Many years ago, she was standing at the side door of the auditorium holding flowers and saw him carrying someone else's schoolbag. The bunch of irises was never given away.
Years later, he is a powerful actor on the screen, and she is a partner of a top law firm who has returned to China to practice law.
A brand signing brings together two lines that should be parallel.
He remembered the way her eyelashes lowered as she turned the page. She didn't know he had a photo of her standing at the end of the hallway in high school on his phone.

He thought she already had a lover by her side, and she thought he had someone else in mind.
One thought she was about to get married, and the other thought he had someone else in his heart. They walked a long way through their respective misunderstandings.
He didn't know that every time she looked at him, he was looking down at the contract.
She didn't know that every time he looked at her, she just looked away.
They all remembered each other's smallest movements in various ways during a time that was invisible to others, but neither of them ever asked "Are you..."
But he couldn't help but get closer.
They are all waiting for the right time, an opportunity that cannot be missed.
Everything was slowly getting better, the things in the middle were being unraveled, and she was about to walk towards him.
An accident. No explanation, no goodbye.
Just like the bouquet of flowers that was not handed out six years ago, it once again stopped in mid-air.
"I'm not a person who takes the initiative, but I have been taking the initiative with you for a long time."
"I can restrain myself from many things, but you are an exception."
"I don't often fill my mouth with words, but when it comes to you - I never hesitate."
Intention: You can hide your love for someone for many years, long enough to think that there is someone else around him, long enough to believe that you should no longer have any expectations. But there are some people who can tell at just one glance that they can't let go.
