Shen Zhiyin and Gu Shilin had only been together for three days when her back injury recurred and she was lying at home.
The symptoms during the recovery period were even more excruciating than when the injury occurred - first, body aches and sleepless nights, then limbs sore and limp, unable to hold a glass of water. The soft sound of him getting up every morning to buy groceries, the wontons he learned to make while wearing a crooked apron, and the hug he gave her when she knelt down in the hallway and cried.
He never said nice things, and would only say "soft-boiled" when she asked if the eggs were hard-boiled or soft-boiled.
She also slowly learned one thing: with him around, she didn't have to be brave.
Intention: The best love is to let "I" slowly become "us"
