Back in college, Qu Yi's impression of Zhou Siwei could be summed up in a few words: famous, aloof, and difficult to get along with.
He was the heir to a venture capital group, and she barely knew him.
Later, after she started working, Zhou Siwei became her client in risk assessment, and their paths began to cross more often.
She was dating Lu Yu. Zhou was Lu Yu's college roommate, and now the real power behind the business world.
She and Zhou were no more than business acquaintances, exchanging polite nods.
Unless something unexpected happened, her life would carry on steadily like that.
Until one day, Lu Yu got drunk at a business dinner and called her to pick him up. Qu Yi assumed someone had already helped him into a car. In the drizzle, she folded her umbrella and opened the door of a black sedan.
Zhou Siwei was sitting in the back.
She froze. "Sorry."
Zhou glanced up at her, his voice even. "Lu Yu's over there."
Qu Yi nodded and started to get out, when a voice came from behind her.
"Do you want to tell him that I was the one who took you home last time?"
-
As far as Qu Yi was concerned, she would marry Lu Yu.
Their relationship was stable and steady. They seemed like the model couple on the path to marriage.
Until their relationship was on the brink of collapse, and they reached an impasse.
At last, Qu Yi asked, "Mr. Zhou, we're only business partners."
Zhou Siwei looked at her. "For now. That may not always be true."
"I'm getting married."
"Does he know we've kissed?"
Beyond all restraint, amidst the rising tide.
They kept the distance they were supposed to, yet were constantly caught in a hidden current.
Zhou Siwei had always wanted to "steal" Qu Yi away, but never found the right "moment."
Qu Yi would never know that someone had been watching her all along, through the parts of her life she never noticed. Quietly, secretly.
Zhou Siwei had waited for her for far more than seven years.
The silence after a blizzard is like a place where no one has ever been.
When night falls, who will be the last to shine?
