I girl Su Chaoyan demarcates a safe zone with half an inch of distance. Silence is her instinct to get along with the world. The young Xu Nanyi grew up guarding this boundary. He never crossed the boundary or spoke out loud throughout the whole process, and gave in to the extreme to ensure her stability. The two never saw each other until their death. Her relief had nothing to do with love, while his perfection had its own destination. There is no sensation or reunion, just two souls in their respective boundaries, completing the most tender respect for each other.
Purpose: True tenderness is never about salvation across boundaries, but the absolute respect for the way others exist; love does not have to end with possession or recognition. Being quietly fulfilled within their respective boundaries is the most complete treatment between souls.
