Su Wan and Li Jue have known each other for more than 20 years.
When she was seven years old, she went to play with him in a white dress, and he threw mud on her dress. She didn't cry, she pounced on him and beat him.
From that day on, their relationship was set - she quarreled with him, he provoked her, the two disliked each other across a hot pot table, but they never really went far apart.
He would leave shrimp slippers for when she was late, send an ugly photo of a cat late at night when she collapsed after working overtime, and send her an emergency light through a typhoon. But he never said why.
She never asked.
More than twenty years have passed, and they have fought from elementary school to the workplace, from school uniforms to suits. Everyone thought they were mortal enemies, until one day, he put shrimp sliders into her bowl without adding a harsh word as usual.
Su Wan suddenly didn't know what to do.
Later, she opened her encrypted photo album, which was filled with every message and screenshot he had ever sent - she called this "evidence." As to what the evidence was meant to prove, she finally began to wonder.
There is an encrypted note on his phone, and the password was set the year she graduated. The latest one reads: "She ate shrimp sliders tonight. She didn't criticize me."
It turns out that some people were the answer from the beginning. It just took them twenty years to learn to ask that question.
Concept: It's not that adults are incapable of being emotionally moved, it's that they recognize the dangerous person too early, and then spend half their lives practicing how to approach them quietly.
