would never come back.
Purpose: To tell the story of childhood sweethearts' young heartbeats, the taboo entanglement of blood and fate, the eleven-year long wait when they were forced to separate, and the lifelong regret that the lover risked his life and parted forever. A lifetime of waiting is used to describe love and parting, and to describe the involuntary fate and the never-ending longing.
