Yu Tingwan is a road addict, a serious kind of person.
She came to Nanyu to look for Jasmine, but got lost in Yueqi Lane and ran into Wen Xuyan's arms. He was the restorer here, he was cold and taciturn, but he picked her up easily.
In those days, he took her to eat jasmine, visit flower fields, write postcards at the Slow Mail Station, and go to Qiyunding to see the lights of the entire city.
She thought it was just a short visit, but she didn't know that he had already traced her into his bones and carved her into the tiles.
Until someone from the Wen Group came to her, saying that Wen Xuyan was the only son of the Wen family, and that they were approaching her just to defraud her of the graphic and textual information about Yueqi Lane. Every picture of the structure of the old house and every tile pattern she drew became a bargaining chip for the Wen Group's "protective demolition".
She didn't believe it and rushed into his studio, only to see him tearing into pieces the "Jasmine Alley" she had painted for a whole year to apply for protection in front of everyone in the Wen family.
"Yu Tingwan, you don't really think I'm in love with you, do you?"
"The ancient alley is going to be demolished. This painting of yours will remain an eyesore."
It was raining the day she left Nanyu, and she threw away the dead jasmine bracelet on her wrist.
Three months later, a letter from the Slow Mail Station was mailed to her.
It's a postcard he wrote three months ago, with an extra line on the back -
"If I hurt you later, it must be because I love you. Yueqi Lane is still there, and I am still waiting for you at the entrance."
She rushed back to Nanyu overnight. In the morning light, the once high-spirited man set up a painting repair stall at the entrance of the alley.
"Wen Xuyan, why do you make decisions for me?"
He pulled her into his arms with red eyes: "I have no money and no power now. All I have left is this life and you."
"That's enough."
From then on, Mr. Wen's love for his wife had no bottom line. She worked on her draft until late at night, and he warmed milk to accompany her; she casually said she wanted to eat clear jasmine, and he went to line up at five in the morning.
"Why are you so clingy?"
"Because it's you, of course I have to stick with you forever."
The flowering period of jasmine is very short, only three days. But I love you for more than one season.
Intent: Real protection is never pushing away, but standing side by side
